This is a top 5 restaurant in Minneapolis. What a vibe, what a treat. I don’t have a single critique for any part of our experience or items we ordered - it was top notch from start to finish. The basil wings are in a league of their own. Crisp and juicy to perfection. The red snapper crudo was a nice, light, and coconutty way to start the meal. The scallops in our green curry were the best cooked I’ve had in quite a while. The duck fried rice is an instant classic. And the merengue desert we had to finish it off was phenomenal…. I was completely prepared not to like it but I was blown away.

This place. Had me speechless. It's absolutely amazing all around. Drinks,food, and atmosphere - second to none. By far, it is my favorite place to eat during my time here. I recommend the Duck fried rice. A wonderful balance of sweet and salty with a touch a smoke. The basil wings were the appetizer, which was lightly breaded season with a dry rub and partnered with lightly fried basil leaves, jalapeños. This paring together was awesome. But the winner was the Massaman Curry...... the amount of depth and layers of flavors will leave you in awe. You can literally taste the time and passion in this. It commands the respect of your taste buds and leaves you wanting more! Definitely will be returning very soon, hungry for more!

If you’re thinking about going here just go immediately! Every single thing was delicious. The sesame ginger beef called (Siin swan) with sticky rice and the basil wings are so flavorful and uniquely delicious. To my surprise, the duck fried rice was extremely tasty. It was my first time trying duck and I absolutely loved it. If you’re someone that normally eats duck, this dish will probably hit even better for you. The purple & pear bramble cocktail was one of the best fruit cocktails I’ve ever had. Lastly you can’t leave without trying their desserts, I had the mango sorbet and the Robert Redford they were both so satisfying. The presentation and atmosphere are beautiful. The service was good enough, they did forget to bring out an appetizer that we ordered, but we decided that we would pass on it. My only critiques are that we did have to ask for the dessert menu rather than being offered. I was also not offered another cocktail, etc. I also realized when I got home that they didn’t give me the rest of my sticky rice when they packed our food up. I did give the waiter the benefit of the doubt considering that the restaurant was working on their closing duties and he was still very kind. I will definitely be back!

My initial experience here was nothing short of impressive. The culinary offerings were exceptional, and I was genuinely impressed by the exquisite flavors. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, with its warm lighting and tasteful decor creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, offering insightful recommendations that enhanced our dining journey. Our server, Shawn, was simply exceptional and an absolute sweetheart. Each dish was an experience, not only in taste but also in presentation, showcasing the chef's creativity and passion. It was an evening that left a lasting impression, and I eagerly look forward to returning for another delightful meal. If I can give this restaurant higher than 5 stars I absolutely would!

What an amazing experience! I’m honestly confused as to how this place doesn’t have a full 5-star rating, it absolutely deserves it. We visit Minneapolis at least once a year and always search for the best restaurants, and Khâluna is now at the very top of our list. We’re already planning to return on our next trip. Every drink and dish was a work of art and absolutely delicious! They went above and beyond to accommodate the gluten- and dairy-free needs in our group, which was truly impressive. Our waitress was incredible and I’m still annoyed I didn’t catch her name! The décor is also stunning, It really adds to the whole experience. What a memorable evening. Highly recommend!

We stopped by for brunch for the first time and were immediately impressed by the bright, airy space. The food was delicious, and our server was incredibly attentive. They even surprised us with a sweet birthday treat (not pictured), which was such a thoughtful touch. We’re already planning to come back for dinner!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience here! Six of us and a toddler had dinner on a Saturday evening and had made reservations about a month in advance. They have a great drink and beer selection and even had a Maui Brewing beer on their rotating selection, which happens to be a family favorite! We ordered three appetizers/small plates and six entrees and took a little bit home. Everything was perfect and soooo good! Special shout out to the Shrimp Rolls, Bucatini Talay, and the Salmon. Even though we were stuffed, we got dessert and the presentation was lovely. They brought out sorbet for my birthday and that was honestly my favorite dessert! Our waiter was so kind and put up with my family's many dad jokes. The ambiance was peaceful with neutral and earthy decor that we all wanted to have in our homes! Highly recommend.

Such a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. An absolute must try. It is family style, which is awesome when a nice restaurant does it right. We had 2 apps, 3 entrees, and 1 dessert and that was about the perfect amount for our group of 4. I will say the cocktails were nothing to write home about, so I recommend getting wine or not having any cocktails. I highly recommend coming here. You will very much enjoy your meal and time at Khâluna
