Kanak Indian Kitchen

Stop reading this review now and get to Kanak Indian Kitchen. Everything about this restaurant is spectacular— food, atmosphere, service, drinks. They have an awesome gluten free naan and clear specifications for GF. The rice, the mango chutney, the sauces… I mean, wow. I’m actually sitting in the restaurant now for lunch writing this review because it couldn’t wait. I got an Anjali’s Elixir which was an out-of-this-world, write-home flavor experience. Go, go now!!! I can’t wait to be hungry again so I may come back.

While the food was good the staff just wasn't on it the night we were in. As a parent of two kids they broke the number one rule; they forgot to put the kids meal in. This error resulted in the adult food coming out and nothing for the kids. The next time we server came around she asked if we had everything and I mentioned the kids meal and she just said oh I'll go check on that. She apologized shortly after and said "the kitchen is working on that now, 3-5 minutes." Needless to say the food came out over ten minutes later while our kids watched us eat food which was too spicy for them to even consider. Once their plate came out of course it was so hot the kids couldn't eat anything for another 5+ minutes To add insult to injury, as we are preparing to asking for boxes for leftovers they bring us an "I'm sorry" tapioca pudding stating it was on the house. This was the wrong thing, we didn't need more food. The kids meal should have been free if anything. I hope the management is paying attention to this and changes the approach in these situations. We spent $100 on dinner for two adults and two kids and they just couldn't get it right. Also, there was something we noticed on the menu that was labeled as gluten free but clearly stated it had semolina in it. Not sure if they meant semolina flour or something else but this gave us some concern.

I am only giving it 4 stars because I didn't care for what I ordered very much, but I didn't know what to order and may have ordered wrong. I liked the crunchy complimentary appetizers. The gluten free naan was good. They definitely had good service and atmosphere. They place was nice and clean.
