We decided to give Mirchi a try. Mirchi has a lunch buffet for $13.99/person. Lunch buffet is only on Mon - Fri.
The buffet spread had the following:
- naan - brought out fresh
- basmati rice
- tandoori short ribs - delicious but find it hard to eat. I do like to suck the bones after!
- tandoori chicken - so moist and tender
- goat curry - OMG!- one of the best goat curries I've ever had! NB: Watch for the bone splinters.
- butter chicken - pretty good
- lentils - one of my fave dishes, made with green lentils and tiny hints of red peppers in a cream sauce
- zuchinni curry - peppery hot - dished out a whole green chilli in the curry - that's probably what is spicing it up!
- potatio & green pepper curry
- pakora
- cucumber, carrot, onion mix
- romaine lettuce with pieces of cold tandoori chicken
- raita for salad dressing - yogurty creaminess
Spice Level: For a Pakistani restaurant, I'd say the spice level is a 4 stars out of 5. It is more spicy than any Pakistani restaurants I've been to.
If there's no buffet, it's alacarte. That would be something to try out!
One little warning though: the restaurant is set in the basement and there's a set of stairs from the sidewalk to the door of the restaurant. At the landing/bar, there's another set of 5 stairs to the actual restaurant..
Also, I find the music a tad too loud for my taste. I think they might need to tone it down a bit.
Parking is on the street parking.
Will definitely come back for the food, for sure.
