    We went for afternoon tea, 2 adults and 2 kids. Initially the experience was fantastic, there was a harpist and the ambience felt very special. The menu options are a delight, and I definitely recommend the port and prosecco for adults. However the pacing of the courses was quite uneven, with our kids' tea courses arriving up to 15 minutes before or after the grown ups' food. For a pre-fixe meal costing $350+, a group of four people seated together really should be served at the same time. By the time nearly two hours had past, the harpist had left and several large parties made the dining room noisy and crowded. I'm glad we went once but we will not be back again.

    Hostess seated a family with small children in the dining room. The children talked loud and screamed during throughout our meal. We were shocked! This was inconsiderate to my family and other guest dining. Should have gone to McDonalds for dinner instead.

    We were fortunate enough to dine in the wine cellar. What a fantastic venue. The food as always was amazing. Kiran’s is our favorite Indian restaurant outside of Mumbai or Delhi. Chef Kiran is an absolute delight we’ve been dining with her for almost 20 years Obviously we’re fans. And we highly recommend you try her establishment.

    We spent the night in the emergency room after our son got cashews in his meal. We told them several times about his allergies. I understand mistakes can happen but this one could have killed him. We went to the ER. It’s sad that they knew all this and we had ordered - we took our food to go but hours later it was ruined . We didn’t mind paying for it all but a terrible experience

    I typically LOVE coming to Kiran's and the food is typically beyond outstanding! Unfortunately yesterday fell short. The overall service was extremely slow and the tea sandwiches which are typically great, weren't the usual. All the bread on them seemed to not be fresh and I wasn't as pleased as I have been in the past. In addition and I understand the restaurant may have nothing to do with this, but the valet company that the property uses is TERRIBLE!!! This is the 3rd or 4th time I have been to Kiran's in the past year and I always have to wait (even if there is only one customer in front of me) for 10-15 minutes for my car and a few times they have forgotten which car belongs to who and have to reconfirm with the customer before heading to the garage to retrieve the correct car. I will definitely be coming back because I truly think Kiran's has some of the best Indian cuisine in the city, but yesterday unfortunately was not a representation of that.

    Everything about our dinner was wonderful! The waiter was superb! The duck was the best we have had anywhere in the world! My daughter, who is a vegetarian, really enjoyed all the other dishes that she chose for us. The Kiran naan was like no other! The Spiced Chocolate cake, recommended by the waiter, was amazing! We can't think of any restaurant we have been in recent years that hit it so well on all levels! It was a true pleasure in every way

    Kiran’s is an excellent Indian food restaurant. Everything I’ve had there is tasty and well presented. They have a reasonably extensive wine list. The service was excellent. The restaurant presents as quite refined and we took almost 2 hours to enjoy the various courses we ordered and shared, with our server observing a proper spacing between courses.

    Once again the meal was fantastic. We over ordered, and the red snapper came a little late, but all was good. The only suggestion is that the chicken kabob needed to be a little more descriptive. It was more like a sausage than what we think of as "Greek type" kabob. Wonderful evening.

    The food and service were outstanding, and they have a wonderful cocktail and beer menu (and wine list). We shared several dishes from the vegetarian menu, and all were excellent - the standout was wild mushrooms with baby spinach. The desserts were also great, particularly the carrot and pistachio kolfi, which was exceptional. Also, kudos to our server, Cynthia, who politely tended to all of our needs. Overall, a great experience and some of the best Indian food we’ve ever had.
