The Chilli Tree in Rother

fantastic flavoursome food and always a little extra included

Chilli Tree is an absolute gem! I visited for a friend’s birthday, and the whole experience was wonderful. The staff were warm and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was outstanding - flavorful, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable, offering great value for such high-quality food. Thankyou Sala! I will 100% be coming back again.

We have just come back from a birthday meal at the Chilli Tree, the second time I've been. We had the most delicious food, all served by the loveliest manager, who is so polite and very customer focused. It didn't disappoint. Plus they even made me a surprise birthday cake. We had so much food, and only cost £20 a head!! This place is amazing X

Lovely food and service. Get lots for your money.

Best Indian food in Bexhill, amazing as normal thank you!

Great food. Generous portions. Superb delivery

Outstanding food delivered in the window we were advised. Will visit the restaurant on our next trip to Bexhill.

As usual it was pretty tasty thanks

Really lovely food and good value

The best of the best. You won’t get better than this! Always looks after us and always beautiful food. Thank you! :)

I asked for a time as I work. No garlic mushrooms, but rest ok

Superb quality food delivered fresh and hot. Prepared with care and pride, you will not find better Indian food in the Bexhill area.

The food was piping hot and delicious! First time I have ordered from this restaurant - usually go to the shiplu but with the fantastic reviews I thought I would try somewhere different. Didn’t disappoint!

Back on another weekend break and we have to make a return visit to the chilli tree a priority. No surprises this time, as expected a very warm and friendly welcome, excellent food and service levels from all the staff and especially the owner. Will be back

Speedy delivery, Excellent food always.

Chilli Tree is my go to in Bexhill..Always hot when delivered, Great flavors, never any leftovers in our house. Thanks Chilli Tree..

Really delicious food and great service from the owner who is an absolute Gentleman. Well worth a visit as the food is excellent, it’s great value for money and you can bring your own wine too!

Great food as always! Thanks Sala! 👍🏻

Excellent food , great value fo money , Sahlas a one of a kind host 5*

Thank you so much. The flavours set our taste buds alight! What a feast. Just second time of ordering but the food is so delicious, colourful and exciting. Thank you too for the extras. Absolutely amazing food.

Wonderful tasty food ! Ordered twice in a week because it was so nice . Friendly and helpful on phone also . Highly recommend

Thank you Sala and team! The food was excellent, especially with the extras for which we thank you.

I absolutely love this place service was amazing, definitely would recommend, parata was so good and tika misarla was spot on ,chicken was so soft ,and shout out to Sala aka John you are amazing 😂

Had a really crappy week and had a Thursday pick me up with a takeaway - to our surprise we had a call from the owner as he wanted to clarify our order. He said he would chuck some poppadoms, bhajis (insane!) and sag also into our order and honestly it made our week and really completed the meal. Beautiful as always and a beautiful balance of spices. Thank you!

Always generous with their portions, I can't begin to say how much I enjoy the food from the chilli tree.

After hearing only amazing things about Chilli Tree we finally placed an order for a takeaway ordering some of our favourites and a few new dishes for us. After placing our order on a Monday evening and waiting over an hour, our meal finally arrived. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from here. It’s hard to explain how a meal can be so truly terrible but every single bite was just awful. The mixed kebab starter had meat so chewy it was more like a dog toy than meat, if you ever want to turn vegetarian please order this dish…. It’ll turn you away forever. The lamb garlic curry was brimming with oil but stunningly had almost no flavour and contained meat to chewy that to even attempt to swallow would be a chocking hazard. Everything from the undercooked bread, poor quality meat, under-seasoned an tasteless potatoes basically ended up being so utterly revolting that the meal was, for the first time ever, just a total write-off. Maybe it’s just the hype or very high expectations. If you are yet to try it, if the run down exterior is putting you off…. Listen to your gut, it will thank you later!

Amazingly good food, really fresh and flavoursome. Beautifully cooked. Sal is an exceptional host, explaining the dishes, and suggesting ones to try. This is definitely my go to for Indian cuisine. Highly recommend.

We ordered a takeaway on Thursday night for 2 people and we were not dissapointed. The quality of the food was amazing. We were also given extra portions of different dishes to try. Fantastic service and would always recommend!

Food, service, atmosphere was all 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! They even encourage you to take home what you can't eat and provide you with the takeaway containers. A very positive dining out experience. Well worth a visit.

