Talking of regional representation in the menu, there isMalabar fish curry, Lagaan ka posht Murg pashtoonand Ajwaini mahi tikka, a popular dish fromPunjab.

In vegetarian, aloo mirch ka salan and paneer pashtooni are too good to resisit. For dessert, you have the fresh and delicious "chuski" in many flavours - kala khatta, khus and gulab, etc.

Talking about Mirchi, Ranjiv Kumar, the restaurant owner, says, "Mirchi is a creation of my own imagination and my beliefs about a perfect restaurant. I don't believe in sticking to a particular dish, , I wanted a mixture of all, an one-stop restaurant where you can find all kinds of spicy dishes from all parts of India."

He says his restaurant uses "self-prepared masalas rather than the adulterated ones available in the market."
