Overall, a great dining experience. Very close to the Luas stop, so making connections to City Centre or Cherrywood is very easy. There's a pay and park parking space just across the road which makes it very convenient for any one driving to this restaurant.
Ambience is nice and cosy. Table for two people is really small and it can get very congested with food, drinks and cutlery on the table.
Food is nice. We tried the Lobster Tails for starters and it was really good. For anyone who has tasted the OG chilli chicken, I would recommend not to try it in Kinara as we felt it was just shredded chicken mixed in a sauce. Main course was good to be frank. They made it spicy on request and I have no complaints about it 😂. Did not have any space left to try their desserts but maybe next time.
Service is great. We were served our food without any delay. Great staff and very friendly. Great job on this side.

We had a fantastic time at Kinara Kitchen the other night! The manager, Yogi, who greeted us at the door, was absolutely spot on – a sharp, incredibly friendly guy who really knew his stuff. He suggested some fantastic dishes for us, and each one was a hit. He made sure we were well looked after, and the whole experience was top-notch. The food was brilliant, full of flavour, and the atmosphere was just lovely. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening out. Definitely a place we’ll be back to! Highly recommend it.

All good good ambience but beware if the 10% discretionary charge that they add in the bill if you are more than 4, which is mandatory and they won't forego. Recommend to avoid the place if you are more than 4 in number, unless you want to pay10% extra. I have not seen this in other restaurants but I could be wrong. Also overpriced too without the discretionary charges.

We recently visited Kinara Kitchen as a group of eight, and as always, it was an incredible experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a night out with friends.
The staff were absolutely brilliant – attentive, friendly, and efficient. A special mention goes to the manager, Talha, who went above and beyond to ensure our evening was enjoyable. His professionalism and warm demeanor added a personal touch that made the night even more memorable.
The food was outstanding, with a fantastic selection of dishes bursting with flavor. Each plate was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Everyone in our group left feeling happy and satisfied.
Kinara Kitchen never disappoints. It’s consistently a top choice for great food, excellent service, and an all-around amazing night out. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience eating out here :)
Been eating out a lot & this place Kinara Kitchen in Ranelagh is top notch, better than any eating out experience I’ve had in Ireland in a long time. Solid service, good quality, fresh ingredients, absolutely delicious vegetarian dishes :)
