★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Akshay Bhagat · Feb 2026

The food is very bad and expensive to boot. I got the hong kong lamb which tasted gamey and was extremely salty. The chilli baby corn was very lemony and otherwise had very little flavor. The pepper chicken was not spicy and was bogged down with tons of corn starch. The sechzwan fried rice had no umami and was once again poorly seasoned. The rice was not day old rice which is fried rice 101. The drums of heaven were ok. Service was ok. The robot servers were cool. The ambience is meh. Will definitely not be going back.

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 fr

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!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tonduru Kanchana · Mar 2026

Had a great experience at Red Hot Chilli Pepper! The food was delicious and full of flavor. We ordered a few dishes and everything tasted fresh and authentic. A special shoutout to Savio, who took excellent care of us. He was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His service really made the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great Indo-Chinese food and warm service. Will definitely be coming back!

10.2025 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. 😋
