I may have found my new favorite restaurant in the twin cities. Khaluna gives you fancy Southeast Asian bites with refined but bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and attentive service. The restaurant has beautiful interior design giving tropical vacation vibes to transport you somewhere where it is not winter. Perfect natural lighting. Open floor plan. Our brunch started with complimentary rice puffs served beautifully in golden spoons with flowers as a lovely welcome. The duck congee and meat had wonderful flavorings that were both familiar and unexpected at the same time. The ginger drink was refreshing. Everything about this place was perfect. I can't wait to be back!

The restaurant is beautiful and the service was great. Our server knew the menu well and gave us many suggestions to try. We started with the basil wings and shrimp rolls. They were quickly devoured. Next we had our main courses. I had gotten the duck fried rice and my friends had the red chicken curry, yellow curry, and the bucatini talay. Everyone loved their food. We shared the spice cake for dessert - also amazing.

Stylish and unique twist to Laotian cuisine. I loved the way the flavors it and the cocktail drinks were amazing. This place definitely gives me the vibes of Asia meets West Coast. Will definitely go back when I'm in town.

Beautiful decor, perfect for a date, celebration and girls gathering. Service is absolutely awesome. The workers know the menu and can tell you all about everything from the drinks to menu items. They offered their recommendations and they were on point! We ordered the tapioca dumplings filled with peanuts and coconut, bucatini and noodle soup. Our friends ordered French toast & breakfast fried rice. Every item on the menu was delicious. The bellini flights were good, the iced Vietnamese coffee cocktail tasted so good, you could easily want another one, the non alcoholic Vietnamese coffee was gone before you knew it and my hot fresh jasmine tea was very floral, fragrant and full of bodies flavor. Highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. Everything about this place is excellent and amazing!

The food is sooo amazing! If you like Gai Noi, Hai Hai you will love Khaluna. Drinks and dessert are a must here. We enjoyed the Skoo, Samosas, shrimp rolls, laab, mango fish, massaman curry, duck laab and crab fried rice! There wasn't an item that wasn't done to absolute perfection. Everything was fabulous. The ambience is fantastic and they have a big patio as well. Great service! Khaluna has become a new favorite!

Pros: Gorgeous indoor/outdoor space Attentive service Decent amount of variety for bunch options Enjoyed the complimentary rice bites - the sweetness was a surprise Cons: Did not enjoy the breakfast fried rice though it did look lovely (see pic) I am not a fan of Laotian food, so the spices did not agree with me You will be charged a "5% Health and Wellness" surcharge which is super annoying; I'd rather they add this to our meal prices Pro tip: The dishes are presented beautifully, and I applaud their creativity in putting together their menu. Suggestion is to visit during dinnertime as this is likely their sweet spot (not brunch).

Amazing! We had a four hour layover in Minneapolis and decided to Uber in for someplace to eat. We arrived a bit early -doors opened promptly at 10:00 am for Saturday brunch. We let our waiter (Chay) know that we had a time constraint, and he went out of his way to make sure we would have no issues. We scheduled our Uber pick up, ordered several entrees and a few appetizers, and had a relaxing brunch! Everything we had was delicious -this is the kind of place I would definitely return to and would have no reservations in trying something new -everything on the menu looks fantastic. (We even got a dish to go, and enjoyed it the next day after we made it back home from our travels.) We strongly recommend Khâluna! Wonderful food, great staff, and super convenient/15-20 min from the airport.

Food 5 stars Drink 5 stars Ambience 5 stars Service: 3-5 stars. I know that makes no sense. The waitstaff worked hard and server was great. Idk what was going on but it took 2 hrs for us to get our entree. I know it was not our servers fault as he checked in on us often and kept apologizing for the wait Aside from the wait for food, everything was great. Such a cool space, and amazing door and drinks. I felt reasonably priced for what you get and really unique flavors you can't find anywhere else. Love Anne Ahmed and all her restaurants

Khaluna is the place dreams are made of. It's been 24 hours and I'm still blown away. There are no words to describe the ambiance of this place. It is truly dreamy. Airy, neutral, cozy, but light. It's perfection. I made reservations for 8 at 5pm on a Wednesday. I'd strongly recommend making a reservation as they get quite busy. We were seated promptly and served the most DELICIOUS welcome tea I've ever had. Nick was our server and he completely exceeded my expectations. He was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, and took such great care of our table. Thank you, Nick! We ordered a few cocktails and mocktails to start. Nick explained them all wonderfully and no one was disappointed. He even made me a small sample of the welcome tea since I loved it so much. For appetizers we started off with the basil wings, shrimp rolls, and chicken samosas. Every single thing we ordered blew me away. The flavor combinations, crispiness of the chicken, the genius idea to tempura basil and jalapeños. Order these and I promise you won't be disappointed. For entrees, we had orders of massaman and red curry. Each comes with either Jasmine or sticky rice. Y'all..... I consider myself a curry aficionado and this was BY FAR the best curry I've ever had. You will have to taste it because there are no words. (Side note: it tastes even better the next day for lunch because you will have leftovers). Overall review: Khaluna is a must try. If you're looking for a vibe, food that is divine, and exceptional service look no further. I really don't believe you could order anything wrong. Khaluna knows flavor, taste, and food. Make a reservation and save yourself the trouble of waiting. Parking is on the street but a short walk will never hurt anyone. Khaluna, you are now one of my favorites and I look forward to putting this in my rotation.
