Mirra - (Near Chicago, IL)

5 /5 Ryan Wantland: Who knew Mexican and Indian flavors marry so well? Mirra was a true delight from start to finish and each dish was bursting with flavor. Our delightful server guided us well and two of us shared two smaller and two larger plates. We started with two newer items on their menu: the Mirra Salad (perfectly dressed with a mildly spicy lime dressing and crispy lentil noodles) and Baked Paneer (generous portion served with tortillas, a delectable garlic sauce, salsa macha, and another refreshing salsa) The Pollo Rostizado was super moist with a beautifully seasoned skin, only to be followed with the Lamb Barbacoa Biryani that almost looked too photogenic to eat. We had no room for dessert so we’ll have to come back again! If Mirra is on your radar, don’t hesitate! They’re doing everything right.

4 /5 Sameet Sapra: Unique Mexican Indian fusion! There were some risky dishes but every dish was presented well and the menu was small but everything looked so good it was hard to choose. I liked the mushroom quesadilla a lot, it was extremely flavorful. I think next time I come I’d order more of the small plates so we can try more dishes. Not a huge fan of the prawn chaat, it was messy to eat and it kinda took away from it being chaat. The tandoori hen was pretty flavorful but the sauces were carrying the seasoning on the chicken. I would have liked it to be more red and the skin to be more flavorful. The lamb biryani was quite good, there was a lot of lamb. I did expect the rice to be a bit more seasoned. In fact that seems to be a pattern with this place - needed a bit more seasoning to be more Indian, and some of the dishes lost the original essence of the Indian dish it took inspiration from.

5 /5 Leon Corbeille: Overall, outstanding food and drinks and would go back again and again. The aguachile, tacos arabe, and whole fish (red snapper) were the highlights, but everything was good. The aguachile had the perfect amount of heat and the buttermilk sauce (?) paired well perfectly with it. The only knock on the tacos arabe is that I wanted more of them as that was probably the best bite of the meal. The cauliflower was also outstanding and I want them to do the crispy taco with something besides scallops as I prefer other raw seafood over scallops. We will be going back with a group so we can get the biryani as we saw quite a few of these being ordered and it looked great.

4 /5 Rutwik Jain: Good food! Went for the special 4-course NYE menu. For four courses, the quantity was good too! Personally though, the main course was the weakest of the 4, the sauce was a bit salty. Moreover, given the enormous diversity of vegetarian main dishes in both Indian and Mexican cuisines, the roasted lions mane mushroom with a tartar sauce seemed not fitting enough for a main course at Mirra. The desserts however were exceptional! If youre going a la carte, make sure to try the rasmalai tres leches, its divine! Loved the desserts so much, we didnt end up taking any photos before gobbling them up! Service was also exceptional, they take really good care of their customers.

5 /5 Ricardo Perez: This was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had in a Chicago restaurant. Each item was incredibly thoughtful, and brilliantly done. I wish I had two stomachs that enjoy more. Service was excellent as well, all of the wait staff was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. Our main server Fidel was warm and friendly. We felt at home
