    Samosas (there were 3) the sauces were tasteful as well
    Mimi B.

    I believe I've found my spot! My friend and I have been on the hunt for the best Indian cuisine. We found our No. 1 spot thus far! We were greeted right away, and promptly seated for lunch. Our orders were taken after we reviewed such an array of options! the best yet! We were greeted by the owners during this visit, we had an opportunity to chat with the lovely husband and wife team! Making it very inviting and homey! We were very comfortable in our selected booth, the decor gave good vibes! We settled on Samosa (perfection) as an appetizer; Garlic Nan (delicious); Vegetable Noodle dish (excellent), Saag Chicken paneer(amazing); and butter chicken (also delicious). The waiter was great at explaining the heat levels (Mild, Medium & hot) I chose Medium and my friend chose Mild. We both were satisfied with the choices of heat. After starting our meal, it was so good that my friend ordered several dishes to take home! We will definitely return! If you love Northern Indian cuisine you will love this restauran!

    Garlic Naan
    Brandon W.

    I've had a craving for good Indian food for a while, and on an evening in the area the Yelp reviews led me to Red Chillez. This was a really fantastic choice and I'm happy we came! Ordering, frankly, was challenging because I'm not well aware of the different terminology when it comes to Indian food, I just know that every time I have some it's delicious. I know simple things like the difference in Naan and Roti, or that Tikka Masala is good, but my group really wanted to venture out and try some new things here. Lucky for us, the staff here is fantastic and really helped with some recommendations. We started with an appetizer and some beers - The owner strongly encouraged trying one of the authentic Indian beers which they carry, and so we had the Haywards 5000. For an over 6% ABV beer, it was surprisingly light and smooth drinking, and I really enjoyed it! He tells me that next time I should get the Taj Mahal beer, which I just might. For an appetizer, we got the Samosa and the Chicken Ghee Roast. Let me tell you, both of these were so delicious that I nearly forgot to take pictures. The Samosa was plump with savory filling and a perfectly crisp crust, and the two dipping sauces were good (the green one being a bit spicy, the brown one being sweeter.) The Ghee Roast was recommended by the server, and it was truly fantastic. I could have made a whole meal out of that. We couldn't decide on entrees, so we ended up ordering several to share. We got the Chicken Tikka Masala (for something familiar), the Saag Chicken, and at the recommendation of the staff the Chicken Chettinad. The Tikka Masala and Saag were both delicious, with generous seasoning, rich flavor, and tender chicken. But the real show stopper here was the Chettinad, which was easily the best dish of the night. It was spicy, absolutely packed with flavor, and is 100% the thing I will order again. We also ordered both breads (Butter Roti and Garlic Naan). Both were fantastic but the Roti was a real treat and I would strongly recommend it. One person at the table also wanted the Goat Biryani because he has had it before at a different restaurant and liked it. We asked to make that extra spicy. While they said they could do this, unfortunately it came out with zero spice and was fairly dry and unimpressive. There was also a lot of pieces of bone in the meal which might be traditional but still made it less pleasant to eat. It's the only dish of the night I would avoid next time. There are some small things that could be better overall, but they weren't major enough to knock off a star. Service was much slower than most restaurants, so our dinner took significantly longer than the amount of time we had allotted in our evenings plans. Also, we were told the dishes like Tikka Masala and Saag would come with rice on the side (so we didn't order any), and they ultimately did not. All of the staff were wonderful and I could come back just for them, but I want to be clear that the vast majority of the food was delicious as well. It was a great outing and I'd come again, now armed with a bit more information for the next visit.

    Samosa

    I always enjoy my experience here! I just wanted to circle back and give them another 5 star review. The service, food and ambiance are always great. This particular time my husband and I visited with our toddler and our toddler was acting crazy because he was super tired. The owner brought him a mango drink to try and help which I thought was so kind. They also opened up the patio they had locked so I could run around with him and then even though we were going to eat in they were gracious about us needing to actually have our food to go so we wouldn't keep disturbing everyone and so we could eat in peace at home. I will always be back and recommend to others.

    THE VEGETABLE BIRYANI, all caps.
    K V.

    Get the VEGETABLE BIRYANI and SPRING ROLLS! Okay, I stumbled upon Red Chillez after discovering my love for Authentic Indian Cuisine. I'm typically a plant eater so I chose the vegetable biryani. It's the Best Vegetable Biryani in this area! Extremely flavorful, with the right amount of heat (it comes medium spiced) plus, they take it a step beyond with the vegetables added (I won't spoil it and tell you how). No other Indian spot is bringing it like this on this particular dish--no one. It's my top recommendation should you choose to dine here. But make no mistake, this kitchen takes pride in every dish, so they are all likely equally amazing. Now, those spring rolls are a gift from heaven. I'd go so far to officially dub them, THE BEST SPRING ROLLS IN THE COUNTRY. They were so good, I don't even have proof (via a picture) to show you, and I'm not sorry about that. Not one bit. It is difficult to perfect a spring roll. Some places nail the crisp crust, but have a mushy mess inside. Others nail the inside, and the crust is just abysmal. Red Chillez has nailed both! A light crispy crust with deliciousness and consistency inside every bite. If spring rolls are your thing, check these out! The service was great and the ambiance is nice! I'd say they do a great job of blending the cultural aspect with a modern touch. The drink menu is extensive as well. Each one has its own pizzazz. Check this place out, whether for dinner or lunch. It's worth mentioning that they stop serving lunch at 2:30 pm daily. They will reopen for dinner at 5:30 pm. This is important, because once you get a taste, you'll find yourself begging for more right at 2:30 pm. Enjoy!

