Madison, Alabama, has been quietly building one of the most livable communities in the entire state, with growing neighborhoods, top-ranked schools, and a local dining scene that keeps expanding. And as of January 2026, there is a brand-new reason to skip the drive to Huntsville for a great meal. Kohinoor Indian Cuisine opened its doors on County Line Road just two months ago, and locals are already talking.

If you have been looking for authentic Indian food on the west side of Madison, your search is over.

What Is Kohinoor Indian Cuisine?

Kohinoor Indian Cuisine is a brand-new, authentic Indian restaurant that took over the former Goodland Pourhouse space at 12110 County Line Rd., Suite A, Madison, AL 35756. It serves a full menu of classic Indian dishes made with fresh ingredients and bold, aromatic spices, available for both lunch and dinner throughout the week.

The name “Kohinoor” refers to one of the most famous diamonds in history, celebrated for its brilliance. The restaurant carries that same idea into the kitchen, delivering flavors that are layered, vibrant, and genuinely memorable.

What Is on the Menu?

This is where things get exciting. Kohinoor covers the full range of Indian cuisine, from mild and creamy to bold and spicy. Whether you are a longtime fan of Indian food or trying it for the first time, the menu gives you plenty of room to explore.

Some standout dishes worth ordering:

  • Butter Chicken — tender chicken simmered in a creamy tomato-based sauce; widely considered the best entry point for first-timers

  • Lamb Madras — a South Indian-style dish with a deep, spicy kick; early diners have specifically called this one out as excellent

  • Chicken Tikka Masala — smoky, marinated chicken in a velvety, spiced sauce; a global favorite for good reason

  • Biryanis — fragrant basmati rice layered with whole spices, herbs, and your choice of protein

  • Samosas — crispy pastry shells stuffed with spiced potatoes and peas; perfect as a starter

  • Tandoori Naan — freshly baked in a clay oven, available plain, with garlic, or stuffed

  • Paneer dishes — homemade Indian cheese cooked in a range of sauces, from mild and creamy to warmly spiced

  • Dal Makhani and Chana Masala — hearty lentil and chickpea dishes that are completely plant-based and full of flavor

New to Indian food? Start with the lunch buffet. It is the easiest way to try several dishes in one visit without committing to a single plate.

Why Madison Needed This

The County Line Road corridor has been growing for years, with more residents, more families, and greater demand for dining options beyond the usual chains. Kohinoor arrives at just the right time, offering something genuinely different for the Madison food scene: a sit-down restaurant built around slow-cooked sauces, house-made breads, and recipes rooted in Indian culinary tradition.

One early visitor on MapQuest reviews put it simply after trying the Butter Chicken and Lamb Madras: “The food was VERY good, probably the best I’ve had in this area.” High praise for a restaurant that has been open for barely two months.

The lunch buffet is a particularly smart option for the midday crowd, including anyone working nearby or grabbing a break during the week.
