I dined at Mirchi with 3 friends. We all thought the food, service and ambiance was excellent. We really appreciated the quiet atmosphere -- You can have a normal conversation in their beautiful dining room. No need to shout above the noise as it is in so many places these days. read more

I love the ambiance here! White linen tablecloths, deep blue velvet chairs, crown molding, dramatic light fixtures, a recessed eating nook alongside the bar, & great Indian music. The menu is allergy-friendly, with dishes clearly labeled with allergens and there were so many DF options. I had the most amazingly delicate lamb korma...which I can't normally get elsewhere because of cream but they made it with coconut milk...bless them! Best I've had anywhere. I ordered the veggie samosa, which I forgot to request "mild," so it was a tad spicy for my palate. It was deliciously/expertly spiced nonetheless, and I ate the whole thing...nose running. ;-) If you're a spice wimp like me, just remember to ask for it mild. Also highly recommend the watermelon non-alcoholic drink that was like a mojito with fresh mint! Great, friendly service...even at 4:19...when they were almost closed, at the end of a long shift. This will be my new home to Indian restaurant in the area. Free parking right out front. read more

The food was pretty good so if you want to do takeout, you're safe. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. The waitress brought us menus and left us to decide. She came back when we were ready to order. We ordered two appetizers, three meals, and three cocktails. Apparently they don't know how to make an old fashioned according to the waitress. She never brought us any water. We received our apps fairly quickly (which were delicious). About halfway through the apps, one meal arrived. (Meals were delivered my kitchen staff.) Still no cocktails or water. About 15 minutes later, another meal arrived. We ended up asking the bus boy for a glass of water. Another 15 minutes go by and the third meal was finally delivered. We called the waitress over and had to ask for the cocktails we ordered when we arrived. She went over to the bar and made them herself. Again, the food is good but, we won't be back. read more

We loved the authentic food and the beautiful decor! We ordered the veggie samosas, chicken 65, and chicken curry with rice and butter naan. Everything was delicious, the chicken was so tender, and the spices were perfection! Will definitely go back and highly recommend!! read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful and incredibly clean. We got the veggie samosas, chana masala, chicken chettinaad, roti, and garlic naan. Absolutely delicious!!! I wanted to lick the plate. Our server was attentive and kind. Will definitely be returning! read more

Lower than average taste. We ordere hakka noodles, taste was below par. Paneer curry was good. On a monday of long weekend the whole place was 100% empty, not a single table occupied may be that tells about a taste. Okay for curries but overall below par taste. read more

Mirchi Indian Cuisine - Veg Hakka Noodles - Indian Near Me - Franklin, Massachusetts

Fantastic fresh and well presented food everything was delicious and was quickly prepared. I'm already looking forward to going back. The restaurant is beautiful, new and updated, looks amazing but feels empty. If I could suggest having some music on, lighting your beautiful fireplace, candles the tables, facilitating the empty bar as a tea/coffee, dessert bar or possibly BYOB. With something new and cozier I think this could be a really busy space. But regardless, I'm coming back for more delicious food. read more

The food is excellent and ambiance is so good and good place for go to with family and friends. The service is so good.

Yikes Most of the time, this place is amazing! Food is great and the spice is spot on. Staff is really nice too. That's why I gave 3 stars. But sadly, the last 2 times I ordered from there the food was so salty, I actually couldn't eat it. And worse...the last time I ordered, they gave me a piece of chocolate cake that was covered in mold. I called to let them know to check their stock (again they're nice people). I'll give it a little time and then try them again. read more

We tried the garlic naan, cauliflower 65, chicken tikka masala, and butter chicken via take out. We found it all very average and with small portion sizes. The naan was decent albeit thin and the cauliflower 65 was soggy with ok flavor. We expected more spice but found it lacking. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala tasted the exact same except the chicken tikka masala was far less tender and room temperature. I'm pretty sure they just use the same sauce but cook the chicken differently. Curry House is hands down better for flavor, quality, and quantity if you're looking to enjoy Indian food in Franklin. read more

