    Mango Lassi
    James T.

    Service good . The place a bit run down . Order a chicken tikka masala and a Nan bread . Chicken cook well and sauce slightly sweet side with strong tomato flavor . Not a lot spices like what I have somewhere else . Also come with aside rice . Decent portion . Nan bread is perfectly done . Mango lassi decent taste . Overall decent Indian food . I think the grill meat would be good.

    Authentic Indian food. A dear Indian friend invited us to Kamana Kitchen so we could taste what real Indian food is like. He took the tune to explain how to eat it. Each dish was good with unique flavors. I'm am not a gourmet eater but I did enjoy each dish with the naan bread and basmati rice. Limited parking in marked stalls. If you're looking for authentic Indian food, then Kamana kitchen is the place.

    Chicken Kebab

    Finally got to try this place with friends which was good for sharing. Went on Sunday at 5:30 and were impressed at how almost all the tables were full. Service was nice and friendly but poor guys were smashed trying to juggle everyone. We got chili chicken with bell peppers and onions, chicken tikka masala, shrimp biryani, chicken kebab with sauce, and both naan and roti. The dish with the most flavor was the chili chicken which friend said reminded him of a sizzling sechuan platter without the sizzle. Portions are generous so we had a lot of leftovers to take home. I thought the chicken was a little overcooked and cut a bit large for my liking, but flavors were good and even better as leftovers when they had soaked in more. For dessert my friend and I shared a Gajar halwa- cooked carrot pudding which was surprisingly good. We couldn't put our finger on the flavor but good old Google helped us identify it as cardamom. Our other friends had rice pudding which was not bad and homemade pistachio ice cream, which I didn't care for as much, but they liked it.

    Butter naan

    Large portions and delicious food! I ended up coming here twice over the holidays (with two different groups) because everyone's a fan. I've primarily tried their vegetarian and vegan dishes, but everything I had was delicious. Their portions are large, come with rice, and are easily shareable. I've left with leftovers every time. I'll continue to come back here when I'm craving Indian food!

    Dinner in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii... I was hopeful after reading reviews of the parking situation... There are a few free stalls on the Palani Avenue side. However, they were all filled when we got there on a Saturday evening. Luckily, someone was leaving a street stall and we took it! YAY! We entered the spacious restaurant, formerly occupied by Haili's Hawaiian Foods. Bee was our competent, friendly, and helpful server. He knew the menu well and was able to answer every question with humor and wisdom! Thanks for being so entertaining and efficient! One of our table mates ordered lamb kabobs... wow! It was sizzling on a platter and smoking so much that it was taken back to the kitchen for a bit... LOL! I got my favorite Butter Chicken (with rice) and Garlic Naan... delicious!!! I was so full and happy! I wouldn't mind returning!

    Chicken Vindaloo with rice
    Sara L.

    A no frills, always reliable Indian restaurant. Delicious food that is reasonably priced compared to other nearby Indian spots. I like to order the Chicken vindaloo, medium spice, and the vegetable samosa appetizer. The chicken in the vindaloo is tender and soaks up the flavor of all the aromatic spices. Medium spice level is on the milder side, so if you want spice, order it hot. I also really appreciate that the curry orders include rice, spiced with cardamom and clove. Most places require you to order rice on the side. The samosas have a thin flaky wrapping and are not too oily, and they taste even better with the minty sauce it comes with. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The only inconvenience is the parking. There is 1 spot in back, on Winam Ave. that is usually taken, so you may have to find street parking on Kapahulu.

    im going to be honest - im not the most adventurous person when it comes to food. My husband on the other hand is more open with different types of cuisines and he's loved indian food as far as i remember. I've heard good things about Kamana Kitchen and that their original location was downtown. Their new spot opened up in kapahulu - the old hawaiian food restaurant on the corner and next to pizza hut. Parking is available in front of an apartment complex which is SUPER WEIRD because sometimes the people who live in the apartment just hang outside of their doors or lanai and just watch you. Kinda of a bummer for the residents there that probably don't have parking for their unit, but a win for the restaurant owner because parking is pretty rough in Kapahulu. During lunch there is a 15% off promo before 2 pm. I showed them the flyer just in case since someone prior did not get the discount. I ordered - butter chicken, cheese naan, lamb kabobs and veggie samosa. everything was really good! I didn't try the lamb tho! but my husband said he enjoyed everything.

