Food (5/5): Good food that hit the spot. Initially my big American tummy thought the portions looked small but I felt they were the perfect size. Service (5/5): The place was not very busy and when we went for dinner and the service was friendly and prompt. Ambiance (5/5): They had very lovely piano music playing the whole time at a nice volume for conversation. I was very happy about that. read more

Kanan Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Go here for well-seasoned meals and genuinely kind service. Friends and I have eaten vegan meals here about 2 years, and the food has been consistently good. The young woman who serves us is a real sweetheart--authentically caring and humble. The fresh meals outshine the small unpretentious space that isn't out of character for 3 Ave. Customers and deliverers stream in and out picking up orders--a strong sign of the meal quality. The heat was substantial, and the dining area stayed warm last weekend (January) when it was freezing outside, despite the frequent door opening. They don't serve brown rice, but do have plenty of vegan dishes for health conscious diners. read more

One dinner we were craving Indian food and Kanan was one of the choices around Park Slope. So our order thru DoorDash was following- appetizers Aloo Papri (deep fried dough chips served with tangy mix of potatoes, chickpeas and yogurt) this was a new item to me , also vegetable samosa (peas and potatoes) too spicy for my taste. For the main dish we ordered Chicken Tikka Masala- was good and Chicken Makhani (also known as Butter Chicken) the chicken was very dry. Well, maybe with Namaste Indian on 5th Ave ,Kanan are the only choices around Park Slope. read more

Great food and hospitality. Also very flexible on "I would like it this way" options. Loved it! Highly recommended! read more

Kanan Indian Restaurant - Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Tikka Masala, Butter naan, Mango Lassi - good heavens!!! - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Haven't been to Kanan for a while because our last meal was not very good. Well they outdid themselves tonight. The butter chicken came in a redish-orange gravy that had no taste of Indian spices and was very watery. The saag paneer was very watery and again had essentially no Indian flavor. The naan was passable. After trying a couple of very small plates of food the rest was thrown out, awful. Forty plus dollars thrown into the trash. read more

Food: Went to visit friends in Brooklyn and we stopped in and had lunch at Kanan Indian Restaurant. We came with a large party so we ordered a lot of food to share. This was some of my favorite Indian food I've ever had. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Biryani, Vegetable Biryani, and the Naan platter. The naan was seasoned with garlic and it was so filling. The sauces provided as well were all delicious and had a variety of favor. The chicken tikka masala was rich and so smooth. I was highly satisfied with my meal at Kanan! Service: The service at Kanan was exceptional. The women that served us were so kind and gave great recommendations. There were six of us, however, the food came out in a timely manner. our table was checked on frequently. Overall we had a great experience! Other: I believe that this restaurant is more often take out only. We were not aware of this when we walked in. However the staff quickly sat us and did not seem to mind us eating in the restaurant. read more

My local go to spot for Indian take out, get their kanan special! You can customize spice level and the flavors are always on point! ask for extra chutneys! read more

Kanan Indian Restaurant never fails to deliver the freshest, savory and flavorful dishes. I had ordered catered vegetarian food from them prior for our party a year ago and had done the same this time for our recent gathering. Everyone was delighted and satisfied. Ms Suchi (owner) is such a generous, kind and lovely person. She always helps me order dishes that everyone would truly enjoy. Our party platters were wonderfully prepared and packed well. Thank you again for the delicious food and on time delivery. Highly recommended. read more

Passed by this indian restaurant and decided to try it on a whim after an appointment. I was going to have chipotle but felt lazy and I'm glad I dropped in. The staff seem to be spread apart and wearing masks which is a must now a days. People are friendly here and make you feel welcome and will help you choose if you're unsure about something on the menu. So, just ask! I ordered their value special ($15.99+tax). This comes with an appetizer, a entreé of your choice, plain naan, and 2 chutneys, and rice. I had the chicken samosa and chicken vindaloo. You can adjust the spice level so let them know if you like it mild or burn yo ass off hot. Everything was fairly good. No complaints. Vindaloo had the spice i wanted (chose medium). I'll definitely drop by again if I'm in the area. FYI- credit cards are accepted read more

