Tried the lunch buffet at Mirchi Masala and was quite disappointed. There was no biryani included, only jeera rice, and overall the food lacked both taste and quality. The chicken curry and dal makhani were good. We ordered biryani separately, and it was served only with raita, with no salan. The service was also slow in clearing used plates from our table. Even though we were the only table, staff did not clear piled up plates unless asked. For the variety and flavor offered, the price felt too high. This was definitely not the kind of buffet experience you would expect at that cost.

We enjoy fine dining and places where the food truly stands out. Unfortunately, your restaurant fell below expectations in most aspects, except for the décor. We are not from Fresno, but we can still recommend places in Fresno that serve excellent Indian food. Based on our experience, we would not seek food-related recommendations from you. If you would like, we can suggest buffet options in the Bay Area that are more expensive but deliver an outstanding experience, including excellent biryanis, where the price feels justified.

Absolutely amazing dining experience. Starting with our waitress Vida, who was very welcoming, the food was exceptional and the owner Ash was obviously invested in making his restaurant the best possible. Now, the food. Fresno, you don’t know what a spectacular Indian restaurant you have!! The food was meticulously made, all from FRESH ingredients. It shows in the dishes flavor and the tenderness of the meat. Did you know that almost every Indian restaurant uses stock food that comes in vats and is filled with preservatives along with frozen meat that is flavorless and lacking any nutrients? Well, not here!!! They use meats from a butcher that is never frozen, fresh vegetables and they even grind their own spices! Every dish is made to order (so be patient, it is worth every second!) To say this is one of the best Indian food spots we have ever had the pleasure of trying says A LOT because we eat Indian food from all over the country when we travel. We HIGHLY recommend you run to this spot and be nourished and fulfilled with their lovingly prepared food that definitely will make you wish you had room for more!

The food was incredibly delicious, and the service was great. The prices were fairly reasonable, and the staff was very friendly. A big plus is that they can customize your order to meet your needs, such as gluten-free and dairy-free dishes.

We were very happy with our lunch service at Mirchi Massala. The waitress was very kind and friendly to start. We were the only other table during our visit, and we ordered off the menu instead of having the buffet. Our butter chicken and lamb korma accompanied by jeera rice and garlic naan was seasoned very well and flavorful. I also had the mango lassi – it was topped with nuts and dried petals for presentation, which added a nice textural element and taste when enjoying the fresh drink. I believe it was the owner who checked on us twice, halfway through our meal and at the end to see how we liked it, in which he was grateful we enjoyed our meal. Thank you!

Mirchi Masala blew me away — not just with the food, but how spotless and well-kept everything was. It’s honestly one of the cleanest restaurants I’ve been to. The tables, floors, and even the kitchen area looked spotless, which really shows the pride they take in their business.
The food was top-notch — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. You can tell nothing here sits around; everything tastes freshly prepared.
And seeing the father-and-son duo running the show was awesome. They were kind, welcoming, and genuinely care about giving every customer a great experience.
Fresno’s got a lot of good food, but this spot stands out for both its quality and care — highly recommend.

I stopped by with my toddler and infant. I ate from the buffet. Service was impeccable Food was delicious. I absolutely loved all of their appetizer options. Their chicken curry is amazing. Their butter chicken could use some more of that tomato flavor. Their Naan was good. It was a bit bland but light and paired perfectly with the food because it didn’t override the flavor of their food. I was grateful to eat here today. Thank you for having me.

I am so happy i found this restaurant just driving by, from the moment i walked in i already liked it. They greeted me at the door very kindly, it was clean and oh how i loved how everything was blue it was a fancy restaurant. The waitress helping was so sweet, answered all my questions, she was kind and knowledgeable ( sorry everyone i didnt get her name ) there was a complimentary soup, it was good but to spicy for me. I was recommended to try the vegetarian dish with the sauces, colorful and flavorful with kick of spice in it. I tried the darker sauce which was sweet and tangy and interesting. The cucumber i would absolutely not eat again, spicy and odd flavor. The vegetable biryani i loved especially because the peas were not soft. The butter chicken was delicious, wish the white sauce was added more and level 4 spicy was too much for me if you are not a spicy eater get lower, and that garlic naan just so good cant get enough. I am going back even if im eating alone. I loved how the owner came and talked to us, paid about 50 bucks for everything.

Food was exceptional! Prices are extreme for a small tub of Butter chicken and nan. It would be nice if the food was in the larger portions. My total was $28.17 for 2 items.
