Red Chilliezs in Southend-on-Sea

Visited for the first time last night. Absolute wonderful experience. The food was incredibly flavoursome and the breads excellent. Can't wait to re visit. The service too was great! Thank you all.

Pulli inji chicken here is out of the world, plus prawns roast, travancore chicken fry, parota fish pollichathe all are great ..please do open a branch in Chelmsford 😁😁😁. Honestly recommended for some mallu land food...

Friendly atmosphere. Excellent food and service. Succulent Lamb dish with good portions.

Amazing food great service reasonable prices. Definitely recommend

The food is always amazing, the hospitality is impeccable and the ambience is perfect! Love this place; will continue to recommend it to friends and family.

Food is good but too pricey, and service is not organised. Less workforce and attention not given to seated dining customers when new guests come in. Causing delays in orders all together. No discounts provided

One of the best Indians in the area. Fresh food, friendly staff. The dosas are amazing!

Authentic Kerala Cuisine – A Must-Try! The highlight for me was the avoli Pollichathu. Customer service was excellent.feel like homely food. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed a casual night out here. The food and service were great. We had a dosa, beef and vegetable curry. All were the right level of spice for us and freshly cooked. We would recommend.

The food was the best Indian food I had in all the Indian restaurants I visited. The restaurant was warm, comfortable and clean. Though the tv was entertaining with awesome local recent Indian shows it was distracting. The decor of spices was beautifully appetising and appropriate. The owner was warmly welcoming and the food was served with a couple of mishaps (napkins and cutlery forgotten and people came after us were served before us) but overall the wait wasn’t long and the waiters were very polite and accommodating. £100 for a dinner for 3 was a little pricey but worth the quality of the delicious food and good service. I do recommend eating there.

Lovely food. Really enjoyed the meal.

Good ambiance and best service. Food is Awesome. Must try

Delicious food and lovely service!

Great food and atmosphere. Thanks to Jithin!

I love this place. It gives me homely vibes and the food is particularly amazing. One should definitely visit this place

The best around. Everything was amazing. Incredible food, impeccable service and decorated beautifully throughout. Highly recommend.

Our third visit to Red Chilliezs and as always the food was amazing! The menu offers a variety of delicious dishes including vegetarian dishes which I am gradually making my way through! The onion bhajis and spinach honey bites are highly recommended. The service is very good and we never feel rushed, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely for get togethers with friends, family or couples enjoying a nice meal with the best South Indian cuisine in the area. We will definitely be returning.

I love Red Chilliezs. The best South Indian food in Essex AND the best curry too. Hands down! The dosa are great. And the aubergine curry supreme. Brown rice too. Wow. Do try the vada. They're fantastic. The staff are wonderful, super helpful. We're going tonight, before a show at the Palace. The perfect way to start the evening. But we've been on Christmas Eve in the past. And many, many times. The best Indian food in Essex... by far

Love coming here. So friendly and welcoming. Plus great food for a vegan who loves spice and a non vegan who doesn't.

Great food, great service, great restaurant…love it 👍

Great Keralan curry house - thoroughly recommend. Thanks Jithin for great service.

Wonderful taste of one of my most favourite places in the world...top notch!!

First time here. Will definitely return. Jim and Nicky Alexander

Been here so many times before always brilliant service. Food is amazing. Definitely our favourite place xxxxxx

We really enjoyed our meal today. Delicious food (we had the masala dosa) and excellent service. We highly recommend this restaurant !

Located in Southendthis is a very good South Indian/ Indian restaurant. The quality of food is very good.

I highly recommend this restaurant for its exceptional dishes and welcoming hospitality. Al Faham Mandi is an absolute must-try!

Always loved the Red Chillies! The people there are so sweet and generous. Ambiance is cosy and the food is just as expected! Delightful 😀

We love this..most amazing authentic delicious food

10/10 lovely, friendly, food is delicious

My favourite place to eat locally, always great food ❤️ will be back

One of the best Indian meals I've had in the UK! I tried biriyani, palkappa and pothichoor. Everything was delicious and of excellent quality.

