REVIEW: I stopped by Khana yesterday around 3 PM and had a pretty good experience. Since they had only recently opened, I went in with realistic expectations and figured there might still be a few things they were working through. Instead, they exceeded my expectations in almost every way. I want to preface this review by saying that I'm not a food critic by any means - just someone who enjoys good food and a good dining experience. With that being said, I genuinely had zero complaints about the food we received. Everything was fresh, hot, flavorful, and served in generous portions.
FOOD ORDERED: (10/10) Lamb kabob, beef seekh kabob, chicken karhai, butter naan, garlic naan, mango lassi, and a side of channa.
The serving sizes were abundant, and every dish arrived fresh and hot. The lamb kabob was tender, the seekh kabob was juicy packed with flavor (and I don't typically order kabob because I find it dry), and the chicken karhai was excellent. The naan was fresh out of the oven, and the mango lassi was the perfect complement to the meal. There wasn't a single item on the table that disappointed us.
WAIT TIME: (-/10) We visited around 3 PM, so it was a quieter time of day. Our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and everything came out fresh and hot. Considering they are still newly opened, I can't give a realistic rating of wait time - I'll have to wait until I go during a busier time of day. I can say that I noticed the kitchen appeared to be running very smoothly and was able to accommodate the dine in and walk in orders pretty quickly.
SERVICE: (10/10) The service was excellent. What impressed me most was how receptive the team was to feedback. In fact, they actively went out of their way to ask for criticism and suggestions rather than simply accepting compliments. That level of openness is rare and shows that they genuinely care about improving and creating the best experience possible for their customers. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and welcoming.
CLEANLINESS: (10/10) The restaurant was clean, organized, and well-maintained. Everything looked polished and cared for, which added to the overall experience.
ATMOSPHERE: (10/10) The atmosphere deserves special recognition. You can tell a lot of effort went into making the restaurant look modern, sleek, and inviting. It doesn't feel like a typical Indian or Pakistani restaurant. The design feels fresh, contemporary, and well adapted to modern tastes while still maintaining its cultural identity. Every detail seems thoughtfully considered, and it creates a dining experience that feels elevated without being pretentious. It's refreshing to see a restaurant in this space take such a modern approach, and you can tell a lot of thought went into creating an environment where people genuinely enjoy spending time.
PARKING: (10/10) Parking was easy and convenient, with plenty of available spaces when we visited.
OVERALL VISIT: (5/5) Khana absolutely surpassed my expectations. While I was prepared to overlook a few minor issues given that they had just opened, there honestly wasn't much to critique. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, the service was welcoming, and the atmosphere was thoughtfully designed. Most importantly, their willingness to seek out constructive feedback shows a commitment to getting even better. I left impressed, full, and already looking forward to my next visit. I would definitely return and would highly recommend giving Khana a try. read more
