Mirchi Restuarant

I'm a Pakistani native. I know the very clear difference between real authentic briyani vs rice mixed in curry sauce. Before I order, I always ask if it's authentic dum briyani. If not, I'll gladly order something else. I went in wanting to order take out. They have no menus, only TV screen that switches between menu items. No problem I look on the Yelp menu. I ask, who I assume is the owner, if they make dum briyani or mix curry in rice. He very confidently assures me it's authentic dum briyani and he knows exactly what other briyanis I'm speaking of and it's not that. Ok cool, I order it. Again as someone who knows Pakistani food very well because I've ate it my entire life, this is not briyani. It's curry mixed in rice with fried onions. That's it! The chicken tastes horrible and old. I took 3 bites because I was starving and rest went to trash. Simple honesty that it's not actual briyani and I would've gotten something else. But to be cocky and say yours is the best and it's not even close. Not even eating worthy because chicken is bad.

Please update your prices for each dish. I use to pay about $30-+for 3 dishes and now it's $52. Be wary of this place as they will charge you whatever they feel like. And flavor has gone downhill. Maybe a change with the cook?There is no current menu with correct prices.

We should have taken the negative reviews to heart, but there was recently a positive writeup about this restaurant (and its Iftar service) by a local food writer, so we decided to give Mirchi a chance.We dined in and that was our biggest mistake. The food isn't excellent, but the dine-in experience is pretty terrible. If you are going to get food from Mirchi (which I don't recommend), I strongly recommend getting takeout.Previous reviews mention a need for better "ambience". I presumed that meant dated decor. Actually, the dining area was unclean, as were the utensils and plates brought to us to serve/eat with. So, yes, they could update the decor -- but MORE IMPORTANTLY, they should offer dine-in patrons clean tables to eat at (rather than wiping off the tables while you are seated, flinging the last patron's crumbs onto your clothing) and clean utensils to dine with.There are no menus. There are pictures of food behind the register and no prices listed.We were told there was lamb (and ordered lamb korma) but were served mutton. (It's fine if all you have is mutton -- but call it mutton korma.) The mutton had lots of bones and fat and not much in the way of meat.The food was passable, but the lack of cleanliness in the restaurant made us lose our appetite and not be able to finish our meal.

Well, at first I couldn't find it. It's kind of hidden and behind the jack in the box. I wish I wouldn't have went to the restroom when I first got there because it was filthy with some bugs on the floor I didn't want to look because I can just guess what they were. Anyway it kind of turned my stomach. I ordered a whole bunch of food to take home. I couldn't eat it that night. But the next day I got the courage too. The beef Nahari, paneer and chicken masala's were so good. Some of the best food comes from restaurants like that. The lady was so nice I think she owned the place. Price was good, I'll be back.

I love this place for takeout. Food is excellent and prices are reasonable.I usually order the Lamb Korma and Lamb Biryani. Both are seasoned well and tastes fresh made to order.I wish this place had a better dine-in ambiance. It's almost always empty and does not have a good vibe.

Went for Iftar buffet, was surprised to see many items for 16$ only. Biryani, Nihari, karahi Chicken all were good and tasty. They couldn't keep up with refills of Lassi and juices that's why took away 1 star. Overall very satisfied with the food and the price.

great chicken masala and the bread was delightly made hot and ready for my taste buds

They don't even open on time or answer phone. Terrible I came this far and they were still closed., door hours are 11 to 10 online hours are at 12. I came at 12 they were still closed on Saturday.

Food was good specially paya was tasty, Need some renovations in restaurant so customers feel good and comfortable

I doubt if they are Pakistani or Indian. Lots of choices for food. Small place, and a depressing parking lot. Food is average.