Easily the best Indian that delivers in the area. Consistently great, but enough subtle variety to know that someone's actually cooking it from scratch. I've only ever gotten delivery, so I can't speak to the dining experience. read more

Got take-out from Kanan Indian Restaurant on Friday afternoon. There were some service issues, but once I sat down with my food I was very happy. Quality: I was immediately drawn to the Kanan Take Out Special, which comes with an appetizer, entree, rice, and naan. I ordered the Vegetable Samosas, and after taking a few bites of the Chicken Samosas, Vegetable was the way to go. My entree was the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was very solid. Loved both the flavor and heat on the dish. While I wish they allowed an up-charge for flavored Naan, the regular version was still tasty. Quantity: The Kanan Take Out Special was more than a meal. Value: $18 for the Kanan Take Out Special. Ambiance: Kanan Indian Restaurant has a very odd location in Gowanus. Nestled in an area filled with warehouses and garages, you will find this Indian spot. They have it set up as a sit down restaurant with about six tables and decor on the wall, but I would stick with take-out. It was hot inside and they had a strange soundtrack playing. Crowd: A few people waiting for takeout orders. Service: The owners had car issues, which caused delays and issues with my order. They were very kind to apologize and I would assume it was unusual. Parking: Plenty of spots on the side roads. read more

Honestly, quite disappointed in their delivery. Used seamless, delivery was late. Ordered raita, chicken vindaloo, mango lassi. Vindaloo was very mild in heat, I had requested the spiciest that they could make it, and it didn't deliver. Mango lassi tasted really sour. Not the typical creamy, yogurty lassi that I'm familiar with. Raita was insanely sweet, it tasted like they used a vanilla yogurt. Will not order again. read more

This is my go-to takeout spot for Indian! It's a little further from me than other restaurants, but I always regret not ordering from Kanan if I choose a closer option. I usually order the take out special, which has an appetizer, entree, and naan. The chicken tikka masala is the perfect combo of tomato, cream and spices. The aloo papri is great, love the flavors! And the naan is always good, I do wish they had an option to upgrade to a flavored option. The mango lassi is also delicious. The food usually arrives on time or early and is always piping hot. Definitely recommend! read more

Samosas were yummy, naan was good but the butter chicken was horrific. Dry, thin strips of chicken that tasted funky. Couldn't eat it. The sauce was so lackluster it almost put me to sleep. Maybe I'll give them another shot and try a different dish. I don't know read more

An Indian spot that delivers to my office! Joy! Gave them their first try today, had the delivery special:1 app,1 entree,rice,bread and sauce for 14.95. Not a bad deal. Got the Chicken Samosas for my app. I am a big Samosas fan and this didnt let me down,sometimes Chicken Samosas can be dry but these were juicy and flavorful inside with that nice,crunch exterior. For main I got the old stand by Chicken Tikka Masala, it was a good version with large chunks of chicken in an aromatic sauce. A few coworkers went out in a Harold and Kumar quest for White Castle and upon returning were hovering around me like flies on a sweet roll. The rice was decent long grain, the naan bread was charred and chewy (both good things in naan bread). Very welcome addition to our Delivery.com lineup. read more

Kanan Indian Restaurant - Chicken Tikka Masala,Samosas,Naan Bread. - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Humble in decor, but do not be deceived: this warm & friendly family-run business has a wide-ranging menu, & serves some of the best, most authentic Indian cuisine in NYC. Each dish is totally distinct & loaded with flavor - I have yet to be disappointed by each new dish I try. Restaurants have been one of the businesses hardest hit by covid, yet it is clear they refuse to cut corners or short-change their clientele - they don't stint one bit on their use of spices. This generous approach makes them unequalled in the curry restaurant trade today in my opinion. read more

The vindaloo is hit or miss for spice, it's not a knock. Gotta sit and eat for the last star but this spot slaps. It's hidden in the border of gowanus and park slope. Your food is delicious period. read more

