What a hidden gem right in the heart of cap hill! The food and service was delicious. Everything was freshly made and tasty. We got many things to share for dinner including the tikki masala, seekh kabab, the mixed appetizer plate and the garlic naan. The chai was hot and soothing. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for some great Indian food and service that makes you feel like you're enjoying dinner at a family friend's home. Will be back! read more

I hadn't been here in about a year and it was much better than. I ordered a butter chicken cause it's been a minute and I had the jonesing. I was looking forward to this meal so much that when I finally tasted it, the disappointment was overwhelming. $100 bucks says they have cans of Campbell's tomato bisque they put some turmeric in and call it good. Not buttery, nor creamy, just salty tomato bisque. The service was great. Nice guys in there. They just can't cook a butter chicken and since that's so simple, I can't trust them to be much better with other curries. I don't recommend them. read more

The tandoori chicken is tikka marsala were both really good. The staff are very friendly and full of character. With great food and appreciative staff, I'll certainly be back! read more

3.5 stars for Mirch Masala. Overall it was a fine experience. Including tax you pay just a touch under $10 for a lunch buffet that comes with fresh Naan bread. I came in on a Tuesday and the place was near empty. Within a few minutes I was the only one in the entire restaurant which I found slightly odd for the lunch hour. The buffet lunch was A-OK. The salad bar was nice and had fresh items including some fruit. Tandoori Chicken was fairly flavorful as was the Tikka Masala. The Saag was lacking something and just tasted like straight up spinach. The Naan came out fresh to the table which was awesome. It was a bit more thin and crispy than I'm used to but still decent. A couple mixed veggie dishes and some chicken curry that was a touch iffy. All in all it was a decent quick meal. PROS: Buffet under $10 Fresh Naan Both meat and veggie options Staff overall friendly Overall OK food CONS: Water never got refilled Plates never got taken away Some dishes lacked flavor read more

Yup the food is good. The buffet is a good value, the Butter Chicken is one of the best in town. But holy cow(pun intended) the service here is.... well...I'm not sure there is any service here actually. For lunch You'll probably be greeted at the door, seated, have someone pour water(maybe) and then not see a soul until you pay your bill. Dinner isn't much better, if you're lucky maybe the server won't be outright surly, if you're really lucky they may even take your drink order and if you're super dooper really lucky they'll even bring you your drink before you're done eating. read more

Wonderful dinner tonight. Service was great, food just as good. Generous wine pour. Definitely will be back. Worth dining in.

I like the carry out lunch buffet option that goes by weight! I got the perfect amount of food. No more no less. We will go back when we are hungrier to get the full experience but here are my thoughts on the food in the buffet. -Butter chicken: Very good and flavorful -Vegetable Masala: Also good. I liked the sauce in the butter chicken the most. -Pakora: Very flavorful. We were able to get some when it was fresh. Downside to buffet style is that fried foods don't hold up well. read more

This is my go to Indian delivery place. We've been eating here for years. Fave dishes are saag paneer and chicken vindaloo. Love this place.

The food is amazing and the service is Awesome. I will recommend every people inside Seattle or outside Seattle. read more

Family-owned and centrally located, this is probably the best Indian on Capitol Hill. (Okay, that's probably not saying much as the Indian food selection on the Hill is rather limited, but bear with me here.) The decor is rather 'generic Nice Indian Restaurant' but it's clean and just slightly upscale with enough 'Nice' touches. The prices are slightly higher than average, which is understandable given the location. Rent can't be cheap on the strip! However, the service is great and the food is really wonderful. The woman who's served us both times was personable and genuinely friendly, and the food came out promptly, the water was refilled as needed and the bill came on time. Garlic naan is delicious. Samosas are good, butter chicken is delicious. We've ordered the tandoori shrimp twice, and the first time it was mind-blowingly good and the second time it was kind of bland. Chalked it up to an off night. Everything else has been consistently solid. As Yelp puts it, 'Yay! I'm a fan'. read more

The food was so delicious! I got the chana masala and it was perfectly spiced. The naan was perfection, fluffy on top with a little crisp at the bottom. It's fresh made so it's piping hot when you get it. The staff is very kind! Definitely will be coming back as a regular (: read more

Have eaten here so many times that honestly it doesnt feel like eating out when i eat here. I remember at one point i was eating Biryani bi weekly here. The food overall is definitely above average. The lunch buffets are solid and value for money. They have pakoras, tandoori chicken, kheer/gulab jamuns , couple of non vegetarians and vegetarian currys.I in particular enjoy the kheer. I have also done take-outs multiple time and love that its super quick(less than 15 mins). The place is medium sized and the vibe inside is pretty decent with soft indian music playing. The price point is pretty good and overall a great value for money place. Tip: Directly call the restaurant for takeouts. read more

