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.

Good ambience , food and service

Good food and peacefull atmosphere

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Really Great food, and great service. Loved everything.

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!

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.

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 .

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

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

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Good experience Nice food and service We can taste real kerala food 😋

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

Loved the food. Definitely recommend

Been there last night! Excellent food and great service! Very pocket friendly!

Food was amazing, All the dishes we ordered was so tasty, Great Hospitality, Real taste of kerala dishes comparing to other overhyped restaurants in London.

Such delicious food I have had from Red Chilliezs I have no words to express This is the best South Indian restaurant in the UK(according to me). I had thalasserry biriyani and porotta and beef curry.Each and every simple thing was provided was so yummy🤤 (including the salad and pickle).we went after 10 pm, but all the staffs were very good. Last time, I took the food take away. I wish I could come again to the restaurant and have the food.(All the way from Horley). This is the first time I am writing review Thank you so much for such a wonderful food You are really amazing

Chose this place for a date, and the food was excellent. When ordering, we were not rushed and questions about the menu were explained in a friendly and enthusiastic manner. The dishes were tailored in terms of chilli level, from a scale of 1-10, I went with the 10, and it didn't disappoint. It was packing a lot of quality heat. Every item we ordered was of high quality. The masala chai was lovely. Looking forward to my next visit and ordering a 12/10 chilli dish 😅- though I may order it with some ice cream 😀. An excellent find, highly recommended!

Fish curry with appam and Parrota very good taste Must try it ... 👍

We ate here before we went to the palace theatre wow what amazing food!! We love Indian food and this was really nice to have authentic Indian food. Especially loved the side dish of spinach with coconut so different and tasty! Service excellent and good at explaining dishes, wasn’t busy we went early and on a Wednesday night. If you like Indian food you’ll love it here!

As a family we only eat fish & we are normally limited but here we had soo much choice & but just the usual options. The owner talked us through the differences & flavours etc. amazing food We will definitely be going back soon

Fantastic service and amazing food . I highly recommend a visit

Beautiful food and attentive service

Really good and authentic Kerala Taste food.

The staff are attentive and food tasted fresh and delicious.

Awesome Indian Food. Had a short visit to Southend and stumbled upon this restaurant. Authentic taste, good South Indian spread and courteous owner.. one of the best Kerala restaurants I have tasted in UK…

My husband loves Indian food, I have become a bit bored of it all. Went out under sufferance and because it was a different menu. I had the gobi cauliflower to start which is lovely, then I had the chicken biryani with the paratha, it is the best biryani I have ever had and the best bread, it had spice and so much flavour and was also really light. Absolutely delicious and I will definitely return again. The only thing that would make it better would be linen napkins rather than paper.

Loved it here. The owner is really passionate about the food. The food was stunning. You won’t find your usual menu items here but go there willing to be guided.

Absolutely delicious food , atmosphere, really calm , service 💯 , I definitely go there again, and the potions are quite big , money well spent , and mot of all price range very reasonable, I highly recommend it 😀

Superb food and service. It's such a rarity to find a restaurant that does great food, let alone one with equally good service! Their dosa is the best I've tasted, and I look forward to coming back for more. Thank you!

What a delicious find. The food here is 10/10. Visiting family for Christmas we were looking for an authentic South Indian meal as a break from the leftovers and are glad that we did. We were welcomed with handshakes and brought into Red Chilliezs by the owner who was very helpful and suggested dishes he thought we would like. We ordered poppadoms and chutneys, 2 starters, 3 mains and two sides which was enough for the three of us. The Lamb Dosa was particularly good as was the Coriander Chicken. My only suggestion for an improvement would be to dim / soften the lighting which was a little too bright and white - would be better to have warmer yellow lightbulbs to improve the ambiance.

Dead but time of year. Absolutely stunning munch

We've been there today for our Christmas Dinner, and the seasonal menu was delicious and amazing value.

There are very few options for Indian restaurants in Southend, and this one is good. It was delicious and tasted authentic kerela style.

Really delicious kerala food with authentic taste of kerala spices. Highly recommendable. We are really satisfied. Will come again for sure. Gonna suggest to our friends.

The food was amazing, the spiciness and the flavours were on point. Highly recommended if you are in the area or if you make a trip just for the food, you will not be disappointed.

Very fresh food. Great choices for vegans

Best food I’ve had outside of India. Staff are super friendly and helpful and the food is incredible. Would recommend 100%

Excellent Service & Tasty food. Went with family for dinner & enjoyed the South Indian taste. Had appam, chicken curry & many more all were tasty. Parking is free after 5 pm. Thank you Red chillies. We will be back.

The food here is not your standard Indian as it is keralan. Food was so good we're going back Christmas day for dinner.

Yesterday's dining experience at Redchilliezes last night was a delight, and they live up to my expectations each time I visit RedChilliezs. I had to share the love! 😍 Food - We are ten, and 🍽️ Each dish was an absolute masterpiece. The flavours were spot on. I couldn't get enough of their Veg Khorma, Ghobi 65, Coriander chicken, Fish and Rice! Pure bliss! 😋 The RedChilliezs, their Chef, Martin and the entire team deserve a shoutout. I will look forward to my next stop at RedChilliezs again.

The best South Indian food we had since we came to UK. Very welcoming staffs. Worth bringing my family to here.

The food here is on another level. Cooked to perfection, so very tasty. Friendly staff and the restaurant is always busy with a good atmosphere.

Good south Indian food...especially kerala food

5 of us had vegan food and every mouthful was delicious. Excellent, clean cooking, gracefully served in comfortable surroundings. We would highly recommend, thank you Red Chilliez!

Had the Onam sadhya and it was delicious. Worth every penny! Highly recommended!

Online food order for Travamcore mutton curry, chicken biryani chapati. Over all food was excellent with regards to available resources. First time enjoyed the curry flavors and tenderness of meat in.curry out here in Southend. Biryani was good and was well garnished was surprised to find juicy chciken thighs In it. Keep it on...best wishes

Very nice southern Indian restaurant! Lovely staff, service and atmosphere and the food is exquisite. Chicken Mappa was my choice and exceptional - highly recommended!

An amazing, authentic South Indian restaurant. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian or a meat eater, there's something delicious for you!

Amazing food, friendly staff. THE KERALA PARATHA & DUCK MAPPAS were to die for.
