Quick info
About Chilli Masala
At 4 High St in Dingwall, Chilli Masala is an Indian restaurant whose menu puts curry first. Eating in comes with a minimum spend, which is worth knowing before a table is chosen and the order is planned. The dessert menu is small, so the main courses carry most of the choice. Anyone building a meal here can start from the curry list and settle the order around that spend before sitting down to eat.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply on Chilli Masala. The strongest praise goes to the chicken patia, described as sweet and sour with a little heat, and one takeaway order of popadums with pickle tray, mushroom pilau and peshwari naan was called delicious. Several describe friendly, attentive staff, a clean, newly decorated room and a varied, reasonably priced menu, and one diner was gifted a small pot of their favourite dip.

“The food was really disappointing and lacked flavour. The server was nice and friendly, but unfortunately wasn’t able to accommodate our requests. Overall, the experience didn’t justify the price.”
- Gary Rowe
“My wife & I shared a Take-away (4x Popadums & Pickle Tray, Chicken Patia, with Mushroom Pilau & Peshwari Naan. DELICIOUS. One of the best Patias that I tasted (Sweet & Sour with a little heat). Friendly staff.”

“Long waiting time. Weird taste, everything tastes too sweet with little other flavor. Price reasonable but small portion. Not recommended.”
- shashi kiran
“This restaurant don’t deserve any rating. I had a very unpleasant experience at this restaurant. We didn’t even get to the point of ordering food because the manager was extremely rude from the start. Instead of welcoming us, he began lecturing us on how we “had to” order, which felt completely unnecessary and unprofessional. His tone was harsh and came across as more of a warning than guidance, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Because of this behavior, we decided to leave without ordering anything. It’s disappointing when customer service is so poor that you can’t even enjoy the basic experience of dining out. I would not recommend this place based on how we were treated.”
