"This has been an ongoing problem with RED PEPPER. We have been going to this place since it opened. The problem is their lack of knowledge of food safety. They habitually put out raw chicken (Tandoori). This has happened the last 8 times we have gonethere for lunch. I tell the manager and he says ok . They never remove the chicken that was put out and just leave it for thenext potential customer. For a buffet , they are SLOW to replenish the food that is already out. You have to TELL THEM thatthey are out of an item. Service is always decent and your water glass never goes empty. Today, I believe the owner was thereand I had the privilege of showing him the raw chicken his restaurant is serving and told him that this was not a isolatedincident. I told him that this negligence can result in someone getting very sick (I speak from experience). It could alsoresult in a fine with the board of health. He just said that he would tell them, took my plate and left. He and the managernever came out of the kitchen. We have been going to this place since it opened....and told that to the owner. I also told himthat his restaurant is not the only Indian restaurant in the area and we would not be coming back again. He did not seem fazedor really cared. It is sad that yet another vacant storefront will be decorating Rt 22 in Scotch Plains. Nearly $39. tip andbarely ate anything. I guess its money well spent to just get that final F-IT attitude. If the manager and owner do not carethat their cooking practices are potentially dangerous to their customers health, then we do not care to take a risk for foodpoisoning or worse. Rest in Peace Red Pepper. You were good for a long time.....but it is the last time that customersremember."

"A personal note to the owner. We visited your location last night only to leave disappointed and collectively puzzled. First let us start by saying your hostess was so unaware of her surroundings, once a table is sat it should be her responsibility tokeep an eye on it and make sure someone actually goes to the table, instead she was too busy being perched back on her chairwhich by the way is such a bad look, chairs at host stations are nothing more than tools to make the staff lazy. The young ladywho to our understanding is the manager and also a family member could also not be bothered to pay attention as she was too busymingling by the bar, a shame really. No server, bus person, etc bothered to approach our table so after 15 minutes or so weleft. As we were leaving the hostess said oh are you sure? umm yes lol! and then she said oh I am sorry, tonight we areswamped which your place was not. Not only was your team not swamped but many of the tables around us had finished eating.Sometimes it is better to say nothing than to say something so obtuse. Your prices are quite high for such unimpressiveservice; Sides not being included and all that, we found ourselves unable to justify the prices we were going to pay you after15 minutes waiting with no service. We also found ourselves not finding many interesting options and I know thismight sound silly but your font selection, inconsistency in capitalization, the random use of bold letters, and the prices beingin a larger font than the item itself are simply bad menu design choices that were highly distracting while browsing throughyour menu. Also, you are wasting a lot of money in printing paper menus and it isn 't environmentally conscientious but that 'syour prerogative I suppose. Oh, one last thing that giant structure behind the hostess is also very odd and its really ruiningthe flow of your space by taking away from the dining room as well as the lamps, you could really benefit fr"
