Chilis Indian Restaurant in Reading

Very good Resturant the food was excellent.

Very good authentic flavours and excellent delicious food ….thanks to Maruti chef for his recommendations

The real and authentic taste of Indian food in Reading. The chef Maruti is awesome and the whole staff is very committed on providing the right experimce

Amazing staff. We managed to reach just before 3pm and they still served us with smiles. Great indo Chinese options for vegetarians.

Loved the food. It was spicy which is something you don't really get that much. Loved the service. Had to wait for 30 mins as it was very busy but the food made it worthwhile.

Had a lovely team lunch at Chillis. Huge portions for both starter and mains.

Delicious food with authentic flavors, especially the chicken Dum biriyani and chillie chicken. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Been here twice, lovely place. Food has been great on both occasions. Highly recommend

Very good food, rich ambiance. Delicious food.

Brilliant food. Masala fish & Biryani was absolutely superb!!

A very good address The welcome is perfect and the dishes are as tasty as they are plentiful.

Gautami took care of us with utmost care and attention. Food was excellent! would defo come back

The food is as very nice and we enjoyed the hospitality. Nice to come with the family.

Excellent food and outstanding service Great ambience

Great food and service as always.

Really awesome food. Very flavoursome and excellent service. Very friendly. Highly recommend it for authentic Hyderabadi food.

Took ages to bring the food, very high price and services charge on top ripp off

Chili's is great for meeting up with friends, at a warm inviting place, to eat delicious food with attentive service😊 We keep bringing a different set of friends to try Chili's food because we enjoy it so much and then our friends do too, so they bring their friends😊 We are looking forward to our next visit😊

After hearing so much about this place from friends, I decided to check it out with my family. The food has a good flavor, and the cooking style is authentically South Indian, but the quality of the ingredients is disappointing. The chicken tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer for ages before cooking, and while the spices tried to cover it up, the stale flavor was unmistakable. I also tried the Andhra Chepala Pulusu (takeaway), and the fish had the same issue. It feels like they’re prioritizing using up old frozen meat instead of ensuring freshness. Honestly, it’s not a place I’d return to, even though the recipes themselves are spot-on. Fresh ingredients would make a difference and good for restaurant.

Excellent service excellent food Excellent people

All the times we are getting authentic Indian taste and spices we want. Happy to recommend.

Fantastic experience, food is awesome.

i love dis food specialy chilis Indian👌🏻thank you so much Gouthami for good service

A really authentic Indian restaurant. Amazing serive and great food. I asked for a vegetable korma that wasn't on the menu and they made me thr most delicious korma! And the naan bread is one of the best I've tasted. I'd go back!

The restaurant is located at the heart of reading, with amazing food that takes me back to India. Unlike other restaurants where they play around with similar curry base with meat options , here even the curry base differs from one to another. They have retained the authentic flavors and the chef special masala’s giving me a feel of my mothers cooking. Another thing that stands out is the warm, personal touch from its owners, who are deeply involved in both the kitchen and the dining experience. Their commitment to quality, tradition, and hospitality is evident from the moment you walk in. Truly a must visit

Service charge of 12.5% is absolutely a rip off on top of a high priced menu. If your service charge is mandatory then it should be included in your menu so that customers are aware. Food was decent and friendly service

Such a nice ambiance and yummy delicious food and drinks , really loved it .

Service time was very extremely slow and needs improvement. We went here on a busy Saturday night and were seated near the front door beside the bar. Took more than 20mins for our order to be taken and then another 30 or so minutes between finishing our appetisers and main course. Wait time for the check was also very long and had to keep trying to flag staff from behind the bar as we were totally forgotten. No faults with the food, which was excellent. Chilli corn and butter chicken was amazing. Spent over 100£ with a 12.5% service charge which seemed very unfair for bad service. They also need to change the front door hinge, which when opened closes very slowly and lets in cold air.

Beautiful Indian food, each dish has its own individual taste/flavour very well presented, accommodating to variations on requests of dishes. Had an extremely enjoyable evening. Absolutely great food

Excellent and authentic Indian food . Really enjoyed .

The food was amazing… And the service is incredible.

Chilies is the best restaurant I recently tried. I had Chettinad Fish Curry and naan roti, which were delicious, and also tried mutton kothu and chicken kothu, both of which were extraordinary. Highly recommended

Food is just amazing, delicious food which roots to native Hyderabadi restaurant style.

