Restaurant details
The chef
Inspired by the flavours and colours of her Bengaluru home in India, Sunitha Southern has absorbed a host of other influences to create her own unique cuisine that is as fresh and effervescent as the chef herself.
She came to England in 2016 and started cooking because she missed the flavours and dishes of her homeland. She trained initially in local cafes, but it soon became clear she wanted to go her own way. Setting up on her own, she worked first as a pop-up chef and private chef and then opened her own mobile restaurant in 2020 – THE INDIAN GOAT FOOD TRUCK in Bollington, Cheshire.
Now Sunitha is embarking on the next stage of the adventure: with KIRA, she has realised her vision: to inject new energy into Indian dining in this part of the world by cooking and serving uncomplicated, unpretentious, delicious food prepared by a team who love what they do. She explains: ‘I have named my first restaurant ‘KIRA’ because it is from the heart, a beam of light bringing new hope and has strong ties to nature – we use only the freshest, seasonal ingredients. ‘The emphasis is on reinvigorating and enhancing the entire dining experience: we are committed to providing the best quality we can, making every guest feel special.’ KIRA will dare to avoid the norm, a distinctive, sensual, exciting fine dining experience – come and enjoy!

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
