    My family and I have been coming to Mirchi for a while now, and we've always had a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, with a really nice variety on the menu. We've tried quite a few things over time, from their entrees with rice and naan to their pizzas, and we've always really enjoyed the food. I also really like the ambiance of the restaurant. It has a warm and welcoming feel, and I especially enjoy the South Asian artwork and photography throughout the restaurant. It gives the place a lot of character. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and we've really enjoyed our interactions with everyone there. We also recently ordered catering from Mirchi for a family gathering, and that was a great experience as well. Everything went smoothly, the food was excellent, and our guests really enjoyed it. Overall, Mirchi is one of those local places our family really enjoys coming back to. Great food, a nice atmosphere, and genuinely friendly people. Definitely recommend!

    Madrasa Fries- so delicious
    Preet P.

    Such an incredible experience! From the dining atmosphere to the outstanding customer service, the vibe at this restaurant was absolutely amazing. We ordered Madrasa fries, Prantha with shami kebab, aloo tiki, malai garlic noodles with paneer and every single dish was a 10/10. Everything exceeded our expectations in flavor, presentation, and quality. The staff truly made the experience even more special. Ana was so warm and friendly, Atif welcomed us, arranged our table, and even took the time to chat with us about our culture, which we really appreciated. Bobby, who took our order, was equally kind and attentive. Everyone had such genuine smiles and positive energy. To top it all off, we ordered the Falooda for dessert, the perfect cherry on top! It was beautifully decorated, and we were so excited to dig in that we completely forgot to take a picture... but we finished every bite. Even though it was very crowded, the team remained calm, friendly, and attentive. Not once did they seem overwhelmed or tired, they were happy to engage with customers and made everyone feel welcome. We will definitely be back!

    Chicken Roll
    Francesca D.

    I found this place after they took over my For You Page on Tik Tok, and figured it was high time that I made the trek from San Jose to Fremont to see what the hype was all about. And I unfortunately have to say, I was a bit underwhelmed. We originally started our order with the beef seekh kabob, garlic cheese naan, and the chicken roll. The gentleman who took our order (very sweet btw) came back a few minutes later to tell us that they were out of the beef kabob, which was a bummer as we were really looking forward to it. So, we pivoted to the aloo tikka. Appetizers were tasty, my favorite being the aloo tikka. The chicken roll was good, but not particularly memorable. The sauce it came with didn't taste like much. For main courses, we got the chicken tikka pizza, and the Mirchi garlic chicken noodles, and this is where it starts to falter a bit. The pizza was delicious, a nice fluffy crust the way I like it (I am so tired of this thin crust pizza propaganda. I'm not falling for it!). But the noodles are where I was disappointed. This is the dish that I had seen on my feed and was most excited to try, but it just fell short. Because there is garlic in the name, I expect it to be one of the predominant flavors, and it was hardly detectable. The chicken didn't have much flavor itself, but the noodles had a nice springiness that I appreciate. Overall, I would come back, as they have more on the menu that I want to try, specifically that beef kabob.

    Vegetarian Nashta platter
    Kathy N.

    Originally we came to try their version of an English breakfast, but surprisingly it was my least favorite thing here. The chickpeas were a little bit too salty for my liking and the chicken sausage did not have enough season and was a bit too tough to chew. However, everything else we tried we loved! I forgot what the fries were called but it was part of their season fall menu but they were incredible and fried to perfection! On the Nashta platter, I really enjoyed how well seasoned the eggs were. I loved the chai and how tasty the cookies went along with it! It was a small cute restaurant with very nice staff. I'd love to come back here and try their other items.

    This was first time trying Mirchi Cafe and I was impressed! This is a small restaurant located in a small plaza. Super easy to find with plenty of parking spaces. Service was quick and efficient. Very friendly as well! The flavors of the dishes were a balanced blend of Italian and Pakistani spices. My favorites were the creamy garlic noodles and the tandoori wings. Both had a good amount of spice and a nice kick to it! The CTM fries were good as well! My friend and I were so full with just the three dishes- we couldn't finish it all. I'd recommend this place especially if you're in the area!

    Aloo tiki burger
    Sriharsha A.

