Kanak Indian Kitchen - Charlottesville

Welcoming environment and staff, great ambiance, very good tasty food! We ordered Shahi paneer, garlic naan, chicken Katti roll, paneer Katti roll, and Imli Tango. It was superb. The restrooms are decent.ample parking space. During our visit, there was a thunderstorm and the power switched very swiftly without notice. Tips: Pre-ordering/pre-booking helps.

The food is excellent. The service is lovely. Indoor and outdoor dining options. Great menu for lunch and dinner. If you like Indian cuisine, you must go!

So thrilled to have Kanak in Charlottesville! My husband and I are huge Indian food fans and Kanak has really set the bar high! Every element of everything we have ordered has been consistent perfection. Spices are beautifully balanced, textures are unmatched, and the amount of food served is just right. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable about their menu, always willing to give recommendations, and are attentive throughout every sitting. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Great to see so many people eating there at lunch on a Monday. If we could eat here every night we absolutely would! Can’t recommend Kanak cville enough!Vegetarian options: The best place to eat if you are vegetarian! So many options, but the eggplant and okra curries are my favorites!Parking: In the 5th street station parking lot so there is plenty of parking very close.

Definitely recommend next time you’re looking for Indian food in Charlottesville! We loved the mocktails (Imli Tango especially) and their portion sizes were huge for lunchtime. Giving 4 stars because a bit too much oil for my taste, but definitely super delicious.Here’s pictures of Lunch Bhindi Masala and Lunch Saag Paneer.

Lunch today. Ordered Alo gobi, baigan Bahar, bindi Masala..all spice level three. Was an excellent meal. Entrees came with salad and plenty of naan and rice. Flavor profile on all three entrees was excellent. I especially loved the spice level in the bindi Masala. Service was efficient and polite. Overall a delicious lunch and excellent experience. Will return soon.Returned this Sunday for lunch and was again extremely pleased with the delicious entrees I ordered and the excellent service. For lunch I ordered a mixed vegetable dish and and a bindi Masala with ginger and paneer. Awesome tastes and spice level.
