Red Hot Chilli Pepper( Shangri-La Evanston)

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.

They offer a lot of indo- chinese options. The main course was decent. But they should improve a lot on their appetizers and their service.

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