As i was waiting for a oil change, I thought I would try this place out. It had good reviews on Yelp so I thought why not. Big mistake. The inside of the restaurant had an odd chemical smell and the food was even worse. I had Paneer Tikka Masala and it was clearly unfrozen paneer (not homemade) in a thin red gravy that just tasted like watery garam masala. The naan was rubbery and stale. If people out there think this is what passes for good Indian food, you need to hit up Jackson Heights or Lexington avenue and get some actually decent food. I recommend Dhaba, Adda, Jackson Diner, Vatan, Mint Heights, Spice Symphony and many more! read more

Small out of the way place, decent spice in the vindaloo and the butter chicken was tasty!!

Love this place. Great food -- the gobi Manchurian is the best I've had. Super fast service and great deals are offered on takeout and delivery orders. read more

Friendly service, made to order so super fresh, and tastes really authentic! They have many vegetarian options that other Indian restaurants don't have like vindaloo (extremely spicy, beware) and vegetable tikka masala (5 stars). Local delivery and really friendly, this is my go to Indian takeout in Gowanus read more

I pre-order off Grubhub at 11:30ish for a 12:30 delivery time. I checked online and it said the restaurant opens at 12:15. The restaurant accepted our order at 12:10 and it was delivered within the time frame even though we were 1 mile away. Exceptional delivery time considering they cooked 6 orders and delivered within half an hour. The food portions were excellent, the food itself was decent. They did mess up on the spice level for one of the orders but it wasn't that big of a deal. Only complaint was that our mango lassi was spilled because of the cups they were in. It was a bit of a sticky mess but overall, about 90% of the drink survived. read more

Ordered on Seamless. Delivery was timely. That's all I got on positive. The food was awful. The blandest, driest, worst Indian food I may have had ever. Mulligatawny - based any lentil. Tasted like basic vegetable soup salmon appetizer - dry and unseasoned Naan coconut and spinach and cheese - like how do you screw that up? They did. Thick, doughy, flavorless. No discernible coconut or spinach/cheese. I'd show you but I'd have to fish it out the trash. Kulfi - tastes like basic ice cream from the supermarket. When you know kulfi, you know this isn't even remotely close Literally a huge waste of money. So disappointed. Wondering if all these people loving it just have no palate or if some random was cooking tonight. read more

The best chicken tikka masala I've had in Park Slope thus far. The sauce wasn't too thick or too liquidy (my experience in PS). I ordered delivery so I can't speak on behalf of the restaurant read more

They didnt deliver to my neighborhood but I paid the first order. I have not gotten the money back. So sad. This application allows to do that. read more

absolutely love them! love how late they're open and the food is always top notch. Amazing veg samosas!! The food is high quality but doesn't destroy your wallet like some other restaurants these days read more

This is my go-to spot for Indian food! They promptly deliver and the quality of the dishes are outstanding! The dinner special is my favorite--I usually get chicken tikka masala as my entree and they never skimp on the amount of chicken in the flavorful stew. Their samosa and naan are also delicious and freshly made. So glad this place is in the neighborhood. read more

Delicious food and very attentive waitstaff. Really nice place ! Food was delicious!!

This is my favorite Indian food place in the Slope. We ordered multiple times from here and have been to their little restaurant itself. Delivery is lightning fast. Always had our food within 20 min. Never any mess ups in orders, packed great and arrived hot! The restaurant is quiet and super clean. Everything on the menu is delicious. Chicken Sagwala (spinach) and Baigan Bhartha (mashed eggplant) are my absolute favorites! Vegetarian Samosas are out of this world! My latest obsession is Chicken Korma (chicken in cashew cream sauce)! I have been to Junoon and can't say which Chicken Korma was better! We had visitors from Gujarat, and they fully approved this restaurant and food. What else can you ask for? P.S. They are open all the time. During Jonas they were open until 9PM! read more

