Since my first review, we have actually tried to eat here a couple times during lunch hour when they are supposed to be open and found the place locked and empty... not sure if they're not keeping consistent hours for some reason as I still see other new reviews but it is disheartening. read more

The food was ok. Very expensive for the proportions. Had good taste and flavoring. Th dish was very hot.

On the way from New Hampshire to CT we wanted to stop and get some Indian food on a weekday afternoon and our search led us here. Their extensive menu impressed us. We were super hungry and ended up ordering a lot of food. Everything from appetizers, curries and biriyani tasted delicious. Gutivankaya (eggplant curry) was my favorite. They are reasonably priced too. People were very friendly. I am sure we will be back next time when we are in the area. read more

Prob go again. Watch your butt. Update went again, and got basically some sort of chicken masala that wasn't that great. You also have to bring your own water bottle otherwise you're drinking bottled water. Third time was gassy and smelly afterwards. Although that *might have* been the hot dog I had for lunch. It smelled more like hot dog. (Shrug) read more

The food and service are refreshingly awesome compared to other Indian restaurants in the region. Great value for money with high quality and consistency. Once you eat here, you'll probably not go elsewhere. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!! read more

We were going back to our home in NJ from Maine and passing through Marlborough, it was dinner time and we were craving Indian food after 5 days of having other cuisines. googled and found this - just 10 min detour it's huge, but at first glance looked empty... not sure what their arrangements are... though we got the table but waited for a period for 'acknowledge we were there-- server to come-- place the order -- food on the table - it was too much (50 minutes) and finishing the food - 5 minutes :D. we asked the server -hey can we have another naan - and he honestly replied- 'sir it will take 8-10 minutes - and we ditched the idea... only 2 servers were handling 8-10 tables. anyway We ordered Goat fry Biryani - good taste Natukodi Curry - good Mirchi nation SPL Ginger chicken - go for it. something unique that you don't get in other Indian restaurants, just a suggestion - make the layer crispy - it was all soggy when it reached our table The food (4/5) was really good except for service (1.5/5), pls work on it. Also, The prices on their menu are incorrect (on the website). read more

Subpar food...Service was excellent. Would not return. Drinks are overpriced, small and didn't seem to have much liquor if any.

I went there for their weekend lunch buffet. Their buffet is located inside a room to your right. It was full house inside, so they sat me and my family to the main room. I have no complains about their food. Service and food were great, but their popular beverages and buffet items often run out. Also, keep in mind some customers do not have consideration of waiting their turns in line. I suggest to go and try this place, regardless. read more

This was my first time trying out this establishment and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The decor was average indian restaurant decor. Our waiter Narindra, was super friendly from the get-go and he didn't take long for us to order and bring us our food. We had ordered the following dishes: Tandoori roti, cheese Naan, ginger chicken, and paneer Tikka masala. I asked for my entrees to be medium spice and they were perfectly medium for my taste. The ginger chicken would have to be my favorite from everything that I had ordered. I think it would go best with an entree that has a sauce like we had ordered in my picture. This is because it is more of a dry dish but not dry like popcorn chicken or something. Overall, I would rate this whole experience a 5/5 and I would definitely return. read more

Hard place to review. They have a large take out clientele and over half were from the Indian subcontinent. Normally a good sign. I had the chicken vindaloo which is a tomato base curry very hot and served with potatoes. Well it had all the ingredients but was quite mild. Did they make it mild for the non-Indian clients? The garlic naan delicious and the rice your standard basmati rice. read more

I don't leave reviews often, but this was a truly bad dining experience. I eat Indian food a good amount, so I am quite familiar with it and know what good Indian food is. And this is not that. First off, the dishes are made with frozen vegetables. We ordered a 15$ vegetable dish which was a variety of pre frozen carrots, green beans, cauliflower, and peas. When I asked the server if they were fresh, he said yes, and denied they were ever frozen. I know they were frozen because I can easily tell the difference. (Soft, waterlogged vegetables with uniform carrot cuts, etc.). But instead of acknowledging that I was gas lit to believe they were indeed fresh. We ordered an aloo gobi that was basically a curry dish with potato in it (not what aloo gobi is). Also it had the frozen cauliflower. All their potato dishes had soft, mushy, bad tasting potato in it. Including the filling of the dosa and samosa. And they served our rice dish cold. Overall I would stay far away from this place read more

