Chinese Mirch

Judging by the crowd waiting by the entrance on a Saturday night, Chinese Mirch and its Indian Chinese fusion cuisine must be hugely popular. We reserved and seated early - the peak is after 8.00 pm. Service was a tad slow, but  friendly and efficient, Its BYOB, but they have some interesting drinks - Masala Coke is a Coke with coriander, cumin powder, and mint leaves, does well to cool your palate, but its not Coke any more. Good apps with fast service - Sweet corn soup was great, steamed momos were fine, & spring rolls were hot and fresh.  For entrees, try Mirch 65 - a peppery chicken - goes well with brown rice. Noodles and fried rice are good too - a favorite with kids. (We counted no less than 15 in our section alone, family dining is the norm) Best of all was our 4 diners groupon - essentially a half price deal - 4 drinks, 4 apps, 4 entrees for $55, against a $90 value - so that made it well worth the visit.

I like the Chinese-Indian fusion. Nice to eat Indian long grain rice with kung pao chicken.  I would recommend both the 3 Spices Duck and the Mandarin Duck dishes.

The food is way too overpriced.  The only dish (I am veg) I liked is the Coriander sauced vegetables. Even the appetizers are too small a portion for the price. The waiters are friendly but a tad slow.