Amazing food and service , definitely our new favourite restaurant *****

You can get core authentic Kerala food here. 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just finished unplanned dinner night at Red Chillies restaurant at Westcliff and food was just amazing! Jiten here is best host n suggested chef’s special starter - Mushroom spinach n Grandma’s special chicken with kerala parotha in main which was simply delicious 🤤 ps - interiors is beautiful with cool ambience 🙂

Just had Christmas dinner here. We chose the salmon delight which was absolutely amazing. The sauce was incredible and eating here is just a fabulous experience. Everyone is really attentive, but without rushing you. It's no wonder it is such a popular restaurant.

Absolutely gorgeous food and So many Gluten free choices . Is my 2nd visit and definitely won't be last . Lovely little place with such beautiful southern flavours. Highly recommend it . And service is second to none .

Always delicious, authentic South Indian food with attentive and knowledgeable service. Their dishes are different and flavours fresh.

6 stars. Superb for meat eaters, vegetarian, and vegans. Really varied and freshly cooked. Best place in the area. Waiting staff awesome: we kept moving seats (to mix 14 people better not to annoy the staff!) but they remembered all of our orders. Really friendly place...can't wait to go back. Thanks for a great evening.

Good ambience , food and service

Good food and peacefull atmosphere

Authentic Kerala dishes. Especially, Angamaly fish curry was very good

My family, 5 of us had dinner on 15th December from Redchilliez. Every single dish served to us had the touch of love by the chef. I could feel the genuine team work led by Mr. Jaimon. We were lucky to witness a family celebrating Birthday of a 2 year kid. What caught my attention was Mr. Jaimon giving even for small things (which otherwise will go unnoticed. No wonder the restaurant was almost full. I will surely suggest Redchilliez to my near & dear without any hesitation and also will visit anytime I get an opportunity 👍. Thank you entire 'Team Redchilliez' for giving us an experience of authentic 'homely Indan food. John.

Relaxing atmosphere with Authentic South Indian food and lovely customer service 😊. Highly recommend!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Red Chilliez in Southend, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The food was absolutely delicious and authentic, with every dish packed with flavor. We ordered a variety of dishes: Malabar Biryani, Prawns 65, Kerala/Malabar parotta, Butter Chicken, and paysam/kheer – each one was a standout. The biryani was aromatic and flavorful, the prawns were perfectly cooked, and the parotta was light and flaky. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, and the paysam was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. A special thanks to Joemon (Owner) and Jithin who served us food, they were both incredibly welcoming and attentive. They even customized the spice levels for my 2-year-old daughter, ensuring the food was mild yet delicious. I also appreciated their weekend offers, which made everything so reasonably priced. Overall, Red Chilliez is definitely worth the visit, and I’ll be coming back for more! Highly recommended! If you have been looking for an authentic and delicious Kerala / Indian restaurant to dine near Southend, then look no further and head to Red Chilliez!

We recently used the catering services of Red Chillies in Southend for an event, and we were thoroughly impressed. The food was excellent, with each dish packed full of flavor and perfectly cooked. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed the variety and quality of the menu. The service was professional, punctual, and accommodating to our needs. We truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail that went into making our event a success.

Very nice food in a very nice restaurant..can't wait to go again. Love the breads. They had a special Christmas menu ... The salmon dish went down extremely well!

Great food freshly cooked very friendly staff authentic South Indian cuisine. We had vegetarian - great aubergine dish great lentil and spinach dish and lovely porotha bread

Fresh food, very welcoming atmosphere, they even make suggestions for you. I will be back. We had Staff Christmas party

The food I recently ordered from Red Chilli's was really good.The rice was nice and pleasant, and the chicken biriyani was delicious.Redchillis is something I do suggest.

Food was superb and the service great. Our server was so helpful and patient. Exceeded all our expectations.

Lovely, delicious authentic (I think) food. Attentive staff and nice atmosphere. Been here before and never disappoints.

