There isn't much to say - just go in Monday to Friday at lunch for their thali sets. They cost around RMB 45, and come with either meat or vegetable curry, several starters, bread and rice. The bread is great - usually soft and warm, not stiff and poppadum-crisp. The curries are filling and the taste is pretty fine indeed.

The flexibility of the lunch options also distinguishes Mirch Masala's Ritan Highlife venue. You'll be stuffed after the thali - guaranteed - but if you prefer an all-out feast, you can instead get stuck into the buffet. I've never gone that route so can't comment, but it's good to have the choice of both thali and buffet.

If you work around the Ritan area, you'll likely return again and again for lunch. My office is a 10-15 minute taxi ride away, and we've gone several times over the past six months. I've never made it to dinner at Mirch, but it's certainly on the "must-do" list.
