The food is delicious, the service is good but I was disappointed to find that tap water is not available and plastic bottled water has to be purchased. On questioning I was told that they were not allowed to serve tap water "for health reasons". I have not found this to be the case in any other restaurant I have visited in Geelong. Not wanting to drink alcohol or sweet drinks and being opposed to the overuse of single use plastics and concerned about what goes into landfill, means that I will no longer be frequenting this restaurant.

Beautiful food, lovely front staff and atmosphere. I came down on boxing day from melbourne where I live, and it was the best indian food I have ever had with my family. We have visited other Indian restaurants in Melbourne but Kohinoor had by far the best taste amongst them all. Highly recommend this place 10/10

Worst food I ever ate in 12 years. If there would be an option of zero star thats what these people deserve, even they dont care when you call them regarding your complaint.

The worst part you have to pay extra $3 for a little bread. Which should be complementary with every dishes. And every plates are just very little. That we can call extra small for regular price. I would like to recommend not to try even.