Ordered from here last night for delivery. They have a vegetarian section on their menu for both appetizers and entrees!!! There are SO MANY YUMMY options!!! It's nice to have a bit of variety instead of one vegetarian to app to order. We ordered the golkonda gobi 65. We also ordered the palak paneer, veggie dum biryani, garlic naan, and lassi. The gobi was AMAZING and frankly the best I've ever had. It's almost like a finger food, each cauliflower floret is covered in a fried and incredibly flavorful batter. You can literally pop those bad boys in your mouth even on the go: while driving, while shopping for black friday, or pouring your next drink. They're FANTASTIC. The palak paneer was tasty. It was very spicy and my white ass is going to complain that there's no place to select a desired spice level, they just assume for you. It wasn't unbearably spicy but did require some breaks to allow for my mouth to cool down. My lower GI tract wasn't particularly happy about it around 24 hours later. I'll spare you further details. Otherwise, it's a more pureed version, which is my preference. The paneer was plentiful. The vegetable dum biryani was seasoned well but was disappointing in terms of the "veggie" part. There were only a few diced carrots and a couple green beans. I wouldn't feel compelled to order this again, there are probably many better items to order from here. I wish I could tell you about the garlic naan but they didn't send it, so that was disappointing. This is the main reason for 3 stars, it's a bit of a problem to not be confident that you're going to actually receive what you ordered and paid for. The mango lassi was delicious. I finished it in probably 2 minutes. I highly recommend theirs. I'm really digging the incredible variety of vegetarian options here and look forward to trying more of their stuff...I just hope it all arrives.. read more

Had delicious food while being in town. For my meal I had ginger chicken. It was in the appetizer section of the menu, but definitely filling and big enough for a meal. Flavors were wonderful. Bite sized pieces of deliciousness. Great amount of spice. I also ordered some garlic naan. Garlic flavors were delicious. One of my friends ordered old city chicken roast biryani. I had some to try and thought it was quite tasty. It came with rice and boneless chicken. My other friends ordered a different chicken biryani. I forgot which one. He did like it, but couldn't fully enjoy it as there were pieces of bone, both small and large in his chicken. This is not their fault, but simply his for not ordered a meal with boneless chicken. We were also giving two sauces. A white and a red. Not really sure what they were for. I dipped some naan in both, and some chicken in the white one. Both had good flavors. Good food, and good amount of spice if you need a spice kick. read more

We enjoyed our time here albeit with some communication issues during the ordering process. My favorites were the samosas, garlic naan, and veggie korma. Some of the other items seemed a little bit more salty than they should be like the butter chicken and the saag and lamb. But it was still a good time together. read more

Really good food! Got some spicy cauliflower as an appetizer, hakka noodles, naan, and chicken tikka masala. Overall, very impressed with the food. Service could have been better. I think they should indicate on the menu that dosa isn't available all day, because after my wife decided to get a dosa, she was told they can't make them when the place is busy. Maybe a smaller menu overall is just in order. read more

Best Indian food around! I came here the day before thanksgiving and had seen the place a couple of times and always wanted to try it. They were busy but sat us very quickly (i think there was just a lot of people because it was the day before thanksgiving) I ordered this curry and rice dish that was excellent. Actually everything we had was excellent. Our server was very quick to get our food and he still made time for us when he was trying to serve everyone. Excellent place definitely am going to go again. read more

The food is AMAZING! We love it here and have tried probably half the menu at this point. We recommend doing take-out over eating-in .

