I can't say enough good things about Mirchi Cafe. I tried them out using the Too Good To Go app. I wasn't able to get there at the beginning of the pickup window and got there 4 minutes before the window closed. I also went to the wrong place. Within the same shopping center they have a Meat and Deli which is the second shop in the line of shops when you enter from Fremont Blvd. The cafe is all the way at the end. I called them and they redirected me. I 100% messed up and the app canceled/refunded my order by the time I got to the right place. The staff was very understanding. I felt horrible that the app refunded me and I tried to pay them cash but they would not take my money and just told me to enjoy the food. They gave me 3 chicken rolls that were amazing. 1 of them could be a meal. They are flaky pastry filled with spiced ground chicken. Delicious!!!! The ambiance is casual and inviting. Lots of seating with a big screen TV. The staff is extremely nice. I had called them during the day before placing the order to find out what they usually include in their "surprise bag" and was happy to hear it was chicken (since I cannot eat beef). Even on the phone the staff was kind and patient. Will definitely be going back with or without the Too Good To Go app and will take friends there as well. read more

I saw a TikTok of Mirchi Cafe and the food looked so good! I had it bookmarked for a few months now, but we finally got a chance to stop by over the weekend. We ordered: - Chicken Tikka Masala Fries (CTM Fries) - Cheesy Garlic Naan - Malai Garlic Chicken Noodles - Black Pepper Chicken with a side of Madrasa fries Everything was amazing!!! Every dish we had was very well seasoned and flavorful. I love the fusion of different flavors in each dish! Our favorites were the cheesy garlic naan, which came with a side of chicken tikka masala dipping sauce, and the malai garlic chicken noodles! The naan was so fresh and doughy, much like a calzone or pizza. My bf said it reminded him of a when we went to try Skalka in Seattle and had their khachapuri (bread boats). We'd love to come back to try other items on the menu like their spice bag, fried chicken, and desserts! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Absolutely undercooked chicken sandwiches with the most horrible textures ever. Usually good food but today was bad. I made the mistake of not inspecting my food beforehand unlike my mother. Now i am in horrible stomach pain because of their undercooked rubber chicken read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

I'm so disappointed in Mirchi's lately. Yesterday I got a chicken tikka salad to-go and I was so excited. Three of the listed ingredients were missing - it was basically lettuce and chicken tikka with ranch dressing. I need Mirchi to make this right. There needs to be some level of quality control. Previously they served me old rice that had gone bad. And if you're having it with gravy, its hard to tell but I kept feeling like there is a smell. When I gently told them - either they didn't hear it or they ignored the feedback. At this point I'm waiting for a reply. read more

Very slow and pathetic service. Being waiting for 2 items more than 30 mins. The owner talks so highly about the service and food but it's just worst. And poor server doing everything on her own. They make so much money and can't hire more people. Will never return here ever. And when the food came the chicken was raw and has a bad smell. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Mirchi Cafe, Halal American & Desi Restaurant Fremont - Chicken tikka Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fremont, California

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. read more

Recent discovery of this fusion Halal spot thanks to my Pakistani Sista from another Motha.. Love it! I was told this place is very popular in her community and I can taste why. I ordered the crispy chicken burger with madrasa fries and it was absolutely delicious. Not only was the coating crispy, the chicken inside was juicy and well seasoned, not oily. The fries were "meaty" & had a good kick to it with their house wing sauce. But you must enjoy it fresh, best at dine in. My friend had the Sheezan Club with regular fries. Its one of her regular favs. We sat and talked from open to close, service was attentive enough that my friends chai was refilled multiple times at ask. Easy to wave down wait staff when needed. Minimal Décor. The restaurant was steadily busy and seemed like everyone knew each other. Very friendly atmosphere. Inside seating behind small doorway feels a lot cooler than outside. Perhaps there's AC in the back? I was feeling a bit warm/stuffy at one point as I was seated in main dining area. Not a big bother though as the food was good. Parking is plenty. Restaurant is in the last space all the way down the driveway. Can easily miss the driveway to plaza if not paying full attention. read more

Was introduced to Mirchi Burger by a good friend a while ago and glad the place is still going strong. It features a halal menu with a wide variety of entrees - everything from curry to burgers to chicken and waffles. I usually go with my tried and true lahori burger with a side of mirchi fries and am never disappointed. They also have a mango mojito drink that pairs well with any protein dish - highly recommend! It's easy to miss the turn for the parking lot when you're driving along the Main Street but once you're in, usually pretty easy to find a spot. Food comes out pretty quick - though sometimes they can be slower to bring the check when it's busy. Service is always friendly. If you're looking to try some good Pakistani fusion food, Mirchi is always a solid option. read more

