5 Tried their signature Paalkappa and beef ribs. Really tasty and worth for the money. Also tried their bdf and appam pollichath. Bdf was also too good and appam was only an average taste. Paalkappa with beef is highly recommendded. They have enough dining space for 40 people at a time. Also good for families.
5 Went to AMINA with my family. We went for tea and snacks, Bought - samavor, karak, coffee, and one boost Gotta say this they have the best tea, coffee, karak and boost. The boost had the strong smell, which is not seen these days, it was thick and not watery, and perfect amount of sweetness. The coffee was also perfect sweetness. The tea snacks was average, but the kalimas was good. I will give 5stars just for the tea itself, whatever they are doing in the tea, they’re doing it right. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 2 days before Me and my group of friends visited this place.. The dishes were beautifully presented by Mr. Manzoor. within an hour we got a brother from Kerala , and the service was top-notch. His language skill is much appreciated. And you deserve more dear brother.. We will come to see you again. Must-try the fish mango curry
4 I visited Amina Restaurant for dinner yesterday. The place was a bit crowded, which initially seemed like a good sign. However, the experience turned out to be mixed. After placing our order, there was a noticeably long wait to get the food. Unfortunately, the service wasn’t very attentive, which added to the frustration during the wait. On the positive side, the food itself was decent – nothing extraordinary, but satisfactory. The prices were also reasonable, making it an average value for money. Overall, while the food was okay, the slow service and long wait times detracted from the overall experience. Hopefully, they can improve their service in the future.
5 I had a great experience at Amina Restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor – truly a treat for anyone who enjoys authentic cuisine. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, making it perfect for both family meals and casual outings. A special mention to Munaveer, who made our visit even more enjoyable. His service was exceptional – friendly, attentive, and professional throughout. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied. It’s rare to find such dedication and kindness in service.
4 Good Indian food at a good price, especially, south Indian food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here and they were all equally satisfactory. I recommend this place.
4 I recently visited Amina Restaurant, and overall, it was a good experience. The food is generally delicious, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The beef ularthiyad was particularly tasty, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. The paal kappa and appam pollichad were also very good, adding to the variety of delicious options. However, I was disappointed with the Neypathal; it was quite hard and not enjoyable. On the bright side, their tea is amazing...definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Despite the Neypathal, I'd still recommend Amina for its great food and excellent tea.
