Kohinoor Indian And Lounge - Champaign

This establishment is one of the best i have been to in awhile. I love the atmosphere and the food is great. Anyone wanting to experience some authentic food with a laid back and warm atmosphere should visit

Slow service, unorganized never checked on the table. Set down at 7 got food at 8:30.....what the heck..... they messed up with our order and owner's admitted. Not too authentic and mild flavors and not too spicy either. Absolutely terrible services in theindustry.

My contact with Indian cuisine was Curry and made home chicken malas all once and for a while. This restaurant has changed my perception of Indian! I loved the spice combinations and appetizers with the tamarind and the garlic and pepper sauces! The best place in the Indian around Champaign!

The staff was incredibly welcoming. The restaurant is spacious, yet it still feels intimate. There were several large tables of guests, but even with the bustling crowd, it wasn’t overly loud. This place is perfect for a date night—and it’s clean! Each time I’ve ordered, I’ve tried something different. I’m still getting the hang of Indian cuisine, figuring out what I do and don’t like, but so far, everything I’ve tried has been fantastic. Our waitress was excellent in guiding us through the menu and made suggestions based on our preferences. This personal touch was something I really missed when ordering online. She did a great job, and tonight’s meal was the best I’ve had from them. Every staff member, from the person who brought our food to the one who served us water, was friendly and welcoming, and everyone had a smile. As we were leaving, we took a peek into the bar/lounge area, which was lovely—a quiet, comfortable space even with a sizable gathering inside. The host thanked my wife on our way out and invited us to come back soon, to which she replied, “Oh, we will!” I wholeheartedly agree!

The mountain chicken was excellent, and all the sauces at the table were flavorful. I would rate the service a solid 4.5. The rice and cheese naan were both outstanding, deserving a perfect score of 5. This restaurant never disappoints! All four appetizers we tried were amazing as well, so I’d give those a 4.1. The atmosphere could use some improvement, so I would rate it a 3.8. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!
