Under the ancient porticos of Genoa, where the stones tell stories of the sea and merchants, a discreet door opens, but those who enter are transformed. “Kohinur” — like the legendary diamond from which it takes its name — shines without ostentation. It is a refuge of flavors, clean and tidy like a promise kept, where every detail is care and every gesture is respect.
The place welcomes you with sober elegance. No frills, just authenticity. You come here to nourish more than the body: the memory, the desire, the nostalgia of places never seen but imagined in the spicy dreams of distant travels.
The staff, kind with the natural grace of those who do not act courtesy but live it, accompanies the customer with rare honesty and attention. No forcing, only sincere smiles and true advice, like between long-time friends.
Then he arrives, the silent protagonist: the biryani rice with vegetables. It is a dish, yes, but also a prayer of flavors. A weave of fragrant rice, dotted with spices that do not shout but whisper. Turmeric, cardamom, cumin, cloves... they chase each other without ever colliding, in a perfectly choreographed dance. It is a delicate, balanced fusion that pays homage to tradition.
A spiced tea, served with discretion and warmth, closes the circle. It is not a goodbye, but a see you later, because places like this are not visited only once.
“Kohinur” is a diamond set in via di sottoripa, which does not blind but illuminates.
It is poetry served with humility.
It is flavor, soul and kindness.

The food especially vegetarian biriyani was delicious. The best one I have eaten abroad. But the curry qunatities were limited. Could be expanded.

Nestled in a bustling corner of the city,
Indiano K offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for casual dining. While it doesn’t aim for haute cuisine, this modest establishment delivers a satisfying experience for those seeking comfort food with a dash of Indian creativity.
The menu features a mix of classic dishes and a few innovative twists. The standout for me was their chicken Masalla . The flavors were familiar yet elevated, with a hint of smoky paprika that added depth. The portion size was generous, making it ideal for a hearty lunch.
Their main courses cater to a range of preferences.
Service was friendly, though a bit slow during peak hours. The staff seemed slightly overwhelmed but maintained a cheerful demeanor, which softened the wait. The decor is not fancy but it does have a charming homey vibe.
Prices are reasonable, with most mains falling between 10 and 18 euro. For the quality and portion size, it feels like good value. While this place may not compete with fine dining establishments, it excels at being a reliable neighborhood spot that leaves you satisfied and eager to return.
Rating: 4/5

Don't let the ambience guide you. We almost wanted to turn back.
The staff is even better, very friendly and accommodating. The food was also excellent in all respects. We ate very well and went home happy.
Many thanks to the team!
