Pleasant decor, good levels of lighting and well spaced out tables so you're not in all the other customers' space..
Quite slow to acknowledge my arrival due to a lack of serving staff (it was a Wednesday evening, to be fair) but once proceedings were underway all was good despite the shakey start.
Refrigerated water (filtered tap I suspect because there was no smell tor odd flavour to it) in the styliest jug I've ever seen at an Indian restaurant and perfectly salted poppadoms with cumin seeds (which I love) brought with the menu.
After a little deliberation I settled on the Chilli Chicken entree and the Lamb Do Piaza (Hot). They have the Kingfisher Strong beer even though it's not actually listed on the drinks menu so, of course, that was a must.
The plates were pre-heated and delivered just prior to the course's arrival.
Starting with the Chilli Chicken proved to be a master stroke. It was a little salty, even for me, but I could look past that as it was still delicious with the red and green capsicum and onion. I was really looking forward to the main.
It arrived promptly and emitted all the right smells. The taste was no disappointment either. Delicious! Hot was actually proper hot for a change. A smidgeon too much cumin in the spice mix but not overpowering. Nice, tender lamb pieces in the right proportion to the sauce.
Negatives:
Nothing serious.Glass over the tablecloth which is only one up from paper. The counter telephone ring is a little intrusive (but fortunately the music is not).The TV was streaming YouTube cricket until it stopped and that went unnoticed by the staff. But I guess you don't go to Indian restaurants for TV. And I got so tired of waiting for them to come and clear the mains plate so I could order a Mango Kulfi dessert that I gave up and paid and left without. I did make brief eye contact with the serving staff on a couple of occasions, as expertly as they avoided doing so, but my intent went unnoticed. I'm not so uncouth as to raise a hand and wave like I'm back in primary school.
All-in-all this now my go-to west Auckland Indian but in future I'll be sitting where I can grab their attention when the need arises.
I can’t fault the food! Huge amount of flavour
My favourite is the chilli chicken entree and the naan bread is the best I’ve ever had!!
It’s just really lacking in decor and cleanliness!
With abit of modernisation and a good scrub down this place would be amazing
We had dinner at Mirchi's and absolutely loved the food and the Ambience. The food was divine and cooked to perfection. The staff was very polite. I would recommend all curry lovers to give this place a try. We are definitely going back

We used the Groupon Feast for 2 voucher to share between 3 people with an addition of a salad. The size of the meal was decent that 3 of us were having trouble finishing all of it. There were pappadums to start, 2 vege and 1 chicken tikka entree, 2 curries with 2 naans, and 2 desserts. The curry was tasty, pappadum was salty, vege pakora was dry, chicken was tender, and the mango kulfi ice cream was nice and refreshing. The food came out very quick (might be because we were the only table). Restaurant atmosphere is very authentic Indian. Waiter was very polite. Overall was good value for money.
Food really tasty, good value for money will definitely go there again for dinner.
Customer service was great. Butter chicken really tasty. Awesome
Came here with my wife and friends with Groupon coupon. Value for money with the voucher. Food tasty, and flavoursome. However, it takes a very long time between courses. Actually 2 hours to finish the whole meal. Great disappointment on the timing.
Always tasty food and value for money. Great to see you deliver also! Way to go in transforming your business to be more customer focused 👏👏👏
The best in west !!! Awesome food.... we had palak paneer and Dal fry along with Butter naan...... Naan was so yummy and crispy...well baked.......Mango kulfi was amazing, Will surely go again next week. Thanks for the great Food Rajesh
We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Dal Makhni, Butter Chicken. Food is great and especially Butter chicken....best butter chicken in Auckland.. Awesome customer service. Thank You Rajesh for making our experience special. Keep up the excellent work.
Amazing food and very friendly staff !! Must try ... me and my partner rang them to ask if they could accomodate us. Interior is different. Quite and easy going place ! We would definitely come back

The curry was tasty, pappadum was salty, vege pakora was dry, chicken was tender, salad was more just a plate of chopped vege, and the mango kulfi ice cream was nice and refreshing. The food came out very quick (might be because we were the only table). Restaurant atmosphere is very authentic Indian. Waiter was very polite. Overall was good value for money.
They are a little hidden gem. Great butter chicken. Takeaways welcome via phone order. Plenty of dine in seating it has a traditional indian vibe... the owner is very friendly.
Best Indian food around for miles and miles. Not only my is the food great, but the staff are really friendly too. Out latest order took two hours to arrive (delivery) because of mix ups with daylight savings. But they gave us our next meal free as compensation.
A great dining place. Last Sunday we went for there for our suns sons first birthday party with 30 other relatives and they managed it very well, food was simply awesome so as their customer service. Party was supposed to end at 10:00 but it ended an hour late but i was amazed to see their patients and it didn't impact their service at all.
Pre ordered our delivery on line before the restaurant had opened, was very easy and efficient, our meal arrived right on time. We enjoyed every mouthful from the samosas to the butter chicken and chicken tikka marsala. Highly recommend and would definitely order from mirchi's again. Our last meal from them was yuck when new people had taken over a while back, but these must be new owners again as this meal was superb!!
Popped in here after doing a google search for food in the area. It was a Monday evening so very quiet. The food and service was excellent. Would definitely recommend. Specials on a Monday & Tuesday evening as well.
A great local restaurant, always good service and food. Try something other then just the butter chicken, every curry I've tried has been delicious.
I'm a regular now.
What a little Gem!!!
My mother and i try to support local businesses and we would recommend this restaurant if you want excellent food and great atmosphere and a reasonable cost. This is our new local Fav.
Lovely food, great service, we've been a few times and would definitely recommend.
Awesome Food and awesome Service! I would recommend everyone to come here and we will definitely be back :-)
