Mirchiz Restaurant in York

Wonderful food, friendly staff. Top indian restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Decent curry 🍛 staff was very friendly. Poppadoms and pickle trays were excellent. Take your own alcohol. Reasonably priced

Really enjoyable and looking forward to going back. Perfect walking distance for those staying at the Novotel or Travelodge. Close to the city centre. Not too close that its overly busy, but not too far that you can't walk into the centre afterwards for cocktails. We went on a Monday night and there were plenty of tables. Bring your own alcohol, no charge for glasses or bottle openers. They serve 0% beers and other soft drinks. The onion bhajis (4 in a portion) are golf ball size but full of flavour and crispiness. My partner loved the chilli chicken curry he had. He went for medium heat, but they were happy to increase the heat levels if wanted. I had the mild version of the chicken tikka and it was absolutely delicious. We had a mushroom rice and a garlic naan bread between us. Both of which were very tasty. The naan could have been cooked a little longer for me, but it didn't impact the flavour. The garlic flavouring on the naan was stronger than what we're used to from our local, but it actually tasted nicer for it. The serving staff were quick to serve and clear away but not in an intrusive way. They were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and flavours. It cost around £30 for the food, and we didn't buy drinks as we took our own. Good value for money, especially dining out in York. Would recommend it for sure.

Quality food is served by helpful and polite staff. Five adults with different spice levels and every meal was spot on. One of our group is Celiac and we had no concerns . The staff were knowledgeable and made great menu suggestions.

Delicious food came with friends whilst staying here. Service was fab, will return!

This place is a little Gem. We were staying in a guest house just up the road, and called in as it looked nice. We hadn't booked and was lucky that they had a table for us. Not that it was a problem for us, but they don't serve alcohol. They do have a great selection of non alcoholic drinks to choose from, which more than satisfied us. You can bring your own drinks if you wish. On to the food, which was absolutely gorgeous. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted Amazing. The staff were lovely and helpful, even though they were run off their feet due to being so busy. If I could give more than 5 stars for the food, I most definitely would. The only thing I knocked down was that it was quite noisy ( probably just because it was busy and their was a certain party in, that was more loud than your normal groups ! ). Would thoroughly recommend and would definitely go back when we next visit York. Thank you Mirchiz for a beautiful meal - probably one of the best tasting curries we've ever had. 😋

Been with friends on several occasions staff so friendly and food is sensational I'll be back soon

Nice food, good value for money.

I recently visited Mirchiz with work colleagues and I was very pleasantly surprised. I have eaten at many Indian restaurants and wasn’t expecting to be impressed the way I was. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cosy and intimate feel that made it perfect for a relaxed meal. The decor was modern and had a fresh vibe to the place. The service was outstanding and Ali and Haks were very attentive without being overbearing and made sure our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish, with many recommendations to suit each of our preferences. The food itself was fantastic, offering a rich variety of traditional Indian dishes, each bursting with flavor and clearly made with care. Overall, Mirchiz is a hidden gem with great service, a welcoming ambiance, and delicious food. I’ll definitely be returning again

Went with four friends last and shared a handful of different curries - all were amazing! Great staff and nice layout

Great food and friendly service. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic service and amazing food. Our waiter recommended 4 dishes that were amazing. We had the full works and loved it all

From Heage Derbyshire.....Great taste food lovely service very clean. Didnt rush you through you courses reasonable prices.

Great restaurant and takeaway. Never had a disappointing meal from here. The food is tasty with a wide choice. We have home delivery which is a great service.

Had family up for a short visit and decided to treat ourselves to a sit in meal rather than the usual takeaway (which is always excellent). The restaurant was quite busy (Friday evening) & has undergone a recent refurb so the place had a nice ambiance. The food was incredible. Every single dish was exceptionally delicious and we all agreed it was probably one of the best Indian meals any of us has ever had (high praise indeed from my curry connoisseur dad!) We already knew it was a ‘dry’ bar so brought our own beer along (no service/corkage charge) and the non-drinkers were able to order soft drinks. Only slight criticism is that the service was a little disorganised and a couple of dishes were missed from the order so delayed but that was rectified very quickly & I think that can be put down to being busy. We’re fortunate to live fairly local to Mirchiz but even if we weren’t it’d be worth a trip from further afield if you want exquisitely cooked Indian food. Can’t wait for a return visit.

We came from Leeds 3 lads on Tuesday 13th August Came around 7pm. Firstly the decor was stunning. The service and food was amazing. I have not been to a better restaurant please guys try for yourself and you shall see. It was a small world after speaking to the owner we realised he was best friends with my late neices husband.

Had a takeaway and it was 1 of the best Indian takeaways we've had. Food was fresh really tasty and great value for money highly recommend

Loved the food. The service was excellent. I think this is our new favorite restaurant. PS. The mint yogurt was a bit runny.

