A celebration dinner for my best friend took me and the crew to the new Mirchi on 2nd Avenue SW. The place is gorgeous and the owner who used to oversee the 10th avenue location was there donning a very dapper suit and watch. We had a reservation and sat in a luxurious table for 6. The place was dripping with luscious fabrics, reds and blacks. The ornaments were tasteful and the restaurant is basically a very elegant place to have delicious South Asian food.
Our lovely waitress and only waitress this evening serving over 12 tables was very warm yet formal and she took our mango lassie orders and food orders in good time. The place had dim mood lighting and great fusion Bollywood tunes. The food took quite a long time to come however but we were in an especially patient mood, so gifts were then passed to my friend and more conversation enveloped the space before the first appetizer was served.
We ordered tons of plates, from the lamb chops, to curried prawns, chicken skewers to spinach and potato curry, it was so amazing, side baskets of Naan bread were ordered as well as basmati rice and yogurt sauce. We must of had 10 plates on the table, including a nice refreshing cucumber salad and coleslaw salad mixture with diced carrots and cabbage.
To round off the meal we ordered saffron ice cream, gulab jamon, and sponge cake. I highly recommend this new location to anyone who wants to go on a romantic date or would like to gather with a small intimate group of people and feast.
