by tommaddox about Kohinoor Indian & Pakistani Cuisine
A newly opened Indian and Pakistani restaurant on the 2nd floor of the Ramada Hotel, though quiet and small (we were the only group there when we went), the food more than makes up for it. The staff are friendly and the service was quite good, and the owner speaks English. We paid 300RMB for 4 people, but the owner gave us 15% discount as it's a new place, and we kind of know him. The naan bread here was excellent, paneer naan, garlic naan and butter naan. Also try the Chicken Karahi or the butter chicken. The menu is extensive and it would be hard not to find something that you like. Very good overall.