One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to. The atmosphere was really beautiful and the food was delivered in a few minutes since our order . U NEED TO GO

Good service and atmosphere as well

Amazing experience, chicken butter and mango lassi are most try

Fantastic!! Had a superb meal and the Gouthami team were lovely. It is a must, with a huge choice of food. Thank you

Great place to eat at. Had a wonderful experience, and previously been here too. Beautiful experience. Thank you!

As someone who always plays safe at an Indian restaurant (tikka masala, rice, bhajis), the menu was a bit of an eye opener. With it being so deep and varied, the whole table opted to be adventurous and it was well worth it - I certainly enjoyed my Chicken Fry starter and Gongura Lamb! The portions were very generous; we all struggled to clear our plates. The service was great, very attentive but allowed us to go at our own pace, even with the restaurant full. And pricewise was very reasonable at £40 a head considering we each had a starter, main with rice and bread, and two drinks. If you fancy something more authentic, definitely give this place a look. I'd recommend booking as was very busy from about 8pm. And treat yourself to a Thumbs Up, its a local brand of cola by Coca-Cola but tastes totally different 👍🏻

Food and the abience was good. We really enjoyed it

Gouthami was brilliant. Great day. Thank you

Fantastic Indian food. Highly recommend ..

Gouthami was brilliant!! The food was excellent!!! Will be back!!!

The Food was spectacular. If you want to enjoy authentic Hyderabadi food in Reading, this is the place to go. The family is very friendly and top notch hospitality-wise. Overall had a great experience.

Went in there on a date with the wife. We went there close to their noon closing time. But they were cordial and took us in anyway - with the promise to order quickly. We did so. The service and the ambience was lovely. The food was overall okay. The only thing that did not live up to the expectations was the fish starter - masala fish. It turned out to mild tasting fish pakoda. But in grand scheme of things this was a tiny niggle. Overall the food was great. Would visit yet again.

Lovely food and staff attentive. Would highly recommend 👌

We were going to this restaurant in Newbury in the past and now in Reading ... same as before, great tasty food , atmosphere and service..

I usually don’t prefer lamb, being more used to Indian mutton, but Anjin recommended I try their lamb biryani. I went for it, and honestly, I was blown away—probably the best biryani I’ve had in ages. Not sure if I can go back to chicken biryani now! Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. Big thanks to Anjin, Krishna and Anusha for the amazing hospitality. Hope you guys open a branch in London soon!

Deliciously good and very good service

Food is delicious and makes me feel like I’m in India. Service and atmosphere are great. It’s my all time favourite!

Best Indian restaurant in Reading by a mile. Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. A must go if you like a good curry!

Reminds me of home :) staff were lovely

The food was exceptionally amazing! Friendly and good service! Excellent ambience, suitable for celebration. Must try Paneer Mongolian, Prawn Papper Fry, and Fish Tikka!

Always feel like I'm eating a hearty home meal

Very tasty food but including 12% service charge, it was very pricy.

Great kerala fish curry, lamb briyani and service! My girlfriend couldn't eat much spicy but they took care of that so well 😁

Visited for the first time due to a business trip. Excellent food and service. Will certainly return next time in Reading. Highly recommend 👍

Lovely food and great atmosphere

Nice food, nice service and nice environment

Great atmosphere good service, they even gave us free Ice cream after meal

Brilliant Indo Chinese food. Very nice service.

£100 for 2 portions of veg noodles, 3 portion of veg soup, 1 portion of chilli chicken and 1 portion of fish Amritsari. Food was tasty but too pricey!! Not impressed.

Incredible food . Best food I’ve had in UK in 3 years.

Excellent quality food. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful. Would definitely return.

Beautiful place with beautiful shutters for windows. They took a lot of thought to make this place food was excellent and service was very good would recommend

They should offer something to empty your stomach in a friendly way. The food is soo fricking good I wish I was able to keep on eating.

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to anywhere in the world. Food was phenomenal and accessibility for my handicapped wife was wonderful.

I had chicken 65 and murgh kalimirch….absolutely tasty and all of the staff were amazing. Riti absolutely amazing with her suggestions and all of the dishes she suggested were amazing. Will come back.

So happy to have found this restaurant. Great food, service and atmosphere, will definitely return very soon

Good ambience and prominent space to have delicious dishes. Thanks to the chef and chillis family members for opening a nice restaurant in Reading for foodies. I am a great follower to Krishna head of the Chillis to join as a partner in business.

