Very surprising to find this quality Indian foods. Tandoori chicken and shrimp curry were amazing. Naan was sooo good. Open on Thanksgiving. Highly recommended
We visited this Indian restaurant on Easter Sunday. Matrika and his team looked after us very well.
Based on previous reviews we orders veg and non-veg Thali s.
Good taste and great portions. It was more than enough for 3 people.
They have branches on other islands also.
Kamana is always my fav place to go! I love everything, the lamb is always perfect. The naan is bomb, I get both kinds. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, they’re so kind to my family. I added photos after I ate, it was just too good to not share a review!! Thanks for always being delicious and having the best service! Matrika and chakra are the best!
Very tasty food. I would recommend everyone to try once. I ordered medium spicy malai kofta and Dal fry. Dal fry was little extra spicy but overall good taste. Food served in like no time.
Delicious and truly royal platter. We had been to the Kamana Kitchen on the West side of the island before visiting here and our expectations were met again. We ordered the Vegetarian Thali Royal Platter which starts with one samosa and 2 onion pakora with spicy sauce and sweet sauce. The main meal includes Naan, Papad, Aloo Mattar, Palak Paneer, Dal, Rice, a lot of pickle and yummy kheer. We were very satisfied with the meal and 2 platters were sufficient for 4 people. Highly recommend.
I didn’t know this is the original restaurant for the one on Oahu, and it was the same if not better. I went around 6pm and it was empty but was full by 7pm. The restaurant is not where the sign is-it’s towards the back of the hallway(on the right). And you know the food must be good if there were many Indians coming in to eat too.
The food was amazing. I didn't even think I liked Indian cuisine. I loved it. Service was friendly and great. Atmosphere could use some atmosphere but I went for the food not the beauty of the tables.
Sudden urge of eating Indian food was fulfilled at Kamana Kitchen in Hilo, Big Island. Kamana has other locations in Honolulu, Oahu and Kihei, Maui but we were fortunate to have an opportunity to eat Indian food from a place that is far far away from mainland, considering limitations on ingredients and spices, this place ensured our taste buds would be satisfied. We absolutely loved staff’s kind attitude and joyful gestures, their service is quick and ambiance settles in with you quicker than food goes into your stomach. As a vegetarian, this place became one of my favorite to go for lunch and dinner (even though I am in Hawaii for short term). I ordered Daal Tarka (Yellow Daal Soup) with rice and samosas. My husband ordered Chicken Biriyani, he was enthused and very content. We don’t have enough words to say about this place but if you do have sudden craving for Indian food or if you are vegetarian - it’s a must try place.
It was a surprise to find a Indian restaurant in Big Island, Hawaii. The food was nice. Staff was courteous. Will recommend for Indian food.
One of the best restaurants in Hawaii and probably the best restaurant in Hilo. Friendly service and great food. The location is in the back of some shopping center but the food quality is incredible. If you like Indian food at all you'll absolutely fall in love with this place. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with the highest spiciness and it burned like crazy but tasted great. The Chicken Biriyani was also delicious. If you're worried about spice you can order everything mild, but if you enjoy the heat it won't disappoint like some other places will. This place is a MUST if you're visiting Hilo.
Update: I've still been coming here and I'm convinced this is the best restaurant in Hilo, consistently great quality food and service.
My go-to Indian place in Hilo! I usually get their chicken curry, but the vegan Chana masala and the pakoras are delicious too, and my friends speak highly of the garlic naan and the mushroom matar! Excellent spice blends, great flavor, and reasonable prices. I usually get takeout but it’s nice to dine in and watch the music videos they have on, too!
TRULY EXCELLENT!!! Intoxicatingly delicious!🤤🫠 I was married to an Indian man, I’ve had allot of Indian food and I REALLY love good Indian food so when my Indian Aunty Sudha told me this place was really good, I couldn’t wait to try it and man was she right! Don’t miss out, get there a little early. We got there at about 6:30pm on a Friday and sat right now but it began to fill up after that. Thanks guys, you’re the best! Chicen Korma, Chicken Biryani, raita & pickle yum yum yum!
Food is great, and it's always good to come back and have some serious spicy food. Chakra is the host who makes you feel comfortable and have your food as if at your own place. No complains, just joy and belly full! 😉
Great staff and amazing food! I eat here whenever I can and I highly recommend you try if looking for great Indian food in Hilo. Meat somosa, garlic nann, any curry, Tikka masala, any vindaloo, tandoori chicken and many more all highly recommended. Can be busy at peak times but what great restaurants aren't? Many items are made to order which is what makes the food here great. If you're impatient at rush hour times go to McDonald's or taco bell, but if you're looking for great Indian food, nice staff, and a place to dine in with family and friends, give Kamana Kitchen a try. You won't be disappointed!
