Review of Kinara

They have an allergen menu (you have to ask for it) that’s a spreadsheet of every allergen in the kitchen and what dishes include it. In addition to celiac, I have a dairy allergy but really was craving biryani, which contained dairy. They were happy to oblige and used a fresh pan and reassured me that the pans were not used with gluten and that all the ingredients were safe. My meal came with papadam and they proactively went through the ingredients without my asking, and added that one of the usual sauces wasn’t given because they weren’t 100% sure it is gluten free.

Same goes for my biryani: it was presented as “gluten free, dairy free biryani” when delivered to the table. I love it when restaurants remember to do this as it is very reassuring.

The food, by the way, was mind blowing. I live in SE Asia and have never had such amazing biryani!