Really authentic South Indian food. Beautiful flavours, freshness and just the perfect amount of hotness. Service was fantastic too.

a real gem authentic and adventurous tastes even masala tea was perfect Friendly staff, top notch

Really enjoyed the food, masala dosa and accompaniments was lovely. The chef specials winglets was exceptional. Service was great and the staff even catered for our little one and kept him entertained too. Some quiet background music would help with the atmosphere but it was early evening so must get more vibrant as it gets busier.

We had a good time at this restaurant with family and friends. We had a variety of south indian(kerala style) food. The chef special puliyinji chicken is a must try. The porotta, briyani is also good.

Stuck in Southend area on a Saturday evening waiting to collect daughter from a birthday dinner and looking for something to eat. Happened across Red Chilliezs and what a find. Great to have a proper South Indian meal rather than the usual English/Bangladeshi curry. Table for one and I couldn’t have felt more welcome. Delicious.

Had the most beautiful time celebrating Onam at Red Chilliezs a few months ago. You welcomed us like family and we’re so grateful. We will be back time and time again and next Onam too:) thank you very much. Food was the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted. What a gift :)

Amazing food and quality service. Great with kids

Really too bad. Chauttny was cold.

I prefer the Indian food up London it’s more authentic but this restaurant has it all authentic Indian food not Bangladeshi helpful staff reasonable prices Fantastic

We went for lunch which was our first visit - we were not disappointed Overall the food was excellent with good portion sizes. The curries were delicious but spicy which is what we prefer - well worth a trip to a restaurant serving authentic South Indian food

Highly recommended. Delicious food. Staff is very welcoming and nice. Overall great experience.

Really Great food, and great service. Loved everything.

We wanted to go there for a while. Service was good hence rated 5 star however it could be the spices were used that we are not used to, we didn't like the taste, it felt bitter and we are disappointed. the only good this was the Paratha. We felt it was pretty expensive too.

Absolutely love this restaurant! I love Indian and being gluten free, it's perfect! The food is sooo good! The best onion bhaji's I've ever had! You will not be disappointed!

I must say that I've rarely been so satisfied by a South Indian restaurant here in UK. South Indian restaurants seem to be popping up everywhere these days, and being a fan of South Indian cuisine, particularly Kerala food, I make it a point to visit the most of them. However, no one has captured the real flavor quite like this restaurant. I recently attended an Ona Sadhya at a Malayali association function, where this restaurant provided meals. I was honestly impressed by the quality of the cuisine; it felt exactly like having an Ona Sadhya at home in Kerala. I may not know who you are or where you're from, but this is now my first pick for organizing a party. Kudos to the management!

Came here for the first time last week with our friends who recommended it. Was wonderful, excellent service, lovely tasty food and now my favourite local indian, infact my husband is returning this weekend with friends as he also thoroughly enjoye it. Couldn;'t fault it so definately recommend. Thank you for a lovely time.

We had Red Chilliezs do catering for our wedding yesterday, the service when ordering was impeccable and the food was loved by all of our guests, will definitely be returning in the future. Best onion bhajis I’ve ever tasted, all guests were complimenting them!

Fantastic food, amazing flavours and such a different choice, not your run of the mill Indian restaurant! The staff have been so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly both times we have been, and their recommendations always hit the mark. Will be regulars back here for sure!

Beat south Indian food ! Thanks for the nice Onam 😀 See ya guys 👍

Once again, an amazing dinner. Highly recommended 👌 Fish curry, top of the menu 😋 ENJOY 😉

Love this place! If you have not tried South Indian food, this is the place to go. The food is exceptional, amazing spices and flavours. We try to have different dishes each time we go and always enjoy the variety of the menu. The team are great, always offering to make hot, medium or suggesting dishes to accompany your meal. Give this place a try and you will discover a whole new world of amazing Indian food!

The food is always superb, my favourite Indian in the area by a long way

One of the most best south Indian food in Essex. It was a first time visit , now I'm going to be a regular guest 🙃.. The food was delicious we even forgot yo take the photos..😇.. also the best team to serve..

The best keralan food in sunny Essex

Went to red chiliezs for a birthday meal....the food was really good and so was the service ...will definitely go back .

