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.

    I felt spoiled given the posh seating and decor, outstanding service, and divine cuisine. My chicken biryani made my tongue dance with delight. Everyone in our party loved their dishes.

    Been to this place several times, always excellent. Priority to Kiran’s I thought I didn’t like Indian food. Since trying food here I LOVE! Indian food. The tea experience is a must try. One of the best in the Houston area. They have a great selection of mock tails. Highly recommend

    Wonderful High Tea! The food was spectacular, the service and ambience as well. The harp player was amazing. It was the perfect afternoon with family to relax and chat over wonderful delicacies and tea. Look forward to coming back for this special experience again!

    Christmas Buffet is perfection! All the food is delicious, but save room for dessert. This is a lovely way to spend the holiday.

    Came here for Christmas brunch buffet and I couldn’t have been happier. There was a huge vegetarian selection. I tried to get a portion of everything, but my stomach wouldn’t allow it. This was one of the best brunch buffets I’ve ever bad.

    Outstanding meal as always at Kiran's. Never have to wait for reservation. Saige, as waiter, is the best waiter I've ever had - always helpful and attentive.

    Perhaps the finest Indian meal that I've ever had and I've had a few. Real attention to detail, fresh and inventive (e.g., goat cheese naan). Outstanding.

    We had our office Christmas lunch at Kirin’s. The majority never had Indian food before. Our server explained the menu perfectly and made great suggestions. The food was delicious and service was excellant.
