Mirch Masala Authentic Indian Restaurant

Daal Makhani

Black lentils slow-cooked until they collapse into a silky, buttery stew with a deep, smoky undertow — one of the best renditions in the GTA.

Chicken Karahi

Bone-in chicken cooked in a cast-iron karahi with tomatoes, green chilis, and ginger over high heat — bright, juicy, and the dish that defines the menu.

Nihari

Slow-braised beef shank in a deeply spiced gelatinous broth — a Pakistani breakfast classic that takes patience to execute, and Mirch Masala gets it right.

Butter Chicken

Less sweet than chain versions, with a noticeable tang in the tomato-cream base that keeps it from cloying.

Haleem

A thick slow-cooked porridge of lentils, wheat, and braised meat — earthy, heavily spiced, and texturally unlike anything else on the menu.

Biryani

Fragrant basmati rice layered with meat and whole spices — aromatic and substantial enough to anchor the meal on its own.

Garlic Naan

Blistered in the tandoor and finished with butter and fresh garlic — essential alongside any curry on the table.

Mango Lassi

Thick yogurt drink blended with ripe mango — a reliable palate cooler when the karahi spice builds up.
