Absolutely delicious! Never disappoints! And wonderful service too! The Chicken Tikka Masala is fantastic.

I have been living in NYC for past 5 years and on my way back from Maine, stopped by here for dinner and i have to say this, this is the closest to how indian food is supposed to be i have had in past 5 years. Amazing staff, fantastic service, good quantity for their prices. Will definitely visit again if got a chance. read more

Solid Indian option along the shoreline. We've eaten in once here and gotten takeout a few times. Food has always been consistent (my wife recommends the vegetable biryani and my son, the naan). Very friendly service too. read more

the best Indian restaurant around. would highly recommend their butter chicken and garlic naan

The workers are very kind and helpful when I asked about the menu options. They're respectful and considerate during the pandemic. The store itself takes many precautions because of COVID, and for that I applaud them. 5/5 stars. Plus, the food is amazing. read more

I'm writing a preliminary review but once they are open to dine in will revisit my review. The strong point, they were very busy, which tells me well liked, however bc of them being busy with maybe being under staffed some of my food came out lukewarm and was not freshly cooked. It was a fried item that bc it had been sitting was very greasy and just not appetizing. Like I said , when Covid subsides, and they're open for in house dining I will try them again bc they were still fair read more

Best Indian food I've had in a long time. I started with the shrimp poori. 6 big shrimp in a wonderful sauce in poori. Not only was it a treat but would have been enough for dinner. I then had the lamb vindaloo- medium spicy. I might dare for the real spicy next time. My significant other had the tomato soup which he couldn't stop raving about and another lamb dish. Our service was excellent and the place is charming. A great addition to the shoreline!! read more

Fantastic addition to Guilford. Food had a lot of depth and the spices were very intricate. Iced tea was also unique and delicious. Everything was very fresh as well. Yum! read more

Wonderful space. Great presentation and it was delicious. We decided to try a new spot instead of our usual space and I'm glad we did! Lovely staff and so friendly! Lunch prices are very reasonable read more

As we continue to mourn the loss of the Stone House and Whitfield's, we 06437 residents had been starting to come to terms with the fact that we would have to seek decent dining options elsewhere. That is, until, Kamana popped up. Kamana brings new hope that Guilford may again reemerge as a hub of moderately priced fresh, classic, yet inventive cuisine. My sister and I stumbled upon Kamana after a day's long hangover refused to subside. We ordered pick-up - Chicken Korma (our Indian staple), Gobi Manchurian (Cauliflower), Chicken Malai Kabab (accidentally due to my mispronunciation of another Chicken Kabab on the menu) and garlic Naan (duh). Upon entering Kamana, we were pleasantly surprised with how bright, clean, and bustling the atmosphere was. The man who brought out our food was incredibly friendly and complementary, and we realized quickly that Kamana is BYOB (probably without the ridiculous per person corking fee of the Guilford Bistro). Anyway, as we dove into our food at home alongside a bright and fruity rose, we were delighted. The korma was saucy, flavorful, and just spicy enough, while the Cauliflower was zesty and just a little greasy, but in a good way. The malai kabab was fresh and extremely well seasoned, while the naan fell a little flat (literally). Overall, this is super Indian food for this little shoreline suburban town. Thanks, Kamana, for bringing a little light - and spice - back to the Guilford dining scene. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants on the Shoreline -- absolutely delicious Indian food, wonderfully kind and attentive staff, a peaceful and lovely atmosphere. I'm so impressed with Kamana's nimbleness too, during this pandemic -- with a beautiful outdoor space, for warmer days, and excellent takeout service. The Samosa Chaat is fantastic, as are the Malai Kofta, the kamana kebab, chicken or veggie momo, Shrimp Tikka Masala, and much more. You will love this place. read more

I really wanted to give this 5 stars as I love Indian food. But I took off one star becuase they are so very disorganized. I went there a week after they opened and their "20 minute wait" ended up being more like a 90 minute wait. I believe they were not prepared for such a big turnout and so what could have been an easy dining experience was instead a disorganized mess. The other star taken was for food. I order the same meal at every Indian place I go to, and although theirs was good, it is the only restaurant where the food repeated on me. It made me lightheaded and queezy. I don't think I'll be back soon. read more

I had curry lamb and my wife had lemon chicken. The Indian food was very good but I think there are other good Indian restaurants locally.