    This branch of the Chinatown Kamana location - the New Kamana Kitchen is wonderful! I have been wanting to bring my kiddos to the original location for a while but parking there is iffy at best. So I was so excited for this location when it opened. I FINALLY got them in and the space is clean and huge in comparison to the other location. It's clean and there's a hand washing sink available too! Now.....the service - outstanding. A nice young man named Sebastian was so engaging with my children (3 - 8 year old boys) that they felt like they made a friend. The owner Raj was kind and spent time talking about the food with my sons. Speaking of the food....the boys say, "5 stars because they were able to make vegetables taste good!" We had the shrimp korma, shrimp palak, mixed grill, aloo gobi, naan, garlic naan, samosas, and cheese naan. It was all amazing. But shockingly to myself and the boys, they all agreed that the shrimp palak was their fave. I love when Indian food can be tasty without being oily. And has so much flavor with or without spice. This is an absolute do again for us. Maybe we will catch you there too!!

    it's NEW to us My friends and I were excited to try New Kamana Kitchen after viewing all the recent reviews on Yelp. NOTES 1. BYOB. The provide glasses and a wine opener if needed. 2. Parking is challenging. There are some stalls (please make sure to parked in the marked stalls), or street parking. 3. The A/C is not too cold, just fyi. FOOD After perusing their menu, we chose to the Meat Samosa to start, and ordered the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Chicken Tandoor as mains. An order of Cheese Naan completed the meal. The samosas were incredibly delicious, a precursor of what was to come out from the kitchen. Firstly, the food was brought out promptly. Almost immediately, our group of 4 commented that the Chicken Tandoori was quite good. Unfortunately, I think I was the lone person that preferred the Chicken Tikka Masala over the Butter Chicken.....though the Butter Chicken was good. Just not as great as the Chicken Tikka. Honourable mention goes to the Cheese Naan! So good! I secretly wanted my own order. SERVICE Very attentive. The staff was very welcoming when we walked in, and just friendly and polite. I appreciated that they didn't rush us out of restaurant when our meal was finished. BOTTOM LINE A satisfactory first visit. I'll be back for the Chicken Tikka Masala. And the Cheese Naan.

    Veggie Pakora (yum)
    Kelly D.

    First off, amazing customer service; I'm not sure who our server was but he had so much pizzazz and spunk! He almost sold me on ordering more food when I already knew what I wanted and that says a lot. My friend and I decided to share their Veggie Pakora, Butter Chicken, and Garlic Naan. Absolutely LOVED the Pakora. I never had it before but it reminded me of a cross between falafels and onion rings. It was a plentiful amount and paired really well with the sauces (not sure what they were but combined was delicious) The food didn't look like much at first but halfway through, we were getting pretty stuffed and I'm glad we didn't order any more because I would have ended up taking a nap there. Would I come back again? Most definitely! But hopefully with a bigger appetite. They have couple stalls on the side (residential area) but there's always street parking as well

    Food was delicious. Sooo flavorful! We got the mixed grill Tandoori, garlic naan, palak paneer, lamb kadhai(mild), and the mixed pakora.

    Ask the Community - New Kamana Kitchen

    Can you bring your own bottle of wine?

    Yes

    Any lunch specials like the downtown location?

    No, the New Kamana Kitchen in Kapahulu does not offer lunch specials served on thalis (metal trays) like its downtown location. This location is more neighborhood-friendly for families or larger groups who are not on a "time crunch."

    I loved this place. We came looking for it and followed the signs for the beach entrance. Don't do…read morethat LOL. It's easier to just enter through the front of the Outrigger Hotel. When you come through the beach, you have the option of dining at the bar, which seems to be a totally different experience. The bar serves burgers and other bar foods, and we wanted something a little less casual. After entering through the bar, we ended up having to go to the desk inside. They added my name and took down my phone number to text when the table is ready. This place is huge. There is indoor seating with lots of grass "skirt" trim around some of the ceiling and bars, and the upholstery of the dining chairs are different colorful aloha prints. On the deck there are think torches and umbrellas and string lights. On the level just a few steps down are more umbrella tables and some musicians playing Hawaiian music. All around are photos of the famous Olympic champion, surgery, and actor Duke Kahanamoku. Much to my surprise, as I was looking around while waiting for a table, a girl asked if I was Denise. They didn't text me; rather, they jot down a brief description so they can just look around and find you. She sat us on the beach deck. Our server was fantastic, so friendly with lots of explanations and recommendations. They use an ordering system and it's fun like a week liked machine. Hubby's beer was delivered to our table before our server even walked away! We both ordered the teriyaki sirloin steak with mashed potatoes. It. Was. Freaking. Delicious. I was full, but couldn't stop eating because it was so good. Dukes is really a place where you know you are in Hawaii--the decor, the food, the music, the friendly service. If you come to Honolulu and don't come to Duke's, you'll be missing out.

