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 flavours 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.

The food was great, but service was slow and the air conditioning was so cold we almost had to leave. It really made the experience miserable out of what could have been a delightful dinner.

I was so happy that I stumbled upon an article that listed them as one of the top places to have tea in Houston. Whenever I go out of town I try to find a place where I can have tea service and this did not disappoint. It is probably in my top two favorite places I’ve ever gone for tea. I will definitely come back for tea during a future visit and also plan to come there for dinner as well as the food smelled wonderful. It is beautifully decorated. The staff were very accommodating and offered to put our luggage in their office as we were flying out directly after tea Service. I can’t say enough about the service, the ambience and the food and drinks.

Great food and service.... the top Indian restaurant in Houston by far and should have received a Michelin star. We eat at Kiran's a lot and the food is always so tasty and flavorful and they do not mess around with Indian fusion like some other places. They serve great authentic Indian food.

My experience with this restaurant was nothing short of excellent. The food and service were phenomenal. My girlfriend/lady and I had a wonderful time as we celebrated her birthday. We will definitely be back in the near future.
