Chilli's Indian Restaurant in Derry

Ordered on line at 6.15pm, delivered at 8.45pm. Not good enough....food was terrible

Delivery good but food is not good I ordered mild curry his send me sweet paneer and naan also burn i am very disappointed with this food.

Food was bland tasteless thought give it a go as people said was lovely far from it sauce was like water just bad experience overall will not be back

Food is stunning and so fresh best take away in derry 👌

We run a Latin American street food business in the north west of Ireland - La Tia Juana's - and we've developed the custom of calling in here after we've been trading at an event or festival to unwind, celebrate, and eat someone else's delicious food. So we've been here fairly often in the last few years, most recently in July 2024. Usually I go for the onion bhaji starter along with a mixed platter to share, followed by a lamb phall - a hot, hot dish that is just within my tolerance range, and that's speaking as someone who serves one of the hottest sauces on the local street food scene. My family - and co-workers - aren't quite as brave/foolhardy and would typically have something less extreme. I have to say that we have been consistently delighted with the quality of the food (which is why we keep coming back) and above all, the service, led by the charming gentleman who owns the place and whose name, sadly escapes me right now. These are good people making great food and we certainly will be back. as a matter of fact, I'm just about to drive in there later for a take away as after this weekend's event and a very late getting home time last night, we're just too bushed to dress up and go out.

Excellent Peshwari naan. Probably the best I've ever had. Tasty vegetable pathia and the sheek kebab was great. Portions very large so we left a fair bit. Don't overdo the ordering!

Speedy delivery, chicken curry I ordered definitely had a kick to it 👌 lol, will be ordering again

The food was bland. Not good value for money.

Tasty Indian food. Will be back for sure.

I ordered Biryani 3 to 4 times, the first time the taste was good but the next 3 times was not so good. Not sure what is the reason either chef changes or something. I wanted to give feedback but not how they would take it, so posted here. Gave 4 stars because I have tasted only biryani, so I cannot judge based on one item.

Ordered a take away. Took an hour and a half to get here. Vindaloo was lovely and really spicey but the poppadoms were burned. Over all disappointed

Vegetable korma. Absolutely delicious. Great staff. Gorgeous food.

I went to this restaurant with my friends We had chicken biriyani poori bhaji ,chilli chicken masala garlic Nan and butter Nan It was surprisingly satisfying and tasty The service was really good and even gave suggestions on selecting the dish . 💯 a good place to eat with 😋 and happy

Ordered a Tikka Kebab and a Paneer Makhini. This was by far the nicest kebab I have had on this island. The panner was delicious too. Got as a take-away. Didn't take long either. Staff were very helpful.

The absolute best Indian restaurant I've ever tried, anywhere. I go there regularly and each time normally try something different and I've never had a meal I didn't love. Dining in the portions are quite large, which is great, and normally leaves enough to take home for lunch the next day. Can't recommend this place enough if you enjoy good, tasty Indian food.

Very friendly service, best Indian cuisine in this city. Very authentic! I had the Tandoori Mixed Grill tonight with Naan and Rice. Everything tastes like it was made from scratch, right down to the bare ingredient. ❤️❤️

Best Indian food in Derry, loads of flavour and excellent service

We never came to chillys but we know every food of chillys because of Akshith who is the most dedicated employee. Chillys fyi don’t ever mess with Akshith. He is our kid…. I am his dad

Most Nice Restaurant.My son Akshith works there...bcoz of him I tried a lot of foods there....My son is a dedicated employee...there so proud to be his Mom........Akki baby mom is proud of your excellent service

Good place to dine it. Very friendly staff..

Food and staff behavior not up to the mark

Fantastic food! Excellent service!

Home away from home. Hands down the best Indian food in Derry.

Best Indian restaurant in town! We had a great dinner!

I've never had a bad meal. I especially love their sagg.

Fantastic Indian restaurant. I've been going to this restaurant for years now and never disappointed.

Really lovely fresh food. Lovely service staff. Quick food. Really impressed.

I don't understand why the dine-in price is more than take away prices . 9-10£ dish is almost 12-13£. That's 20% extra... Dine in and takeaway have different menus. Paneer makhani -4/5 Naan-3/5 Diet restrictions are well considered.- 5/5

There were only 2 other people in the restaurant when we arrived and it still took an hour to be served our main courses. The food tasted okay but I ordered veg madras and I asked if the veg was fresh or frozen. I was told it was fresh which is why I ordered it but when it came out it was clearly a frozen veg mix and I don't know what the sauce was but it wasn't madras, it wasn't even a tomato based sauce, more like gravy and no spice or heat to it. The glasses on our table were not only dirty to look at but sticky to touch and we asked for clean glasses. The waitress took the dirty ones and put them back on the shelf with the other 'clean' ones. She didn't even attempt to pretend they would be cleaned. There were 2 waitresses working and when 2 people at the table ordered drinks they would bring one then wait another 5 minutes before bringing the other. And at this point there was noone else in the restaurant except us 3. Definitely won't be back and would not recommend. It wasn't cheap for the quality of food and lack of service

Good Indian Restaurant at Pardes... Foot Test is nice, bit costly but ok if you earning in pounds.

