Description
The instant you walk into Mirch Masala in Capitol Hill, the servers greet you warmly, as if they've been preparing a meal in anticipation of your arrival. Specializing in classic Indian cuisine, the restaurant's chef Sanjay Sharma uses recipes handed down in his family over several generations. The butter chicken is so tender it practically melts in your mouth, the lamb boti masala is drenched in a creamy, seasoned stew. You can sample a dozen or more of Sharma's specialties during the impressive $7.95 lunch buffet (11 a.m.-3 p.m. daily), as long as you don't fill up on the fresh naan they bring to your table.
