One of the Hindi meanings of kinaara is edge. Two lines going in different directions until they meet is the perfect way to explain Ashish’s and Kimberly’s journey on how ended up together and opening Kinaara. Ashish came from Kerala, India, where he started as a chef 16 years ago. From there he worked in five star hotels in Dubai before coming to America. In Omaha he has built his reputation for being the go to chef for authentic and amazing Indian meals, especially his Biryani and South Indian cuisine. He loves eating homemade food, especially fish curry. His favorite thing to do when he is not working is playing cricket. He is one of the best bowlers in Omaha Cricket, which he described as his extended family. Kimberly was born and raised in Omaha. Eating, traveling, watching movies, and reading have been her favorite things most of her life. She has been a hair stylist for 11 years. This allowed her to travel all over the world and throughout the United States. While doing this she also earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the UNO College of Business. Her studies took her to India, where she fell in love with the culture. A few months after she got back, she and Ashish met. With both of their experiences in customer service and Kimberly’s business degree they want to bring you the best Indian food and the best experience. With Omaha being the most restaurants per capita, they know you have many choices when deciding where to eat. They want to show that they will always respect your money, and will give you high quality food at a reasonable rate. It will always be true that you are only as good as the last dish you served.
