"Kiran’s, a posh spot in Upper Kirby, is a luxurious, and often spicy setting for a special occasion, mostly because it resembles a fantastical palace, if that palace was also full of gilded tandoors. The menu —which includes afternoon high tea service, multiple naanzzas (or, naan pizzas), and even a full-tasting menu of lobster—offers a dizzying number of layered, ornate dishes like dried cherry, English pea, and spiced lamb samosas. Whether you dine at the bar or daintily snack on finger sandwiches at high tea, the food at Kiran’s will make you feel exceptional." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
