One of the best restaurant in the town. We came from California and were craving for authentic Nepali Cuisine and was disappointed in so many locations even if cities like Manhattan but while on the road to Rhode Island, saw this restaurant and thought of giving it a try. To my surprise, this restaurant checks out everything. Food is absolutely delicious, vibe is so calm and the staff including the owner were so friendly. They even suggested me what to try on from the menu and I was so glad that they did. I ended up ordering more than I need to but the experience there just makes you want to try out everything there.
I will definitely be going back whenever I am close to this location or near Connecticut. Highly recommended to everyone looking for authentic NEPALI AND INDIAN CUISINE.

We decided to check out Kamana during a visit to Clinton Premium Outlets. While making a reservation was easy, it didn’t seem necessary as the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy at the time. The establishment feels like a former residence retrofitted into a restaurant, with the original entrance door still intact, giving the impression of walking into someone’s home.

Parking is available at the back, but the narrow driveway and entrance can be a bit confusing—you might find yourself accidentally heading toward the kitchen instead of the main entrance. Inside, the ambiance is pleasant, with décor that blends well with Indian culture. The menu, with its metal cover and embossed restaurant name, is unique, though it’s a bit heavy and clunky to handle.

We ordered Veg Momos, Chicken Lasuni, Paneer Chilli with Garlic Naan, Tamarind Margarita, and Mango Lassi. The food was good overall. The momos were particularly well-made, while the Paneer Chilli, though slightly dry, still tasted good. The Chicken Lasuni could have used a bit more garlic, and the chicken pieces might have been easier to eat if they were smaller, but they were well-cooked. The Garlic Naan was warm, fluffy, and nicely garnished. Portions were on the smaller side for the price but sufficient for two to share. The Mango Lassi was standard fare—good but nothing extraordinary. The Tamarind Margarita was also good, with a hint of tamarind, though the slender glass it was served in was an unusual choice and could have benefited from a bit more salt on the rim.

Service was quick, and the staff were friendly and kind. However, when we asked for cocktail recommendations, the staff couldn’t provide specific suggestions, leaving us to choose the Indian fusion margarita, which, while interesting, could have been recommended or suggested with confidence.

Overall, Kamana is definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re in the area.

The food is amazing, our waiter was very professional and prompt and I love the peaceful vibes of the restaurant.

One thing: if you want *ACTUAL SPICY* be sure to point that out. I guess their default is “American spicy” which is… very mild even for me. It doesn’t take away from how delicious the food is though.

We were weekly guests of Himalayan Cafe in Westbrook for years but since it closed down, we've been on the hunt for another good Indian Restaurant. Well, WE FOUND IT! The food and service are phenomenal. Everything was just wonderful. We found our new place and we'll be here every week. Amazing!