Spoiled again by Saleh, the Manager! Beautiful food and given extras. Bonus is it's 'bring your own alcohol'. Looking forward to our next visit. Booked for Christmas Day....again!

For those of you who are looking to lose weight fast, get yourself to chilli tree. This is because once you’ve had a mouthful of their fine food, you will be spending the next 4 hours on the toilet.

Amazing food, we really enjoyed our meal! We were also given some extra dishes, which was very thoughtful. 100% recommend and will use again

The food in here is second to none. The owner will bend over backwards to make your party a good experience. And if you ask him to do something special for you ( me ) he always comes up with the food to be happy with.

My food was delicious and really good portions it arrived within half an hour of ordering with some very appreciated extras thrown in ☺️ I’m totally sold , chilli tree is my new go to Excellent food and excellent service!!

Another fantastic visit to our place to go. Went for a birthday meal with friends and as always Salah was lovely and really takes the time to suss out what you like and comes up with the most amazing food. Delicious every time. A bonus that you can bring your own alcohol too. He even went out of his way to make some lovely food on the house for our dear friend who couldn’t join us due to being in an accident!!! Who does that?!!! Lovely man, fabulous restaurant Thanks Salah xx

The Chilli Tree is so welcoming, lovely atmosphere and delicious food at very reasonable prices.

Great to find a restaurant where you can take your own alcoholic drinks! Tasty food and friendly front of house

The food is excellent and plentiful. The owner is always friendly and really cares about his business and customers. We’re always made to feel welcome. His food delivery service is the best we know of, in terms of the quality and quantity.

First time ordering from here. Food was excellent 👍great quality, taste & great portion size. Came with extras not ordered, such a nice surprise! Most definitely order from here again without hesitation! After trying others this is now mine & the family's favourite!

Just wow! Without a doubt the best takeaway you can get. It’s like getting a lovingly made meal, that’s been cooked especially for you, when you order here. The owner is lovely and the food is consistently 10/10. Thank you so much for our delicious extras!

Absolutely fantastic evening. The food was delicious and they gave us extra dishes plus a birthday cake for my friend which was above and beyond which was expected. I highly recommend going here. The staff were totally amazing. We will definitely be going back again and can recommend them to others

What a fantastic night. Amazing food and service. 8 of us ate in and we had an absolute feast with lots of new things prepared for us to try. The owner was brilliant chatting to us and asking our preferences and preparing food to our taste. No extra charge for things he wanted us to try. It was a fantastic way to celebrate my birthday along with the cake and wine from the restaurant. Thank you ❤️

The food was hot and delicious, I can't ask any more

Always amazing food! Our go too for Indian!

Great food, on time. Thank you for the bonus dish too 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent food. Really great value and friendly staff.

Firstly. Great approach from the staff when I phoned. Gave everything we ordered and more. Secondly. Great delivery and fast which was unexpected. Thirdly. Food was amazing. Every dish was delicious and had its own flavour. Really lovely food. Highly recommended

Ordered online via deliverychef only have have my order cancelled 10 minutes before it arrived when I called you you were rude and told me it wasnt your fault as your dont deliver to my address even though you website said you do. Won't bother again.

its all fine no big deal just the first time as they are normally very quick

Great food & Service as always 👍

Great food & Service as always 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delivered on time, tasty dishes and considerable amount of free food added into the bag. Rare to see freebies these days. Thank you very much 😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great food as always

My family and I love this place. Always great food and flavours! The perfect meal to order out for football, or a treat to dine in!

It was really great, food was great, the host was super friendly and helpful. We tried many dishes and even got a few extra we weren't expecting, so generous .Great night out :)

We have eaten at this restaurant before and all I can say is absolutely amazing flavours and the extras sent with our order much appreciated thanks chilli tree

We have used The Chilli Tree a few times for take away meals and have eaten in. The food is amazing, absolutely delicious and the owner cannot do enough for you. Highly recommend, won't go anywhere else for Indian cuisine now 😊

The owner is so lovely and welcoming, everytime we see him he makes time to speak to us and make sure everything is perfect. The food is so good and great for the price! Definitely our favourite Indian :))

Absolut pleasure ! Always comes on time or early, food is very tasty! Will order again! 100%

Excellent food, excellent service and a thoroughly great time was had by all. Salah really does know how to make you feel welcome. If you find yourself in Bexhill you really must go - you won't be disappointed!

