Do they take reservations? If not, is there a line before it opens at 5:30 on a Saturday night? How early do you recommend I arrive in order to be seated for the first seating?

Kirala does not take reservations. If you want to be in the first seating on a Saturday when classes are in session, you might want to be in line by around 5.

There is always a a line. advance first come first seated. They do take reservations but the bar is a different story as you never know if the people before you will get up on time for youbto sit.. Now you can always go to the beverage bar and order food
