I’m being serious when I say I can’t imagine living without this place. My partner and I order from here at LEAST once a week, sometimes more. Every time we have to move apartments, we make it a priority to stay in the Kanan delivery zone. So far it’s stayed with us through four different apartments. The takeout special is the best bargain in Brooklyn. I recommend chicken makhani, paneer tikka masala, saagwala paneer, chicken vindaloo, gobi manchurian, the samosas, and especially the side of aloo papri. The regular naan is good but definitely get the garlic naan if you can. The family that owns Kanan is so nice and thoughtful. Remember to call in your order instead of using Seamless—so much more money goes to the local business owner rather than a corporation! Kanan, please stay in my life forever!

Love this place. Great food -- the gobi Manchurian is the best I've had. Super fast service and great deals are offered on takeout and delivery orders.

This restaurant has been one of my delivery go-tos for many years, they are delicious. I've tried many of their dishes, and I've always left satisfied. I'm a particular fan of their Lamb Korma, Vindaloo, and Butter Chicken. Besides their great food, their prices are very reasonable (especially their takeout / delivery special), and I've never had any problem with delivery. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: As with any Indian restaurant, the vegetarian food is excellent!

Why are there so few reviews of KANAN?! They are hands down the best traditional (I'm not really qualified, but love Indian food) Indian food takeout/delivery in the Carroll Gardens area. We have been ordering from them for years, and they never disappoint. Don't sleep.

The worst Indian food I have ever had. I ordered Naan, paneer tikka masala which had no tikka qualities or any masalas.Dal tadka had no tadka, just boiled lentils.Too bad.

Just the two of us, so we ordered just two entrees as take-out since there is no outdoor seating. We shared the chicken dish and it was awful. The chicken was rubbery, tough, flavorless - possibly the worst Indian dish I've ever had. We thought we'd give the shrimp dish a try the next day though we were tempted to toss it. To our surprise it was totally delicious and certainly deserved 4 stars at least. Alas, restaurant food is not inexpensive and 50% good is just not acceptable. We had white basmati rice since brown was not available.

Don’t go in there to dine, but pickup is the best. Best go to Indian in the area, perfect offers and delicious every time.

This is my go-to takeout spot for Indian! It's a little further from me than other restaurants, but I always regret not ordering from Kanan if I choose a closer option. I usually order the take out special, which has an appetizer, entree, and naan. The chicken tikka masala is the perfect combo of tomato, cream and spices. The aloo papri is great, love the flavors! And the naan is always good, I do wish they had an option to upgrade to a flavored option. The mango lassi is also delicious. The food usually arrives on time or early and is always piping hot. Definitely recommend!
The food was delicious and the service was fast!I ordered a takeout special that included an appetizer and an entrée, I chose the chicken samosa and the chicken tikka masala (spicy) that had naan on the side with two kinds of chutneys. The combination of flavors is quite good10/10! I really recommend this place

Samosas were yummy, naan was good but the butter chicken was horrific. Dry, thin strips of chicken that tasted funky. Couldn't eat it. The sauce was so lackluster it almost put me to sleep. Maybe I'll give them another shot and try a different dish. I don't know

Pretty ok and nice when you want good food and quickly. Chicken curry was good and garlick naan
