Ashburn Restaurant Guide

Mirchi with its made to-order food prepared with fresh masalas, vegetables and meat, with great ambience and casual atmosphere is one of the best places to eat in Ashburn, Virginia.

Mirchi (mir-chi meaning hot peppers) is a casual contemporary Indian fusion restaurant, featuring traditional north, mughlai, south, hyderabadi and Indo-Chinese dishes. The hyderabadi cuisine features key flavors of coconut, tamarind, peanuts and sesame seeds. The key spice is chilli, (Mirchi), which is used in abundance and is the reason for the one word used to describe hyderabadi cuisine - " fiery!". Hyderabadi cuisine draws its flavors from two rich legacies - the Deccan cuisine of Nizams with its delectable biryanis (rice flavored with meat and vegetables), haleem (pounded wheat and mutton dish) and kebabs, and spicy Andhra style of food, laced with mustard, garlic and chillies and eaten with doles of chutney and pickle. We cook and serve popular hyderabadi dishes like hyderabadi biryani, mughlai dishes, chicken korma, Double-ka-meetha , Gajar-ka-halwa etc.

The Indo-Chinese cuisine is a blend of Chinese wok (Kadai) cooking and traditional Indian spices, resulting in more flavorful and tastier dishes.
