    CTM Fries
    Lynne N.

    Mirchi is a hidden gem for casual and affordable Indian fusion cuisine. The CTM Fries were very flavorful, I love how saucy it is and they gave a lot of chicken in the fries. The Chicken n Waffle was really good, I love how the chicken is big and a good portion size. I would personally skip the Chicken Roll, it tasted alright to me. Staff was friendly and welcoming

    This food was so damn good it had me and my friends moaning. I love all the spices and seasoning and we was eating and gobbling everything. No crumbs left behind and the service was nice. It was clean and moderate sounds and wasnt too busy. It got busier after we sat down to eat. I would def come back again! SCHLURP

    Single smashed burger
    Thuyvi M.

    There are two menus available. The main menu and vegetarian menu. I like that they have options and was transparent with which items had dairy. We were craving smash burgers and wanted try it out. Single comes with 1/4 lb beef patty with american cheese, lettuce, HALAL beef bacon onion jam and house sauce served on a potato bun. Second burger I ordered a double with no cheese and sauce on the side since it has dairy. The burger was really good and full of flavor. The bacon onion jam is really good and makes the burger. The house sauce is full of flavor and has a bit of a kick and amps up the burger. Id definitely order this again. Burger with an Indian flair was a first and won't be the last. I did knock off one star since my double had the house sauce on it but was easily wiped off since one of us can't have dairy. Mirchi Fries are seasoned with Mirchi's spicy masala spice. Fries were hot, fresh, crispy and not greasy. These have a spicy kick so if you can't handle spice I'd say no seasoning. Main dining area isn't as spacious as the outside patio area but a nice spot on a nice warm day to dine in if weather permits. Employees checked on patrons often. Lots of stuff on the walls to look at. There's a shared parking lot and can fill up pretty quick at certain times. Overall good food and customer service! Definitely would come back and try other things on the menu.

    We came here on a nice day. Seemed pretty lively on a Saturday evening, most people opted to sit outdoors. The indoors has colorful and decorative decor. More a fast casual restaurant. Order at the counter and they'll bring your order over. The presentation of the food was low key but tasted great! The Lahori burger - ground beef pattie mixed with onions, chillies, and masala - was very flavorful and juicy! It also comes with choice side of salad or fries. The cheesy garlic naan with the masala dipping sauce is a must. The mango and cardamom lassis paired well with the spiced cuisine. Would go back for that cheese garlic naan alone. Will need to stop by again in the near future.

    Nimbu pani freeze

    I stopped by Mirchi this evening and honestly, this place just keeps getting better. We come here all the time and it is always such a great experience. I got the crispy chicken burger with spicy ranch fries and it was amazing. The burger had the perfect mix of cheese, lettuce, onion, and mayo. And the fries? Drizzled with ranch and buffalo sauce. Perfect combo. My husband ordered the black pepper chicken with the nimbu pani freeze, and we grabbed a kids pizza for the little one. Everything hit the spot. My go to drink is always the Indian cold blended coffee. If you know, you know. I have also tried their paratha wrap and it tastes exactly like something my mom would make at home. At this point we have gone so often that we have made friends with the staff. They are always so warm and friendly. Mirchi really feels like that go-to neighborhood spot. Highly recommend!

    Amazing food with equally amazing service! We tried: Malai garlic chicken noodles Cheese pizza on masala sauce Chicken tikka masala Cheese garlic naan bread A plus: they allow dogs in their patio.

    Juiciest fried chicken ever!! Cooked to perfection and crispy. Do wish it had more of the Pakistani seasoning though - needs a little more spice. CTM fries w the burger were also amazing. Their mint lemon drink was also amazing.

    Fried chicken
    Jose R.

    What a gem of a place, small family run family restaurant in downtown Dublin and another location in Fremont. Another day we'll visit the Fremont location. Back to the Dublin spot, we were passing through and decided to check this place out. Wow, I don't get too excited for fried chicken, but this place has some of the best breaded, best tasting fried chicken, non-greasy and full of flavor and moist chicken! We ordered a little bit of everything, traditional Indian cuisine, delicious Tikka masala and chicken garlic noodles. The entire menu seems to have a hit after hit! The chicken and waffles were delicious, with flavorful tasting waffles. The staff were awesome and made us feel welcome and part of the family right away. We enjoyed the entire experience, delicious drinks (can't go wrong with a mango lassi or mango margarita), and just a family friendly meal. Highly recommend you stop by and grab some chicken! Enjoy, till next time!

