Mango Mirchi Restaurant — Restaurant in Mississauga

I will totally agree with a few reviews here about the quantity of food. We've ordered their weekly menu about 3-4 times now and though the food is not too bad as far as taste is concerned, I must say it lacks quantity for the price they charge. The weekly meal menu says 24oz container which is the size of container they give you but the amount of food is equivalent to a 12-15 oz container. And it's not just the "pricey" items like clams but even veg items are not filled properly. We are only 2 people at home working different shifts so this meal plan was supposed to be convenient. However since the quantity they provide is so poor, we have to order additional food from outside mid-week or even end up cooking at home after a 12-hr shift. What is the point of giving you a big size container when the food you get is filled only half container? I think the way they advertise weekly meal size is very misleading for customers. A couple of our friends also shared similar thoughts. Mango Mirchi please increase your quantities in the containers you provide otherwise advertise a smaller size container for a lesser price. I am sure customers will appreciate the honesty and may even order 2 meals since smaller sizes are not enough.

Another thing as most people mentioned in reviews is that the food is pre-made and frozen for weekly meals. I understand that for large orders all the items cannot be made on the same day but even their pulao rice is cold. There is a competitor restaurant not far from them and their quantities have been really appropriate with 24oz containers being always full to the brim and 95% of the food is always hot and fresh.

We like the food at Mango Mirchi but it is very disappointing that their quantities and freshness does not come to par with...

Update Sept 18

Tried this place again. This time was not to happy with dishes portions my mother received. Heres is my ratings

Goa sausage Palo 3.5/5(barely any sausage and dish was 3/4 full) Mango Shrimp Curry 3.5/5 (only few shrimp) Red chicken curry 1/5 (one quarter chicken leg cut up in curry. Tasted as if it was frozen. Very bland and awful l. Threw it out Pork chilli - 1.5/5 (this tasted as if it was cooked a month ago. The pork was so over cooked.) Samosas 4.5/5 I really enjoyed their beef samosa . They were delicious Pomfret curry - 3/5 the fish had a very fishy flavour. Maybe frozen and defrosted after long time or need better cleaning..

I have told my mother Pam never to bring this garbage food to my house ever again to try!

That's the realist review

Yesterday my mother brought food from there and this is my review of the dishes we tried.

Chicken Biryani - 3/10 it was very salty and lots of broken bones in it Goa Sausage - 2/10 was very spicy and salty and did not have goa vinegar taste at all. I don't think it was made fresh as it was ice cold. Beef Chilly Fry - 2/10 the potatoes in it were I believe cavendish wedges and the beef was cheap cut and the taste was not very good. Worst chily fry I have had. Chicken Wings 6/10 they were saucy and very spicy. The taste was okay

Then there were some puff pastry beef and chicken apps. I would give them 4/10 - They were mostly all puff pastry, with very little meat inside..

I definitely would not recommend the dishes I tried. I actually threw most in garbage. I am not certain of any other Goan restaurants around, but would not call this Goan food.

I hope this helped anyone looking for a honest...

Having resided in Goa for quite some time, I am quite a connoisseur when it comes to Goan-cooking. After visiting Mango Mirchi for the seventh time, I decided to edit my review to include the following recommendation which I can assure you with confidence that you'll love: If you wish to experience an authentic Goan meal, you must try the Chorizo Chilli (Goan pork sausage) together with an order of Sannas. Both items are traditionally Goan and are best served at this restaurant because they bring back the true taste of home.

Over my frequent visits I have had the pleasure of sampling many of their fine offerings and what I can tell you is that you'd think you're in Goa while you're eating.

For an appetizer I recommend the Beef Potato Chops or the Fish Croquettes, or better yet, both. For the main dish, besides the above-mentioned Chorizo, you can have a Prawn or Veg Biryani, both are absolutely tasty and well, 'justa like mama used to make'. Or if you are a fish lover you must sample their Mackerel or Golden Pomfret Fry.

Have a sweet tooth? They make a delicious Bibinka and Rum cakes.

The prices are quite reasonable when you consider that Goan dishes are simply not readily available in the GTA food market as are your Chinese restaurants. Truth be told, I believe that the prices may very well be under-priced and that's because it's a ma & pa (run by Desmond and Irine) restaurant.

Try some Goan dishes at the Mango Mirchi the next time you are feeling adventurous and I can assure you will fall in love with...
