Mirchi in North Kesteven

Haven't used Mirchi for a little while,however decided to have a curry as we've used them for many years, even through their name changes/rebranding and never had a bad meal....until now.... Portion sizes have dwindled dramatically as we ordered the same as we used to and was always stuffed, I could have eaten all of our takeaway on my own, the chicken tikka starter was pathetic, four small pieces of chicken which were slightly overcooked , the bombay aloo portion has been halved, as has the main curry dish, also the naan was much smaller and rather chewy like the dough has been overworked, also nothing much was hot only slightly warm. Overall we're shocked, prices haven't changed but the portions have and will definitely not be using them again!!!

Beautiful food, excellent service and very clean. Lamb tikka korma was great…Lamb was 10 out of 10. Dropped in on the off chance as we were passing through and very glad we did. If we’re every near metheringham again we would definitely come back.

Went for takeaway today, at 3.35 as opening hours state 3.00 p.m to 10.00 p.m on a Sunday, both on website and on door. Waited outside until 4.45, when a person came to the door and said they were not open until 5.00 p.m. I asked why it says 3.00 p.m, person said it always says that but it is actually 5.00 p.m. Suggested it should be changed, but person shrugged and went back inside, saying to come back at 5.00 p.m. Will not be returning!

Visited as a family of 7 with children aged between 8 and 19. Worst service I have ever experienced, we were the only people in the restaurant. Drinks came staggered and were asked numerous times what we had ordered. Food took a very long time to come, and when it did was only warm and portion sizes were poor. Did get a small discount on paying but didn’t distract from the fact it was a very disappointing experience. Not worth driving out of town and won’t be visiting again.

We had been for a sit in meal a few months ago, and could not fault our meal and the service. My daughters birthday yesterday, we got a take away. I’m angry and upset at the quality of our meal. The korma was lacking chicken pieces. The lamb pieces were tough. Our pershwari naan was disgusting, it had a yellow powder inside. I have no idea what this thick yellow powder was throughout the naan.

So out i go for another attempt at a really good curry while I'm working away. 8 miles I travel to this place,I sit down and order a cobra,5 mins later the waiter who speaks little english says the cobra has run out but I can have a magners,I should have walked then. Charging for popadoms and dips is something I'll never get used to but they do 80p per dip. Onion bhaji ordered and a spicy curry with pilau rice and a keema naan,each course took an age to come,tiny little bhajis were ok then to the main,I laughed when the rice came it was so small and the curry was in a big bowl to make it look alot more than it was.It was ok the curry but nothing special. The keema naan was excellent though,anyway £30 for the lot wish I'd stayed in. I've give it a poor rating based on my experience of the whole night and not just the tiny portions of the food.

We were regular visitors. Last [Feb] were disspointing. The curry was not Hot as I ordered. When complained we were given a bowl of fresh chillies! Tried again for last time with Saturday 8.pm for 4 people. HORRIBLE! Ordered a £12 sharing starter. 1 burnt and Black lamb chop. 1 finger size sausage and 2 oxo cube size chicken cube with some lettuce arrived! It did not even come as a starter. Everything came together. I rarely ever complain. Not this time. The waiter said... OK No charge for the starter. No apology Nothing. Our curries was not Hot with spices etc. It was ordered HOT please. My sons coconut dish has lumps of sugar in it! One out of 4 were acceptable and it was luke warm. The garlic bread was Ok The wine was good!!!! £100 and a total waste of my money .People..Do not waste your money in this place. Finally ...it was cold. Even the waiters had coats on. The only thing that keeps it going is DILIVEROO. You have been told. Try Asda....Much better and Save £80.

We’ve had many takeaways from this restaurant but we had our first visit tonight eating in, i can highly recommend a visit, the food was delicious as usual and ambiance and service was top notch, absolutely couldn’t fault it. Extremely reasonable as well.

This is a wonderful meal,Highly recommended... Me and my friends go for visit most of the Indian restaurant in Lincoln,Mirchi one of best restaurant in this area..

Wouldnt go back! Hate having to be critical but the food and cost really was pathetic. As someone who has eaten Indian currys for over 50 years I really wasnt impressed with this "Bangladeshi" curry house. If that is an example of that type of curry I went to the wrong place. Couple of examples ......ordered "Large king prawn curry ".......got 3 of them!.........asked for "Raita" which wasnt on the menu and got a spoonful of plain yoghurt with some chopped cucumber, skin as well, thrown on top......not nice!

Every time we go it’s delicious. Ordered the king prawn shashlik on our last visit and not only was it presented beautifully but it tasted wonderful. Excellent quality large king prawns. In fact we all thought the food and flavours we delicious. Prawn chat puri never fails as starter. We’ll be back again, always impressed. And the service we excellent, very attentive, smiling friendly staff who are clearly passionate about what they do. Thanks for a great evening.

The main chicken tikka balti and rice were delicious, very nice and in keeping with many of the glowing reviews seen on this platform and others. However, all the pappadums were overdone and quite stale tasting. Further, onion bhajis (while they had a good texture) had almost no flavour; the accompanying salad tasted sour. The sheek kebab was very chewy to the point we didnt eat them after a couple bites and the chicken pakora was very bland. Unfortunately our rice had a couple hairs in the container- it happens - but it detracts from any positives. As I say the Balti was delicious, but with so many options around the area, this wouldn’t be a revisit for us.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food! Cobra on draft and have good selection of wine. Evening well spent

Booked on a Saturday evening purely on reviews as we were just overnighting nearby , so not sure what to expect as it’s alway a chance thing but I needn’t have worried the food and ambiance were top drawer everything as ordered and hot and spiced to perfection! Staff were friendly and just right ! Will definitely be going again

Staying nearby & booked a table for Saturday evening. Food was excellent, portions were huge (should have shared a starter) & it was very reasonably priced.

We have eaten inside the restaurant and had takeaway from here, the restaurant is excellent, very clean and well laid out with great staff. We have also had takeaways delivered and they’re always hot on arrival. Can’t fault this restaurant the food is very tasty...

Just had a takeaway from this restaurant and although I wouldn’t normally bother felt I had to write a review. I’ve been a vegetarian for over 40 years and so have had more than my fair share of paneer dishes and have made my own...

Always my go to place. If you have a taste for spicy food the madras is always excellent. Never been disappointed by Mirchi fantactic food and great service!

After reading reviews about Mirchi our expectations were high and thought this would be a great experience. We ordered our drinks from a friendly waiter for the 4 of us. An ice bucket was asked for several times when it arrived it was just filled...

Had a great evening meal, staff excellent and food amazing, great value. 10/10 we will definitely be back

I had a takeaway. It was the best Indian meal since moving to Lincoln! The food was delivered still piping hot! It isn't greasy and the flavours are authentic. I haven't eaten in yet because of covid but i am looking forward to eating at...

Ordered a takeaway for delivery tonite. First time ordering after having moved to Martin. Omg - we were not disappointed! Ordered online. Food arrived piping hot, beautifully tasty. Will definitely be ordering again!!

This was the best Indian take away we have ever had and we have had a few. I made a mistake ordering online & had to phone up. This wasn't a problem & the staff were very helpful. The food actually arrived early. What a...
