Mirchi Cafe, Halal American & Desi Restaurant Fremont

Chicken Biryani

Fragrant long-grain rice layered with bone-in chicken, whole spices, and fried onions — the benchmark dish here and the one most regulars reorder

Chicken Karahi

Wok-fired tomato-ginger karahi with bone-in chicken, finishing with a knob of butter and fresh ginger julienne — best scooped with naan

Seekh Kabab Plate

Minced beef kebabs grilled on skewers with a smoky char, served with naan, raita, and green chutney

Halal Burger

A loaded halal beef patty with desi seasoning touches — the bridge dish for tables split between American and desi cravings

Paratha

Flaky, layered flatbread — order it as a side for the karahi or as a breakfast base; the lamination is noticeably better than at most Bay Area desi spots

Mango Lassi

Thick, sweetened yogurt drink blended with ripe mango — a reliable palate reset between spicy dishes
