Before you head over

Helpful tips on bookings, ordering specialties, and dining timing for Sina’s Kitchen.

  • Order Popular Specialties Early

    Popular specialty items like the Dutch Lamprais can sell out during dinner service, so order early or ask your server in advance to secure a portion.

  • Reserve Ahead for Weekend Evenings

    The restaurant frequently hosts large groups and reservations fill up rapidly on Friday and Saturday evenings, so book well ahead for weekend dinners and buffet nights.

  • Allow Extra Time for Vegetarian Dishes

    While the kitchen prepares meat and seafood promptly, vegetarian selections can take noticeably longer to come out, so allow extra kitchen time when ordering veg mains.