The worst Indian restaurant ever. The delivery of food is super slow and pathetic. The masala for any item is same be it chicken or paneer. Don’t waste your money and time here.

From the second we walked in, we were welcomed and made feel at home. Food was amazing and such great service! Will be back soon.

Tasty food great service Had dinner with my friends Will come again

Decided to give Chillies Resturant a try and was very dissapointed with the service and found the food bland Very slow service due to the fact that the resturant gives priorty to take away orders. Our table were left waiting an 1.5 hrs for our starters and then given the incorrect order. the worst Samosa I have ever had - more of a deep fried dumpling. Yuck Jalfrezie was no where near spicey enough I could have got better from the super market Freezer section for a fraction of the cost! I do not recommend this resuturant for anyone who enjoys Indian food

Great food takeaway. Currys all round. Would definitely recommend. Don't be afraid to ask for stuff not on the menu.

I've been to Chilli's a number of times and the food is always superb

Tasteless..not authentic in anyway,zero spices,chicken was like rubber,both curries almost inedible,won't be back,absolute waste of money

Very authentic Indian food. One of our favorite places in derry. One thing to mention - take your cash with you, they don't split the bill . But food is very nice. Samosas are really awesome..

Not upto the mark, disappointing experience

I was gifted vouchers for this takeaway First time to ever eat from here I had the Tandoori King Prawn with Lenon & Cashew rice This was hands down the most delicious food i’ve tasted for quite some time. I would highly recommend this place for their high standard of ingredients, fabulous choice of menu & super customer service Thank you Chillis

Our favourite Indian restaurant closed a while ago and we thought we we try Chillis. This is now our favourite Indian restaurant. The food is tasty the staff friendly and the service is great. I ate my food too quickly to get a photo. We recently visited Chillies again and the food was absolutely amazing. The service was great. Highly recommended for tasty Indian food.

Poor tasting food. Grumpy staff and manager.

Was a 5 now a 1 Collected a curry no rice. Rang back and was told we have no delivery driver on and basically like it or lump it. Rang back a week later (tonight) I ordered a curry from you which I collected myself last week and there was no rice. If I order tonight another curry (which comes with rice) can I have a starter as a replacement. The girl on the phone with the rudest tone. "Ye wha" I hung up. Use to order all the time. Not be anymore

This restaurant claims they serve halal food but like most others in Derry those claim this refuse to show any evidence by way of packaging with the hallal sign . They expect if face value to trust them blindly. They cannot even explain to show how they know it's hallal and have to trust them but cannot answer then how they know it's hallal. All trust by word of mouth. If it is hallal then the business would have no issues or qualms to show and gladly. One was not born yesterday and ones right for peace of mind and assurance. So my Muslim friend new to Derry had to leave. This city send not very Muslim friendly for him sadly. Restaurant loss.

The naan was edible. The chicken korma was the most British tasteless form of not quite food (feel like calling it food would be to kind). Worst Indian food I have even tried to eat. ZERO spice. Korma tasted like nothing but a can of coconut milk. Salt anyone? Curry maybe? I have had Indian food made by Mexican cooks that was more Indian than what this was trying to be. Avoid at all cost. Eat at your own peril. Zero stars.

The korma was kor-meh. I don’t know how there are so many 5-Star reviews. Brits must just love bland food. Indian food needs flavor. This had none at all. It tasted sickly-sweet and no amount of salt improved it. The worst Indian food from my home city in America would be preferable to this. Unless you love it bland, go elsewhere.

Nothing but garbage. mutton biriyaani was the worst I've ever tasted. chicken curry was nothing but Onion tomoatto sause. Mutton pieces were so hard and hard to eat. How on earth these people are running a business in the name of Indian restaurant I don't understand. Biriyaani should have spices like ginger, garlic, corriander, mint, green chillie, cinnamon,cardamom,turmeric, cumin, nutmeg, star anise, bay leaves etc....I could not smell nothing, not a sinlge spice. I wish I can teach these so called restaurants how to cook reall Indian food. These people are frauds who make money in the name of food. Its not about money but about quality. Shame on the people who are running this third class business. Never cheat people when it come to food. I wish they read this review. If this same food would have been served in India...their business would have been shut in 24 hours. People who know what is Indian biriyaani, chicken curry will never order food from this third class Restaurant.