Absolutely amazing food. Large portions for the price and some of the best food I've had in Seattle. Great people and customer service. Got the appetizer platter thing and one of the Marsala entree's and all of it was delicious. Paid $32 on Uber eats and as a big eater myself, this is first time I've gotten two full meals worth of food for the price of one. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Initially I saw the Yelp reviews for this place and decided to give it a try. It was in a decent location and the prices looked fair. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately and asked if we were interested in buffet or to see a menu. We briefly looked at the buffet and decided to go with that option. They had an average selection of food, but not too large. I grabbed naan, butter chicken, and tandoori chicken. The naan was totally dry, at one point probably fresh however not at this point. After we had just finished our first plate, our waiter came over to let us know the buffet was over.. it would have been nice to know before he had asked if we wanted to do buffet or the menu. Probably why everything was so dry/old. It was only 1pm too. I don't think I would go back to this place, especially not for the buffet. read more

Very rude staff. Do not care at all. And have attitudes. The driver marked my order as delivered, but did not deliver the food. He made no attempt at contacting me. No text, no phone, nothing. I contacted the restaurant and they literally told me they did not care. Grubhub claimed that the driver contacted me but could not provide any evidence. I will never use grub hud and I will never eat at this restaurant again. read more

Delicious! They are inclusive to vegetarians/vegan. Although their menu says vegetables or tofu, you can ask for both and they accommodate without issue. The garlic naan is a little dry, I would skip next time. But the curries, butter, and tiki masala are amazing!!!! The Vegetarian appetizer platter is also super fun and the sauces are incredible. read more

This place is so bomb. The service is what you would expect from this restaurant. They thrive to serve good food and make sure you have a good time read more

Great food and service. Very polite and helpful. We will go back again the next time we are in Seattle

This review is for delivery only: Delivery service: on time based on grubhub's delivery estimation Accuracy: ok. I've ordered from here twice. My first order was 100% accurate, my second order only one of my two items was correct. Food: warm on arrival. More importantly, very flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend the shahi paneer or saag paneer. Price: totally reasonable delivery fees and food pricing, especially considering you can easily get two meals out of one dish All in all, will definitely order from here again! read more

My aloomattar sucked. It was super watery. I asked for extra spice and they gave me NO SPICE! Just awful.

I've only ordered take out from here. The food is delicious and portions are big. Friendly staff and I appreciated them packing utensils that included paper plates. This is def my go to for Indian cuisine. read more

Mirch Masala never disappoints. I've never eaten in, but have ordered delivery countless times before and during covid. The food is always hot, well packaged, the portions are large, and I always have leftovers (that reheat well). Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan are some of our go-to, and also have some of the best Vegetable Samosas in town! Will be ordering from Mirch Masala many more times. read more

Decent food but I dont think it is my go to place. I ordered panner tikka masala, panner tikka sizzler, chaat, and kulcha paratha from uber eats. They did not give chutney with the paneer tikka which made it very bland. Tikka masala curry was pretty average. Kulcha paratha and the chaat was decent but chaat was not as good as the one you get at bombay burger or chaat house. read more

We order from Mirch Masala for lunch almost every day via MealPal - food is always good and fast and customized for our different spice levels ! Saag paneer and shahi paneer are great ! Raj is very helpful read more

The food was delicious. The service was quick and responsive. We decided to dine in and the food came out within 10 minutes of ordering!

I got the Goa Coconut Curry with chicken and Lassi. Wow. The lassl is basically a mango smoothie. It is relentless it's pure fresh mango and creaminess. The curry was made to perfect with bold savory flavors and a deep complexity combining with the very well balanced coconut. All the folks who work there have been polite, nice, and punctual. I highly recommend this restaurant, drink, and dish. read more

Yummy yummy yummy in my tummy. The nicest servers I've ever had, real hearts of gold, their eyes shine with light!

