" Visiting Mirch Masala was a fantastic culinary experience! The Chicken Korma was rich and perfectly spiced, and the accompanying rice was fluffy and well-cooked. I also loved the ambiance of the restaurant; it was lively without being too loud. The staff was attentive and made our dining experience even better. The only thing I wished was for larger portions as I was left wanting more! Otherwise, this place is definitely a must-visit for Indian cuisine in San Diego. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a hidden gem! I stopped by with friends and was blown away by the flavors. The Dahi Vada and Pani Puri were to die for. They were authentic, with just the right amount of spice. The staff was welcoming and made us feel at home. Although the place was bustling, they maintained cleanliness, and the decor had a nice Indian vibe. I will absolutely recommend this place to anyone craving Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I did a full spread at their buffet, and while the selection was impressive, I felt that the overall experience could improve. Some dishes were excellent, like the biryani and cheese naan, but a few were bland and uninteresting. The waitstaff were friendly but overwhelmed, which led to slow service. The ambiance was lively and enjoyable, though, so I’d give it a second chance on a less busy night. Overall, a decent experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mirch Masala after hearing great things and I was pleased with the food. The Kadai Paneer was spiced just right, and the accompanying rice was fluffy and fragrant. The service was decent, not exceptional but attentive enough. The ambiance was casual yet clean, making it a nice place to enjoy a meal with friends. Overall, a positive experience and I would consider returning for more flavorful dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Mirch Masala was not as enjoyable as we had hoped. While the ambiance was warm and inviting, the dishes we ordered lacked the expected authenticity. The flavors were muted, especially in the butter chicken which ought to be rich and creamy. The service was slow, with our food taking longer than it should have to arrive, and we felt overlooked at points. We might give it another shot in the future, but this first experience was disappointing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mirch Masala is a must-visit spot! I had their unlimited chaat night and everything was delicious! From the Pani Puri that burst with flavor to the Dahi Vada that was creamy and refreshing, I was thoroughly impressed. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be returning to try their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Mirch Masala's Mughlai buffet and enjoyed most of the dishes. Everything from the biryani to the naan was flavorful, though I found some of the curries needed more seasoning. The restaurant had a festive vibe and the owner was friendly, checking in on our experience. The only downside was the limited selection of desserts, but the main courses definitely made up for it. I'm excited to return and discover more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)