Red chillies had fantastic service and the food was great. We are a South Indian family so we can confirm the food was authentic!

Great service. Friendly customer service. Excellent food . Was able to adjust the dishes to our needs. Will highly recommend.

The owner and staff made a birthday celebration one to remember. The vegetarian selection was very tastey; the relatively small variety ensures the items are freshly prepared - none of the half prepared menus that may be found elsewhere or an apparently huge selection where most use the same base sauce. The staff were courteous and very accommodating to our needs. Off-menu variations were craeated at our request. Thank you to the management and staff of ReChilliezs. We hope to come again, again!

One of the nicest dining experiences we've had. A unique menu , excellent quality food. The most delicious homemade breads and desserts. Beautiful decor, lovely friendly staff, passionate about their traditional home cuisine. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing about Kerala and all the wonderful ingredients too Next visit from Wales, I'll be back. Thankyou.

Best dosa I’ve had outside of India

2nd visit. Equally impressive 👏

Best Indian restaurant by far. We've been going here for special occasions for years. A real treat for your taste pallete. Absolutely delicious food. My favourite drink is the mango lassi and the milk appams are divine if you have a sweet tooth.

One of the finest place I ever visited in UK, Had a Salmon Mango Fish curry was a wonderful Salmon curry I ever had. The staffs are very coperative amd helpful.

Delicious food. Had thalassery chicken biriyani and mango lussy. Biriyani rice is well cooked with enough masala, served with poppadom, raita and pickle.chicken pieces are fried enough. Mango lussy is fantastic, not thick with cardamom flavour. Not many rice varieties like dum biryani or fried rice etc . Good service from the owner and the staff. Affordable restaurant. Provides alcohol, wine etc. The menu is good looking and arranged well.

Amazing Keralan food. Lovely kind service. The fish was super fresh and perfectly cooked! I'll happily travel here from London for the appams and the fish curry.

The best fish masala ever and the prawn 65 was the best prawn in batter dish. Unbelievable taste. No need to travel so far to Eastham for Kerala dishes, this place is the ultimate. My family & I loved it with graceful hospitality. Also try the paratha, totally outstanding.

Fantastic Indian restaurant specialising in food from Kerala (Goa). Friendly staff, reasonable prices, outstanding food.

This is not standard Indian food. No generic bright red chicken Tikka massala here. Last night Jaimon recommended a fish dish called Neendakara men and Alleppey Kozhi mappas my fish dish was without doubt the most delicious Indian meal I have ever had. My wife and I can't wait to return.

Had to wait for our food once ordered, but we got in late and the wait was worth it. Veg Aviyal tasted so good, it was tough deciphering exactly what they were. The Lamb Piralan was tender and spiced perfectly. The parothas were fluffy and soft. The Fish Pepper Salt was crisp and full of flavour.

My first visit - but not my last... pictured are the deliciously light, non-greasy, tasty onion bhajis - to follow, I had coriander chicken, lemon rice and porotta... I dove straight in and was so delighted with my choices that I forgot to take a photo... we had a spinach and coconut dish to accompany it that paired well with my chicken, everything felt home-cooked fresh to order... I couldn't fault it and would highly recommend... was delighted to see carrot halwa on the dessert menu but was too full to try it this time round... it's a must next time as I have a feeling it won't disappoint!!

Good food and service highly recommended

Great service from the staff with a friendly atmosphere. Authentic, home-made food that will make you want to come back for more. Good value for money.

Best Indian in leigh and southend area in my view, based on beef edi irachi, which was perfect balance of spice and great depth, and prawns 65 - both starters. Service a little slow but never in a rush to turn covers

Authentic South Indian / Kerala restaurant in Leigh on Sea

Red Chilliezs is a special restaurant, amazing food and incredible people. We have been many times and enjoyed the food so much we asked Jaimon and his team if they would cater our wedding. 90+ guests were blown away with the incredible food they supplied, as well as the great service. They also were very accommodating with allergies within the party and made individual dishes to make sure everyone was well catered for. We’re so happy that Red Chilliezs were a part of our day, and will keep going back to relive all of those amazing dishes! Thank you.