Great food for the price. We order from here regularly. Everything is packaged well for pick up. Comes hot and ready to serve.

order through grubhub. Got 3 containers and they're all cold from being refrigerated, and the rice is all soggy and stuck together. Definitely not fresh food. read more

These Guys Get It Dining room is open, clean with ample seating and not crowded. Food is good with ample portions. When my mask broke, I offered to buy one, and they gave me one refusing any fee. They were happy to let customers use the rest room and wanted all of us to be glad we came there. As the fast on their feet team served us, they also kept up with takeout orders, and a healthy stream of those customers were each obviously happy with what they got. A few years back I tried this place, under previous management, and remembered only that I didn't want to go back. If you haven't tried them recently, give the new team a chance to show what they can do. read more

Some time during my Yelping adventures, I decided that I was going to visit all the Indian lunch buffets I could find. I had never been to one I didn't like, and that trend seemed to be continuing. Mirch Masala on Broadway had always caught my eye; their lunch buffet goes from 11 AM to 3 PM, and I'm never in the area at that time! I finally just decided to settle down and try one of their dinner entrees. Can't be too much different from their lunch offerings, right? I ordered a lamb goan curry and it came to my table after a seven-minute wait. While I'm no stranger to how Indian cuisine tends to involve a lot of rice and curry, I like how this restaurant presents these items. The basmati rice comes in a metal bowl, and the curry also comes in a metal bowl heated by a small fire underneath. I thought that was a nice touch; they're making an effort to keep the curry warm. Also, I asked for a four-star level of spiciness in my curry, and they nailed that perfectly! Kudos to the chef for either being an expert or able to read my mind. Mixing the curry with the rice was a real pleasure. There was a perfect ratio of the two, and I didn't have to try to make them balanced. I would have preferred more lamb pieces in the curry, though. They were good, but that's precisely the reason I wanted more lamb pieces! I always find curry better when the meat isn't so scarce. The waitress asked me whether I wanted any naan, and I said yes. I ordered a garlic naan, and while it was very good, it also wasn't free. I had unknowingly added $2.95 to my bill by doing so, and I had assumed it was included because all my Indian lunch buffet visits have had the naan come with the meal. I think they should have told me the price as I was ordering it, but I suppose it's my own fault for not checking the menu or asking. I was really tired that evening, so sue me. Because the lamb goan curry had left me so full, I asked for a to-go box for my leftover garlic naan. They handed me a small cardboard box. For a big hunk of bread. Oh well. At least I was able to get something. Maybe I just came at the wrong time, because I get the feeling that I would have had a better dining experience if I'd come for their lunch buffet instead. read more

Love the food, especially the Tikka Masala and the bread is fantastic Service is always great too read more

This was my third visit, and I got the tandoori chicken again. This time the vegetables that came with it were amazing! The carrots and potatoes were just the right texture; tender yet still firm. I think this is probably the first time I've ever actually liked cooked carrots. There was also something I didn't recognize (maybe artichoke?) that was very good; green peppers; and onions. The chicken was a little dry this time, but it was still perfectly spiced. The rice was an excellent complement to the slightly spicy food. The naan tasted a little like Bisquick, which was unusual, but it was still doughy, crispy, and delicious. Mirch Masala may not be a perfect 10, but it's still worth coming to. read more

This is my go-to spot in Cap Hill! The food is always fresh and consistent. I order delivery and it's always been a quick service. I am vegetarian and the Mattar Peneer is my favorite! read more

Fast service and delicious! My favorite go to carry out Indian spot! The mint naan is

Great food. I've always picked up curbside, with no issues. Last week I made a reservation to sit inside at the table and eat. There were no customers at the restaurant and the waiter seemed a bit confused. However, I did call prior to arrival to make sure that they serve dine in. (We can't eat in the car with a three year old.) Food was great, but took forever for us to checkout, since they had at least 20 take out orders and they were swamped. read more

This place has no regard for current WA state COVID protocols. Walked right in without being asked for vaxx card. Staff members not wearing masks properly and our server had no mask on at all. Not cool. My friend was not comfortable with this lack of oversight, so we left. Never got to even try their food, which was a bummer. :( read more

Watered down sauce, lacking spices I'd expect, sauces I'd expect rich were not that rich. A tomato-based sauce just tasted like watered-down tomato sauce where normally there'd be many other ingredients... This was arguably Indian food. The only redeeming factor was the dishes resembled the correct dishes visually. I ordered online from this restaurant. This was a mistake. Store bought frozen Indian food from trader joes would have been a much better option than this ... read more

We had two delicious takeout experiences. I ordered threes days worth of food both times with many different dishes each time, and I never had any issues. Lots of great flavors! And the samosa chaat was even delicious despite how that's hard to do right in delivery in my experience. I love the menu variety. read more

Mohammad was very nice and helpful as our server. The food was great. I really liked the paratha and mushroom matter. Chai tea was quite delicious. The overall look of the restaurant was contemporary and clean. Nice low lighting. Clean tables and excellent customer service. Thank you guys! Keep up the good work read more