Pros: Tasty spicy Indian food! Space, They r expanding and opening up a new section soon Ample parking Cons: Service! Its bit of a drive for us, but if we are in a mood for good spicy Indian food, this is one of the go to places in Metrowest. Let's start with the main attraction ....FOOD! Mirchinator wings: Chicken wings marinated and cooked in indian spices. Can get spicy (even medium spicy version). Awesome appetizer, we love it! Goat sukha: Mutton chunks marinated in indian spices. Good appetizer. has some dry gravy, so goes well with naans too. Biryani Noodle: Indo-Chinese style noodles in choice of veg, scrambled egg, chicken. We tried the egg noodles which was really good. The scrambled egg is cooked with spices and is yummy. mango lassi: ok, nothing great masala chai/tea: terrible. Was steeped for too long, tasted bitter. They serve such good food, if they improve the service aspect they will earn my all 5 stars. Found the quality of their Service to be inadequate in each of our visits. Service issues: server not asking spice level for food ordered.one cannot enjoy the food if it gets too spicy. appetizers and main course gets served together or in immediate succession. The naans end up getting cold while one is still working through the appetizers. server uses hand held devices and when asked for check, they just mention the total amount and one is supposed to pay it. The bill gets generated after payment. This is awkward! One should be able to see the check prior to payment... which is the usual norm! Tips: dont order all food at once. Order appetizers first and once it's on the table, order the main course. Else they will bring appetizers n main course all together. Specifically mentioning this in the beginning didn't seem to help. make sure to mention the spice level required for each item ordered.they dont generally ask you for it. Their medium spicy is really spicy (I am used to eating indian food and this was a bit spicy/hot than usual). don't sit near the main door. The place lacks an entrance vestibule, so anyone opening the door will send a cold wave into the restaurant, so sitting a bit away from the door is more comfortable. read more

Great food! Good ambiance! The mango yogurt is to die for. Simply an amazing place. Will go back if ever in the area again.

My boyfriend is from Mumbai and I've also been and we LOVE Indian food. We haven't been able to find a good Indian restaurant since we moved out to Western, MA. We wanted to try this spot and oh it was so good!! We were initially tempted in trying the buffet (we saw photos of that online) but they unfortunately spotted doing that since the pandemic. Nonetheless, we were very pleased with what we ordered!!! We ordered for takeout. We ordered 3 gravies. We chose spicy out of the three levels of heat for each gravy to see how hot they would be. They were definitely spicy, not the SPICIEST Indian I've ever had (we like chili!) but it definitely had it! I'd probably only order one or two gravies as spicy next time, just to switch it up a bit. We ordered: Chicken korma: my boyfriend wanted to try this but was nervous because every chicken korma he's ordered in the US has been terrible. But WOW, he loved it, I loved it, it was soooo rich and creamy. Chicken thighs were the cut of chicken they used in this gravy so it was super tender. We were so pleased with this one. Saag paneer: I love saag paneer so I was curious to see what theirs would taste like. Another hit! Rich and creamy, had a good kick. I loved it mixed with the butter chicken too. Butter chicken: The sauce was perfect- rich and creamy, flavorful, everything it should be. I just don't love chicken breast as much as chicken thighs- but that's a classic butter chicken, so I can't blame them for that haha! Lastly, we got rice with the gravies and it was also really good! I love the mango lassi, my boyfriend didnt- he said it was good but he wouldn't go out of his way for it. I thought it was great, not too watery and very flavorful. Overall, my boyfriend has been to 30+ Indian restaurants in the US and he says this is his favorite! Thank you, Mirchi! We will be back :) read more

Awesome place to try out pretty authentic Indian cuisine. Fairly priced and great customer service. Covers a lot of South Indian specialty items and regular North Indian delicacies. They have two halls and so there is unlikely shortage of space. The ambience is casual and can become loud with happy customers. Recommended and my Goto place for small office parties too. read more

I generally like their food but they can not keep up with the popularity. We waited one hour past the time given for take out. I could have cooked dinner and eaten it in that time. read more

This was our first dine in experiences at Mirchi Nation and it was great . It is great to be back dining in at restaurants without masks. The servers in the establishment were wearing masks. Their menu had a lot of South Indian options, indo-Chinese as well as regular indian food and some unique options. We ordered Gobi Manchurian, Goat Rogan Josh, Garlic Butter Naan and Chicken Biryani noodles. The flavors were spot on and the Indo-Chinese is almost like the food in India. Top notch. We loved the food and will keep visiting the restaurant. The food was soo good that I forgot to take picture if them! The only image, I did manage to click was the picture of Biryani noodles with Chicken! Although this is not our first time eating here. We previously took a take out order during Covid restrictions. The food taste was good then but the dine-in experience with hot food straight out from the restaurants kitchen is on another level. read more

