Kira Bistro & Lounge Bar in Cheshire East

An evening of highs and lows. Some of the food, particularly the veg/vegan choices were inspiring. The beetroot, paneer and lentil dishes were lovely. I really enjoyed the chicken and saag, but the beef and cod cheeks were underwhelming. Although I appreciate the ‘served when it’s ready’ policy we ended up being there from 7.15 until 10pm. Drinks took an age to order and we asked for the bill three times. We were going to order desert but gave up waiting. Some of the dishes arrived cold… which was a little annoying when we sat looking at them going cold on the counter. One of our orders was forgotten, so the 12.5% service banged on and the delays was a little presumptuous, but the overall quality of the food was very good so we paid. It was a traditionally busy night of the week so the service felt under-staffed. Can’t fault Sunitha the chef for her hospitality and inspired menu ideas; just feel she needs a bit more support to pull it off. Will visit again and would recommend as the dishes that work are wonderful

Poor service, no atmosphere, and ok overpriced food. Sat at a table with the noise of an extractor or something as the only noise in the place. Moody young person with limited menu knowledge took our order then disappeared. Could see food ready. Didnt ask if we wanted more drinks. Literally no where to be seen! The food is OK but really over priced and tiny portions. Rice was overcooked and my friends meal wasn’t edible. Gave it another go. Won’t make that mistake again!

The cuisine is Indian which we are not experts in but were well advised by a very pleasant young man, Mathew Plant. The food was very nice, not too spicy hot, Mathew advised us to which dishes to choose. The place lacked atmosphere but we were dining at 6.30 on a Wednesday so probably not representative of weekends. We thought it was value for money and happily paid the 12.5% service charge as Mathew had been so pleasant and knowledgeable. The only advice I would give is that plates need to be warm not stone cold, apart from that a very enjoyable evening.

The owner Sunitha gives a lovely warm welcome to this lovely restaurant. lovely surroundings and extremely friendly staff, open kitchen allows you to see the chefs at work creating their fabulous dishes. The food was amazing, so tasty and light on your stomach. We tried lots of dishes from the menu, presentation was lovely . I definitely recommend this restaurant. We drove 50 minutes to get here and will definitely be coming back 😁

New £20 three course menu 😋 usual high standard of cuisine, the flavours were incredible. We had two starters and a main each. It was a substantial meal that didn’t require a dessert.

Sunitha is a food wizard. A genius in the kitchen. Her team are excellent too. The food is sublime and I can't wait to go again. Great work guys. Do yourselves a favour and make a trip there. X
