Heard a lot about this indo Chinese cuisine! It does live up to the expectations/ hype! Nice cozy ambience :).... ordered baby corn, dry gobi Manchurian, schezwan fried rice, Hakka noddles, sizzling brownie choco ice-cream.
Appetizers are ok portion, entrees are decent portion size. Sizzling brownie I thought could had another brownie and 2nd scoop. Delicious tasty food overall. It is pricey but worth the food and taste. Would def recommend. Only reason I couldn't give 5 star, was due to bit slow service. May be as it was busy weekend time, something to improve upon.

Good Indo Chinese food is a rarity for me so my palate hunt took me to this Indo Chinese place. We ordered just the manchiw soup which was good but lacked the kick. We also ordered fried rice with Manchurian grave which were both very nice and very decent portions. The lighting is a bit dim so gets some time getting used to. A good spot for those who like Indo Chinese food.

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.

Tried the Chilli Baby Corn, Corn Pepper Salt, and the Sizzling Hot Choco Lava.

The Chilli Baby Corn and Corn Pepper Salt were both good — I’d rate them 4/5.
However, the Corn Pepper Salt was a bit too oily for my liking.

The real highlight was the Sizzling Hot Choco Lava — one of the best I’ve had so far!
It was incredibly soft, rich, and absolutely delicious.
Would definitely go back just for that dessert — could have it again and 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.

The Indo Chinese fusion food was exceptional in taste. Nice gem of a place near SFO.

Great food! Friendly service. But y’all gotta be so for real about the waiver for the devil’s chicken. It is not very spicy at all. More like a medium level of spice and would love if y’all offered an even spicier version please 💙

This place was always my go to for chicken momos ( I felt they were best in the Bay Area), but when I visited yesterday and ordered the momos they tasted sooo different and not flavorful at all. Somebody needs to tell me what’s changed and I also felt everything doesn’t taste the same as before.

My favorite Indo-Asian fusion restaurant in the SF Bay Area. Love the chilli chicken with gravy and the fried rice with egg and prawns!

Ghost pepper chicken was excellent.