    Chicken noodles with fresh plain naan

    Came here often but some services changes. Bring your own water the water serve to you is water. At times it feels like they want you to eat and leave ASAP. The staff is standing by your side at the table and seeing how much tip is added. At times you ask for a receipt and may not be given. I got overcharged 2x, even at the last visit. They also have outside seating, it be nice to have an outdoor fire or heater for winter. Need to find another location after this recent visit, rushed, overcharged, receipt not provided, and chicken was undercooked.

    Mirchi Cafe & Masala Pizza is the only eatery in this commercial center. Next to the street, it's easy to see. 2 rooms of seating. Offerings (India, halal, American): specials, pizza & calzones, drinks, salads, small plates, burger & sandwiches, desi stir fries & noodles, desserts, appetizers & snacks.. Order at counter, food brought to table, 10ish minutes. Sips: rooh adza (3)rose water drink. -mix of floral rose water & sugar. Faint floral notes amidst sugarness. Refreshing. Bites: Lahori Burger (14.99) choose salad, got fries. -ground beef patty melt in mouth quality, usual lettuce, picked onions, mayo with potato buns. *mirchi masala sauce & house made green garlic sauce made this a winner. Plentiful fries fried perfectly with nice crispy texture & Al dente innards-no mushiness. Seldom experienced this. Piece de resistance was the spicy masala sauce atop. Salad had cucumbers, lettuce, red cabbage topped with kamchumber sauce which includes the former + salt & water. Fresh it was. *either the salad or fries was comped. If I knew the fries was what I got, I would have ordered it. Everything worthy. Patty smallish. No problem. Didn't want a lot. 5 stars!

    It was our friends turn to choose the restaurant, and she gave us the choice of Mirchi Cafe and a place in Danville. Both menus were very different from each other, but this one really intrigued us. When we walked in, the order taker asked if we were ordering to eat in or take out. We said eat in and he handed us menus and told us to take any table. We chose one outside and he brought us set-ups and ice water. Once we sat, we never got up again, so we missed out on the ambiance. It was perfect for conversation though. He asked if we had any questions and confirmed that the items we were looking at were amongst the best sellers. Mind you, the menu is not huge, so that helped a bit. Our friend had had several items as take out but had never eaten in before. She also helped guide us. Mango Sprite, Strawberry Sprite and Mango Milkshake - 5 - they enjoyed their drinks but I loved my Mango Shake. Not too sweet, not too thick, plenty of whipped cream. Yumm! Cheesy Garlic Naan - 5 - I can't remember ever having cheese with my naan but this was simply delicious. Garlic Chicken Noodles - 5 - I can see coming here just for this dish. I'm a noodle freak and these were excellent. The chicken was also outstanding. Chicken Tikka Masala - 5 - I can also see myself stopping by just for a whole pizza. Fried Chicken - 5 - Upon presentation, the crust looked very dark but it was perfectly crunchy. This chicken tasted like chicken and not like it had been brined just for flavor. No salt bomb here. Just good eatin'. Tiramisu - 4 - I want to say that this was a perfectly good version of Tiramisu. However, while dining at a little Italian restaurant in London, I had the best version ever and I highly doubt that anyone will ever come close to that iteration of this wonderful dessert. Service was great. Our server came by several times to check on us and make sure we had enough water. He also brought us boxes as he checked on our desire for dessert. Overall, we loved what we had. Even our friend admitted that while what she had eaten in the past was good, the experience of eating here tasted even better. This is definitely a place to visit with friends so you can try more flavors. We'll be back!

    Dubai chocolate
    Veerawan T.

    We saw their food video on Instagram and decided to check it out! There was outdoor and indoor seating. It was beautifully decorated, and inside was spacious. They specialize in comfort American food with a Pakistani twist. They offer burgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads, etc. Their portions were huge, and they were reasonably priced. I enjoyed my time here! Great food and friendly service. All the dishes I got were nothing but a hit! CTM Fries - this one is a must-try. Chicken tikka masala seasoning topped on fresh fries. Came with some pieces of chicken too. Amazing. Malai Garlic Chicken Noodles - Cheesy, creamy, chewy, yummy! Chicken Tikka Masala - comes with rice, salad, and naan. I love their naan. It appears thin, but it's fluffy in the center, making it satisfying to chew. Dubai chocolate - 3 layers of ice cream, chocolate, and pistachio. Worth the $20.

