Mirchi - Stoke-on-Trent

By far the best Indian food in the area. Far from standard fare, this restaurant produces real, home cooked, truly Indian dishes. A pleasure, and surprisingly reasonable prices. Vegetarian options: Dosas are an absolute must-have. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

We had biryani with lamb on the bone and my partner had manchurian veggie balls and veggie noodles. The biryani came in a fairly big bowl but the lamb on the bone portion was only just adequate. The lamb was tender and tasted very nice. The rice was just okay Fairly nice flavours but overrall a very dry dish and I didn't like the cloves in the rice. It was expensive for what it was! My partner enjoyed the manchurian veggie balls but said they were very spicy. She did NOT enjoy the veggie noodles as she said they were bland. I tried the noodles too and I could've done a better cooking job at home and I'm not a good cook!!!!! Most of the veggie noodles were left on the plate!! The waiter did NOT help us with our menu choices which is POOR customer service! To sum up, the food was average and expensive for what you got We may be tempted to return if there is a special offer in TWO years time!!!!!
