Ive had multiple friends tell me to try this restaurant and my husband and I finally made it there. We came in on a Monday night and it was pretty busy but we didn’t wait long for a table. I do not eat Indian food regularly but my husband loves it so we decided to give it a try. I had Butter Paneer, Basmati rice and Basil Naan. Everything was delicious and our service was wonderful. The waitress working was serving all the tables and taking care of the Togo orders. I would highly recommend this gem in Benicia. I can’t wait to go back !

By far the best Indian cuisine in Benicia! Friendly waitstaff, inviting atmosphere, and delicious food.

Nice music and decor. Delicious food. Fun naan options. Difficult to find with a small dark sign. Close to Rainbow frozen treat place.
We have had KOHINOOR twice when visiting our kids in Benecia and it was excellent both times. We ate in, on our first visit, and had carryout on our second visit. The food was excellent regardless of where we ate it. The flavors are incredibly good and the service is outstanding.
#1 — The food here is INCREDIBLE! But #2 — can we talk about the service?!
My husband and I got off work late, and on Mondays it feels like everything in Benicia shuts down early. After 9+ hours of work, we were exhausted, starving, and definitely did not have it in us to go home and cook.
We walked in not realizing they were literally FIVE MINUTES from closing. Instead of turning us away, they welcomed us in, sat us down, served us an amazing meal, and even let us order some extra food to take home.
They told us they had been in our situation before and completely understood, and the chef was more than happy to accommodate us.
THAT is hospitality.
The food was absolutely delicious, but the kindness, understanding, and genuine care from the staff made the experience even better. They easily could have told us the kitchen was closed—and we would have completely understood—but instead, they went out of their way to take care of us.
If you’re looking for incredible Indian food AND the kind of service that makes you want to come back and support a local business again and again, this is the place.
10/10 would recommend. We will absolutely be back!