Two up. One of the best Indian food I had a craving for some delicious Indian food. Food that won't disappoint and have great taste and flavor. So my company give me a heart warming birthday meal. Which I was soo grateful. So what the company ordered the kanan's delivery special which include one appetizer , one entree , rice and plain Naan So let's talk about the appetizer I tried the reshmi Kabab. The chicken is tender. You can cut it with a butter nice. And all the flavors is very tasty. And for the chicken entree I tried thr chicken makhani which was the best I tried. The chicken was very tender. The rice has great flavor, not plain. and the curry was delish. Not extremely spicy it was just right. And have a sweet cinnamon type flavor. The prices are very reasonable also. So here is my verdict. I really like this place. The delivery was very fast, a special shout out to the delivery guy for being nice , courteous and shows a great appreciation for his job. read more

We've been ordering from Kanan for about 6 years. We've tried a couple of other Indian Food restaurants in Park Slope/Gowanus. We still think Kanan is the best. We love their Malai Kofta and Chana Masala. We will keep going back. read more

A chill, small spot. Seems that the owners are having a bit of trouble with fees, as they recently changed their lunch special conditions (now 30% on M-F), as of January 2019. That, however, doesn't change the quality of the food, which is top notch! We had the classic combo -- saag paneer and Chana masala with garlic naan. The two of us ate up ALL the food. Milky taste on the paneer like non other, and cinnamon tendencies in the Chana made me feel all warm inside. The garlic naan was great, somewhere in middle ground on the scale of super chewy to crispy. Medium density as well! Tons of garlic, I loved it. Not bad prices, and I'd come back just to support the owners, really sweet people. read more

The chicken vindaloo was sooooo spicy! I should have read the description better before ordering. I like spicy food, but this was crazy spicy. The sweet sauce offered a little balance. I think it's a tambrin sauce. I also had the Punjabi mushroom which was good, the rice was good the samosas were dry to me. I would try this place again because it was good. I would just ask for medium spice. read more

My fiancé and I were looking for some good, authentic Indian food in Brooklyn as I haven't had any luck finding one. This place is a nice, small family owned restaurant. I was absolutely amazed by the quality of the food. The daughter of the owner of the restaurant served us. She was pleasant and sweet. We ordered the masala chicken for appetizers. It was moist, flamed well seasoned. She explained a cumin paste that paired well with the chicken. It was delicious! For dinner, we ordered buttered chicken, chicken tikka masala, reg and garlic naan. Oh my gosh, the rich flavors just took over!!!!! So tender and flavorful. For dessert I had the Raas malai. It was so rich and creamy. I must say of the years of having Indian food, this raas malai was the best I have ever had! It was homemade. Will make this my date night spot. read more

Worst customer service and delivery ever. I ordered dinner and the delivery person was so reckless that he broke one of the containers and the curry exploded everywhere. I called the restaurant to let them know and they were really rude and basically implied that I was lying. Terrible service for just ok food. Do not order. read more

I had Pakora and Paneer Saagwala. Pakora is OK. Nothing Special. Saagwala was sad. The flavoring was decent but they use frozen spinach instead of fresh spinach as listed on the menu. It's pretty obvious from the texture. It was watery and like a soup. I would eat here if I am really craving for indian food and there is no other option. read more

Ordered Seamless takeout for chicken tikka masala, chicken mukhani, naan & rice pudding. Hard to screw that up (and they didn't). It took a while, but I can't fault them for that because I ordered during the early days of the COVID crisis & the Seamless estimate was 75 minutes. Unfortunately, that was accurate. At least they were open and the food was good! I would use them again for my occasional chicken tikka masala fix!!! read more

I think meh I've had better is accurate, but I'll give them the extra star for arriving hot and quickly. It's fine. It's basic. It wasn't overly oily as some takeout Indian can be. There was nothing special about it. They weren't particularly generous with the proteins in any of the dishes and what they did include was kind of dry. The paneer had an off texture. We won't order again but you could do worse. A bit of a disappointment. read more

Highly recommend!!! If your looking for an authentic Indian meal this is by far the best place in Brooklyn. I fell in love with Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken.) read more
