"Best Food"
Janet
November 2011 — "I loved their delicious Pakistani food, very well cooked and served. Their freshly baked naans are phenominal. Their tika masala, kabab, haleem and paya masal are my favourites.
I have had a sit-down meal, lunch buffet and also take-away on several occasions from both their outlets in Calgary.

"Filling and convenient to find"
Elaine
July 2011 — "This restaurant has a great selection of Indian food including vegetarian and beef curry, salad, butter chicken and flavourful rice. Nothing was too spicy for me and my friend and I were full off of two curries, rice, salad and naan-which was all under 20 dollars. This restaurant was small and gets hot in the summer time because of the open kitchen. We sat in to eat but next time I would suggest take out as the service was a little slow and the restaurant was quite hot. However, the food was great. We were stuffed by the end of our meal and the price is definitely reasonable. The food had a lot of different spices and I found that it was not that greasy. Our meal also came with some veggies and tasty dressing. I really enjoyed my meal here. For good priced and tasty Indian food, Mirchi is the place to go!"

"Quality Pakistani Cuisine"Henry
May 2011 — "I had to visit this unique Pakistani restaurant the past weekend and was very pleasantly surprised. It is located centrally in downtown Calgary on the corner of 12th Ave and 8th Street just across the street from the Safeway. It is a small storefront but the large Mirchi sign made it easy to find. The restaurant itself is also quite small and there is only space for about 5 or 6 tables. It is not suited for fine dining but rather for take outs and deliveries. They specialize in various curries, naan, and other Pakistani and Indian specialties. I tried their curry combo which includes one meat and one vegetable curry and also comes with a side or either naan bread or basmati rice. Both curries were rich and flavorful and I chose the rice option which went well with the curries. A salad also came with my meal which was a nice appetizer. Overall this restaurant offers very good value for quality Pakistani cuisine."

"Fair. Improvement Needed"
TriniYYC
September 2009 — "Generally an interesting change. Not the best Biryani or curry had, but satisfied with the different taste. Improvement in Customer service needed however. Worth the visit if you're in the downtown area."

"Good Quality and a Great Price"
Michael
October 2008 — "Living in Calgary I have become accustomed to paying too much for very mediocre food. That is why I was so surprised by Mirchi. When I first saw it, across the street from the Safeway on 8th, I incorrectly thought it was just another Shawarma place.
The food at Mirchi is better than 80% of the East Indian restaurants I have eaten at in Calgary, the Kabob was excellent, maybe a little too salty, the Dahl was very good, and the Chicken Tika was great.
They certainly give you a large enough portion, and although it's a very small place which seems to want to cater to takeout primarily, the people working behind the register are really nice. I should also mention that the Kitchen is visible to the customers so they keep it clean.
To summarize, Mirichi is on par, if not superior to a lot of the Indian restaurants in the area where the quality of food is concerned. Service is friendly, but it's mostly a takeout kind of place, so don't expect much in that department. Finally Mirchi's prices are very low compared to other restaurants in the area. You can easily feed two people for under $30.00.
If your not looking to spend a fortune, and your craving something spicy, Mirchi is the place.
