Every savory dish at Midnight Temple is made to order at your heat. Here is how to pick the level that is right for you.
One of the most common questions we hear is "how spicy is it?" At Midnight Temple, the answer is: as spicy as you want. Every savory dish on our menu is cooked to order, so you choose the heat.
Our four spice levels
- Mild: all of the flavor, almost none of the burn. A great place to start if you're new to Indian food.
- Medium: a gentle, warming heat that lets the spices shine. Our most popular choice.
- Hot: a real kick for people who like to feel it.
- Indian Hot: the way it's often eaten at home. Bring your appetite and maybe a mango lassi.
Flavor is not the same as heat
Indian spices like cumin, coriander, cardamom, and garam masala bring depth and aroma, not fire. Heat mostly comes from chilies, which we adjust for you. That means even a mild biryani or chana masala is full of flavor.
How to choose your level
On our menu and when you order pickup online, every savory dish has a row of chilies. Tap the level you want, and we'll cook it that way. Breads and desserts don't need a spice level, so you won't see one there.
Not sure? Start at Medium, then let us know next time if you want to go up or down. We remember regulars.