    Checked out the Fremont location after previously visiting the Dublin one. Same great menu, but I still prefer the Dublin spot for its ambiance and outdoor seating. I got the aloo tiki burger with spicy ranch fries. The burger was flavorful but the aloo tiki was a bit cold but still had a crisp. The fries had a nice tang. Everything feels like an add-on here, extra for cheese, extra for flavored fries, so the price creeps up. Also got the malai garlic noodles but swapped chicken for paneer. The CTM sauce was rich and creamy, and the dish was very filling and definitely worth trying. Tiramisu for dessert was just okay, nothing special, but not bad either. Service was friendly, the place was clean, and parking was easy. Portions are huge, so while it's a bit pricey, you get your money's worth. I'd come back, but probably would visit the Dublin location.

    Paratha Roll with Beef Seekh Kebab (14.99), chai (2.50)in back
    Victor G.

    Mirchi Cafe is at the end of a row of storefronts across from a building with lots of offices Offerings (Pakistan, halal, fusion): salads, starters & snacks, desi style stir fry's & pasta, desserts, drinks. Burgers, sandwiches, & wraps.. Sips: chai (2.50) -made to order. Usual chai. Smooth. No cardamon? Skipped sugar. Got free refill to go. Bites: paratha roll with beef seekh fillings (14.99) -flaky wheat flatbread filled with tandoori made marinated ground beef. Mint chutney yogurt on side. -usual salad of fresh romaine lettuce, tomato, cucumber. Dressing made with olive oil which raised salad to another level. -beef seekh wasn't flavorful, maybe overpowered by yogurt as was the soggy paratha roll. -cooked to order. Ready in 15ish minutes. Lone Latina efficiently, courteously serviced all patrons. My mouth/eyes wasn't satisfied. My tummy was. Mouth happy with free refill.

    The best Middle Eastern fired chicken I ever had! I have visited this place 3 times. Never disappointed They have the best and largest portion of fires ever. My all time favorite of family-owned businesses Will visit again soon !

    Beef Seekh Kebab Burger
    Francesca B.

    Heard about this place in TikTok and realized one of their locations is nearby. Some of their menu items are different from the Dublin location so make sure to look at the menu to see if they have one of the dishes you want to try out! Regardless, still a pretty tight knit spot with amazing food. The Spicy Chicken Tenders is hands down the best dish I ordered. Coated in tumeric seasonings and deliciously juicy, I would order this again! We also had the beef shish kebab burger with the Mirchi fries and they were good, the burger was a bit dry but I still finished it nonetheless. The fries were basically buffalo ranch fries with their special seasoning which were a great kick to the dish. The chicken tikka masala came with rice, small salad, onions, naan bread, and the dish itself so you can customize it to your liking. The naan bread was fluffy and the chicken tikka masala was extremely flavorful! The mango lassi tasted like a mango milkshake; cold and sweet with a mango essence. Portions are small but the price is also very affordable. The service was quick and I believe we got to speak with one of owners. He was super kind and welcoming. The ambiance was clean and a bit small but not small enough for a wait time. Definitely coming here again.

    CTM FRIES

    Really fun fusion spot! We have a full tiki masala spread with the fries, noodles, and cheesy nan. Everything came out fresh and hot. Such an enjoyable lunch. Service was super friendly and welcoming. You can tell that this place is a hub for the community. With all three items my boyfriend and I left full with leftovers. Definitely check it out!

    Time to wrap up the 3-day eid celebrations with my Janoos, who came from SD to celebrate the eid with me. How can you skip going to Mirchi and celebrate Eid? I tried Mirchi's Halwa Puri, and oh my god, it was so good. If you know what Chikker Cholay is ( not reg chanay served with halwa Puri), then you know what I am talking about. This should be every weekend with the nashta plate. @mirchichef, we sure need this kind of halwa Puri in the Fremont location. Then, fresh chai by @aatifca must have this chai. Ultimately, I wanted my friends to try a famous mager, a very original kind (thank God), except no cream on the top. We've been going to this location for over 15 years, and Mirchis has never disappointed us. @mirchichef @aatifca, thank you for completing our celebration, and my out-of-towners left happily. Ana, you are the best Oh, I love the ambiance and those famous Coke Studio songs.

    Falooda

    I personally love the falooda this cafe offers. It has ice cream, some syrups and nuts as well. Really refreshing and the quality is great. Love the quantity as well.

