Love their food and service. There’s a girl her name is Miss Zara. She is amazing I love to go there because of their food and her hospitality. I wish I live near by and I can go there everyday. I appreciate Miss Zara for the great hospitality. And hope to see her again.
It was amazing to find a Calcutta inspired indo-chinese restaurant. Awesome experience, should go back for the specialty drinks one day.Happy to find Hakka noddles and chilli chicken, which was nice and spicy and not unnecessarily sweet. The garlic rice was very pleasant, though I wish it stood out a bit more.
Anekdin por Kolkata Chinese! Crispy baby corn was ???
La Shangri-la Asian Fusion was wonderful. They work hard to ensure their customers are satisfied. They are very flexible and willing to adjust the heat level in their various dishes to meet your tastes. Very nice, hardworking people and very good food.
Fantastic place with great service and flavor! They are an Indo-Chinese Halal place with a ton of great options. We got Momo Chicken dumplings and Chilli Chicken appetizer which were both amazing! Really enjoyed them. We got Khow suey noodles which were super flavorful and great. The "Burned Garlic Fried Rice" was a little bland, so we used the noodle sauce to add more spice. I personally didn't like the hot and sour soup, but it was made really well (just not my taste). Don't recommend the Nojito mocktail (just glorified sprite).Their service was really fantastic especially so close to closing time. All the staff were constantly checking in and willing to make adjustments to the food as needed. Food was overall really good - definitely recommend the momos and chilli chicken.They recommend reservations on weekends or for large groups! It was pretty full on Friday evening.
We come to this spot whenever we are craving Indo-Chinese. The staff is always so accommodating and friendly. Their food is consistently delicious — we love their serving sizes and it’s nice to order a lot and share as a group. Their fried rice is iconic and made so well! One of my favorite dishes is their Gobi Manchurian appetizer. You won’t go wrong!
Love the fact that we can get some authentic Indo Chinese food in Chicago. The location is on prime downtown area Davis Street. U can find street parking behind the block.Everything was tasty. We ordered mango lychee Mocktail which was very tasty, vegetarian Momos, baby corn Chilli and Hakka Noodles. Momos were balanced flavor wise, baby corn is medium spicy, so your taste buds will dance, finally to finish off we ordered Hakka Noodles, they are wok fried and balanced salt pepper and sou sauce, not spicy at all.Everything was delicious and we will come back again. The service was quick as well.
VERY DISAPPOINTED. My first time trying this place on Valentines dinner. We ordered drink, momos, cauliflower Manchurian and Shangri-La noodles. We asked to keep food medium. We ordered Shangrila noodles, but it came out so spicy that I couldn't eat. The waiter took the plate away telling me they will make a new one. I got the same noodles with tons of tomato sauce added. It made the noodles so sour, tangy, sweet, soggy and overcooked to lower down the spiciness from the food I was served previously. Cauliflower Manchurian were also sweet and no crispy at all. Should have taken a picture from the bowl to see difference. It ruined whole mood of Valentines.

I’ve been to this place several times since it opened around 4 years ago. This started off as a great place for Indo-Chinese cuisine in Chicagoland. The restaurant has seen its share of ups and downs in the last 4 years and finally, it seems like there’s been a change in ownership. The food options are more or less the same, maybe one or two options have been deleted. But on our most recent visit, the food was exceptional and faultless. Felt nostalgic eating Manchurian and noodles.We had baby corn, vegetable momo , Chili garlic noodles, chili garlic tofu , and gobi (cauliflower) Manchurian. The portion sizes was big and the food was well-spiced.I’ve always liked the ambience of the place, service was quick and attentive.I had been a bit upset with their take-outs in the past, but honestly in terms of the quality of food, and especially for dine-in, it is back to it’s full glory now. There is a lot less staff around , which is understandable given the significant shortage of staffing in general in the food and service industry. But those who were around, did a great job.Very happy that this place is moving back towards what it used to be like when it opened.
This place is beyond our expectation. The food is phenomenal and the staff including the chef is very courteous. This place offers true Indian-chinese experience, a unique cuisine from India. The spices will treat your taste buds well and make you crave more. We ordered Manchow Soup (Splendid!!), Veg momos (Out of the world!!), Chilli garlic noodles (Mind blowing!!), and Manchurian (Exceptional!!).Must try place. Hope they could open a place in downtown Chicago.Will visit again soon.
Love Red Hot Chilli Pepper and their extensive menu for Indo Chinese food. There aren't too many places near Milwaukee which serve Indo chinese food so this is my go to for any Indo chinese food i want to explore.Some of my favorites here are Drums of Heaven (OMG.. this totally is an amazing dish which brings back tons of street food memories from back home and is exceptionally yummy). We always also get Chilli chicken or chilly fish and Chicken Fried rice. I got information of this place from my aunt who personally knows the chef. I love coming here and highly recommend trying out the ample amount of options they have. You will not regret it!
Loved the food. It was not crowded, reducing our virus concerns. Waite staff were very attentive.
Service and welcoming should be improved, food is ok. Please update proper address and name in website. Finding place is really tough so please update asap.