Wonderful selection, excellent execution. Got that craving for delicious Indian cuisine? Seek Kamana and you shall find a fabulous dining experience. read more

I want to give this a five star, and perhaps on subsequent visits I shall, but they have a few bugs to work out which I'm sure are part of the fact that they just opened... first off, the interior is adorable! The chairs were imported from India and they add a good deal of atmosphere... the staff is friendly, and the food is AMAZING! My mother is not an adventurous eater, I brought her with me and it gave me a bit of trepidation... she LOVED it! The flat bread was a nice lite start, we had the chicken appetizer kebab which is expertly seasoned and served on a sizzling plate. We had the Tikka Masala and the Butter chicken, both were absolutely perfect. We also had the Garlic Naan which was incredible too! Where they fall short is timing it so your appetizer does not arrive 20 seconds before the entrees, they don't pay attention to refilling the water, and they completely forgot my beverage. It would also be nice if the entrees included soup or salad, maybe even something simple like a cucumber salad...? These glitches aside, everything went smoothly! I will absolutely return very soon! read more

We visited this restaurant for the first time on a Tuesday night in May several weeks after opening. We were hopeful that a new Indian restaurant on the shoreline would be a winner and looked forward to the experience. We LOVE Indian food and have eaten it all over the U.S. and internationally including in India! Upon entering we saw a lovely and colorful dining room that was most inviting. We were seated immediately by smiling staff and given menus, water and condiments. Having reviewed the menu online prior to arriving, we knew what we would order so we ordered an appetizer Samosa Chat ($7.95), Tandoori Mixed Grill ($23) and Chicken Tikka Masala ($15). The appetizer Chat was the most successful item we tried but this is not saying much since the rest of the meal went downhill from there. The portion was a good size but it lacked a punch. The mixed grill at $23 was uninspiring... and downright "ordinary". We have eaten this in other Indian restaurants in CT and this one was way below the quality expected at this price. The Chicken Tikka Masala included overcooked dry chicken and the sauce tasted like it came out of a can... very disappointing. Finally, we had ordered Aloo paratha (4.95) and raita (3.95). The allo paratha was abundant with many pieces however it was downright tasteless and the raita was fine but for $4.00 it was a tiny cup that was way overpriced. The service was good in that many servers seemed to be constantly hovering to see what we needed and to ask about our experience... however, my husband decided to pack up half the Tandoori Grill meat that was left over and they gave us the rice and the yucky bread but FORGOT to put the meat into the bag! Geez.... this was the nail in the coffin for us.... Save your money and seek out another Indian establishment in New Haven or Branford or West Hartford for a much more enjoyable culinary experience. read more

You know when food is so good that you keep eating after you're full, then the leftovers haunt you a 5 in the morning, and you wonder if it's weird to have malai kofta for breakfast? Kamana is that good. Exquisitely seasoned - so delicious! The staff is very pleasant and the restaurant is clean and nicely-decorated. Great addition to Guilford. read more

Stopped in to Kamana this evening. WONDERFUL meal--again. Can't drive on I95 without detouring and going there. Never disappointed. Always fresh and delicious. read more

This was our first visit and it was a delight. We at too much! Cheerful, warm, lively atmosphere with attentive staff. The food is excellent and authentic - much better than at most Indian restaurants. Spices are fresh and the food here is interesting. You get the sense that the waiters have a real sense of pride about the food they serve. Prices are very fair. If you want beer or wine, bring our own. Kamana doesn't have a liquor license yet. read more

Tonight's dinner was wonderful and they did a great job helping us feel safe with social distancing. Very clean, safe, friendly and yummy!

