Kinneret Cafe

Our Hanukkah dinner at Kinneret Grill this week was fabulous! Our party of seven was well taken care of. Each dish ordered - Mediterranean plate, rib eye steak plate, tempura orange sesame chicken plate, and chicken shawarma plate - was well presented and delicious. Portions were generous, and everyone was happy with their meal. The latkes we ordered on the side were fresh and oh so tasty, too 😋. Thanks to owners Avner and Karen Chriqui, and servers, for making our family Hanukkah dinner so enjoyable.

Extremely happy to have found this place. It has been years since I was able to go to a fully kosher restaurant, let alone one that has meat. It has a formal but relaxed family atmosphere and very knowledgeable servers when it comes to questions about the good. The deserts are even parve!!! You couldn't find anything better.

Family owned and run restaurant. Kosher. The ambiance is very soothing. Good for an individual or family. I ordered a burger, not the correct choice for a Mediterranean Restaurant! Since I'm on a restricted diet, I can't have fried in oil foods, so I couldn't order a dish with chicken breasts. Next time, I think I will try lunch and ask more questions about the menu choices.

The atmosphere was wonderful and the food was delicious. If you're looking for an authentic Mediterranean meal, this is the place to go in Cincinnati. The food is perfectly seasoned and reminds you of home with how comforting everything tastes. I ordered the chicken shawarma and the Moroccan cigars; both were absolutely delicious and I left feeling like a 12/10. The service is so friendly too, the owner and his wife are spectacular at cooking and customer service with that mom and pop vibe that makes you really think of family. I would recommend this as a must for foodies with an urge to try a bit of everything during their stay in the city.

My husband and I went for lunch for our one year anniversary. The food is so comfy and cozy. Every bite was absolutely mouthwatering. It was nostalgic and exotic at the same. The owner is a very jovial man, too. If you're thinking about stopping here, just do it! Highly underrated restaurant in Cincinnati that deserves more business.
