Kohinoor Review

With its decorative Southeast Asian artifacts and attentive service, this kosher branch of Tel Aviv's famous Tandoori Restaurant creates a graceful atmosphere of Anglo-Indian elegance. The sumptuous and affordable luncheon buffet is a chance for kosher travelers to become acquainted with one of the world's great cuisines. At dinner, you might want to start your meal with zafrani lassi, a refreshing, chilled "yogurt" drink. The boneless tandoori chicken dishes are succulent and flavorful. I was amazed by the fine nawabi korma, a boneless chicken prepared in lightly creamed and seasoned saffron sauce based on soy instead of milk in order to conform to kashrut regulations. There are examples of the cuisines of many regions here -- a wonderful array of South Indian dishes with coconut milk sauces has just been added to the menu. Everything is of very high quality, but served with very moderate spicing: If you want fiery traditional Indian seasoning, just let the staff know. The menu is marvelous at explaining dishes, and contains a virtual cookbook of special recipes. Very much worth the trip over to the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
