KOHINOOR Indian Cuisine

"Amazing dinner with friends, great service, good atmosphere and the food is to kill for!!!"

"We Door Dashed, trying them for the first time. We ordered samosas, garlic and plain naan, Chicken Tika Masala and Matar Paneer. It was all the blandest food we've ever eaten. The Matar Paneer was void of any flavors. It was literally a black hole of flavor! No salt. No spices. Nothing. The "gravy" was like water, see pic of my plate. The garlic naan tasted like plain naan. The Chicken Tika Masala tasted like they put bland boiled chicken into flavorless runny cream of tomato soup. The samosa had a seasoning sprinkled on top of it that gave it flavor....otherwise no flavor. The portions were small. I'm actually shocked at how tasteless this food was. If you're looking to try Indian food but are scared of flavor...this is the place for you!"

"Let me start by saying that I hesitate to share of the hidden gem that Kohinoor is, for sake of my own selfishness. It is for the simple fact that they are doing such an incredible job bringing our town something so remarkable, I’m left with no choice. From the moment you walk in, you’ll find a very clean and tidy appearance accompanied by the aroma of fresh, delicious cuisine. My lady and I were greeted with a smile by a lovely woman who sat us promptly at a set table. Then followed a young man who immediately provided us with cool water from a copper pitcher, very classy. Following was another fine gentleman who provided a serving of crisp lentil chips with a trio of delightful sauces. For as busy as the restaurant was, our order was taken in a timely manner and it was not long before our food arrived, however; it was long enough for me to become excited, as I seemed to fall under a spell at the scent of some of the other patrons entrees as they emerged from the kitchen. The first item to arrive was the ‘Samosa Chaat’ and let me say, this was the moment I knew I was about to eat some of the best Indian food I’ve had to date. The best part is that I was right. The layers and depth of flavor in conjunction with the quality and presentation were second to none. Now, in closing, I’ll spare the blather and bore and say simply this: This is what we’ve all been waiting for. This is worth a drive from American Canyon, Antioch, Danville, etc. As a man who’s loved Indian food for my entire adult life, I’ve never eaten food I’ve enjoyed more than what I had merely an hour ago."

"My wife and I have eaten here several times. This family owned restaurant has very friendly, attentive service. The food is excellent. The tandoori chicken is the moistest, most flavorful I have had anywhere in the world. Their lunch rolls are outstanding. I took half home for dinner. Everything is fresh. The chef is talented. Highly, highly recommended"

"First time eating here for the soft opening and we had a wonderful night. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed talking with to them and the owner. The food is really flavorful and every bite could not be any better! Kohinoor definitely is bringing their A game to Benicia! Currently travel to concord for Indian food and that stopped tonight!"
