This is a brand new restaurant! We went on Valentine's Day when they had been open only 9 days. They were busy but not totally overrun (which can happen on Valentine's Day) so that was nice. The people were extremely friendly and welcoming and the interior looked new and fresh. It's located on E Shaw Ave, in the location where Thai House used to be for decades, but no traces of the old place remain! It looks brand new. The tables were decorated beautifully for Valentine's Day with candles and red rose petals and I was also offered a rose. Also a small dish of heart shaped chocolates was brought to the table. Really nice!The food was very good, although (and this is _not_ a complaint -- this is a brand new restaurant and if you go to a brand new place you need to expect a few "bumps" and not hold it against them!!) the entrees came out before the appetizer, we were not given any serving utensils, we ate our entire dinner on appetizer plates, there were no sauces or chutneys with the appetizer, and we never received our bread at all and bread is my favorite part of an Indian meal so I can't speak to the bread.But again: these are new restaurant "bumps" - I mention it, so that you will go expecting it, and if you don't want to eat off an appetizer plate and get your food in a an unusual order, wait a few weeks till they are in the groove of things and have worked out these little difficulties.The samosas were good -- fresh and hot. They had good flavor although we've never had samosas served without any kind of sauce or chutneys. They would have been much more enjoyable with sauce.Edited to add - I just saw another photo in someone else's review where they did serve sauces so this was probably just an oversight.The rice was good -- the portion seemed a bit on the small side, but only because we never got our bread. It would have been fine if we also had the bread.The butter chicken was highly praised in another review so we decided to try it. The sauce was very similar to other butter chicken we've had in the past, and it was quite good (but nothing different) -- but the standout in that dish was the excellent big pieces of high quality chicken. Most places you get a bowl full of sauce and maybe three bites of chicken. Not here! There was a lot of chicken: really good and big pieces of chicken.The standout of the entire meal for me, though, was the black dal (beans). Some dals are very thin and soupy but this one was not! I liked that it had some body to it and the beans had a bit of form to them still, and were not just mush. I loved the texture and the seasonings and the overall flavor.I loved the dal so much that I would come back just for that. And then I'd also probably try some other items along with it.No alcohol yet, but who knows - they might be getting a liquor license in the future: the server was a bit unclear on that point.Really nice people, nice vibe, good portions, good value, and tasty food! I encourage you to try it, but if the normal "new restaurant glitches" bother you -- wait a bit till they work it out! :)

2/15/25 Hot and new! Must try! Getting lunch! 2 veggie samosas and salmon with veggies ordered. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 20-30 minutes. I went to get it shortly later. Very nice, classy restaurant. Lots of seating! Definitely pricey! Hope it's good! A worker greeted with order in hand. Paid for it with a guy staring me down and not really welcoming at all. Why? Odd. I smiled at him and he gave me a stern look. Don't get it. Thankfully, after paying, 2 kind workers said thank you and I was honestly, really happy to be leaving. Lunchtime! Order split! Veggie samosa was good. Small, but they gave us 3 in 1 order. Extra. Really good sauces with it. Salmon with veggies was really good! Nice flavor with the way it was seasoned, sauce that came with it added a nice spice and fresh veggies. Mother said hers was really good. Good service from the kind workers & good lunch! Recommended!

From the outside you'd never expect how nice this place is on the inside. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Our server Roop was extremely nice and attentive to our needs. Mirchi Massala is a hidden gem on Shaw and we will definitely be back.

Stopped by on a whim, and am glad I did. My intention was to order butter chicken, but my server Roop encouraged me to branch out a little and I had the Nargisi Kofta. This was excellent, and the garlic naan was as good as I've ever had. I wish I could remember the name of the soup starter, because I would like to order it again. The service was excellent throughout the meal, and I found the value to be good. The restaurant is new, and the feeling is upscale. For a small amount more than other nearby options, you get food that tastes great, even better than expected.

All the food excellent, spice level was perfect. Not pictured was the mushroom and prawn appetizer. Everything was so good we had to slow down and capture the main dish mid-meal. Dining experience was beautiful and service was exceptional. Definitely a family friendly finer dining experience with authentic food and knowledgeable staff. Our toddler enjoyed the Mac & cheese and chocolate ice cream. Our new go to place!

The food here at Mirchi Masala is superb! We had several of their vegetarian kebabs which were perfect-hot, tasty and good sized portions. The service was excellent-Roop, our waitress was very attentive, kind and knowledgeable about the food and portions. The ambiance was excellent. The dining room and bathrooms were immaculate!

Highly recommend! Excellent service by Vanshikah. The whole staff made the experience feel like fine dining and very authentic. Loved the garlic NAAN, prawns and rice dish (very colorful and yummy). This is a newer restaurant plenty of parking and seating. I don't think I've had such good, attentive, service in a very long time.