    Tandoori wings
    Tiffany P.

    This restaurant is definitely slept on i have no idea why it hasn't went viral online and packed with people. Clean food and everything made is made in house. Their meat supply is from their own meat shop so it is definitely fresh. I ordered the chicken tikka masala fries, it was fried perfectly. Crispy light well fry on the outside, soft on the inside. Once the tikka masala soaks in after awhile it just makes it so much better. I also got the tandoori chicken wings and that rub was helllllllla good. I'll definitely be back to try more things on their menu.

Glasshouzz was on the way and I've always wanted to try it since seeing it on Yelp. We're really glad we did. First off, it's located in a plaza NEXT TO the Livermore outlets. From the map view, we almost thought it was in the outlets. We were pleasantly surprised to discover this whole plaza even existed! There are so many good-looking restaurants here! So many options to try for next time. We visited on a weeknight during off-peak hours, so there wasn't any wait at all. The decor inside is modern and elegant, and the servers were incredibly friendly. We accidentally missed the front entrance so actually walked toward what we thought was the front door, which was actually the back door, but the staff still kindly opened that back entrance for us and got us situated right away. The menu had a really solid selection: - Tac Tac Tacos: the Mrs. Ordered these. Tender flavorful succulent chicken with a hint of spice, served in fluffy bao-style clamshell buns. Nice fusion touch! The buns tasted fresh and soft, almost melt-in-your-mouth compared the versions I've had at Chinese restaurants. Makes me think they make these fresh in-house. - Applewood Smoked Salmon: I ordered these for myself. They came from the "protein-packed" section on the menu. Can you believe they have it? It was perfect and summer diet compliant for me. All meals from the protein pack section come with vegetables, and mashed potatoes. They also had a chicken breast and lamb option. After eating chicken breast all week, I decided to switch it up for the salmon, which was cooked perfectly. I'm talking soft and flaky. You could really taste the applewood smoked flavor. The mashed potatoes were smooth and really melted in your mouth. TBH , I had to hold myself back from finishing them. - Mac n' Cheese: For The Little One. Because she won't eat anything else -_-. It came from their section kids meals, but was quite delicious, even by adult standards. The Mrs. and I made sure to sample some. The serving size was great. Overall, a great dinner stop with the relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food. There's quite a variety ranging from comfort food to protein forward healthier options.

It's situated between some other restaurants and shares a huge parking lot which is a win win. There's also a Tesla supercharger in the same parking lot which is great to get a charge on for the car and recharge for the food! The ambiance is an open style restaurant with plenty of seating inside and out. Staff are attentive and courteous We grabbed a half chicken delight half ultimate meats. The pizza had a good flavor. One tiny downside is the chicken side had a lot of cheese on it. Compared to the other side of the pizza, it seemed like it was a lot more. The toppings on both sides were plenty and delicious. Overall a great spot to sit down and enjoy a pizza.

The food is good, the beer selection as awesome and the atmosphere is super casual and fun. It can get a little noisy at times, but there's plenty of outdoor seating for more quiet. What I like best about it is that it really feels like you're going to a place that treats its employees and its customers like family. I'm not a big reviewer, but I felt compelled to share my last experience with Porky's. After ordering, I stopped by the ladies room before going to get a beer. One of the stalls was out of toilet paper and all I could think about was that Seinfeld episode. Wanting to help someone avoid an embarrassing situation, I went to the counter to let them know. The person I tried to tell was kind of rude and waved me off. It was really weird because every other interaction I've ever had with employees there is best described as hospitality instead of just service. I was going to shrug it off. Everyone has off nights, but it was just so out of character for this place I felt I had to say something. I submitted an online comment via their website and figured that was that. Two days later, I got a phone call from Patsy. She was appreciative that I brought it up, asked for more details and promised a follow up. A few days after that, I got a very nice handwritten card from her letting me know they had worked with the employee, who was sorry and was just having an off day. My own mother doesn't send me handwritten cards anymore. I was never going to write the place off after a single incident, but this kind of care for people means I will always keep this place in rotation when the "what do you want for dinner?" Question comes up.
