I had heard good things about this restaurant, but unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. I ordered the firecracker chicken, which surprisingly tasted more like fish to me. The chili chicken was okay, nothing mind blowing, and the chili garlic noodles were decent at best. For the price, I expected much more because this place is not cheap, but the food quality felt lacking.
It honestly tasted like some of the dishes had been reheated rather than made fresh. My husband and I have tried a lot of restaurants, and this one just did not meet our expectations. The worst part was that I had invited a guest, and it ended up being a bit embarrassing. I know some people might feel differently and enjoy it, but this was our experience. Sadly, I do not see myself coming back. The flavors and freshness just did not justify the cost or the hype surrounding this spot.

I absolutely love Red Hot Chilli Pepper! The blend of Indian and Asian fusion cuisine makes every dish flavorful with just the right touch of spice. The service was excellent, attentive, and friendly. I highly recommend starting with the Manchurian cauliflower appetizer—it’s incredible. Overall, Red Hot Chilli Pepper offers a fantastic dining experience that I can’t recommend enough!

Let me save you some time — please, please try their Dry Gobi Manchurian (spice level: HOT — only if you dare). It’s insanely good. Like, “where-have-you-been-all-my-life” good. You’ll thank me later. ️
I also tried the Hakka Noodles… let’s just say they were on a silent mode. Bland and boring — definitely not the star of the show.
Can’t wait to go order again and explore more next time — but that Gobi Manchurian? It’s already on my repeat list.

We tried Red Hot Chilli Pepper recently and found it to be a decent spot for Indo-Chinese cuisine. We sampled a few vegetarian dishes, including Manchow soup, fried rice, and chilli garlic noodles. The noodles were a bit soggy for our taste, but the dry Gobi Manchurian and pan-fried chilli paneer were quite flavorful and well done. Overall, a satisfying experience and worth a visit if you’re craving Indo-Chinese food.

Went there for a valentine’s day dinner here. They welcomed us with complimentary drinks and a rose, which i felt was a very sweet touch. At the end of the meal they gave us complimentary desert which was also a valentine’s day special. The service was excellent. Food was also very good.
We order dry chilli chicken. It was 10/10. Calcutta chicken and hakka noddles. Highly recommended.
They have a variety of veg and non veg options. ALL MEAT IS HALAL. Definitely would visit this restaurant again

Hot n Sour Soup was delicious and very loaded, just the way we like it.
Manchow soup was loaded too but it was very bland, had to put a lot of sauces to make it edible.
Chicken Lettuce Cups were not so exciting, some lettuce leaves with the same chicken mixture that was used in Manchow Soup with sweet chili sauce on the side. They should really dress up the lettuce cups with different toppings and sauces.
Dry Chili Chicken was truly delicious and a Hit.
Rose Fizz drink was fizzy with a hint of rose in it, refreshing.
Strawberry Lime Soda was sour with very little of strawberry taste.

It is really sad how this place has fallen over the past year or so. It used to be a hangout place we looked forward to once in 6 or so months to have a nice time, good food, innovative drinks and dessert, all over good service. It has sadly gone down the hill quite shockingly.
Service is at best, mediocre when crowded. The frequency of visiting from the waiting and serving staff is horribly low, there is almost zero personalization or conversation, the staff don’t seem to be knowledgeable enough on the menu to give you recommendations.
The ambience is still decent around the bar, but feels like a dungeon inside leading into the ‘banquet’ hall. It is narrow and does not allow for any privacy or conversation when crowded. Leave alone the fact that there are no views or windows to speak of.
Food, this is the biggest let down. Presentation is a zero, freshness is a 3, taste is a 2 and overall less than 3. The appetizers seem pre-made as evidenced by the speed of their showing up after order, the temperature at serving and the freshness of the ingredients. It sets you off to a poor start and does not get better. The menu is conducive to reuse of ingredients, but looks like the search for efficiency and better profit margins have compromised the quality pretty severely. I was almost left wondering if we were served leftovers from the banquet vs. food made to order!
Being vegetarians, we typically order the Manchurian coins, the Tofu Vegetables and Schezwan fried rice. There is no character, flavor, spice or heat on the food. Quite horrific of an experience, now two times in a row. The hosts do not seem to care or attend to concerns. Superficially they do respond by heating the food and replacing it, but it seemed more like a chore or obligation vs. passion or proactive customer empathy.
When humans lose passion, AI can do better. This restaurant seems to be on a serious decline and pretty desperately needs help. I can’t say for sure, but they are either struggling financially or are getting too greedy. It might also have been a couple of bad samples, but with so many things off, is it a really bad sampling or a sign of decline? A premier restaurant lives or dies based on service above everything else and this one seems to be on the wrong trajectory. We will consider other options before coming back to this one.

Great tasting Indo Chinese food. They have great extra spicy, extra hot food too. Good service and love the ambience too.
Even though the service was good, but we were made to wait for over 20 to 25 minutes before someone even came to greet us and give us some water. But once the order was placed the food was served very fast. We were made to sit in the back room, but that room is very claustrophobic and dark and we were all feeling extremely hot in there. Seems like very little ventilation in there.
In spite of all that, I love the food and the restaurant overall, so still giving it a five star.
