I liked most of the dishes, but a couple standouts were the Andhra Goat Curry and Moong Dal Payasam (dessert).
Atmosphere is basic and the staff is not engaging. They barely acknowledge you and just keep to themselves. The staff at Godavari is much more friendly.
I liked almost everything (some things I was not a fan of but that’s the point of a buffet! It’s still fun to try it) I had one bite of everything and went back up for seconds of everything I liked
They have some rose milk (super sweet strawberry milk drink) and some fun hot sweet tea included ; I had mine like a dessert and really liked it (too sweet as a starter though)
They have paneer served all different ways; plenty of decent options if you’re a vegetarian (the fried paneer starter one I did not like at all; I think it doesn’t save well at a buffet style serving option, I was glad I only tried two tiny pieces – but the rest of the paneer was super good in the other dishes!)
We asked if we could order one buffet to go and they offer a good amount of containers to take to go (obviously for the price of another dine in – $22) shown in my attached photos
For dinner we had the mango lassi, onion pakora, chicken korma, and paneer masala. I always appreciate when restaurants bring out papadums and chutneys as well which Kinnera did.
However, I wasn’t a huge fan of the pakora. I didn’t get a lot of onion flavor in them and found the dish to be very dry. A sauce would have been a welcome addition. My chicken in the korma was cooked very well as it was nice and tender. For $16 the portions were huge and the meal comes with plenty of rice. I wasn’t as impressed with my korma sauce though as I’m used to a creamier base. My significant other said there wasn’t a lot of paneer in his masala either.
Our service was standard but pleasant. The waiters didn’t come over as we were eating and took a while to ask if we wanted the bill. However, they were prompt once we said we were ready for the check. I love Indian food and have had it around the world but I am glad this place is up and running. One day I’d like to try the lunch buffet.
Every dish we ordered was a hit. We started with the Stuffed Mirchi, Chicken Lollipop, Samosa Chaat, and Veg Manchurian, which were all packed with flavor. For our main courses, the Chana Masala (perfectly spicy), Malai Kofta, and Paneer Handi were all delicious. The Bullet Naan was especially awesome—we can’t recommend it enough!
The service was also incredibly quick and attentive.
We have to give a special shout-out to the owner, Pavan. He was so nice and welcoming. Not only did he give us a free dessert, but he also took the time to suggest some places for us to see in Rhode Island.
Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. We truly loved it and highly recommend Kinnera to anyone looking for amazing Indian food and service.
My husband and I stopped in for the lunch buffet today, and it was absolutely excellent. Even though we arrived close to the end of the buffet hours, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—we didn’t feel rushed at all, which we really appreciated.
The food was outstanding. Every dish was spiced perfectly—full of flavor without being overwhelmingly hot. Some of our favorites included the chicken pakora, crispy baby corn, paneer butter masala, and the goat curry, which was cooked beautifully.
We made sure to leave room for dessert and I’m so glad we did. The carrot halwa, rice kheer, and tres leches were all delicious sweet treats to end the meal. We also loved the mango lassi and the Irani chai.
Between the high-quality food and the friendly service, this is easily a new favorite for us. We will definitely be back!
The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine that delights the senses, Kinnera is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
