Customer Review Summary
Diners return most often for the Dhansak, singled out as a favourite alongside the biryani, chicken shashlik, prawn curry, and onion bhaji, with several describing the food as delicious and plentiful and the staff as welcoming. A few also mention reasonable prices and free on-premises parking after certain hours, and quick service on a quiet evening. Against this, a recurring complaint surfaces around inconsistent execution: one reviewer found a Chicken Tikka starter swimming in oil, another described a curry full of uncooked tomato chunks, and a third reported being denied a requested chapati substitution and told bluntly to accept naan instead, leading them to leave the meal unfinished. One diner also objected to Peri Peri being offered on an Indian menu. Despite these gripes, the more frequent account is of guests returning repeatedly and recommending the Dhansak in particular.

“Not at all happy with the dish we got. The curry was full of uncooked tomatoes with huge chunks. Very dissatisfied. Never ordering again from here .”

“Chillies is the best Indian takeaway and restaurant in town. The food is amazing whether you’re eating in or getting a takeaway. I’ve tried so many dishes over the years, but their Dhansak is hands down my ultimate favourite — absolutely delicious every time. On top of that, the staff are so nice and always make you feel welcome.”
- Mr Sangani
“The food was satisfactory, though it noticeably lacked both herbs and spices, particularly chilli heat, despite my request for an extra spicy dish. …”