    The last time I visited Duke's, it was a pretty chill experience, but now not so much. If you do…read morenot know the backstory of Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, visit their web page or do an AI thing. he lived a very full life. So, Duke's is now located right on the beach inside the Outrigger Hotel. How many of these darn Outrigger's are there in Waikiki? These guys got it down pat. No shoes, no shirt, no worries. At the bar, the service is excellent. Even when they are slammed, you can have a conversation with the barkeeps. Their craft cocktails are on point. A must order is the Duke's Mai Tai, their signature cocktail made with fresh Hawaiian juices & two types of rum. Surprisingly, they offer a breakfast, lunch, and dinner prime rib buffet. We just ordered off the menu. Surprise number two, the food is excellent. We ordered the Duke's Nachos with kalua pork. Our nachos arrived piled high with black beans, jalapeños, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and Colby-Jack cheese, and of course, shredded pork. A local ice-cold draft beer was a perfect accompaniment. They did have live music one early evening, and the place was rockin' You can make a reservation online, and if you want a sit-down experience, make a reservation. We made a reservation for an early lunch, and we were able to easily secure two seats at the bar.

The lobster itself was super fresh and the texture is great. You can taste the freshness from the food and you know that the lobster is not previously frozen. Although the price is close to $80 for one lobster roll, the portion is huge. It can easily feed 2 adults. We enjoyed our experience overall but will opt for the smaller option next time haha

All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun. They have 4 "sizes" that they serve on a toasted brioche bun (~6 inch bun): - The Regular (3.5 oz)**: $36.99 - The Popular (5 oz)**: $49.99 - The Big One (7 oz)**: $62.99 - The Maine Event (1/2 lb (8 oz)): $74.99 **You can also ask for extra 1.5 oz lobster meat to this size for $13.99. You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.

    This was our last night here in Oahu. I wanted to do something special, we had gone twice to Duke's…read morerestaurant and enjoyed it but wanted to do something different. Chat gpt recommended this place and I have to say the AI was right! The place is really fun. You can park downstairs and they valet Park you and they will stamp you for free parking. The atmosphere is a fun vibe. They had live music. It's a indoor outdoor place. One thing to note, they don't serve their lunch menu after 4:00 so we went there expecting burgers and they don't serve them. So we kind of stayed reluctantly. I ended up ordering the guava ribs and my wife got them too. Those had to be the best ribs I think I have ever had! They literally fall off the bone as you're trying to pick up the meat. One of the reasons we wanted to go here was we wanted the options of seafood but one of our adults doesn't like seafood and they said that they had all kinds of stuff, which they do. Our server Maka, was incredible. He brings us out a free appetizer and said that was from the chef. I don't know if it was the chef or him but I was impressed and it was good. It was some kind of little fried dumpling. It was awesome! One of the people in our party had thought he was not going to order something and I gave him one of my ribs and after he tasted it, suddenly he wanted some too. I grabbed Maka and asked him If he could get those ribs fast because the rest of us were already halfway through our meals. He got right on it and had that order in. The ribs came out just in time and everybody was happy. It ended up being one of the nicest meals that we had the whole week. We were here and it was a great way to end our vacation here in Hawaii.

We were dying to go back this trip and sad to say, we left disappointed. The whole vibe changed from a fun Hawaiian restaurant to a yuppie upscale restaurant... however they still have the live music, which was a nice. The atmosphere was nice too. The menu items were minimal and surprising to us, none looked appealing. We did get a couple of appetizers, which were good... and a few samplers from the chef which were the best thing we had. But overall, is was a waste of money - and a lot of it!- I will share a positive though, the crème brûlée served in the bottom of a pineapple was delicious! It had a tangy, sweetness of pineapple that was delicious, as well as beautiful! Overall, not the same Tiki's. We did eat at food trucks and little hole in the wall places that had food that was better. Skip the bougie restaurants and go straight to the food trucks and little restaurants. Tip: ask the locals were the good food is. They will tell you it is for sure not at restaurants like these.... We asked.
