Bar Kanoa

Hamburger steak is the focus at Bar Kanoa, with a choice of sauces and how much to put on your plate. The lunch set comes in regular, big and king sizes, and includes salad and rice; a larger serving of rice is free. Choose from house demi-glace, teriyaki, tomato, onion pepper, Japanese-style grated daikon, or garlic sauce. You could stick with the familiar demi-glace or change things up with the Japanese-style daikon or onion pepper. It may be worth deciding on your preferred sauce before choosing a size.

Some reviewers mention the juices and seared surface of the hamburger steak, served on a hot plate. One person enjoyed the mixed grill, which pairs the steak with a fried prawn and chicken steak, while another writes that they also liked the sautéed chicken. Go for the hamburger steak alone or sample several dishes on one plate; the mixed grill is an option when you have a hearty appetite. One reviewer says they dipped the iron-plate dishes into the sauce rather than pouring it over from the start. They were told that the sauce can splatter when poured, so letting the plate cool a little before adding sauce may be a useful approach.

For curry, the minced-meat keema comes with dal curry, kachumber and achar. The South Indian fish curry is served with dal curry, kachumber and achar as well. Hamburger steak curry comes with salad and is available in regular and big sizes, offering an alternative to a meat-focused lunch.

Drinks include Aperol, an orange and herb liqueur, and limoncello made with lemon peel from Amalfi. Beer and wine are also listed, along with coffee, espresso and Dojima Musica tea. The choices span everything from a lunchtime hamburger steak to a meal paired with Italian drinks.