    Unique fusion of Halal American & desi Pakistani food and it's definitely a community favorite. There's the best of both worlds with classic American fast-food dishes (fries, burgers, pizzas, etc.) with a unique desi Pakistani twist and flavor to each. Service was friendly and attentive even when they were super busy even towards the last hour of closing (people showed up 2-5 minutes before closing and they still seated them!). We got the: 1) Mirchi Fries: -It's made with a "spicy" Masala mix powder on top. -I didn't want anything too heavy so I opted out of the other special order of fries they have with cheese, sauce and the works. -This is a dry powder shaken on fries. -Standard thick cut diner fries with the masala powder on top. Not spicy at all. -We had ketchup, ranch, and buffalo sauce for this. -Just wish they were seasoned a bit more since they were more like normal fries than anything. 2) Chicken Tikka Calzone: -This is MASSIVE! -You can easily share this with others, definitely way more than a single person serving. -The crust/edges was super yummy and doughy. -Hand made and freshly baked from the oven, packed with ingredients inside. -As the name implies, there's chicken tikka inside, onions, bell pepper, creamy masala sauce, and lots of gooey, mozzarella cheese. -If you love calzones, this is a delicious spin on the dish. Would love to drop by again and try more of their unique menu.

Everything was delicious and when you can satisfy a craving...everything just hits different What really made the meal memorable though, was the hospitality. The owner was incredibly warm and attentive, checking in on every table throughout the evening. At one point, she noticed our minced pork rice looked a little light on the gravy (something we hadn't even noticed ourselves). Without us saying a word, she headed back to the kitchen and returned with an extra serving of the pork topping to make sure it was just right. As the dinner rush slowed, she spent time chatting with us about our recent trip to Taiwan, sharing stories about Taiwanese food and what makes the cuisine so special. By the end of the meal, it didn't feel like we were dining at a restaurant--it felt like we were having dinner at an auntie's house, enjoying great food and even better conversation.

I totally…read morethought it was going to be a potato themed fast casual resto doing things like different variants on French fries or stuffed baked potatoes. Boy was I so off the mark. Lol. It is a Chinese tea/boba shop with a super unique Asian fusion-y type of food. They have musubis, gyozas, fried snacks and even some substantial meals like noodle soups and bentos. I haven't tried much of their offerings but in what I have, have not been bad at all. I've only had a couple of versions of milk teas here for drinks. They run about $7ish and are in big cups (at least 16oz). I like them at the 30% sweet level, still a tad sweet but also refreshing. I'd like the tea flavor to be a tad stronger but it is fine here. Gyoza ($7ish/3.5*) these are small lightly deep fried dumplings. Probably from frozen but as a quick cheap snack, most would be satisfied. I was. Spam Musubi ($10/4*) You get 3 fairly large musubis, which is a lot for me. I do 2 as a meal and do the other as a snack later in the day. The rice to spam ratio leans heavy on the rice part. But their rice is unique as there's some toasted rice specs that give the bites a toasty note. Kinda like the crisp rice on the bottom of a claypot dish. Not in texture but in aroma. Never had a musubi like this. There is a good layer of thick sweet teriyaki sauce which I can do without but does bring that sweet n salty principle into effect. This may become my anchor dish here as it's kinda hard to find a good musubi in this town. Pretty stylish space, loud music I think they are targeting that 16-22 age frame. You order through a kiosk which I don't mind but I find theirs to be very clunky with a lot of prompts and not easy progression. But I get my haircut in the same complex so before I hop back in my car, I can set myself up with a refreshment/treat. A useful and local hit-up.

    We got a coconut fruit drink with sago and they forgot the sago :(…read more We also got the purple yam bubble waffle and found that half of them weren't filled with purple yam. The ones that did have yam inside were great. The spam musubi with egg and American cheese is top tier though! Great seasoned rice, thick cut of spam, and a nice sweet egg. The service is friendly but the wait was very long, about a half hour. While the inside while cute and cozy, was extremely hot/un air conditioned. Just left disappointed because of the lack of sago in a drink that's revolved around sago, the hot environment, and the long wait.