An absolute hidden Jewel Chilis was recommended by a friend so our first visit was this Friday lunchtime. Decor is modern, clean and comfortable. Mellow, calming music was gently playing in the background. Staff were all welcoming, very attentive and helpful. The menu choice is extensive. The food was absolutely delicious: from the starter of paneer spring rolls, to the main of chana masala and house speciality chicken dish and paswari naan bread, egg fried rice, we thoroughly enjoyed it. All were outstanding, freshly made, full of flavour with layers of spices (not mouth burning at all). The portion sizes were also very big/generous but we still managed to finish it all as it was so moreish. We cannot wait to return to try more of the extensive menu. Lovely place to eat.

Great food, great service and reasonable prices, we had a really nice evening here and would certainly recommend a visit.

It’s our second visit, and the food is definitely different from the type of Indian cuisine you get in Reading. The gongura mutton and chicken fry were excellent, with generous portions. Overall, it's good Indian food and definitely worth trying.

Came here to have lunch with my family, had a great time with really nice food and ambiance

We had a brilliant experience here, dined here with my family and we keep coming back here to enjoy the yummy food

Had a wonderful experience here with my family

This isnt our first visit and we keep coming back because the food is really great.. quite authentic and a very good find.. if you want indian food away from India...this place is it...

Really good food - very authentic and tasty! And even more impressive than the food itself is the warm and attentive service. They tailored the food to the spice level that was best for that particular dish. 100% recommend the gulkan ice cream too, which was delicious and creamy!

The spices were great and very flavourful, but quite a spicy biryani!

We have been several times and have had lovely food and service

Really good food and good service - the staff were really friendly!

We were treated so kindly and taken well care of. Not only was the food excellent, but the waiter was honest with how much food we'd need (between my wife and I) as well. I'll most definitely be back soon.

A beautiful atmospheric resturant which is intimate without feeling overcrowded. Staff were so welcoming, friendly, and very honest about portion sizes and how much food we would need between the two of us - saving money and food waste. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you for a lovely time!

Food was amazing, I would say must try atleast once. Staff and service are very friendly.

It’s the first time we tried this place. Being a vegetarian and my husband being a non vegetarian, it’s very difficult to find a place to eat with proper veg and non veg food. Hands off this is the best place in UK for both options. Ambiance is nice and staff is friendly too. It’s a bit confusing to find the entrance, it’s in upstairs right next to the ‘The bolan Thai restaurant’ Highly recommend if you’re looking for an Indian restaurant to eat around in Reading. Also don’t forget to try their home made ice creams!

Always the best service when I come to Chillis. The staff are so lovely and attentive, food is absolutely delicious, and authentic. I would really recommend the Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan!

Love coming to Chillis! Great food! Great service! Great Atmoshere! The Gobi Manchurian is a must have!

Had multiple good meals here, using it as a safe springboard into new dishes when I've come with friends and family. Spice can be accommodated for. Would recommend the Chilli Mojo (spicy chips) and Chicken Chettinadu

The food and service was lovely. All the service staff were really kind and gave us great recommendations. The atmosphere was very calm and the decor was beautiful. I had a great time - highly recommend!

Nice food with great taste !!! Good atmosphere and nice people....got that Indian tadka feel in Reading!! Surely coming back soon !

The food is amazing. However, we had to wait an hour and a half for our main course after we have ordered (hour after starter). It seemed that Delivery drivers were prioritised. Recommend ordering from this place instead of attending the restaurant.

The food and ambience both are really good. We tried garlic naan , paneer gravy , biryani and dal makhni it's the best in town especially the naan is soft and tasty. We have done both down in and online orders and the quantity is generous and love the food. The only cons is the paneer gravy had too much oil floating.

Nice place, great service, outstanding cuisine! We loved it and recommend everyone to try!

Really good, different and interesting.

Oh wow, I eat a lot of Indian food but was blown away by this indo-chinese offering. The menu choice was extensive, and while the starters appeared expensive, they were double the normal portions (you could share one probably if they weren't so good). Then the main course was outstanding. Our party have already booked their next visit. The same complex has Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean food, but while these seemed to be far more busy, this is probably because they are on the ground floor and easier to find. That suits me if I can have Chilis with a smaller crowd. I will be back, multiple times until I have a bad experience. Definitely my Reading no 1 for now.

Tasty and fresh food served well.

I have been there for many times, it’s very good restaurant mouth watering food dishes, recommend must try

We visited after a lot of recommendations and were totally disappointed. Gobhi 65 was very good. But other than that, we ordered paneer makhani, malai kofta, butter naan and garlic naan. None of these were acceptable. Too creamy, bit sweet and naans weren’t soft. Would definitely not visit again.

Very authentic flavourful Indian food. Good service!

Very good overall. The food was great, so good
