Mirchh Masala

One of the few genuinely good desi spots in Brisbane. We tried their Thali with kofta, paneer and daal — the kofta and paneer weren’t great, but the daal and rice really hit the mark.We also had the Kulcha Chole and Chole Bhature — the Bhature definitely won that round since the kulcha was just plain white flour. The Aloo Paratha, though, was super flavorful, especially with the achar. Overall, a nice experience!

⭐ 1 star I had a very poor experience with Mirch Masala Woolloongabba and feel it’s important to share this publicly. I placed an order through their official website and selected a pickup time of 1:30 pm. I received an email confirmation clearly stating the 1:30 pm pickup time, and the docket provided with the food also shows the same pickup time. At 12:36 pm, I called the restaurant to ask if the food could be prepared 10–20 minutes earlier as a courtesy. As soon as I gave my name, the staff member told me “your order is ready.” I explained that my selected pickup time was 1:30 pm. He then claimed they “didn’t receive it properly on the system,” which is not my responsibility, as the order was placed correctly and confirmed by their own website. I clearly told him I was around 30 minutes away. Instead of addressing the issue properly, the response was dismissive and unhelpful. When I arrived, I refused to accept cold food. I was told they would prepare a fresh order, so I waited another 20–25 minutes. During this time, I highlighted the pickup time on the docket. The paper is noticeably faded around that section, as if an attempt was made to hide it, but the pickup time is still clearly visible and starts with “01:”, confirming it was a 1:30 pm order. When I got home and opened the food, it was very obvious that the same food had simply been reheated, not freshly prepared. This is easy to tell and completely unacceptable. This situation appears to be a kitchen or internal process error, yet I was given cold food, poor customer service, and then reheated food instead of a genuine remake. There was no accountability or honesty. Given the clear evidence on both the email confirmation and docket, I will be lodging an official complaint with Queensland Fair Trading. I would not recommend this business unless serious improvements are made to their order handling and customer service.

This restaurant is located right above a large Indian grocery store with a really good selection, which is always a promising sign. The menu has plenty of classic North Indian options. I was craving some authentic Indian street food and ordered several entrees that really hit the spot. The flavors were rich and everything tasted great. The portions were generous and filling too. The indoor setting is cozy and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout the meal.

Food is fairly average. We ordered chole bhature, whilst the bhature were good, chole lacks a punch. The type of chole used by them are also the big ones which means lack in texture and taste. Masala dosa - dosa was good including the stuffing, sambhar is no where near authentic. Pao bhaji is alright. The tea is very tasty but has a lot of sugar in it. We requested a sugar free tea for my dad, which for some reason was not an option. Its an ok joint, price is little high for the food that is being served. Wont make a trip just for the food.

Excellent food and comes with the relief of being a pure veg facility. Restraunt is tidy and welcoming with long opening hours. Have tried their Chhola Bhatura and Masala Dosa, both exceeded expectations. Looking forward to trying more. One also has the option to buy Indian groceries from their store on ground floor.

Ordered through Uber Eats with clear instructions however they were not followed. Also messy delayed delivery by Uber Eats, lots of spillage. Done in May be a better option

Visited Mirch Masala at Woolloongabba, Brisbane (200 km from home) and bought a few items. They have a good range of Indian groceries, frozen food, masalas, sweets, utensils, and pooja items. But was very disappointed to find I was overcharged for Mysore Pak. It was labelled $17.50 for 500g, but I was billed $39.99/kg as Kaju sweet. This kind of carelessness is unacceptable. The person labelling sweets needs to be more accurate and responsible. It feels unfair and dishonest. Customers should be able to trust what’s displayed. Not a pleasant experience. Hence, just 2 stars.

Had an amazing chole bhtura experience at Mirch Masala.The food was fresh and flavorful. Special thanks to Rajdeep and Inder who made the whole experience even better – super friendly, attentive, and smiling face. Little things like that make a big difference. Highly recommend both the food and the warm service here! Thank you so much.