    Arrived on a late Sunday afternoon and was surprised the restaurant was empty! We were very…read moreintrigued by the $1 raw oysters (only on select days and Sunday being one of them). Our server Sam was the best!! He was super sweet and accommodating to our table. He ensured we were well taken care of at all times. Thank you again Sam! Ordering is a little different here! You're given a paper at your table and you mark the items you'd like to order by quantity. Everything is pretty much à la carte. We began with the raw oysters and typically I'm skeptical about cheap seafood because I start to question the quality. However, you can tell upon first glance that these oysters were really fresh! They smelled great and tasted even better. We also ordered a variety of their skewers, pork belly, fried rice and noodles. We were very happy with everything we ordered! Would loveee to come back with a big group as everything is served family style

    Ordered several dishes: Singapore vermicelli noodles:…read moreawesome. Worth going here just for this. The shrimp in this is succulent and awesome. The chicken is bland (like typical thai restaurant chicken). Should substitute this out for shrimp if they allow. Chicken curry toast: this is a qunie item and worth ordering. Had it twice now and liked it on both occasions. Garlic cheese bread: it's fine. Nothing to write home. Lamb chop: sweet in taste. Not so good. Older child finished but did not savor it. Chicken skewer: not good. Daughter did not like it either Hot pot: very fishy (tom yum flavor was good). Did not like any of the meat choices in there (fish ball, fish tofu, Chicken). But flavorful. Awesome service. Fast service. Good ambience with tons of TVs with several options. K-pop was a tad bit loud, but fine.

    The food was great, and our waiter was very attentive. He checked on us throughout the meal and…read morecame back to see if we wanted to order more, which I really appreciated. My only issue was with the waitlist. I joined the waitlist and received a text saying our table was ready. After checking in with the host, we were told it would be "a few more minutes," but we ended up waiting about 20 minutes. If the table isn't actually ready, customers shouldn't be notified that it's ready. I hope they can improve the waitlist/check-in process.

    I've been coming here for years, tonight we should have paid attention to all the red flags. Being…read morea Thursday night at 5:30pm and the place was near empty, and nobody at the front for a good 10-15 mins something was definitely up. We were seated by the manager and was told our server would be with us shortly, I believe his name is Christian. Getting anything was a nightmare basic drinks took forever, we didn't get our sides till almost the end of the meal, and the topper we ordered the mixed vegetables, the red bell pepper had a nice patch of fuzzy gray mold on it. We called the server over and handed him the plate I told him please don't bring us any more bell pepper, he walked to his manager who just took a quick look. After that was a good 20 mins before we saw our server again with an empty grill the whole time waiting. The manager after the moldy bell pepper and poor service did nothing to remedy the situation, basically made us feel overlooked. This is the first time I've ever left gen frustrated, this shouldn't have happened and the manager should have done something to accommodate the situation.

    rahh i love yunnan cuisine. i've had quite a few dishes here but feel there's still always…read moresomething new to try. my #1 favorite that i always get is the stir-fry assorted wild mushrooms mmm. btw did u know that yunnan has 800+ varieties?! i'm also a big fan of the herbs and spices they use in their dishes, especially in the signature herbal roasted steak w/ rice. the stir-fry cheung fun was also a fun surprise! it was my first time having noodles of this kind in a fried format. enjoyed the change in texture. !! jun is definitely one of those spots where i feel like i can keep coming back and still have something new to try. :)

    Jun Bistro has become part of the rotating restaurants that we suggest when we eat out…read more We first noticed it about two years ago when it popped up in the Milpitas Square. It is next to the Hui Lau Shan, which is great when we want dessert after This restaurant is very unique, as most of the dishes main component is mushrooms, which provide a different umami taste than regular dishes. We have tried the crispy silkworms, tom yum fried chicken, beef noodle soup, mushroom hot pot, chicken liver pate and yao tiao, laksa fried rice, stir fry cheung fun, wild mushroom conserva. Out of everything, I definitely recommend the tom yum fried chicken, mushroom hot pot and the laksa fried rice! Although the fried chicken doesn't have tom yum flavor, they fry the chicken very well, and the tom yum dipping sauce is on pointtt. The mushroom hot pot is definitely a favorite of mine. They give a lot of food -- it is warm, comforting. The broth also has a lot of flavor as well. The fried rice is definitely a top fave. They do a wonderful job incorporating the wok hei, which not a lot of restaurants can do. It is very present throughout the rice, and elevates the rice past the laksa flavor. The pineapple was a great touch and give it a hint of sweetness. I would pass on the wild mushroom conservative. It feels like they just stirfry it in butter, and that was it. I like the silkworm, but I know it's not for everyone. It is crunchy and it tastes kind of like peanut butter LOL. it is a great appetizer. I'm glad this place offers it. I think I've gotten a couple drinks -- alcoholic, and non-alcoholic. Also one of their ice creams. They didn't really leave a standout impression on me but still good to try!