Excellent South Indian cuisine. We had lamb and chicken dishes, naan and lassi - the portions are generous and the service is courteous and attentive. We would be happy to come again and to bring friends. read more

I tried their takeout last night for the first time. I ordered the chicken tiki masala and the garlic nan bread. HOLY COW! The taste was AMAZING! Good portion size, I had leftovers for lunch the next day. The flavor of the chicken masala was incredible- rich, buttery, a perfect amount of spice to it. I will definitely try their other dishes next time we order out read more

Ordered takeout through GrubHub. Delivered on time and still hot (temperature). The foot was excellent, if a bit more spicy than the other Indian restaurant in town, at least by default. Be sure to emphasize Mild when ordering if you're not up for some spice. Will definitely try again in the future. read more

On our only visit we were seated promptly. the decor is very nice. We ordered samosas, two entrees (one for each diner) and nan to share. The samosas were good. One entree was then served to the wrong diner and the nan also placed in front of that same diner as if there was only one person at the table. We explained that this entree should go to the other diner and assumed the other entree would be right along because it was obvious that one person had no food. After a significant wait we hailed a server and asked about the biryani I had ordered. They must have forgotten it because they said to wait 5 minutes. It took much longer than 5 minutes before the biryani came out and the first diner had already finished his meal. No apology. No excuses. No explanation. We asked for the biryani to be wrapped to take out. Also, although the restaurant early on this weeknight was otherwise empty, we were seated right next to a large, noisy party. read more

We love this place, the flavors are great and taste authentic. Unfortunately I don't know if we will be going back as its a bit pricey and they're heavy on the rice and short on the meat. All their meat dishes are half sauce, and not enough meat to go around. read more

5 stars because I love chettinad dishes and they seem like a rarity in many Indian restaurants in MA, but of course some dishes will be hit or miss. And I did find hair in my mango lassi. - The paneer chettinad is delicious. I hope they add an egg version as well. - paneer chili is good. Has a nick kick and I love the julienned vegetables that come with it. - Gobi Manchurian - delicious - Gobi 65 - not the biggest fan. It was soggy by the time I got it so maybe if I ate in restaurant it would be different. But the batter seemed to still be on the cauliflower and not fried on like I've seen with other gobi 65. I could taste and feel the grainyness of the batter. Wasn't a fan of that. Taste ok. Texture off. - Paneer 65 - same as the gobi. Not a fan. - Hair in my mango lassi. I am the personal belief that most food we get in restaurants has hair since hair nets aren't always a requirement, I just tend to hyper analyze all my food before consumption. - Samosas great. Nice and crispy. Nice size too. I hate when they're too big and everything falls out after you bite into it. Nice tamarind chutney as well. read more

We found this food to be expeceptional. It was so fresh and the flavors just jumped out without being overly spicy or hot. Great service and nicely decorated. Here's the hidden jem, if you flip the menu over, you'll find a "mediterranean" menu. In other words pizza, pasta and hamburgers for those that don't like Indian food (maybe your kids). Everybody wins here. read more

This will be our new go to Indian place. Excellent just the right amount of spice. I recommend the Palak Paneer and the other vegetarian dishes they are all excellent. Nice inside this place as well can't wait to dine in next year some time. read more

Three and a half stars- The food was decent, We liked the Cauliflower manchurian and garlic Naan (huge!) , the samosa and malai kofta were ok. The paneer 65 was basically paneer with cayenne pepper and oil! I wouldn't mind giving this place another chance, especially since it's a local business and we don't have many Indian restaurants in the area read more

Food is delicious and fresh! Authenticity and kindness, from food and servers I wish there was more music to set the mood but if we are talking food, setting, and servers - it was all very lovely read more

