Red Pepper — Restaurant in Mizoram

The restaurant featured a variety of dishes ranging from mizo foods to the more western varieties. The price starts from as low as ₹30 to as high as ₹650 with all sorts of appetizers, beverages, soups, deserts, salads, veg, non-veg and even a whole section just for prawn/fish. As the restaurant is located on the second floor, it's quite and undisturbed from the busy traffic outside. The aesthetic is a combination of old mizo traditional culture mixed with a blend of Western and more modern look, the fine craftsmanship as well as the though put into every bit of detail can be seen. They even have miniature versions of houses and tools of the mizo culture which gives it a mixture of feeling one feels while inside the restaurant hard to describe, perhaps a feeling of awe and appreciation. The aesthetic was great. However, the food, not as much. As one would expect from a restaurant that's on the expensive side so would their food. Their special tea which costs three times more than a regular tea, wasn't as special as it suggested and had a weird aftertaste to it as well. Their chicken noodle was okay, the chicken tastes good as expected but the noodle was mediocre. The Egg top chow was a bit spicy without much flavour which was surprising since one wouldn't expect chilli on an egg top chow, there was too much fat, literal slices of fat and the egg tastes a bit bland. The Masala omlette which costs ₹60 was disappointing as one could make it at their homes by themselves, it was a normal omlette without anything to complain or compliment. And the blueberry drink was too sweet, it tastes fine but also reminded me of the taste of a candy which wasn't great.

Although the servers were a bit clumsy and messed up three times, they were quite easy to approach and ask questions as well as patient. However, they also messed up an order bringing me something I never ordered which was disappointing as there were only a few people in the restaurant. The food tastes fine but not as great as one would expect from an expensive restaurant, the aesthetic was quite nice and was pleasing to look at and the customer service was fine. If you want to experience different kinds of food and don't care about the price while marvelling at the decor and the aesthetic definitely visit this restaurant however if you're on a budget and want to taste good food worth their price I won't...

To begin with, the Rice Beer is a must try(a beverage made from fermented rice).

A very well established dining place for experiencing a Mizo tradition. The place has good ambience, with the interiors decorated with ethnic Mizo designs. One of the most well known dining stations situated in the central part of the city with good hospitality. Although, when it comes to the food, the service quality is improvable. The quality of the food is quite unsatisfactory considering the place and its recognition. Presentation of food is beautiful, although the quality served could be enhanced. Otherwise, this restaurant is a place for experiencing traditional food and culture of the Mizo state and is reachable, with an average price range...

Ordered the Mizo Chaw. It was my first Mizo meal and it was tremendous. One of the best meals I’ve had ever, or at least in a very long time. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the different sauces and additions offered a spectrum of flavors — from slight savoriness, to fermented goodness, to mild bitterness, to a high amount of spiciness. The plate had it all.

The beef stew was also awesome. It was chewy but fit the character and the rounded nature of the stew. The Bai was very balanced — savory and mildly spicy. I also ordered the special tea, which was simply milk tea with some sugar, and I enjoyed it as well.

Overall, a very...
