Welcome to the culinary world of Kaani Kaana, a Chelmsford takeaway that's stirring the pot of the local food scene with its authentic Bangladeshi and Indian dishes. This isn't your typical takeaway - Kaani Kaana is a family-run business that's committed to bringing the true flavours of South Asia to Essex.
Nestled on Duke Street, Kaani Kaana prides itself on its unique dishes, many of which you won't find anywhere else. The secret? They grow their own herbs and spices, ensuring that each dish is a genuine representation of South Asian cuisine. These recipes, passed down through generations, are the heart and soul of their menu.
Since opening, Kaani Kaana has garnered a slew of awards, including the 2024 Travelers’ Choice Awards from Tripadvisor and the prestigious title of "best in the UK" at the 2023 Asian Restaurant and Takeaway Awards. Now, they're in the running to be named the best takeaway in Essex, having made the shortlist for the second-ever EssexEats awards.
Sadiq Ahmed, the managing director of Kaani Kaana, explained the inspiration behind the business. Coming from a commercial banking background, Sadiq's passion for hospitality was ignited by his family's own takeaway in Greenwich. Seeing the potential for innovation in the takeaway industry, he decided to open his own venture, blending heritage and tradition with a unique twist.
Among their standout dishes is the dhakai kacchi biryani, a layered delight of lamb, rice, and potatoes, infused with aromatic spices. But it's not just about the food. Kaani Kaana is committed to its community, sourcing from local businesses and striving for eco-friendly practices. They also value their staff, ensuring a positive work-life balance and prioritising their wellbeing.
With a focus on quality, innovation, and community, it's no wonder Kaani Kaana is a contender for the best takeaway in Essex. Don't just take our word for it, visit them on Duke Street, open Monday to Sunday from 5pm to 10pm, and taste the difference for yourself.
