Kohinoor

Kota Kinabalu


This silk-festooned waterfront restaurant looks promising, but its northern Indian cuisine is hit-and-miss. The naan bread is pillowy-soft, vegetarian dishes such as bhindi (okra) masala and palak paneer are tasty enough, but as for fish and seafood, it's important to ask what's fresh, otherwise you get aged prawns swimming in indifferent gravy.
