It is not often I am able to indulge in Indian Cuisine. But this was definitely an experience. We did the lunch buffet and each dish had a unique flavor. I was originally worried, since I do not have a high spice tolerance—but there were plenty of dishes that were the PERFECT temperature. One of my favorites was the Chicken Vindaloo, such a beautiful blend of tastes. The wait-staff was very polite and efficient, we barely knew they were there except when they were topping off our water. The atmosphere was classy and quiet with dim relaxing lighting and everything was very clean. Definitely hope to return next time we are in town!

my husband and I are travel nurses and always set out to try the local restaurants in the areas we are staying and yesterday we tried Red Pepper, it did not disappoint! This was our first time ever trying Indian food and it won’t be our last. The restaurant is gorgeous, the staff were so polite and ensured our drinks were always filled. They just genuinely seemed proud of the food they were bringing out and that’s always refreshing. If you’re going to try anything, try the samosas!!!!!!!! so stinkin good!!!!!! and the chicken korma!!!!!!!

I liked a lot of the food here. The chicken tandoori was made different at this place, it wasn’t red it was breaded it seemed and had cabbage around it and tomatoes. It was good but didn’t seem too tandoori.

I visited this place with my parents and we tried a little bit of every item on the menus along with the buffet. All the dishes were spectacular and the service was exceptional. The chef itself came and specially asked me for my suggestions and opinions about the food. The food wasn’t too spicy. It was just right. Overall great ambience and my entire family had a good experience at Red Pepper Indian cuisine.

BEST FOOD EVER!!! So incredibly delicious and worth every penny we spent! All the guests that dined with me agree. The place was incredibly clean and the atmosphere was soothing and intimate. The staff were incredible and tentative. We did not feel rushed–we even lost track of time a little. I DEFINITELY want to come here again, and again, and again.

Five star rating across the board. Absolutely delicious and amazing tastes! Tried the buffet which included Tandoori Chicken, Broccoli Pakora, Veggie Tikka Masala, Chicken Coconut Curry, Carrot Pudding, and Chicken Tikka Masala. All knocked the taste buds into amazement. The staff were very polite and professional. The establishment was decorated very elegantly.

The restaurant was spotless, the staff was very professional and the choices on the buffet was amazing and delicious!! I am so glad they have decided to open this in the tri-cities! Will definitely be back again soon!

Excellent! Highly recommend! Delicious Indian cuisine. Reasonably priced. Elegant décor and table settings. Great service! The waiter was very nice. The atmosphere was quiet and lovely. The dining area was very clean. Only 1x was I able to see into the kitchen when the door opened and it too was spotless. The chef came out and asked if I wanted more rice. I was so full I could not take the extra helping but I thought it was so nice of him to ask. Again, I highly recommend this restaurant. I also believe this restaurant would be a nice place to take a date.