    Garlic naan, butter chicken medium, rice and samosas. This is all I could eat 1st go round. But I'll be eating the rest later! SO GOOD!
    Kayla T.

    The gentleman at the front door was so nice and helped walk me through the menu. I ordered the butter chicken medium which comes with rice, along with ordering garlic naan and I tried samosas for the first time. When I say the food is SO GOOD!!! That butter chicken GRAVY!!!! I'd lick the bowl clean! The samosas are so tasty and filling, it came with two sauces not sure of the names, but both were good! Good portion sizes, so I'll be eating on this probably today and tomorrow. The place was so clean and a peaceful chill environment. I will definitely be back soon! Thank You!

    Chili paneer and fried pepper
    Jeet G.

    Really great service, the owner came up to speak to us as well! Family owned and such a sweet staff. We're always on top of it even though they were packed on a Wednesday evening Decor isn't anything super special, the ambiance is lively, but wouldn't recommend for date nights if you want privacy or a quiet place. All the tables are close to each other so it's easy to everyone else in the restaurant The Chili Paneer was amazing, you have to try it! The other dishes weren't my favorite though. Might have better non-vegetarian options. The green chutney was very flavorful

    Chicken Hakka noodles and lamb tikka masala!!!

    Stumbled across this restaurant a couple years ago, my absolute favorite Indian restaurant. Food is amazing flavor is incredible, best naan ever

    Chicken Saag - so good
    Brian F.

    Great Food. Nice people. Even spoke to a chef who came out to check on how my food was. I would recommend.

    Butter chicken, lamb vindaloo - rice came with both dishes
    Becca D.

    We've been wanting to go here for a while and finally made time on my birthday. The staff was very attentive and kind, making sure we were satisfied and had what we needed. We got an order of lamb vindaloo, butter chicken, and garlic naan. The butter chicken was very tasteful and good. The naan was fresh, crispy and soft, and we ended up getting a second order to take some home. The lamb vindaloo was the star of the show though. It was so flavorful and robust. The best we've ever had. We will definitely be back! Looking forward to trying more from their menu!

    Garlic naan, chicken vindaloo, lamb tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and palak paneer.

Service was good and they were very polite. There was something about this place that just didn't sit right. Not sure what it was. We all ordered dosas with different fillings. A south Indian staple. Crispy thing pancake type but paper thin stuffed with usually potatoes but here they had so many different things to pick from, eggs, cheese, chicken tikka, etc . I had a masala dosa which was traditional spicy potato filling served with chutneys and Dahl. Others on the table had the chicken tikka masala and the chicken keema which is ground chicken . They were all tasty. The Dahl dipping sauce was good. The chutneys also tasty. The dosa itself was very oily and didn't stay crispy like others I've had before. This was kinda disappointing and I didn't end up eating most of it because it was soggy. The filling was also nice and spicy. We all kinda felt that way about the dosas. Also had a plain naan, which was kinda flat not puffy and crispy, which makes me believe they don't have a tandoor to make naan like most places do. Shame really . We also tried the medu vada, served with Dahl to dip into also these are fried dough but spiced . They were ok. Nothing spectacular. Anyway they have a pretty extensive menu and seem to have a good take out business . Probably not a return here for me though.

The inside had enough seating for people and service was good. Although I think our server could have paid a bit more attention to us in terms of refilling our water. But it is a fairly chill atmosphere inside. We got the Gobi 65, Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Mango Lassi. The Gobi 65 at mild spice still had a slight kick to it, but it was very flavorful! I really enjoyed it. The Chicken Tikka Masala tasted very buttery and not as spicy as I wanted it to be (asked for medium spice), so it makes me wonder if they accidentally gave me the wrong dish... like Butter Chicken? Otherwise, it was alright. Lots of bell peppers inside the dish and the chicken was cut into small pieces. The Garlic Naan was super garlicky which I loved and tasted great being dipped in the Chicken Tikka Masala. For the Mango Lassi, it came pre-packaged in this small bottle. It tasted fine, but not as sweet as I wanted it to be. My friend liked the Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, which came in a massive bowl. Overall, I enjoyed the food here. Although I kind of want to get the Chicken Tikka Masala again and see if it tastes less buttery and more spicy next time. I would come back to try the other items on the menu!

The lamb saag was so tender and flavorful. My lamb saag was not spicy at all and I think it was left out, but it still was good. It needed just a pinch of salt, but flavor/seasonings deepened after I let it sit on the fridge. The rice was pretty good also but needed a pinch of salt as well. The portion size was good for the price. The lamb vindaloo was tender and spicy! Spicy in a good way to a where it added flavor to the dish and not just being hot for no reason. The garlic naan was good fresh, but it didn't reheat the best. Lastly, I got the lamb samosas. The meat was filled to the brim and they were fresh! The sauces it came with were good! Also, the mango juice was to die for!!! I would definitely try more menu items and I was able to eat off the meal about two or three times. All the food mentioned came out to about $60 which is unbeatable. I will certainly return!

The taste of the biryani is consistent (I ordered same dish over 10 times now). It is not too spicy, which is good because it does not dominate the inherent flavor of the biryani. The mutton is cooked so well, that the pieces separate out even with gentle pressure. This is one dish that can truly take you back in time (and place). My review is for mutton biryani in specific. Other items are good to great but this item is truly exceptional. Other items we order frequently: mirchi bajji, kebab platter, chicken 65, chicken biryani, goat sukka, kubani ka meeta, double ka meeta.