I discovered this spot a couple of years ago through Tik Tok! I found it fascinating due to the food infusion between Pakistan and America. I used to go to the Dublin location but since they added new entrees to the menu this Fremont location is closer to me. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious and the employees are very nice and welcoming. We ordered two drinks that were the Nimbu Paani Freeze which is a Frozen mint lemonade with black salt and aamchur powder and the mango sprite which is not on the menu. The Paani Freeze was good but if you are not use to the ingredients you might find it a bit overwhelming. For entrees we ordered there famous Malai Garlic Chicken Noodles and the Chicken Tikka Masala. We accompanied the entrees with their Cheese Garlic Naan. Everything was delicious! I r am a big fan of the Cheese Garlic Naan. The infusion is a perfect mix between both countries! The ingredients all come from their own butcher shop, Mirchi Meat and Deli. Their meats are also all 100% Halal. I would also add that They are also very involved with their community. I believe in supporting the restaurant not only because of their delicious food but also because of all the help they give to the community. read more

I was in northern CA for a convention with my family this weekend and heard from a regular that he eats at this restaurant regularly. We are repeat customers at some restaurants if they have just one meal we love. This restaurant had four items my family tried and all were filled with great taste. We would come back for each one. We tried the chicken pepper steak upon Atif's recommendation with the add ons he suggested; halal beef bacon and jalapeños, awesome. The shami kabob burger was excellent. The Americano burger was a hit. The fries are seasoned and delicious. We had the fried chicken which really hit the spot, they got it just right with the flavor and the crispiness. The Nimbo Paani freeze was enjoyed by two of us. This drink included mint, lemon, amchoor with black salt. My son was thinking about ordering a second. All in all we were super happy we took the recommendation to visit. Wish they had one in SoCal!! read more

Went around 8:30 pm on a Monday and it was packed! The service was amazing and the owner was very nice to us. We ordered multiple things and everything was delicious. The chicken shashlik was the best thing we ordered and the chicken pepper sandwich was AMAZING. The only thing I would give points off for are the wings. Its 6 wings for 13+ dollars which is not really worth the price. The burgers also could have been better. I would definitely go again! read more

I saw a video on Instagram of the owner of the restaurant informing customers that the Dubai Ghirardelli Chocolate Sundae was back (a few weeks ago). I went here twice in 1 week (this week) and got the Dubai Sundae because it was just that good! It was pricy at about $22, however; to me, it was worth it. It was so delicious that my eyes rolled back the first time I tasted it. You get the vanilla ice cream, pistachio, Knafeh and chocolate (not sure if anything else is missing). Every bite was perfection! I tried going there today, however; the sundae was for a limited time only. **Please make this a regular item on the menu!** I highly recommend it! Also, Ana did a beautiful job at making the last one sold in Fremont yesterday. read more

I've been here quite a few times in the past. I'm not a fan of the environment because they usually have a large Tv going on with music blasting which is very annoying when trying to eat or talk. The food (burgers) which I usually came for had gone down, I'd say like 4-5-yrs ago their burgers were good but now they r not as good, the buns have changed too as well. In my photo attached is a picture from 2018 when the burger was really good and a dessert from Ramadan few years back. I forgot to take a recent picture but I know the burger is not the same quality I hope they can modify the music/tv aspext and lower down the volume and also improve their burgers again. Also they r hand slaughtered even though they do not use HFSAA which is fine as long as it's hand slaughtered Though I have to say their faloodas r the only thing I usually come to mirchis for when I need to grab falooda for my family. Service is very nice and friendly staff, if I come back again later il try something else but low key I'd rather eat somewhere more peaceful. read more

Oh no this place was a bust for me and I was excited to take my friend here for dinner. The outside was pretty damn ugly, garbage everywhere and parking was limited and sketchy. It wasn't a warm friendly atmosphere at all. The food and customer service were good but not worth coming back. I ordered the beef kebab, tandoori chicken and the garlic naan. It was simple comfort food. The restaurant vibe was a bit off when we walked in, it felt like we weren't welcome by the patrons.

Nice Halal fusion restaurant. Get classic American fare but reinterpreted with Pakistan flavors and spice, the nice thing is it's halal certified and no need to worry about the origins of the meat and the conditions of the kitchen it's prepared in. Crispy chicken burger: Huge, tender chicken breast. Brined or prepped in way to make the chicken breast most delicious. Batter is nice and crunchy and has a spicy taste and garnished with spicy ranch, tomatoes, onions, and tomatoes. The only critique is the lettuce looked a bit wilted and not appetizing. Aloo Tikki: Spicy deep fried potatoes on a bed of lettuce and spicy ranch sauce. A lot of greens and I liked the texture combinations in each bite. In the future I would ask for less sauce on it. Chicken Tikka masala: For the wife, the creamy Tikka sauce was good but strangely this dish had dry chicken breast that wasn't as tender and nice as the crispy chicken burger. read more

A coworker took me here for lunch. I love exploring for food and she definitely knows those good spots to eat. She was saying this place gets packed and also raves about their chicken burger. We ordered like we are eating for multiple people since we were hungry. It wasn't too packed when we arrived and got sat right away. What we ordered: Crispy chicken burger - highly recommend. The flavor is incredible. Madrasa fries - This is good but you can probably make this at home. I would order this if you never had it but I wouldn't order it again. Black pepper chicken - highly recommend. Full of flavor and this is something you think you tried because but with a twist! I would order this again. Mirchi fried chicken - I would pass on this. I love fried chicken but this had no flavor. Mango "mocktail" magarita - This was refreshing. Great during hot days. Overall the food was ok. I would come back and try other things. read more
