How one of the most populated and booming office areas in Mumbai continues to lack really out standing lunch time eateries remains a mystery to me and unfortunately still remains so after my visit to Mumbai Mirchi.Mumbai Mirchi is a Punjabi restaurant with meal and a-la-carte options. The meals selling for Rs 150 is quite a serving - a bit too much for our appetite given that we had to return to work and we chose the a-la-carte option. We ordered rotis and two dishes - the standard Chicken Tikka Masala and the Chicken Mumbai Mirchi. The Mumbai Mirchi is the signature dish of the restaurant and while it is not bad - it is quite possibly the least creative dish ever conceptualized by anyone. The dish is very simply half a plate of Saag Chicken and half a plate of a dry butter chicken served in one platter. The result is a half green and half red dish containing two different preparations of chicken and unless the same is a philosophical play on how Green Muslim and Saffron Hindu combine to give a unique taste of Mumbai (which is highly doubtful :P), I am sure you agree with my comment on the chefs creativity. However the dish does not taste bad at all because one cannot go too much wrong with Saag and Butter Chicken as well. So that was that - a decent office lunch for three people, we ordered naan to accompany the dishes. The price? Reasonable but not value for money.
A meal for two at Mumbai Mirchi would cost you Rs 300/-
How to get there: Mumbai Mirchi is located just off the Western Express highway. If you are travelling from Bandra to Goregaon. Do not get on the Andheri flyover. Take the 3rd right under the flyover towards Ghatkopar. Mumbai Mirchi is on your right 20 metres from the highway.
