<div class="old_info">
Indian restaurant in [[Locale Croydon|Croydon]], part of [[Category Mirch Masala|a small chain]]. It also does takeaway and delivery, with online ordering [http://www.feastexpress.com/grd?id=11524 via Feast Express], [https://hungryhouse.co.uk/mirch-masala-croydon via Hungry House], and [http://www.just-eat.co.uk/restaurants-mirchmasala-cr0/menu via Just Eat]. According to their frontage as of July 2012, they are halal.

[[Kake]] and [[bob]] tried the delivery option in January 2015. The food arrived within the promised time, and all correct in terms of what we asked for.

Grilled lamb chops (&pound;6) were cut quite thin, and lacked any crispy fat, but this is a comment on style rather than a criticism, and they worked well this way. The spicing was good, and the meat was neither overcooked nor undercooked.

Karahi fish (&pound;7) was also good; the fish was cooked just right, and the sauce was flavourful.

Bhindi masala (&pound;5.50) was nicely savoury, with plenty of well-caramelised finely-sliced onions, and not too greasy; it was a dry dish rather than one with sauce, but this worked well.

Unfortunately both the breads we ordered &#8212; methi paratha (&pound;2) and onion kulcha (&pound;1.50) &#8212; were dry and hard, as if they'd been cooked a long time in advance of delivery. Plain rice (&pound;2) was fine though.

[[Kake]]'s verdict: I'd order from here again, though I'd avoid the bread &#8212; this is the second branch of Mirch Masala where I've experienced stale bread!
