Mirch Mantra's food is by far the best vegetarian-based multi-regional Indian food I've had. Friendly service and great attention to detail. Delicately spiced meals that were obviously cooked with care and passion. Love their weekly menu and look forward to their brunch options when they offer it. Really appreciate the eco-friendly packaging! Cannot recommend them enough. Read less

One of the best Indian vegetarian meals we have had in Northern Virginia. What makes it one of the best is that all items are made fresh including the soft rotis. The place is clean and welcoming. They have limited order quantity, fixed menu items of the day, and you need to order between specific times. Monali who is the chef and owner is a delight to meet with. She explained how the stainless steel tiffin pick-up and returns work and shared that she doesn’t cook anything different for her family’s dinner. Looking forward to trying more items!!! Read less

Amazing food. Fresh and Eco friendly. Best tasting homemade Indian vegetarian food in NoVA. I discovered their website two weeks before I actually got the opportunity to get their food. I came across it when I was looking to order dinner one evening. But no, I couldn't get one. Had to order between 10-1 pm. So, I forgot about them for a while. So, I finally walked in one day between that time to order lunch. I still couldn't get my hands on their food. But Monali was friendly and helpful in explaining their process. I learned that brunch has to be ordered beforehand and I could order dinner now via the website. I returned home with one amazing Ginger Turmeric milk from the Elaichi Tea part of the restaurant, determined more than ever to order and taste the ever elusive food. I collected my food that evening, and I've been doing so for many evenings ever since. The food and the rotating menu and the quantity is great !! Freshness and nutrition in every bite. Initially, I was not that enthusiastic to try the tiffin Dabba. I've gotten used to the convenience of disposables and felt lazy to return it. Thought of it as an additional responsibility. ( they do supply food in disposable for an additional fee though. 2$ or something) But now, I'm really happy that I tried the Tiffin Dabba system. I started dining in at restaurants despite Covid, because almost all of the Indian restaurants stuff scaldingly hot food directly into cheap plastic boxes. I was really concerned. Didn't have a choice. But now I do. There's less waste. And also I feel more happy about not adding to that pile of climate changing, planet killing plastic. 1. Open their website from 10 to 1 (For some reason, can't order on my laptop as the payment page doesn't let me enter the card details.) 2. Order dinner. 3. Pick-up between 6-7:30 4. EAT & REPEAT !! It's wholesome ! Read less
