Had a really great experience at Kohinoor Indian Restaurant. The food was full of flavour and tasted very fresh. The butter chicken and kadhi paneer was rich and creamy, and the naan bread was soft and perfectly cooked as well as the roti’s and rice was nice and fluffy. You can really tell they use good spices and proper traditional recipes.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. The portions were generous and good value for money as well.
Definitely one of the better Indian spots around – I’ll be back again soon!

Tasty foodFriendly staffAtmosphere
A reliable haven for authentic Indian cuisine, offering vibrant flavors at excellent value. The warm, laid-back atmosphere paired with attentive and friendly service makes every visit memorable. A dining experience well worth your time and money — highly recommended.
We stopped by Kohinoor on Easter Sunday for lunch. The place was empty with just 1 table occupied. The waiter seated us promptly and served us pappad and chutneys. Soon they got us some complimentary chickenkolivada and chips. We placed order for both chicken biryani and mutton biryani. It was hot, spicy and full of flavour and freshly made steaming hot. We were very happy to have found a beautiful restaurant with lovely decor and music all screaming love for India. 3 biryanis costed up to 60 euros which was value for money considering the ambience , service and fresh flavoursome food. Good place to stop by of you craving for Indian cuisine in Port Loise.
