“ Service was much better than other reviews indicated. I dropped by the restaurant, placed my takeout order and it was ready in less than 15 minutes. The Chicken Tiki Marsala was great. I also loved the Samosas. We also had some Naan and Chicken Madras. See pics. ”
“ I’ve been coming here for years and the food is consistently top notch — fresh, bright, and delicious. The owners are the sweetest people and the type that remember your name after your second visit. They’ll treat you like family. One of my favorites in Madison. ”
“ Fantastic first time at this Indian Nepali Restaurant. They have a lunch buffet that offers a variety of options. The food was amazing. Plus the staff here is very polite and kind. You'll be seeing more of us around. ”
“ I used to go here back when they were off State St., and after moving to a much more spacious location, the food is as good as ever! My absolute favorite Indian spot in Madison, and the best part, they still have a lunch buffet! ”
“ Mirch is hands-down the best Indian food I’ve ever had. My partner and I come here often for special events and date nights. ... ”
“ Awesome daily Indian lunch buffet on Madison west side! Met my friend from India there for lunch as to get his take and he enjoyed it too, and was happy for the vegetarian options. Me being a carnivore American loved everything, from the chicken tiki masala to the mimosas that were top notch. Everything was fresh and abundant. Read a couple lesser reviews and obvious these peeps are clueless or just think too highly of themselves, ha. Mirch has a spicy chicken dish which was like an Indian kung pao, spicy and so good. The noodle dish was fantastic. Indian white rice and also a yummy tomato rice. Lots of other delicious dishes as well. Plenty to choose from, plenty of food, they were not low on anything, loved the naan and chutneys. Look, I love Swagat, Swad, Maharana, but for the price and the quality, combined with the selection, Mirch Masala rocked it! ”
“ The lunch buffet was awesome and only 15, which is cheaper than a fair portion of the menu. Everything I tried at the buffet was delicious, especially their desserts. Definitely got my fill and would love to go back. The waitress was quite slow, which was particularly annoying since we were pretty much the only people there. ”
“ Went for an early easter dinner. Friendliest staff, amazing food. And good price. A little gem hidden away. I had goat biriani. My mother had an eggplant dish. And my boyfriend had the classic butter chicken. All were amazing. The ginger Naan was unique and amazing. It's well worth a visit! ”