Great staff and food. Bring you own bottle and food is well priced, makes it worthwhile to go to a meal rather than ordering a takeaway

Visited for a family birthday. Been going for over 25 years. Food consistently good, service friendly. Great veggie, vegan options Love the refurb

Got delivery from here as my usual Indian restaurant was closed - what a blessing!! The Paneer Tikka Masala was amazing (can order mild or spicy) and the garlic Naan was generous and delicious. The mango Lassi serves 2 for the price you usually pay for 1 serving. Overall will definitely be eating here again!

What a find! Delicious well presented food presented by friendly, helpful staff. Not licensed so bring your own. Excellent price and value.

Small but beautifully decorated restaurant. Not licensed so you can take your own alcohol. Staff friendly and very responsive. All food fresh and tasty with no long waits. I asked for a recommendation and was told the mustard lamb....and it was super. All 4 of us enjoyed the whole experience, food, staff, decor and vibe, and will definitely return. Couldn't wish for better!

We came to break our iftaar here after we were recommended by a regular, the restaurant was cosy with nice decor and the staff were very friendly and provided amazing customer service. The food was amazing and had authentic south Asian food, which was adapted to our spice tolerance. As a south Asian myself, I normally find food to be bland in York but this was far from bland. Overall I really enjoyed my time here and will be coming again

We came to this restaurant as it was recommended by a friend who is a regular and we loved our time here! It was Comfortable and had a nice atmosphere , the restaurant was nicely decorated and the customer service was amazing with friendly staff. In terms of the food, it was authentic and tasty and they adapted our food accordingly to our taste. Overall I really recommend this and we would either come again or order.

This place is brilliant! The food is always amazing & ther service matches! Best Indian in york nowadays for value & service!

Fabulous friendly place with a great vibe. We wanted a couple of dishes not on the menu and the waiter confirmed they could make the dishes for us. Food was tasty and came out very quickly. Coffee afterwards was great and the added bonus is you can take your own drinks which made the whole evening very affordable. Will be our go to the next time we're in York!

Great Indian food good service good atmosphere

We went there with our family and not a busy time also. The waiter or might be owner with little long and grey beard was very nasty and rude to us. We placed our order then order more naan. He was furious and staring at us and said we are very busy and don't do ROLLING ORDER. You can order once and can't order again as we are not doing rolling order so we were taken back by his behaviour and did not order more. I have been to restaurants around the world and have never come across such behaviour. He has very arrogant attitude and no respect for guests. He might be good to some English people as saw that attitude there and racist to some.......

Fast and friendly service, delicious food and good value for money. We happened to be in on a Thursday when they had a deal for popadoms, starter and main course which is what we ordered

Outstanding food - our group had the Garlic Chilli Chicken, Prawn Vindaloo and a Kashmiri dish and all were totally delicious. Great poppadoms with fresh dips to start (including a spicy one that I’d not had before) too. Fab service from the waiting staff too. An all round great experience on a very busy night.

Certainly not the worst meal we've had, but a long way from being anywhere near the best. Called in for a takeaway the food was prepared quickly despite the restaurant being busy with Christmas parties, the front of house staff obviously didn't want to be there, but were polite enough, the price was about right, the mains and sundries were hot and tasted OK. Would I go back, no probably not.

The food was good with very large portion sizes. However, the delivery time was ridiculous. I ordered food at 5.50 pm, but the food did not arrive until 9.45 pm. This is complicated by the fact that they are on Deliveroo but use their own driver, who in this case tried to deliver to the wrong address and then prioritised other orders instead of dealing with mine. I would advise the resturant to not advertise on Deliveroo as it makes it very hard for the driver to be contacted. It also makes it hard to chase up your order or deal with it as Deliveroo are not responsible for the delivery. This is also not the first time we have waited over 2 h for food from this restaurant. I would only recommend this place to customers who are willing to collect.

The food is average/ ok, not great. It is further ruined by the rapeseed (vegetable) oil that they use in all food, and which they cannot swap with anything else even if you are allergic. They should know that vegetable oil is an inflammatory seed oil, which is harmful to everyone and not just people who are allergic to it, as similarly to sunflower oil it is high in omega 6 and linoleic acid, which damages cell membranes in the body when consumed. I would love to see them cooking with coconut oil, olive oil or goose fat. The toilets only have cold water, which really shows how much they care about their customers. Cheap but low quality.

Plus is that you take your own drinks, that’s where it ends! Grumpy service, chewy, grisly meat, watery sauce. Probably worst curry we have ever had. Won’t be back. Oh, and a constant stream of delivery drivers pushing past our table, very annoying.

