Came here with a group of 4, and like the unadventurous, uncultured people we are, all ordered the exact same thing: Chicken Tikka Masala (and sides of naan!)
The Chicken Tikka Masala was very generous in portion size; gladly ate it all though, as it was delicious. The overall combination of the fragrant rice, the savory chicken, and the naan was wonderful, and I didn't waste any bit of it!
In terms of authenticity, I can't really attest to how much this place will remind you of your mom's cooking, but if you are craving that American-Indian concept, then Mirch Masala is a perfect restaurant for you! Space is kinda small though, so it's possible there are waiting times around peak hours.
Really wonderful place to stop in for lunch. Had the curry of the day vegetarian special, which included palak paneer and Chana masala – two favorites! The spice level was just perfect, and seasoning was tomato-filled with a nice dab of coriander for the Chana and the spinach really came through on the palak paneer. Opted to pay extra for the naan, and we were glad we did – both garlic and regular were delicious, although if I were to come back I would just get one order because we had so many leftovers to take home (portion size is large, not complaining at all!). Also had a small cup of the house Chai tea, it wasn't full of flavor, but it was pretty good. The service here is one of the best I've had in the neighborhood; friendly, fast, and courteous (they never rush you and treat you with respect). The atmosphere is a bit lacking especially in the music department (they play indie pop music mostly), but that doesn't really matter honestly. All of these things for a nice price, I will definitely be back!
Really clean tasty friendly Indian. The lunch special is a great deal and perfect for one hungry man. CTM is sweet like I like it – and not overly creamy. They were very accommodating.
We got some take out food from here, and I'm so glad we did! I fully plan on stopping by here on my way home to pick up some delicious Indian food very, very often. We ordered via yelp, which was also our first time doing that, and it worked easily, and had our food within twenty minutes.
My husband and I picked up several things:
-The Kashmiri Naan was so good!! I've never had naan so delicious. Stuffed with coconut, nuts, and fruit, it's perfect in every way possible.
-Pakoda was so crispy, and they use a chickpea flour which is cool.
-Masal dosa had great flavor, and the perfect amount of spice (I ordered it as "medium spice," and I love spicy!). It help up well as leftovers heated up in the toaster oven.
-My husband had the lamb biryani, which lacked the cashews and raisins most other places put in it, but he swore by the flavor and had no complaints.
Portions are definitely big enough for two meals, and all of our food was like $40. Totally a steal for how good it was!
Came here yesterday with 3 friends at around 4PM. This place is pretty tiny but not cramped. We were surprised that their lunch special was still going on (apparently until 5PM)! We didn't order it though since it is a specific curry of the day and we were all craving other ones. The food was really tasty and they give you each a bowl of rice, which is way more generous than other ones I've been to. The prices are decent (~$15 per curry dish). I would come back again if I'm around the neighborhood!
It was just ok. We had our Friday team lunch here. The chicken in the Chicken Tikka Masala was not cooked well; a little tough. Lamb vindaloo wasn't as spicy as it should be for a vindaloo. Baingan Bartha was ok but not close to the best I've had. Dosa was just okay. Everything was just ok.
Waitress knocked over a water cup and spilled water everywhere. And it took forever to get her attention to get the check at the end.
This is my first time trying Indian food and I am impressed the chicken tikkia Marsala was amazing and went wonderfully with the garlic naan. Came here on a Sunday night and the wait was less than five minutes but it got packed really fast after we got seated so I guess I went at a good timing. The shrimp thing I got was not as good as the tikkia Marsala. One pot is actually more than enough food for two people, we ordered two pots and couldn't finish so word of advice to future patrons of two just get the tikkia marsala get the naan and you are all set!
Nothing really stood out to me besides the mango lassi.
The chicken saag was decent and the chicken curry was ok. Wish they used more spices to season the chicken because it just tastes like plain chicken in an accompanying sauce versus it being one with the sauce.
Service was good .
