I did not know what is so special in this restaurant,People have no sense of Indian food.

I am from england,and I have good knowledge about indian food,but kirans is dissapointing.None of the waiters knows what they serving?They look smart any way.

Its a waste of time and money.Portion size is too low.

Silverware and flat wares are dirty,

Feel lack of Indian concept/Management

look behind the numbers

by seanofthefed at Citysearch

I didn't like this place at all, and the prices shocked my conscience. Here's my advice: don't go. And if you're confused by the positive reviews, dig a little deeper. Look at the number of reviews the restaurant itself used to respond to. Now they don't respond to any. Do you think they've forgotten about the website? Unlikely. I think they've begun writing glowing reviews instead of apologizing. Check out how polarized the reviews are (i.e. I'm guessing 4 or 5 stars come from the owner and 1 star from the guests). Look at the number of positive reviews that come from people who have only reviewed one thing--Kiran's. Amazing, huh?

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: everything

Flavors didn't Pop..

by gourmet82 at Citysearch

The host taking reservations had no clue what opentable was even though we had booked through this website. Once i got there she told me that my reservation did show up in their system. Very confusing...

If you're looking for authentic, bold indian flavors;you will not enjoy this restaurant. If your palette prefers mildly seasoned foods with hints of indian spices then this might just be your dream come true.

The food is extremely pricey which was expected since the location and setup was very upscale. The ambiance was great. The food was okay, nothing to ride home about. We had gone during restaurant week 2009 which meant a pre-fixed menu. I ordered the fig stuffed tandoori quail which tasted really sweet. My friend ordered the tandoori halibut which was extremely bland and tasted like.. nothing. We also ordered samosas from the regular menu and those actually were decent. The one thing i did appreciate though was that the chef herself came out to inquire about what kind of chai we were hoping to have after dinner. That was sweet.

Aside from the samosas, the goat cheese naan was good as was the potato stuffed naan. Also, the lamb porterhouse was to die for. So if you're headed to Kirans.. get some suggestions on what to order and what not to. Trial and error is not the way to go here.. not with these prices...

• Pros: The lamb was great.. the chai was good
• Cons: Various.. Read Details.
