We had a wonderful experience at Kinara Fusion Kitchen. The atmosphere was truly excellent—a relaxed and inviting place to spend time with friends or family. Their menu offers a diverse selection of enticing options. We sampled the dum biryani, the Bombshell Burger, and the curry-topped MVP Pizza, all of which were outstanding. For dessert, we enjoyed the fusion appetizer, Kanafeh Rasmalai, which provided the perfect conclusion to our meal. A few other highlights worth mentioning: * The place is clean, including the washrooms, which I greatly appreciate. * The staff members are very friendly and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. * I also appreciated their efficient online system for ordering and payment, which made the entire process seamless. The only potential drawback is the limited street parking due to the busy neighborhood, so it is advisable to plan accordingly if you are driving.

Sahil is awesome. What a welcome and place! So many great food & drinks options & a great representation of Indian food. We had desi / badmaash wings, pani puri, nihari, cheese naan & thumbs up. The decor is fun. People are noticing it- they should get more neon signs, fix up the front exterior & get some lighting to attract. Use the social media momentum :)

Had such a great evening by here! The service was PHENOMENAL. Shahil really took care of us and helped out with diet restrictions. He even whipped up a special dessert when none on the menu fit our dietary restrictions, which was so kind and generous! The naan was the fluffiest I’ve ever had. The vibes were great! Highly recommend and I want to go back soon to try the pizza!

Excellent food and amazing service! First time here from Houston and really enjoyed everything we ordered. The chicken 65 is the best I have ever had. Houston raves about its food here equally good if not better! Our favorite was the pani puri shots, chicken 65, MVP Pizza, BBQ Ribs, Chicken Tikka Masala and Biryani. The Biryani had a bit more masala than rice but it was still delicious! And the naan - best ever - so hot and fluffy!! Amazing end to a long touristy day here in Bay City! Everything was so good so we decided to give dessert a try and I am so glad b/c fheir Gajar ka Halwa reminded me of Karachi! So so so good!

We visited Kinara today for first time and we absolutely loved their fusion desi food! The pani puri shots were so chic and fun to eat, and the samosa’s were perfectly crispy and flavorful. The mocktails were super refreshing 👌🏻 truly the kind you keep sipping without realizing.😮‍💨 We ordered the mix grill platter, and it came out sizzling hot with amazing aroma.💥 The butter chicken was rich and creamy,and Their naan is not to be missed too soft, buttery, and the perfect combo. And the biryani right after was fragrant, flavorful. Also tried the mango lassi and chicken boti, both delicious and beautifully served.Ended up with their famous Faluda The presentation is top-notch, and the service is very accommodating. Overall, such a delightful dining experience!🫶🏻

Everything I've had from here has been delicious, but the Curry for MVP pizza is truly amazing. Don't forget the chutney and raita. Great meal for 2.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a great Indian restaurant in downtown San Francisco! The food was absolutely delicious full of rich flavors and beautifully presented. The space itself is gorgeous, with really nice decor and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay and hang out. The bartender made amazing cocktails, and the servers were super friendly and attentive. The owners even stopped by to check in, which made the experience feel extra personal. You can tell they put a lot of heart into this place. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again.

My colleague and I stopped by after a long day at our conference. We had developed quite the appetite and we were not disappointed. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was chill (perfect after sitting in sessions all day), and the food was incredible! We will definitely be coming back.

Enjoyed Kinara for dinner! The inside was really cute and cozy. It was very busy at dinner so make sure you do a reservation. Tandoori Fish was really tasty (I am not a big fish person but I really enjoyed it) no fishy taste. Lamb chops are a must and the cheesy garlic naan was almost like a mini pizza. Would recommend for a nice halal place to eat. They also had a prayer spot downstairs. This is downtown SF so make sure you go early to find parking (it’s a pretty popular area with lots of food spots so parking is very tough) there are two parking garages however they are flat fees of $30+, we were lucky to drive in circles until we got street parking. Again just go early to ensure you can find parking or if you are okay parking far and walking.

Quick update: the pizza tastes better when reheated! We ordered more than we could eat and just ate the leftover pizza for dinner. The flavors came out stronger with a day in the fridge and reheated in the oven. 👌 ---- We had a wonderful meal at Kinara. It was less fusion than we were expecting, but super flavorful dishes. Highly recommend the appetizers -- we thoroughly enjoyed the pani puri shots and the cauliflower Manchurian (warning ⚠️: it is spicy! 🌶️). The gulab jamun was also really flavorful and not cloyingly sweet like I've experienced in the past. Personally we found the green lantern chicken a little dry (although fine with the dipping sauces) and the curry for MVP pizza a less curry-forward that we expected (but not bad by any means). The pricing is very reasonable and every dish was very flavorful. A lot of tables near us were ordering the fire fries, which we'll have to order next time we visit. I would also guess that their curries are really good. Slightly lower marks for the service since it was a bit slow to begin with, but once we ordered the food came out very quickly. This is a hidden gem dinner option to add to the rotation. 👏

First time visiting San Francisco and this restaurant. Very busy for a Friday night. Our waiter, Rahil P., was so nice and helpful in picking out food. Amazing decor and atmosphere. Very well lit. We ordered the Desi chicken wings, the mixed platter, and fire fries with chicken. The mixed platter included chicken boti, beef boti, tandoori chicken, and lamb chops. Food was amazing. Very flavorful. Kashmiri chai served on Fridays and Saturdays. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco.

3 brother's with a story, serving trend setting and flavourful cuisine. Chicken 69 and their naans are a must try. Great service, ambiance and will visit again !

One of the best restaurants we have been too! The staff are so incredibly friendly and the owner is amazing. We enjoyed everything. The new dishes were amazing. We were so happy with everything. It's a must have stop when you are in Bay Area

Great location, great service, good ambiance but some of the food left a little more to be desired. We ordered a few things the burger was a bit of disappointment, probably better to call it onion burger than bison anything. The patty was a bit like Chapli kebab and not enough meat, the proportions were off severely. The house fav chick nan was amazing, better than the mango chicken pizza. The non alcoholic drinks were great as well. The wings and loaded fries were alright. Still enjoyed the visit and if I am near by will try other dishes.

Amana

Great ambiance with Instagram-worthy decor. The food presentation is top-notch, and the service was excellent throughout. The samosa chaat was flavorful, and the ribs, while tender, were a bit too heavy on the BBQ sauce for my taste. The chicken tikka masala was decent, though not a standout. I wasn’t too fond of the naan, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. I’d definitely go back!

We had dinner at Kinara while visiting SF. I live in Sacramento and I heard this place had pretty good pakistani food. To my disappointment, the food looked great but didn't taste great. I wish I had gone around the corner to Pakwan instead. We ordered the mixed grill, karahi chicken, biriyani, nihari, chicken 65, gol guppa shots and a burger and of course naans. The mixed grill had an assortment of overcooked/dried chicken, lamb and beef kabobs; nothing on this plate was right. The karahi chicken was ok but nothing special. The biriyani, nihari, and chicken 65 were pretty good. The naan was probably the best thing we ate. My kid ordered a dragon/mango mocktail that tasted like fruit punch with soda water; don't order the mocktails. All the food looked great but didn't deliver on taste. Skip this place and try the other pakistani places a block away.