Lovely restaurant fabulous food could not fault it

Good food service was very good by one waiter the other I think wanted to be somewhere else the only downside was no desserts otherwise I would given them the give stars

I reduced 1 point simply because of the miserable young bearded waiter. He never cracked a smile. We ordered 2 cokes and he never gave us a glass just a bottle and straw. REALLY. Crack a smile and learn to say please and thank you. Costs nothing.

The food was exceptional. They made us feel so welcome and the service was great. When we visit York again, this restaurant will be on the list as a go to. Remember if you want alcohol, take your own.

This place has been doing great food with excellent service for years. I’ve never been disappointed with a meal there.

Absolutely tremendous. Great service, food came remarkably swiftly and it was outstanding. I had the Balti Kashmiri Karahi and it might just be one of the best curries I’ve ever had. Even the nan breads were great, nowhere near as greasy as conventional Indian restaurant naan breads. It might be slightly out of the city centre, but if you’re in York and you fancy an Indian, it’s well worth the extra travel.

Delicious Indian food. Friendly service.

Delicious food and very accomodating staff

Always good. This has become my go to curry house in York. Excellent food, really good naan breads, well priced & bring your own drinks. Very much recommended.

Ordered as a takeaway. Absolutely delicious. 5/5

Great little restaurant tucked away on Fishergate. Food and service is always good and the mango lassi is fab.

Reception so poor,staff friendlyness so boring,can't accommodate special diatary needs.

Highly recommend, good food, great decor, friendly staff

I have had take out twice and the staff are absolutely lovely, so friendly and helpful, couldn’t recommend enough and the food is incredible!!!

The best Indian restaurant that I've ever been to and I've been to many. The food is authentic, plentiful and sublime. The staff are so attentive and the prices are very reasonable. You definitely need to book so that you won't be disappointed as it gets very busy even mid week. One of York's best kept secrets.

Delicious takeaway. Would order again.

Absolutely loved the food. Made the food according my preference (lot of spices) and they were great. Chicken and other meats are halal except for Venison. Recommended.

We ate at this restaurant on a Friday evening and the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and could not do enough for you and everything was reasonably priced .we would definitely recommend this restaurant and come back again .

Beautiful decor, courteous service, and amazing food. Great restaurant overall

Excellent authentic curry and service. Good value and portions

Great Indian restaurant within walking distance from Roomzzz York where we were staying. Very friendly staff fitted us in even though we hadn’t booked for a Sunday night, and they were very busy. Great meal deal available on a Sunday and Thursday very good value. Food very tasty great selection on the menu and take your own drinks was a bonus. A great little find great atmosphere modern decor would definitely visit again.

Such a lovely restaurant. Food was amazing. Chicken Jalfrezi was amazing. Paratha beautiful & the naan bread was huge. Was visiting York for a few days from Merseyside.One of the nice Indian meals I have ever had. Thank you.

York has a few Indian restaurants who claim to be the vest Mirchiz in my opinion IS the best! early evening as they were opening myself and 13 work colleagues descended on Mirchiz for what was a fantastic meal, my starter of the Onion bargees (x4) were perfect just the right amount for a starter and was soon polished off, followed by the Mango madoo malai which was like a Korma on steroids Highly recommended if you have a sweet tooth but want to try a bit of spice! no complaints from any of my friends and on or two doggy bags were provided there isn't a alcohol licence so you bring your own! it worked out at about £16 per person which is a great price! We will be back again very soon

Absolutely gorgeous food, great service and fabulous atmosphere.

The food, staff and ambiance were 5 star.. Can't wait to go back thank you 😊

Food was amazing. Service perfect too.

Staff very rude will never come here again

Fantastic take out. Very tasty food, fresh ingredients, tender lamb, good portion size. Best naan I've had in York. Delivered promptly on a busy night by a friendly driver. Will be ordering again soon.

Went here for their buffet night. The food was delicious, and bring your own booze is an absolute winner! Staff were lovely and friendly. Will absolutely eat here again, amazing value for money.

Service was prompt, staff friendly and the main food items very good. Marked down slightly because we felt that the rice and Peshawar nan were a bit bland compared to our usual at home in Glasgow; but that could just be a regional difference. Would definitely use again when we come back .

Friendly staff. Great offer on Thursday's and Sunday's

Takeaway was absolutely delicious! Very reasonable price and the quality of the food was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Very nice food and reasonably priced. Take your own alcohol so made it great value for money.

A fantastic Indian restaurant serving quality food. No drinks licence but you canntake your own, they also serve soft drinks. Friendly and helpful staff so just ask. Definitely worth a visit or a takeaway.

Really one of the best places I've eaten at in York. Everything tasted so fresh, we took our own wine, they supplied the glasses, I would recommend trying here for food.

