"Food was spot on for Indian cuisine. We were hoping for the lunch buffet, but that is only on Friday & Saturdays. I ordered the Chicken Kadai which was noted spicy, but I didn't think it was. The chicken has a good mix of the flavors: onions, tomatoes, ginger, & garlic; nothing too powerful or stood out, just tasted really good. Of course every order should be put in with an order of Naan bread to complete the meal.All 4 of us enjoyed the dine in experience, other than the loud door opening & closing. I'm not sure what could be done about that, but the food is what we went for & it did not disappoint! We all agreed it was delicious & we would all go back!Just a few steps away from Douglas County Court House."
"Another great visit to Kinaara! My friend and I are creatures of habit and ordered the same meal as last time, and it was just as good as we remembered. I also added a hot chai tea to my meal, and it was the perfect beverage for a winter evening.In addition to fabulous food, our server, Devin, was super attentive and upbeat. The whole experience was lovely!"

"The family wanted Indian food and they said Star Indian is the place to go. Large shared parking lot with other businesses in the strip mall. Our order was Samoas, Garlic Naan, Chicken Korma, and Chicken Tikka Marsala. Rajkeesh (sp?) took my take out order, was so friendly, offered me water while I waited. Great hospitality. The order also came with complimentary rice pudding and a fried doughball that was soaked in a honey mixture. The restaurant has a great dining room, bar and semi private large party area. I would love to return here. Ok, bye."
"Good food and outstanding service! A great option for dining if you're in the Gene Leahy mall area in downtown. A great selection of Indian bread as well as vegan options on their menu. I recommend the garlic naan and the lamb korma. Some parts of the place can use a little refresh, but overall a great spot to wine and dine."
"Everything was so good! We had a new to the cuisine participant and he was instantly in love. Try the Korma"
"This Indian cafe was an excellent choice from amongst the array of eateries at North Park. My bro had tandoori chicken with medium spice which he really enjoyed. I had kadai vegetable curry that was at the lowest spice level. It was delicious and the spiciness was just right. We both had steamed rice and roti. The space is very bright with windows on two sides. One wall has a row of booths with tables and chairs providing the rest of the seating. I didn't pay much attention to the bar, so I'm not sure how well-stocked it is. There was a tv playing music videos from India. That was fun to watch but the music could have been a bit softer. If this was closer to my house, I would probably come here more often."
"Very very good Indian! A huge menu! Probably some of tho most authentic Indian I've had along with some of the best. WARNING-- they take their spice level seriously. They mean business. Nice place, clean and smells amazing when you walk in. Our server was great and brought more than enough water which was needed with the heat of the food! But so so good."
"This is a pretty solid choice for Indian in town! I've only gotten take out from here a couple times, so I can't really speak on the experience dining in, but I can comment on the food. I've mostly just gotten their chicken curries like their butter chicken and tikka masala, and those were both great, creamy and flavorful. They do charge less if you pay with cash (~10%), so if you're the cash carrying type then that's something you might want to keep in mind."

WOW! I had the Chicken Korma and shared the garlic naan with my friend and I absolutely loved it all! The food was so delicious that I'll def in Italy be back to try their other dishes! We went on a Wednesday night at 5:30 and it was empty which made for a nice quiet setting to talk, with a nice and attentive server.

Kinaara has become a go to lunch spot for me. Even before it came to regency I would visit the Millard spot. Everyone that I take there for the first time raves about the food, and usually goes back on their own. My last visit I tried the mushroom curry and it was amazing. The medium spice level was perfect for me. Service was excellent as usual. Pro tip- if you get the biryani you will have up to 4 meals leftover! The naan is also delicious. I recommend the garlic rosemary m!

I was looking for a dinner spot within walking distance of our hotel while in town for work. I love Indian food and don't get it often enough so we decided to try this place. We went early in the evening (around 5 PM) and there were only a couple other tables seated. It's a very nice looking space. Serene and peaceful. The server was very helpful and letting us know the answers to all our menu questions. I ordered the lamb madras at a level 8.5. And it was delicious! It wasn't super hot. Maybe next time I would try a nine. We also had the garlic naan based on all the great yelp ratings and I would say that is a must try. We started with the vegetable samosas, and we both thought those were worth, ordering again also. Unfortunately, my coworker had a Hair in her entrée. The staff was super nice about getting her a new one made right away. But I don't think her experience was as good as mine. I didn't want to eat in front of her and she wanted to go back to the hotel so we just packed everything up and, took it back to the hotel. They were very nice about it, but unfortunately that will happen once in a while.

We came to Maharaja after being on the road and eating nothing but junk for the past few days. We were lucky to find this little gem. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious and the portions were much larger than you typically get at other Indian food restaurants. We left feeling full and taken care of. Highly recommend stopping here the next time you are trying to decide where to go for dinner.

