Awards form a big part of the motivation for not just the management but also for the staff to perform better. Mirch Masala is the recipient of Times Food and Nightlife Awards in the Best North Indian Restaurant category for the past 10 years. These awards are organized every year by The Times of India Group in which top restaurants are nominated across various categories in the city. Once the nominations are decided, the winner is decided based on the number of votes received by the respective restaurant.
