Venture outside of Waikiki and go here!! I went with 5 people and everyone LOVED their food. The samosas were packed full of flavor, as well as all of our curries. You can bring your own wine for a $10 corking or you can buy there, my friends had beer, I stuck to water because all I wanted to taste is that bomb curry. I had the vegetable curry plate that came with a bit of everything and I highly recommend it if you’re indecisive. Their rice pudding was also surprisingly really good. Street parking but it wasn’t hard to find. We will definitely be back.

Recently we were on vacation to Honolulu and were on search for authentic Indian food. Decided to go to Kamana Kitchen once and then went everyday. Everything was perfect . Food too delicious, menu was elaborate, service meticulous and homely environment. We liked the entire staff, who were always on their toes especially the one girl there. She was too much efficient and provided timely customer service efficiently. Definitely we would visit again there.

Loved the paneer kadhai. Do not chicken tikka. It was very dry but the masala/sauce came with chicken tikka was very yummy.

Quick and delicious Tikka Masala and Lamb curry.
Just a great lunch spot to get your curry fix. Butter Chicken is on the sweeter side. However, Chicken Tikka masala and lamb curry are great alternatives to the go-to Indian dish.
Mango Lassi is delicious. It's a little sweet for my liking, but nothing compared to a milkshake.
Gulab jamun for cheat days only! Highly recommend this traditional Indian desert!

I’ve had Indian food in various parts the UK, Hong Kong and US and THIS place here in Honolulu Hawaii is in the top 2. It’s a little “hole in the wall” place with some charm. It feels family ran and everyone is so nice. We went twice for dinner in our week here and will be adding it to our list of regular spots to hit up every time we visit or when we move back.
Highly recommend the chicken or paneer tikka masala's, the veggie pakora, garlic cheese naan and the rice pudding. 👌🏽💯

It's wonderful to have a downtown place to grab a snack. The staff is welcoming and reaponsive and made the work of taking and order, collecting payment, and presenting the food simple and easy.
The Veg Samosas were warm, light, and flavorful with a little bit of heat. They were not heavy or oily. They also go well with a Masala Chai.

Trust me when I say this is probably one of the best Indian restaurants in Honolulu. I am a big fan of Indian food and I have been to different establishments but none could satisfy me the way Kamana kitchen can, to the point where I became a regular customer and the staff already knows my name and usual order (lamb beriani). The best part about this place is that the lamb is halal, music to the ears of Muslim patrons. The restaurant has been featured on different news and their spice level is on the hotter side so I recommend you to tone down one spice level than you usually would order (I like to order hot spice level but for this place I would just order medium and it would be at the perfect spice level). The mango lasso is rich and decadent, providing the sweet cool sensation that goes well with the spicy food. For dessert you should consider getting their pistachio ice cream, super yummy to tame the spice you just ate from your meal. Seating may be limited because it's a small restaurant so I recommend that you come before or after lunch/dinner rush hours. Parking is also limited.

A must try if you are in Honolulu and want to try some yummy Indian food. We were a party of 6 and made reservations for lunch. We arrived slightly before time and were promptly seated. The servers were attentive and sweet. They interacted with the kids nicely too. Food wise everything was tasty and fresh. Dal fry was super good. And butter chicken too. Naans were fluffy and soft. We landed up getting to go for parents for dinner as well. All in all it’s a great place to eat fresh and tasty Indian food.
PS - Parking is paid and you will have to walk a bit since this is located in the downtown area.
