We were visiting the area and my 12 year old asked for Indian food. I checked yelp, and decided on Mirchi. What a pleasant surprise! Lovely ambiance inside, attentive service, and a constant line of locals picking up their to go orders. Clearly this is a popular place! There was an equal amount of people that looked if Indian decent as patrons, as well as a mix of other ethnicities. We are super caucasian, and can't handle a lot of spice- but the chef was kind enough to make mild versions for us. (Bless them!!!) We started with the vegetable samosas which arrived with a lovely trio of sauces/ a sweet & spicy tamarind, a mint and some really delicious pickled carrots and spicy peppers. Sooo yummy! My husband and son shared the house dinner combo of some kind of tandoori chicken (that arrived sizzling on a beautiful skillet plate of onions, peppers and lemon wedges- how creative and what a presentation!) Also included: an incredible rice dish, chicken tikka masala, spinach cheese dish, that they both loved. The dinner was for 2, so I ordered an extra portion of chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. I didn't realize that the potion size was big enough for the 3 of us to share the dinner for 2. We had so much to take back to the hotel with us. The chicken was so fresh, I was really impressed with the flavors and how clean everything tasted. My husband had a mango lassi, my son a Shirley temple, and I stuck with a lovely Pellegrino. When I tell you this was the BEST Indian food I've ever tasted, I am not kidding. We are from the bay area, and have tried many restaurants. I wish I lived closer/ I would eat here at least once a week. I couldn't believe how delicious the rice was- just alone! The spices and aromatics were so enticing. I just kept telling the server how amazing the food was. It was such a treat to have such a wonderful experience while out of town. I really hope you try Mirchi! We loved it!

I can't say enough great things about Mirchi Indian Cuisine! I order from them at least three times a week, and every single time, the food is nothing short of spectacular. From the rich, aromatic curries to the perfectly baked naan, every dish bursts with authentic flavors that transport me straight to India. Their Butter Chicken is hands down the best I've ever had--creamy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Beyond the food, their service is exceptional. The staff is always warm, friendly, and accommodating, ensuring every order is perfect. Delivery is fast, and the food always arrives hot and fresh. If you're in Newbury and craving authentic Indian cuisine, Mirchi is THE place to go. Trust me--you'll be hooked after just one bite!

Such a good lunch! And enough food for 2 more meals, honestly. I got saag paneer (sorry for the awful pic, lol). My mom got lamb korma. They kindly fulfilled her request for added vegetables. Both dishes are delicious. She asked for mild, and the dish is definitely mild. Lots of other things on the menu which I'll be happy to try. Oh, the milk tea is delicious, too!

The ambiance of the restaurant looks like the perfect date night spot. We took food out because we're always down to have Indian food (it's one of our favorite foods). They have lunch specials which is what motivated us to try it because their regular menu is on the pricier side for us, personally. The lunch specials were small portions, like 30 percent less food than we're used to from our local Indian spot that offers a lunch special for less money. This lunch special also came with only half a piece of naan, which was disappointing. We are used to (2) full pieces of garlic naan with the place near us. Only half a piece of naan and small portions seemed like it just wasn't enough food for $31 for two people to have lunch. The food tasted fine and was definitely filling. Maybe if they did some kind of other special we would return again. Thanks!

Updating my reviews to share some news .... Mirchi now has a beer and wine license :) I had a wonderful dinner with my friend and the owner was kind enough to let me know . I did not have a glass tonight or a beer but good to know . I did however indulge in a chicken tikka masala spice level HOT. This time though .. I was dying from spice level and the owner noticed. He offered to remake my dish . So kind !!!! Also had garlic naan and rice . Always a treat to stop by . Beautiful dim lighting , soft music and a super clean space . My friend loved the food so much she purchased dinner for her entire family .

This is our go to Indian restaurant! Always great every time. We ordered our usual Chicken Tikka Masala medium, garlic Nan, Tandoori chicken, and Aloo Gobi. Delicious! Service is excellent.

Came a few weeks ago and it was my first time trying makhni and I'm STILL thinking about it. I tried the fish makhni, the fish was tender and the sauce was so good. I could eat just that with garlic naan or the parathi and be satisfied. I also tried the chicken tikka and started dinner with the sampler platter which I recommend. The restaurant has booths and lots of seating, there was no wait for a dinner on a weekday. All the servers were really nice and food came out quickly.

I liked the food a lot. Good but also quick. I got vegetable masala, sagh paneer, rice, garlic and plain naan. As well as pistachio ice cream. Everything to go. If you eat there the tables(all booths) look very clean. The music is pleasant. The guy whom helped me was very kind and accommodating. I bet the ambiance is nice. I recommend this place. It's surprisingly good. The ice cream is small but really good and homemade. It puts an exclamation point on your meal. Put a smile on my face.

Some of the best Indian food I've ever had in my life! The samosas are HUGE, one order and split it. We were recommended the fried cauliflower as an app and it was phenomenal. Kind of tasted like orange chicken. Had butter chicken, also delicious. The chicken Sagh (spinach) first time trying and also good. The mango lassi was perfectly creamy and sweet! Rice is a double portion so don't over order like we did.. Garlic naan was good but not incredible. Overall one of my favorite Indian meals I've ever had! Great service and recommendations

Absolutely loved it! We had the chicken Tikka biryani which was great. Chicken vindaloo, the chicken was so tender. We also tried one of the stuffed naans that tasted like samosas and was so good. My husband ordered a shrimp appetizer that he enjoyed. And we shared a Mango Lasse which was good. Overall we loved the food here. It's clean on the inside. The staff is attentive. We will return.
