Red Chilliezs in Southend-on-Sea

From the ease of booking a table to the relaxed and simply delicious array of food we had, I highly recommend Red Chillezs.I booked the table online for 6 of us celebrating my husband's birthday. From the moment we arrived I could see we were in for a relaxing evening. There was a real sense of calm across the whole restaurant which for a Friday evening was surprising. Every dish tasted fresh and oh so flavoursome. From the onion bhaji that were the best I have ever eaten to the Pepper Salmon I had,which was served with a lemon rice and coconut sauce and was amazing. My husband had a lamb dish that was so tender and the bread...OMG I think I may have eaten a cloud! We will be back as the menu is varied but not overwhelming. The know what they are doing and they do it well!

I have never tasted and seen such a beautiful cuisine and never tried pomfret fish in my life and I rate it 10/10 thank you for the wonderful service and meal. Made our day:)

The best South Indian food anywhere.

Amazing service and very professional staff

amazing service and authentic food

Delicious food and a good variety of dishes, if you haven’t tried South Indian food before, head here!

Lovely experience, great authentic food and incredible service. Thanks to Jothin who served us on the day :)?

Every single dish is delicious, The service was excellent and friendly, highly recommended

Our favourite Indian restaurant by a long way.The food is so delicious and lovely staff. Can't understand why it's not full every night. Highly recommended

Me and my partner’s first ever date was here, from that day onwards this has become our favourite place to eat in and pomfret polllichath with porotta/appam has been our default choice. I cant stress enough to praise the owner, Jomon chettan and the lovely staff, who is always welcoming and smiling. Thanks and kuddoss to the team.

Nice Indian restaurant. Most of kerala foods available

Authentic Kerala cuisine in traditional style, great food and service. Probably the best food we have had in a long time. Highly recommend!

Came here to have a dinner with my family.the food was great and the service was nice too defensive must try spot and would recommend yo everyone.

Great meal. Catered very well for gluten free diet. Will keep coming!

Fab service! Food was delish. Would definitely recommend to a friend ⭐️

Delicious food and friendly staff.

Fantastic and friendly service and food was absolutely delicious. Always happy to return

Great food as always, the best Indian food we have tasted, very authentic for Southern India.

Can't rate this lovely restaurant highly enough. Thursday early lunchtime, very quiet, but to be expected. My daughter and I are both vegan and to have such a wide choice of superbly cooked food was a real treat. And very reasonably priced, with great, attentive service. Definitely now my top, favourite Indian.

Amazing place Really nice and welcoming staff, food was absolutely delicious, generous portions and value for money. Authentic taste of Kerala. Manager coming to talk to us shows care and good conversation. Keep.up the amazing work

We had pleasure to celebrate my daughter’s birthday at Red Chilliezs…. As the table was arranged for us with Decorations my daughter was so happy❤️ …. and the service by the team was absolutely professional now, talking about food…. It’s so amazing and so delicious which cannot be expressed by words, it can only be felt by tasting it at the Restaurant.. we did not feel as we missed our home food..

Our first time trying this restaurant and we can’t believe we have waited so long given how local we are… THE best Indian meal we have had out in a long time! Delicious and fresh we will most certainly be back thank you so much!

The food is amazing with very great flavours. Not your usual spicy Indian curry but way better than that

Amazing food!! Loved the flavors. Best Indian food in the town. Worth visiting.

Best Indian meal we have had for a long time. Succulent meat, fresh, fragrant, great hospitality - will come again.

Amazing food , amazing service and amazing quality. We have been coming here for years now and this is our favourite place to taste and enjoy the authentic flavours of Kerala . Must try ❤️

Truly a hidden gem in Southend. The flavours take you back to South India. Malabar parotta just melts in ur mouth, keralan stew and Malabar Chicken biryani was just exquisite. Great service and lovely ambience. The staff go the extra mile to make sure the food and the service are top notch.

As always, delicious authentic South Indian food.

Food is good, and place is nice but but expensive

Food and service was amazing. Highly recommended 😊

I have Coeliac disease, and I was so looked after here. Nothing was too much trouble. Dishes were cooked separately and they were very knowledgeable about having to have gluten free food. I really appreciated the effort made to ensure I ate safely

Superb quality food and great service.. highly recommended for authentic South Indian (Kerala) food ..

Great food and top service...highly recommended for authentic Kerala food as well :)

Delicious food and lovely service!

The food was amazing, the service was exceptional. We were a large party of 12 for my sons 18th birthday, the service was swift, friendly and attentive, the food very well presented, and exceptional quality and taste. Wonderful authentic Indian food

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...

Amazing food great service reasonable prices. Definitely recommend

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

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

Great food and atmosphere. Thanks to Jithin!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 food and peacefull atmosphere

Good ambience , food and service

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
