    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Came for the first time and tried their Malai garlic chicken noodles and OH BOY THEY ARE SOOOO GOOD! It was worth the 2 hour drive here. Service was fast and everyone was polite and the inside of the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. Cant wait to be back and try more items.

    Malai garlic noodles
    Clarize B.

    I have been following them on Tiktok for years now and finally got to come in and try it. The restaurant was empty when we came in so there was no wait and it's very casual. We got the malai garlic noodles, crispy chicken burger, and cheesy garlic naan. This is definitely indulgent comfort food and not the healthiest, but it was great! The ctm fries were great, crispy chicken burger was hot and fresh. Just felt like the overall flavor profile from the three things we chose were very similar. The options on the menu felt very limited as well. Everything was so delicious though and such a good deal. Looking forward to coming back soon.

    Mango lassi
    Jessica D.

    Mirchi is a long time staple in Fremont and I was interested in trying their second Dublin location. The story around Mirchi is beautiful- the owner created a restaurant representing the cultural blend between American and Pakistani culture in her own marriage and expressed it in her fusion menu. It's full of American burgers, pizzas, and fries flavored with south Asian spices. We shared a smash burger with a side of madrasa fries, a cheesy garlic naan with CTM sauce, a mango lassi, and ended with a chai to-go. The smash burger and mango lassi were GREAT. I would definitely go back for those and Mirchi's is now on my top burger spots in the bay (the soft bun is key here). Unfortunately we barely touched the madras fries- the fries themselves were no good and I wasn't a fan of the buffalo sauce and ranch topping. The cheesy garlic naan is also a pass. The dough tasted breadstick-like and the cheese was virtually nonexistent. It looks like the Dublin location is hit or miss with items, so I would pick wisely- but I will definitely be back for the smash burger and lassi.

    Very happy that I found INC 82 Brewing when I came out to Dublin, California for work. I was…read morelooking for a brewery that had food available and this fine establishment came up and it definitely did not disappoint. I first want to highlight the amazing Customer Service. I interacted with autumn, and Dazha, both of whom were very kind, attentive, and provided great recommendations. They provided excellent service. I did not have to wait very long at all to get a beer, or order any food. I was also appreciative that they were able to carry a conversation with me as a patron versus just treating me as someone who was impeding on their workday. Now, onto the beer. I enjoyed the No Tanlines IPA, & the Tropidank IPA. Both were phenomenal. Great taste profile, went down easy and not too heavy on the ABV. Those beers paired nicely with the food that I enjoyed. Speaking of food their menu is just the right size with the right amount of options. I didn't find it overwhelming because honestly nothing is worse than a large menu with excessive options especially at a brewery. Lastly, the ambience of the brewery was very enjoyable. It's just the right size, and they also have a rather eclectic music playlist that I particularly enjoyed and it seems that the Staff there enjoys it along with many of the other patrons. Overall, this establishment will be a place that I revisit again probably more than once during my time in Dublin California and it will certainly be my go to place for a post round of golf meal & beer(s).

The location and setting are nice with a shaded outdoor patio with extensive seating and a cozy feeling inside with tall tables and a nice bar. Service is a little spotty though. The last time I was there, I sat at the bar and noticed more of the staff dynamic than I've seen before. The bartender never once wiped down the bar top even though it was obviously covered in sticky spilled beer and bits of food. The staff were grumpy and didn't seem to be enjoying each other or serving people. One staff person complained about patrons and said they can either wait or order off the QR code...ouch. I got so tired of the bar vibe that I paid and took my beer outside to enjoy in peace. The beer selection seemed decent but I wasn't that impressed to think that I would frequent the place on future visits. They call themselves a brewery but I honestly didn't see any signs of brewing equipment and most of their beers were from other breweries. I'll give it another try but I might have to find a new beer spot.