I cannot believe this place does not have more reviews. Got delivery via GrubHub this evening. Food was on time, piping hot, and looked amazing. It tasted even better. I got the vegetable samosas, chili chicken (so good and spicy), palak paneer (super flavorful), garlic and basil naan, and a mango lassi. This is gonna be my new go-to spot! Absolutely delicious and when I called to thank the restaurant for such an amazing meal, the person on the phone was gracious and thankful. Since moving out this way, I have not been blown away by any restaurants (especially with such a small pool of exciting cuisines) but this place deserves all 5 stars. read more

This place was fantastic. I ordered from here and got the vegetable tempura type appetizer and it was different than what I've had before so I really liked it. I also got palak paneer which was fantastic. I'm really glad that it wasn't overly hot. The only thing I would recommend is that they tell you on the website what food comes with rice. I didn't know the palak paneer came with rice so I ended up ordering a side of it as well. read more

Great ambiance and very tasty food. Service is also very fast. I definitely recommend this place

Definitely give it a try. Their food is good and full of great flavor. Finally they have eased the process of online order. It was definitely needed.I think that portions have also gotten better for the price. read more

Ordered chicken tikka masala, chicken korma and butter naan. The chicken was tough, overcooked in both dishes. The naan was dry and the spice was over the top and I like spice and regularly have Indian food. Would not recommend which is too bad as I was hopeful to find good Indian in Franklin... read more

We ordered for the first time today and it was delicious. First let me say that the staff is very friendly. There was some confusion with our order pick - up time and they phoned to confirm the tile we wished to pick it up. Very courteous and attentive. We ordered only vegetation items (aloo gobi, chana masala, vegetable biryani, and the garlic naan). It was all incredibly tasty. Portions aren't huge, but enough. Definitely give this little place a try - you will enjoy the flavors. read more

For pickup orders you may wait 10, 20 , 30 minutes extra even after getting a notice the order is ready. When you go inside you might not find an employee and have to go find them. Until they get it together I'm staying away. read more

Best Indian food for miles and miles and miles. We are so lucky to have this in the heart of Franklin. Super consistent! Always delicious. Thank you! read more

Excellent quality and selections for Indian cuisine. Take-out service (pick-up) was on time and very well done. Would definitely return for either sit-down or take-out. Recommended! read more

Ordered food for family gathering. Biryani was basically a puliogare mix. There was no raita for biryani. Gobi 65 was raw. I can literally see the powder on top of biryani rice. The quantity is very less. When called to the restaurant, the management was very rude. They hang up the call on my face. When i called again and asked for a manager, the person was not willing to transfer my call and neither was he disclosing his name. Worst experience. People who love authentic indian food, better dont get food from here. read more

I went this past Sunday for the 1st time & couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised, the atmosphere was bright modern & clean. The staff very pleasant but it's the food that is the real star. Everything was cooked to order, came out piping hot & absolutely delicious. A must try if you are in the area read more

Their Indian menu is great, but the Mediterranean was terrible. after getting to know the Indian selections well we thought we'd try the Mediterranean. It was stale and bad and we threw it out. For this reason we haven't been back in quite a long time read more

The food at Mirchi is delicious and the staff very friendly. Cannot go here without ordering the chicken tikka masala and the samosas, both are delicious and the best in the area by far! Portions are very generous and make for great leftovers. Would highly recommend! read more

We were heading to Chinese next door but went here instead though not many folks in very spacious place. Lamb Saag very tender. Tasty and generous portion. Paneer Chatinde very flavorful. Nice, clean, updated bathrooms, always a bonus. read more

We've had take out from this restaurant a few times and the food is always good. The take out experience this last time was horrible. Put an order in two hours ahead of time for a 7:00 pm pickup, and the order wasn't ready until 7:45. Couldn't get a clear idea of why there was a delay. Also told order would be completed in 10 minutes and it wasn't. Would have been faster to order at the last minute. They made no effort to make up for this delay and said they could do something our next order. There will be no next order read more
