Reviews for Kohinoor Indian Restaurant and Lounge in Champaign, IL

I ordered from them the first time through Grubhub. I couldn't decide what to have and they were the highest recommended place... so I decided to try it even though I know nothing about Indian food. I LOVED IT!!! I couldn't stop thinking about it. My wifecame back from vacation four days later, and I ordered it in for us to show her. I've now had their food on 4 occasions buttonight was our first time going to the restaurant. WOW were we missing out! The smells on arrival were intoxicating! I washardly hungry when we arrived for an early dinner, but by the time we ordered I was starving. The staff was incrediblyinviting. While the restaurant isn't small it still feels quite intimate. There were a few large tables of people and even withall the people inside, it wasn't horribly loud. This place is fantastic for date night! And clean! Each time I've ordered Ihave tried something completely different. Again I know next to nothing about Indian cuisine, so I'm trying to learn what Ilike and don't.... the issue is I haven't had anything from them that wasn't fantastic.The waitress we had was fantastic atguiding us through the menu and made recommendations based on our comments. This is the part that I was missing the most fromtrying to order on my own online. She did a great job of helping us because tonight's meal was the best I've had from them. Allof their staff from the gentleman who brought out the food, to the girl serving water, were all incredibly nice and welcoming. All smiles here. On our way out we each peeked into the bar/ lounge area and it was very nice, a real quiet comfortable placeeven with a fairly large gathering inside. Tonight's host said to my wife on the way out "Thank you and come back soon" towhich my wife replied "oh we will" and I fully agree! Read more

Came for lunch and we had a wonderful time. I had a spicy lamb dish (don’t remember the name, similar to curry) and my wife... had a lunch set. The fried chicken we got for our toddler was very tasty as well. Read more

We came here for the second time, the food is really tasty. The portion size is more than enough for an average person. Sizzlers... are a must try here. We’re going to come back for sure for the sumptuous food. Read more