Mirchi Nation-Indian Kitchen - Biryani Noodles - Halal Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

Got butter chicken. Sauce was good but chicken tasted like soft blocks of no flavor. Service isn't great. I sat down and noticed at lunchtime they give different menus to different tables. There's a regular menu and a set menu for lunchtime it looked like. I wouldn't know since I was not given the other menu. Probably not even on purpose and just thoughtless and indifferent service. He's just trying to get through the day. read more

We were bored of going to the usual Indian restaurants, so we decided to visit Mirchi Nation in Marlborough. I must admit that we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food here. We went there around 6 pm. Ordered Gobi manchurian, chicken lollipop, paneer tikka masala, Nalgonda natukodi curry (bone-in chicken curry) and garlic naan. The service was extremely fast. The food arrived at the table in around 10-15 minutes and it was freshly made. Some people who dine in here during peak hours complain that the food arrives late. But I think it is fair as cooking fresh food takes time when there are so many orders in the queue. Best is to visit early like we did. The taste of each and ever dish was amazing. I decided to order to go because the food was really good. I ordered Goat Sukkha and Goat fry biryani. Both were exceptionally good. Remember, if you say spicy, it will be very spicy. If you like mild, say mild because the spice level is very high here. I am glad I visited Mirchi Nation and found my favorite Biryani spot. Oh they also have something interesting called Biryani Noodles which I am eager to try in my next visit. read more

I always order butter chicken when trying a new (to me) Indian restaurant. Mine was very nice. It's accompanied by basmati rice, which was fine. The garlic naan was excellent. I worried when I first arrived since there were no other clients. Soon I realized that this place does a lot of carry-out. I observed many people who were apparently of Indian heritage coming in to pick up their meals. read more

I have never eaten in this restaurant so I can't attest to the dine in experience but I have ordered take out a bunch. The food is so good every single time. The flavors are insane. It is pretty expensive but you get decent portion sizes! The only thing is it takes quite a while but in my experience it's worth the wait! read more

Absolutely Delicious! I was in the way to Worchester and was in the mood for a Indian food. What a fabulous find! A expansive menu of Northern and Southern dishes and even a bit of Indian- Chinese. We had Butter Chicken, Naan, Ginger Chicken, Gobi Manchurian, Malai Kofta, and Ghee Roast Masala Dosa. Everything was yummy! read more

This place was fantastic. We were in town for hockey tournament. Read the reviews and decided to try it out. Ordered samosas, naan bread, Tiki chicken masala. All were fantastic! My only critique would be that the naan d bread was a little charcoaled.. you know it's good when the entire Restaurant is packed with patrons from the culture. we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area read more

Very good indo-Chinese food around MA area. Ambience is decent and clean for dine in. Mostly we saw people doing take out orders. Chicken lollipop- wet was the best dish out of everything we ordered. Szechwan rice was pretty authentic and flavorful. Veg ball Manchurian was decent too, but the veg balls could have been better - they were a bit hard and looked like they weren't fresh. One innovative dish that server suggested was - biryani noodles. Honestly, I dint like the fusion that much. Biryani and indo Chinese are my favorite Indian foods and I prefer to have it as is. Overall, food was great! Service was very poor, it took 25 mins to get just the appetizer. It was really slow in spite of not a lot of dine in folks around. Service could definitely be improved! One tip - when you go first time, you can get 10% discount if you check-in. Do try it if it's still available at the time! read more