We were in York for a couple of nights and found this wonderful restaurant on our last night it is without doubt worth a visit the food is magnificent and the staff are friendly and polite

Are here on a Thursday and they had a special deal which was great value for money and delicious.

Always a great atmosphere and fantastic food 👌

Went lastnight on a night away in York. Food and service were brilliant. Highly reccomend this restaurant! BEST naan we've ever had and loved the Paneer choices. You can take your own drink too. 5☆

Our new go to Indian! Have at least one take away a month from here, perfection every time, tasty & always comes hot! Caters for halal eaters too which is a bonus!

Great food at very reasonable price. Large portions, we ordered too much. Plus BYOB!

Only 4 stars this time round. I ordered my usual Mhugal Emperor tonight, but when it turned up it was served on a bed of salad leaves. Never seen a salad leaf anywhere near any of my previous Mhugals. The taste was excellent! But salad leaves??? Otherwise, the usual friendly service in a spotless restaurant.

Very pleasant atmosphere, the staff were attentive and the menu varied. The food was good and good value. You can take your own alcohol and they don't charge corkage.

Its worth saying up front, they dont sell alcohol you bring your own and there is no corkage charge! Well done!! The food we ordered was fantastic, very generous portions and delicious, in fact after the pickles, poppadoms and a starter we were quite full and ended up taking the rest home. The staff were attentive and efficient. The atmosphere was lovely, very warm and comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

Visited this place whilst in york. The food is amazing, so fresh. Really enjoyed our visit and was made very welcome. Highly reccommend

Delicious!!! Best Indian food I've tasted. Lovely dining experience with friendly staff.

A cracking restaurant 5 minutes from the city walls down Fishergate. Very good and reasonably priced food with (imo) the best nan in York! They do a 3 course deal on Sundays and Thursdays, papodom, starter, main. rice or nan for £12.95! Great staff and it's BYO alcohol with no corkage.

By far the best Indian I have ever had, each order (3 in one week, its that good) Was consistent in taste and quality. I highly recommend the Balti dishes! The order arrived quickly and was piping hot!

Been a few times for the 3 courses deal and the food is always excellent! Really nice place too. I want to book again ASAP 🤭

Always great food and friendly staff.

Lovely takeaway. We had lamb chops and chicken pakora to start and lamb bhuna and chicken passanda for mains - if we weren't so full halfway through we would have gladly finished the lot in one sitting! Would definitely recommend and will be ordering again. As a side note my partner has a bad reaction to onions so having the salad come without any was a really nice touch for a change. Keep doing this!

Great atmosphere and food. Nicely done out clean and well presented, food was gorgeous and very reasonably priced, take your own booze no charge for corkage makes for a cheap night out.

The food was awful no taste no flavour! Very disappointed!waste of money

Worst Asian food I have had in 30 years it's not for Asians tasteless starters super dry most likely mass boiled and cooked frozen reheated. Chicken masala 8 pieces of chicken nuggets no flavour and tarka daal boiled lentils and boiled ghee with two pieces of garlic thrown top .I wish I had eaten there but I had it takeaway .I live In Wakefield very disappointed in all the food.0 stars to be honest. If you're Asian stay away.

Chicken qaurter was so dry overcooked and hard ...and the mix starter for 2 also had dry overcooked meats ....over all qaulity of meat was abysmal

This is a great local restaurant. We go there a lot and it deserves to be praised. The staff are very attentive and polite. Highly recommended.

Great food. Great staff. And bring your own alcohol. Ask for 'off the menu' dishes. It's what the staff eat. What more is there to say?

11 of us visited to celebrate my husbands special birthday. The food is always good and didn't disappoint. They let us decorate the tables and area. The staff were very unassuming and efficient. They provided plates etc for the birthday cake and dimmed the lights....

Great show from mirchiz as usual

Excellent food at reasonable price. Very helpful service. Would go again if in the area. Only downside is that there is no alcohol licence, although you can byo. Didn't realise this until we arrived.

After walking 20 mins in the rain and finding the restaurant we originally wanted to go to had closed their kitchen, we didn't hold much hope for this restaurant we stumbled across. However, we were most pleasantly surprised! Great service, very attentive waiter who advised us that we could take advantage of an offer as it works out to be a better deal.. He also offered to bring us an off the menu lamb dish as we were unsure on what to order. Absolutely delicious- best mains we've had at an Indian restaurant. Only took pics of the starter as we were too busy enjoying our food! Thank you!

We had the set menu (Thursday and Sunday only). It was terrific value, 3 courses for £12.95. Nothing was too much trouble for this team of unassuming gents. It's a 'take your own booze' place but they supplied ice and glasses etc. Lovely atmosphere. Glad...

Excellent food,good service and very reasonably priced
