Mirchi & Mine boasts a unique and admirable concept with a good ambiance. The wait staff, who are hearing and speech-impaired, provide exceptional service using sign language. The menu includes clear instructions on how to communicate your order, and the staff is well-trained to assist in every way possible. We tried tandoori potato and paneer tacos, and these dishes were delicious. While the food is pricey, the quality and presentation are excellent. Nevertheless, the menu is somewhat limited. Overall, the dining experience is pleasant and heartwarming, with a memorable touch of inclusivity.
The restaurant staff is mostly people with hearing disorders. Their special power is Sign Language.
The servers are very attentive and prompt to anticipate your needs.
The food is delicious. Check out the photos. The lollipop chicken is very spicy! I loved it.
The 'Mirchi & Mime Powai, one of the favourite hangout place for Bombay people.
As you enter the place, a magnificent setting, a delightful vibes and the luxuries of modernity welcome you. Sitting in any table, you have a wonderful view of the interior -like kitchen where you can see the chefs working.
The menu offers a wide variety of mouth- watering starters. I had paneer seekh, Dori Kabab, Stuffed Mushrooms & chicken tikka tacos accompanied by refreshing mock-tails . They were exquisite. All the products were fresh and the dishes had the warmth of homemade food.
The chefs take great care in selecting the best quality ingredients. What a pity that the service does not accompany the high quality of the cooking. You can hardly get a smile out of the waiters.
And not to forget, this is the first of its kind in India, served exclusively by speech & hearing-impaired service staff.
Despite the high price of the food, I had a pleasant dining experience with food of the most exquisite flavours. For this reason, I highly recommend going to the this place.
The staff here is mostly hearing and speaking impaired but they do an exceptional job in taking the order and ensuring everything for you.
The Celery Asparagus Soup was amazing and very nicely done. The celery flavor was exceptional.
The Amritsari Stuffed Kulcha - nicely done, sweetened a bit, paneer stuffed mini Kulchas. 4 pieces per plate
The corn water chestnut tikki - was nice, a lot of corn and a bit too sweet, but okay overall.
Dal and Rice that we ordered for main course was also overall nicely done.
paan gulkaand Kulfi - this was simply amazing, kulfi layered with the regular pan and served with gulkaand on the side.
Overall, great experience, very friendly and courteous staff. Definitely worth it
A concept restaurant where most of the working staff is deaf and dumb and the word mime in the restaurant name is for them. Despite of being differently abled they get your concerns right and also explain others what they wanna say.
Totally a different experience! Loved it!
Coming to the food, we ordered a veg platter and it was just average and some dishes were also below average for ex Bengali Paneer Tikka and Stuffed Kulcha(Replaced it with Mushroom)

This place has great vibe, the staff here are having hearing and speech impaired yet they are prompt in their service and it's a delightful experience to interact with time in sign language. The food is delicious, we ordered water chestnut and corn tikki which are very creamy and tasty. Kari chicken tikka was also tender and fresh. For mains we ordered mutton Nalli Nihari, the meat was tender and juicy. Overall great experience, delicious food and it's worth the visit.
I recently visited Mirchi and Mime for lunch, located in Powai next to Bayroute, and it left quite an impression on me. What sets this restaurant apart is its noble mission to employ specially abled individuals who are deaf and mute, making it a meaningful and heartwarming place to support.
In terms of ambiance, Mirchi and Mime offers a pleasant atmosphere with attractive interiors, a well-designed bar counter, and comfortable furnishings. While it may not be considered high-end, it certainly surpasses the expectations of most diners.
The staff, despite their hearing impairment, displayed remarkable attentiveness and a cheerful demeanor, which added to the overall charm of the place.
Now, onto the food. Mirchi and Mime serves a variety of traditional Indian dishes like paneer, mushroom, dal roti, and biryani, though it doesn't venture into exotic culinary territory. The taste of the dishes is fair, falling into the average category. However, the presentation of the food is commendable. The mocktails, while not outstanding, are satisfactory, and the desserts stand out as a highlight.
Cost-wise, Mirchi and Mime offers reasonable pricing, considering its prime location. Additionally, the convenience of valet parking enhances the overall experience.
In conclusion, Mirchi and Mime is a restaurant worth visiting for its commendable mission, inviting ambiance, and reasonable pricing. While the food and mocktails may not be extraordinary, the warm atmosphere and friendly service from the specially-abled staff make it a meaningful dining experience. I would rate my overall experience between 3.5 to 4 stars, with the restaurant's mission deserving special recognition.