Wanted to give Indian food another shot so came to this spot. Did online order for takeout. Online order site was easy to use but lack of pictures and descriptions of the menu items made it difficult to order. I had to use what other yelpers recommended. By the way, not sure if it is just me but T-mobile reception wasn't too good in the parking lot of the restaurant so I recommend ordering from another location if you are a T-mobile user. This restaurant is in a shopping plaza location. I ordered the spicy Mirchinator wings and spicy goat sukkha. Both came to about $30 total. Got an email to pick up in about 25 minutes. I was there on time and they had my order ready. After I drove somewhere else to enjoy the meal, I realized they did not include fork / spoon / napkins. Was I supposed to specify this in the online order? I thought it should automatically come with them. Anyways, the Mirchinator wings were ok. There was only 3 levels of spicy level to choose from and I picked the highest one (spicy), which has enough kick that I would recommend having enough drinks. The chicken was well-cooked and the spices are unique but has an aftertaste slightly like soap. They do have cilantro in there and I know some people taste soap when they have cilantro. I never did had this taste until having these wings. Despite that minor aftertaste, I thought the wings were okay. The spicy level made me stop after 2 pieces. By the way, there are 8 pieces in there and it comes 4 wing parts and 4 drums if you care about that. The skin is not crispy. I think if it was crispy, the crunchy element works well with the spice sauce. The goat sukkha was also ordered in the highest spicy level but it wasn't as spicy as the wings. I liked the goat sukkha better than the wings. The sauce is very flavorful and the goat meat is very well marinated in spices. The sauce is so heavy to have the goat sukkha by itself so I recommend having rice with it to dilute the sauce flavor. The goat meat is not as gamey as I thought it would be, so I liked it. It was well cooked. Overall, it was okay. The food is a bit heavy by themselves. The thick sauces and abundant spices make it so I recommend eating with rice / veggies and having a lot of refreshing drinks to dilute the strong tastes. The taste on the tongue can stick with you for the rest of your day. read more

One of the worst India food I have had in MA, we ordered Mirchi spl wings, murgh soup, Hyderabad mutton dum biryani and chilli chicken biryani. Murgh soup was hot water with tomato, chicken pieces Wings meat was stale and it was sweet and they had coated with ketchup and the waiter told us it's one of their spicy dishes ‍ Mutton dum biryani was definitely not dum it was flavored rice with mutton masala. Chicken biryani was the same. I have no idea how this place got 4.1 ratings, I m in shock if your looking for authentic Indian food pls don't go to this place and waste your money. Only their menu looks good and not the food. I will give this place 0 stars!! read more

If I could leave a negative review, I would. I sat down and was brought a bottle (8 oz) of warm water. I asked if I could have a glass of ice water, the server said no, this was the only water available. I move on to ordering a plain dosa. The server tells me no, I need to have potato dosa because it's more flavorful. Ok, whatever, I find it stupidly rude but I'm hungry and craving a dosa. I then order a samosa: i am told this is not right and i would prefer something else. my dude. i want a samosa. i tell him that i want the dosa and toss in garlic naan. garlic naan: ok naan bread with garlic ghee maybe? lacked salt it was like eating warm-ish bread from a garlic infused oil spill. samosa: the centers weren't really warm but ok. potato dosa: dosa with warm-ish mashed potatoes. every dish came with plastic to-go containers. each dish randomly came to the table - the naan a full 10 minutes after the dosa. the bottled water? $1.59 over priced, rude service, and eh-food. avoid. read more

Ordered take out - chicken tikka, fish tikka and paneer 55. Fish is so bland and half cooked. Chicken tikka tastes usual but the portion size seems to go down every time we order.

This is our go to Indian restaurant so I've eaten there many times. I'm not recommending it whole heartedly, though, because the quality varies so much! I wish I could figure out what the factor is that affects whether it is a good night or an off night and only order on the good nights. On a good night, the curries are flavorful (particularly recommend the korma), the naan is just the right amount of chewy, the samosas are hot and fresh and perfectly spiced, and OMG get the gobi (cauliflower) manchurian. On an off night, though, dishes that are supposed to be mild come out spicy and spicy dishes are inedible, the curries are all sauce with only a few chunks or chicken or paneer or whatever, the naan is burned and cardboard-y, and once I got a fish dish that had fish that was clearly past it's prime. I'd say it's 70:30 good night:bad night. Try to go on a good night. read more
