About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Fancy
Vegetarian-friendly

James Beard semi-finalist for Best Chef Texas and Top Chef Season 19 judge Kiran Verma, considered the ‘godmother of Indian fine dining,’ has created world-class north Indian cuisine at her eponymous restaurant. Come and enjoy good food and great service in a fabulous environment.

Signature dishes include rack of lamb with aloo methi, Chilean sea bass with mango chutney, chicken tikka masala and a vegetarian thali. Specialty cocktails range from the Jahangir Lassi (house-infused pineapple rum, passion fruit, mango lassi, pistachio) to a Chai Old Fashioned to a Cardamom Basil Gin & Tonic.

The restaurant serves Afternoon Tea every Friday, Saturday and Sunday - a four-course Indian and English tea experience. Chef Kiran has created her own chai blend.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Kiran Verma

From the OpenTable editors: At her namesake restaurant, 2023 James Beard semifinalist Kiran Verma serves up inventive dishes that pair traditional Indian flavors and techniques with local ingredients. The results are wholly unique: tandoori Texas quail with fig chutney or goat cheese and beet salad with masala cashews, for example. Weekends are an especially fun time to dine, when afternoon tea service stars the restaurant's signature chai blend.

This was a wonderful dinner to celebrate as a couple. We are vegan and yet we had many wonderful options. The food and service were exceptional. We'll definitely return next time we're in town.

Amazing. Samosa and Prosecco lead off, then tea sandwiches, scones, and dessert. Everything an exercise in culinary flavor balance. Biggest surprise the salmon with capers and cranberries. Very interesting cocktails and we were able to try all the teas. Theresa our server was excellent. Be prepared. One Prosecco each with the tea service for two was $197 with 20% auto included.

We have NEVER had a bad meal here! Consistently great. Fish Chili Tikka/lamb samosas/lamb biryani/chicken vindaloo/ chaat/deserts were all great. A special shout out to the greatest service with Maria and also to our sommelier who helped me with a great bottle of wine. Will definitely keep repeating!

We had a wonderful experience at Kiran’s! The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Our waiter, Sage, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made our brunch celebration even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
