It is certainly the best restaurant in Catonsville, and you won't have to pay $50 for one dish (like you would at say Beaumont). We have like 10 favorite things on the menu--I just tried 2 new dishes last night--and now maybe that number is up to 12. You basically can't have a bad order, the food is absolutely delicious. If you like spicy food and ask for spicy, they will actually make it spicy which is SO nice. (Usually when I ask for spicy and emphasize SPICY anywhere I go, I get a mega mellow spiced dish and it's hugely disappointing). My top orders are chicken xacuti, kerala fish curry, kashmiri naan, mixed spicy pickles, and malai kofta. Oh, and kheer (so good). I love it all. Not only is the food phenomenal, the ambiance and service is top notch. The dining room is absolutely gorgeous and spotless. The front of house staff wears button up shirts and dress pants. There are fresh flowers (and if I remember correctly, candles) on the tables. There are beautiful murals painted on the walls. It's absolutely romantic. And! Cherry on top: it's BYO, so you can bring your own bottle of wine. Absolutely a gem on Frederick Rd.

I've seen this spot when driving in Catonsville and have been meaning to test it out. I ordered some veggie samosas and saag paneer (spinach sauce with cheese chunks). The samosas were very good, a little spicy, and came with a green and brown sauce. The saag paneer wasn't my favorite, it was very concentrated and the spinach flavor was incredibly overwhelming. It was bitter and I had to stop eating it. When I ate the second portion, I added some heavy cream to lighten up the flavor and it was a little bit better, but I've had better saag paneer. I would try this spot again, especially since it's so close.

"I can't wait to come back here." - my father, after our lunch here…read more Saw signs promoting Mirchi popping up in the area and I figured I'd try them out. Came in for lunch with my dad and we loved everything about it. The inside has a classy ambiance with plenty of tables and a full bar. We were the first customers, but the place filled up shortly after. I'm of European descent, but I take it as a good sign for a place like this when pretty much all the other clientele appeared to be South Asian. They started us off with a complimentary papadum basket with cilantro-mint chutney and tamarind sauces. Delightful. We ordered two appetizers: Vegetable pakora and chili pepper paneer. The vegetable pakora was interesting. I'm used to a mix of veggies fried in their own way, but these were fritters that seemed to be a mix of onion, potato, and I think zucchini. It worked, especially with the chutneys to top it off. The sizzling paneer was also great - nice and crispy crust with a perfect spicy glaze. I'd get either of these again. For the mains, we got Chicken Korma and Malai Kofta. When our waiter asked for our spice preference, we both said medium. I think medium was perfect, even though I'm used to a mild Malai Kofta. I think it was my father's upper spice limit, but he loved his Korma. Both sauces were easy to mop up with some butter naan. Even a simple cup of masala tea was memorable - perfect amount of spices and milk to mellow them out. Would drink this again. Our waiter was attentive but gave us space to enjoy the meal and each other's company without frequent interruption. According to our waiter, they have lunch buffets on the weekend only. He added that Sunday is the bigger day of the two. Maybe I'll come back one of those days to sample more of the variety of offerings. Wouldn't change a thing. Great experience. Definitely recommend.

My husband placed a carryout order by phone for Chicken Tikka and Chicken Kabob to be picked up at 5:30. He called it in around 4:30. We specifically set the pick up time so that it would be ready when I was done with my nail appointment down the street. When I arrived, they apparently misunderstood and thought he wanted to place the order at 5:30. The staff member who may have been the owner apologized and said that it would take ten minutes. It was more like 20-25 minutes. Based on the orders I heard by phone and in person, all patrons were told their orders would take approximately 30 minutes to prepare. I don't know what the average wait time typically is, but it seems long to me. When I got home, my husband said that his order of Chicken Tikka was actually Chicken Botti. Although the order was wrong, he said it was decent. My Chicken Kabob, however, was horrible. Although I am generally sensitive to spices and seasoning, I have enjoyed Kabobs at other places. My husband generally likes Kabobs, but said it was not good and threw it away. He said Kabobs are typically on skewers and not ground meat. I had to heat up frozen food and wasted $12.99 on something I couldn't even eat. My husband said he would return to try the Chicken Tikka, but he's on his own. I won't be returning.

Where the former business seems like they just did Indian food (this is based on their website, I never actually got the chance to go there), this new restaurant offers a few Indian dishes, Halal chicken and kebabs as well as American thing like fried chicken sandwiches and chicken wings. To test the waters, so to speak, I called in an order for the chicken botti over rice and was given a 15 minute time frame. When I arrived 15 minutes later, the order had been prepared and was waiting for me. I got the chicken botti with rice and they included a little container of a fantastic minty-herby green sauce for the chicken as well as a little side salad with romaine and chopped tomato, cucumber and red onion! This was a lot of food! Definitely enough for two, or leftovers for the next day. A coworker later went down and returned with samosas and chicken biryani so they possibly offer more selections than what they show on their website? Either way, I definitely will be ordering from here again and I suggest you do too!