Best food in town and the staff are very friendly. Top marks.

Ordered a vegetable korma - absolutely tasteless. Looked like baby food with a bag of frozen peas and carrots. The peshwari naan is so tough it's hurting my jaw to chew it Very disappointing and will not be getting a take away from here again

Proper Indian cuisine, no cutting corners, delicious. Extra cudos for sticking up to an impressive standard in a small place like Derry where they have no other competition (there is just one another place nearby who are clearly delusional about what they think Indian food is). Hope they keep it up.

Waited 1hr 30mins. Food arrived without rice, yet it states on the menu "All come with rice". I called to complain and was told it was because I didn't state that I had ordered rice as I had also ordered naan (I ordered and paid for this separately). I like Chillis food and have been going there for years but this is my first time ordering a delivery and I'm really disappointed.

The best in town by far, flawless!!!!

7 years ago I reviewed the restaurant "Good curry, shame about the decor". Tonight we had a family takeout. My wife ordered the mixed vegetable curry, which turned out to be frozen diced veg with a house curry sauce mixed in. I have looked to find this type of frozen veg on the websites of all the local supermarkets but no, none had anything this bad. You know the sort of thing you used to be able to get - basically a mix of mostly peas and carrots with the diced veg all exactly the same size. Apparently no longer available in supermarkets so presumably bought by the restaurant in bulk from some supplier. Shame about the curry, shame about the decor.

Delicious paneer sageer and a generous portion

I have ordered and visited a few times and those who know me are aware of how fussy I am when it comes to Indian food. Chillies are always consistant in providing high quality and very tasty food.

Well worth a visit. We got a takeaway and the food was just perfect.

Great authentic Indian takeaway ( especially in Covid times)

Ordered the lamb Tikka, Nicest lamb tikka I've ever had in my life.

Shockingly bad no taste, chilli's you were once good 👍

The best food Restaurant in Londonderry,, with great taste and quick service

Very tasty, well informed staff able to deal with kids & allergies. Lovely dinner.

We have eaten in Chilli`s often and safe to say the quality of food is outstanding. I think the location does`nt do it any favours. A bit far from city centre. But worth the extra little bit of travel. Try it you won`t be dissappointed.

Been a customer of Chillis Indian Restaurant for over 10 yrs. Excellent place to have Indian Food.

This is the best indian restaurant in town amd possibly my favourite place to eat in town. Whether you eat in or order a takeaway, the food is always authentic and so fresh and delicious. Staff are friendly and the restaurant is cosy and relaxing. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and great service

Love this indian take away.fantastic food.Have ordered 3 times and have never been disappointed.Have waited way too long for good indian fare as I'm originally from London and have spent a couple of amazing years in India.Did not eat in restaurant so can't comment.

Usually dine at mama masalas, but came here for a change of scenery. What a mistake. Food took forever, drinks were ridiculously poor. Could have made better myself at home. I think that says it all. Avoid avoid. Especially their inflated prices when paying in euro. Restaurant was empty. Ask yourself why!! Pathetic

Never again. The food was disgusting. The worst indian takeaway I've had.

Authentic delicious Indian food with great friendly service ✨🌟

Me and my wife absolutely love chilli's. It is the best Indian restaurant in derry and I have tried them all. Its a wee diamond in the rough.

We were two Americans on holiday passing through. By chance we came across this place and so, so glad we did. It was the best meal we had of the trip by far. Of particular note was the mango lassi: creamy, thick, and fruity. We had the saag paneer and the chicken hindu dish, both came out piping hot with fresh quality ingredients and tender chicken, not dry or overcooked. Perfectly spicy too at madras hot. The naan was soft and buttery as it should be. Very generous portions too, two entrees were way more than we could eat, took the rest for takeaway for a second meal. Can't recommend this place enough, we consider ourselves Indian food snobs and were thoroughly satisfied.

pathetic excuses of a takeaway not nice and small portions

Gooooood food, great price, fantastic service. Can't fault it, and tha's not like me. Had the butter chicken, really good. Great value for money. Will defs be using again.

This restaurant looks a bit grotty from the outside but don't be put off by that. The food is excellent, portions substantial and their butter chicken melts in the mouth. Complimentary poppadoms came with a delicately spiced onion accompaniment which I could've eaten all night and the mint yoghurt tasted of yoghurt. Staff are really friendly too. The restaurant itself was quiet for a Friday night but takeaways were flying out the door. Great place for a relaxing meal after a really long week.

Always great food and service plus friendly staff.