This is a great local spot for really good Indian food! The staff is very kind and the service is quick. I ordered chicken tikka masala and garlic naan and it did not disappoint! You can choose your amount of spice, the chicken was perfectly cooked, the jasmine rice was delicious, and so was the naan. Some of the best tikka masala I've had in town! I'm excited to try more dishes here

Astoria has become my favorite Indian restaurant in Omaha!I've tried many Indian restaurants in search of the perfect chicken tikka masala and have found it at Astoria. The creaminess is perfectly mixed with tomatoey sauce and is full of flavor and spices. The chicken is soft and tender as well. The butter naan dipped with the chicken tikka masala is so delicious! The best I've had. I usually get the vegetarian samosas for appetizer and the potato in is full of spices and flavor as well, goes perfectly with the mint chutney dipping sauce. The price is very reasonable and the service is great. Food comes out fast and piping hot..just how I like it! Highly recommend giving this place a try!

"This is probably some of the best Indian food I've had in Omaha. Every person I dined with thought the food was incredible. The service, however, was somewhat lacking. All of the entrees came out at different times, which meant some people in the party felt awkward staring to eat before others. And it was difficult to flag down the waiter at the end of the meal for boxes and to pay. On the basis of how delicious the food was though, I will certainly be coming back or getting takeout in the future"
"Decided to door dash some Indian food and this place hit the spot. The medium spice had just enough for what I was wanting. Each dish come with rice which is nice. The rice was flagrant with saffron. It was very good. The chicken in the Saag chicken was tender. The korma was delicious. The garlic bread had a couple of inconsistencies in it (soft with crispy side, a little over cooked in one part), but overall it was still really good."
"Clean, well lit space, with lots of healthy plants, which I take as a good sign. Outdoor seating options, friendly/knowledgeable server. Delicious mulligatawny soup--spicy, extra nice with the lemon. Dense, crispy, satisfying samosas. I would've preferred tamarind on the side rather than the yogurt/mint sauce, but it was ok. More yogurty than minty.The rice is delicious but there's too much served with tandoori shrimp. As to the shrimp, meh. Not bad but not enough tandoori hit for me to order it again.The side of saag was generous. It tasted green and clean but didn't have much spice or character.I'm usually gf but I did order a piece of plain naan, which was nice with the saag and rice, but a tad sweet on its own.And yes, this was way too much food for one person. LolAll in all, recommended."
"This modest downtown fast casual restaurant has delicious food without frills or pretentiousness. Stop in for a quick sit-down meal or order food to go! We tried the chicken momos, paneer naan, Navratran biryani, and the chicken tikka lunch special. The momos were really great, and the hubs said they're just as good as what you can get back home in India. The dumpling wrapper is tender, the flavorful ground chicken filling is juicy, and the dipping sauce complements well. My chicken tikka was juicy, roasty, and tasty! The lunch portion is pretty small, so if you're hungry, you should probably get something in addition or order the regular portion. The navratran biryani is seasoned rice with golden raisins, cashews, and veggies...super delish and not too sweet! The paneer naan was sooo fresh, and the coriander chutney served alongside is herby and awesome.There are a couple drink fridges with canned and bottled drinks, and serve-your-own water in pitchers with refrigerated glasses.Put your worries aside and definitely try this place out. Your belly will be happy you did!"
"I've been here a couple of times and the food and service are spot on! I do feel like I'm "cheating" on equally fabulous Mediterranean restaurants nearby. I tend to order off the menu because what I want is a bed of salad with chicken on it, lemon potatoes, and a pita on the side which is different than the menu item that has a side salad. Just make sure you are clear, and they will happily accommodate."
"Another new dining option in the Old Market. If you're in the mood for some Indian fare, this place may have something for your craving. We really liked their Korma and Tikka Masala dish. We opted for the lamb, but have other protein choices. The garlic naan was also good and a great for dipping."
"We already like Jaipur near our house, so while visiting Dundee, we decided to try this new location. So glad we did.The aesthetic is clean and elegant. Tall ceilings and a wall of windows gives the place a vibe like you're on holiday. Seating is plentiful and comfortable. They were configuring tables for several large groups and we still had easy seating as walk-ins.The service was prompt, friendly and professional. She was always by to check on us without overbearing. The meal was plentiful and delicious. Three choices, plus naan, for two people, assured us leftovers. Always a bonus. The price was right for what we ordered too. We'll definitely return."
"Delicious Indian food (that's not very spicy) inside the Valero gas station! It's available only on Fridays for a few hours each for lunch and dinner. The Facebook page has the menu you can check out before heading over. Lines are long but the food is worth it! It's made for the taste of the locals (i.e. not spicy), but the flavor is still delish. The owner is super nice as well, so come support this family business and check out the food! You won't regret it!"
"The Chicken 65 dosa was wonderfully spicy to my preferences. The sides to dip the dosa into was a great journey of flavors. Wow"
"Came in on a Monday night with my family for my sister in-laws birthday dinner. We had a party of 8. This is a newer restaurant that only just recently opened. The service was great. The 2 gentleman working front of house were very attentive and checked in on us pretty regularly. The food really was the star of the show. Anytime I go to a new Indian restaurant i always start with lamb biryani. It was splended. The cheese and garlic naan was great. As was everything else that the people in our party had. They gave us 2 deserts on the house and they were also out standing. Will definitely come back!"
