So the Hellcat and I were traveling through Decatur some weeks ago when I blurted out, "Man, I haven't had any Indian food in a long time." It just so happens that we were passing by Mirch Masala and the Hellcat said we should stop by and check it out.
So I quickly turned the car into the parking lot and it was off to Indian heaven. Their menu is very diverse as well as very tasty. There are many different ways to start meal, but my choice would be to go for the variety of Naan they have to offer. From Garlic Naan, Keema (lamb) Naan, Bullet (garlic chili paste) Naan and the regular, any choice would be be a good one. Hellcat and I have tried them all and I like the Kema Naan because the lamb is baked right it the fresh dough and Hellcat enjoys that Garlic -- it is what it is -- different strokes for different folks as they say.
Besides trying the Naan's we also tried the Keema Samosa to which we both agreed that they are off the chain -- moist lamb, crispy crust and perfectly cooked -- there is an Indian type applesauce they put on the table -- make sure you get some of that sauce with your samosas. There other appetizers that will tickle the fancy that feature chicken, veggies and yes, more lamb. The Lamb Sheekh is another standout. Lamb is formed around a metal skewer and then grilled to perfection, pulled off the skewer and placed on a bed of sizzling onions. Cash Money all the way!!!
The entrees are very large portions -- you will be taking home a doggie bag from here. We samples a few of the entrees from the Chicken Tikka (chicken marinated in various herbs and spices, grilled and sent out on a sizzle platter, Bombay-Aloo (Hearty Chucks of Potato with tomatoes & peas served with a curry gravy and Lamb Curry (Chunks of Lamb stewed in this bas ass dark curry). Mostly all the entrees are served with a nutty basmati rice that pairs well with most of the dishes.
The service staff is very friendly and takes the time to explain the menu for us non-Indian folk -- although I will state that the few times myself & Hellcat went to Mirch Masala there were more Americans that Indian. If you are in the Decatur area and are craving for the favorite curry it is definitely worth the trip.