We went here for an early evening meal and really enjoyed it. A pity that there were no Early Bird offers available in the menu but the food was absolutely excellent. My wife and I both had the Lamb Pasanda and pilau rice with sides of Saag Paneer and Peshwari Naan. The quality of the food was fantastic, portion size was really good and the bill was pretty reasonable at £33. Service was very friendly too. We’ll be back!

One of our regular haunts. Excellent as usual. Will always return. Waiting staff very friendly. I had Garlic Tikka, Mrs had Passanda, Pilau rice and Peschwari naan. Simply can't be beaten for authentic Indian food. Washed down with a large cold bottle of Cobra.

Excellent ambience n delectable food! A must visit!

I only go to two restaurants in Derry, and this is one of them! This place is like a we hidden Gem and is unbelievably tasty! Best Indian restaurant in Derry and the service and atmosphere is great! When me and my partner come now they give us the same table and even ask do we need menus (usually no as we know what were getting every time). I've come here for staff do's with a rowdy group to just me and my partner and they always are very professional and enjoy the craic with their customers. recommend this restaurant to anyone! I'm here at least twice a month, if I can more!!

Easily the nicest Indian restaurant in Derry, great food, reasonably priced and friendly staff

Best Indian food in Derry...fact!

This is the worst restaurant I have been to. I normally don't write reviews but feel need to warn people from this terrible place!! I ordered a take away and they said 20 min. went there - two families in the restaurant and it was essentially empty. Waited for 1 hr to pick up takeaway with kids in the car hungry !! I would have cooked myself in this time!! Happened second time now - Never going back this place! Order if you have all the time in the world and not hungry!! Food is rubbish,

I've tried many indian takeaways living away in north east england for 17 years and one other popular indian takeaway in Derry. I've found most to be very good or delicious. I tried Chillis last night and was sorely disappointed. The Onion Bhaji were patty/burger shapped and appeared to be bought in frozen or pre cooked and frozen. They didnt taste fresh, they had no crunch or caramelization on the outside and were bland and mushy on the inside. They were served with a dipping sauce that was just the standard cheap watery chilli suace available in any discount store. Rubbish. The Cicken Bhuna was rubbery with a watery bland sauce that had heat but very little flavour and tasted more like a cheap chinese curry sauce. Veg Pilaw again bland, watery taste with few vegetables. Sag Aloo didnt taste fresh either but was better than the Bhuna. The Nann Bread was good. I only ordered from here based on the decent reviews i viewed on tripadvisor. I can only imagine most of them are fake. I feel aggreived at paying £24 for 2 mains, rice a starter and a nann and it being such poor poor quality. I wouldnt eat here again.

We've been here a lot over the last two years and every single time the food is delicious and the staff are always welcoming. (We've also made orders for delivery and they've been just as good as expected)

I mostly visit chilli's restaurant. I like the food in this restaurant very much it is very tasty. It is the best restaurant

The food is really beautiful and the staff are nice as well

We went there to eat on a Wednesday evening, we ordered samosas, tandoori mix and jafrani chicken. Every dish was great, well cooked and seasonned. Staff was helpful and friendly. And this restaurant is not expensive at all. A must see in Derry

Exceptionnal indian restaurant. We ordered samosas, tandoori mix and jafrani chicken and all dishes were perfectly cooked and seasonned. Staff is friendly and helpful and the restaurant is not expensive at all. A must see if you're in Derry.

Really nice food and very friendly staff as per normal . Always call in here when I'm in derry city and am never disappointed. Highly recommend the chicken tikka madras .

Great customer service and the food is quality. Best Indian food in Derry.

Propper indian food, all meals are maid from scrach so you will wait but its worth it, chef is indian and is also the owner,

Excellent Indian food. Lovely staff

Enjoyed by those who enjoy Indian food

Pretty empty on a Friday evening and oddly for an Indian restaurant no smell of Indian food.

For "Authentic" Indian food. Must try Dal Makhni

Amazing Indian food ! great place for Indian food in Derry London NRI

Chillis Indian Restaurant is the very best Indian eatery in Ulster, nothing comes close to the beautiful flavours created by their kitchen

Absolutely beautiful. Food is the nicest you will get anywhere. Love this place. Friendly staff and the food is consistently fabulous

Excellent service. The food is absolutely beautiful. Lovely staff. Love it

I almost didn't go to Chilli's as I'd read a couple of poor reviews but I'm so so glad my husband and I did. Having relocated back to the area just a year ago from England I've been missing my favourite Indian restaurant. I'd tried a few different places in the City and Letterkenny but wasn't impressed. The food however in Chilli's was full of flavour and the staff were very friendly. I'm definitely going to make this a regular place to eat.