Good Indian food and nice ambience. Very accommodative even during odd hours. We were late couple of times in evening and staff was very active in serving our orders read more

First time trying Kamana. Experience was fantastic. I have only experienced the Fairfield county Indian restaurants (Bangalore when it was open, coromandel, Mumbai times, the naan, saffron) and this is right up there with them. Chicken tikka masala was delicious and you could taste the chicken was cooked in the clay pots. Veg pakora and papri chat were very filling. Lunch portions were huge. Don't usually have leftovers but we did today. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for Indian food. read more

We decided to try this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. Unfortunately our meal was mediocre at best. We started with the gobi manchurian. It was very tasty. If this was any indication of the rest of the meal then we were in good shape. Then the meal arrived. I ordered the chicken hajari kebab. It consisted of pieces of a tandoori like chicken on a bed of cabbage and carrots. It was a bit overcooked and dry. My husband had lamb palak. He said it was just ok. I ordered 2 naans- kashmiri and kheema. Both Naan were dry and crusty on one side. I thought they were left on the side of the oven too long. The lamb Naan had a slice of minced naan in the middle. Both Naans were disappointing. We will not be returning to this restaurant. We have had tastier Indian meals at other restaurants. read more

Never ordered anything here that wasn't fabulous. Atmosphere is very nice with nice Indian touches. Staff is friendly and attentive.

Delicious experience. My fiance and I visited Kamana for his birthday as a change from our typical takeout from here. All of the folks working at Kamana provided wonderful, personalized service. They even gave my fiance a complimentary piece of cake and sang to him - how thoughtful! We shared Chicken Tikka Masala, Kamana Wings, Garlic Naan, and Lamb Korma. The Korma had a decadent nuttiness that we kept dipping the naan in. The naan - perfectly tender and buttery (so good). The Tikka Masala was out of this world - perfect to warm your bones after a cold or dreary day. The wings were so flavorful and smoky (I think they were tandoori). The service is as good as the food, and the food is so good. Try it for yourself. read more

Great expansive menu, and the quality is excellent. Have now been a couple of times, and we will continue. The menu is classic with nice fusion touches in some dishes. read more

We just had a terrific family dinner here, with 10 guests, including 4 children (and two of those are toddlers). The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Two people in our party have garlic allergy; the chef prepared a special menu for them. Everything was delicious, especially the lamb (mutter) and the chana masala. And the bill was very reasonable. This will be a regular destination for our family gatherings. Thank you! read more

The food was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful. They explained the menu thoroughly. Staff was also attentive. The owner was present in the dining area and was just as helpful as the staff. We had a great first time experience and will make this a regular dinner spot. It's an excellent that wii great prices and the best service! read more

This place is the best. The staff is so incredibly welcoming and the food is excellent. I have been a huge fan of Indian food for a long time, but the service and food here are among the best that I have had. Very reasonably priced as well. (the Saag panir is 11/10!) read more

This is a great addition to the shoreline dining scene. The food is excellent. The lunch specials are a great deal and plenty of food. Everything I've had was top notch and the service is always good as well. read more

Always a great meal. The staff is very attentive. Went in one time, feeling under the weather with sore throat/allergies, they provided tea and spiced my meal appropriately to help with the soreness. The chicken korma is a family favorite, so good. Their chilly chicken and kashmiri naan are fantastic. The meat thali is awesome with the lam samosa, curry and the dessert. I don't know what the included dessert was, but it was great. Wish I had more time to go for a sit down, usually doing takeout. read more

I really hope this place does well because the people who own it and work there couldn't be nicer. The food was absolutely delicious and held up well even though we did take-out. The chicken tikka masala was creamy and savory, the paneer in the saag paneer was so tasty, the naan was fluffy (and huge), and the samosas were amazing. The decor inside is beautiful and everyone is really friendly. They don't have a buffet, but that's the only thing Darbar has on them. I'd rather order just one thing and have it be amazing than have a whole buffet of mediocre food. Wishing them a lot of luck! read more

We went to celebrate my son in law's birthday. The food was good, but the service needs a lot of work. I would wait a few months until they get their act together. read more

Without question, the finest Indian food I've ever found in CT. Extremely clean environment, and gracious staff. Please folks support this restaurant as it is a real gem. read more

Great food and friendly service! Huge lunch portions for the price you pay. I would recommend mango chicken or lamb korma. A great experience if you're looking for something a little different. read more