Lamb very nicely cooked and extras was a pleasant surprise, many thanks A+++

We come here a lot and are never disappointed. Salah is a wonderful host who is highly accomodating and will always have a lovley chat with. Food is just amazing and the variety of dishes is vast. We've been working our way though the menu!

Stopping at a local caravan site just outside Bexhill, delivery was still available. A quick call from the restaurant and a pickup from the front gate was agreed. When the food arrived the driver delivered straight to us. The food was delicious and still piping hot. To our surprise we had a lot of things included which were complimentary including Bombay aloo and onion bhaji’s. Our party of 6 all commented on how nice the food was and would highly recommend a meal from the chilli tree.

In google It’s shows open untill 11:00pm but we came 9:00 pm they said it closed please correct the timings when you close early

really enjoyed it. A very tasty and generous meal

Absolutely love coming here, i’ve been in to eat as well as ordering to take away. The owner is so lovely and all the staff are so welcoming. Food is always hot (temp) even when ordering delivery. Recommend to everyone asking about indian takeaway because it’s the best i’ve been to

Got a takeaway from here. Great food very flavourful and arrived fast all food was hot.

Great place to eat and chill out. Service is excellent.

The Chilli Trees dishes are delightfully succulent. Obviously handmade, not bought in bulk, readymade like so many other restaurants must do, in order to taste so similar. Simply put I am always happy to order from The Chilli Tree.

We had a takeaway this evening, absolutely fantastic food. Piping hot, Salah remembered I love Bombay potato. I didn’t ask request but I got container full of it, was so good. Thank you for an amazing meal and great service. Will definitely, as always, use again 😃 I will also say his delivery driver was out delivering so he took himself out the restaurant to deliver to me. Thanks Salah.

This guy is amazing. He's a real personality and he loves entertaining his guests. He's also passionate about his food and I can honestly say this is one of the best curry houses i've eaten in for a very long time. He's not charging the right prices for the quality of the food - so get in quick before he realises he should double the prices!

Amazing place to eat, love it every time. Been again recently and literally can't fault the place, really nice service and food as always tastes spot on.

Had a takeaway and wow! Fantastic food. The owner was fantastic as I don't like very spicy food so he tweaked the vegetable curry that came with the biriyani so I could eat it. Couldn't do enough to make me happy. Thank you

What a great find, down here for a few days and fancied a curry. Was welcomed by the owner and treated to a fabulous couple of hours eating a delicious meal. The owner was so attentive and brought us two starters on the house, things we wouldn’t normally order but will in future. Was so stuffed had to have a doggy bag. No alcohol is served but you can take your own. Best wishes from the couple from Portsmouth.

Amazing meal thank you so much

Excellent food definitely will re order and recommend

Had a lovely time at chilly tree with family and definitely a good chilly and garlic curry highly recommended 👌 from shala him self 😀 see u again soon Grate food Grate place Grate atmosphere and fabulous customer service 👌 10/10 by far the best Indian in bexhill

Had a fantastic meal out here, everything was delicious and the manager is very accommodating and so generous which was very much appreciated!!! Truly a hidden gem!! We will definitely return as soon as possible!

Fantastic evening for a friend’s birthday celebration. Huge choice of food which is always gorgeous and plenty of it. Salah usually recommends something yummy and really tries to find out what you like. He is the perfect host and nothing is ever too much trouble. It’s become our regular place to go now and we can bring our own drinks which is fabulous. I’d recommend Chilli Tree 100%!

Food was amazing and plentiful!!! The Owner is very passionate and such a lovely guy. Would highly recommend this place.

Hi, It’s Pat from Delaware (East coast of the US). We are here staying in their flat with our friends, C and G. C grew up in Bexhill (and attended Sunday School in this very building when it was still a church!). Before learning about Chilli Tree we previously had gone to Mowgli on the oceanfront where we were largely ignored throughout the meal (to be fair they had a very large group in the back room to attend). Though the food was okay it was pricey. While looking for a restaurant for my birthday dinner I read reviews on the seven Indian/Asian restaurants in and near Bexhill, and found on balance the greatest praise and positive comments about Chilli Tree and Sal, the owner. We came prepared for his attentive, joking manner, and had a delightful back and forth across a wide spectrum of topics. The food was plentiful, along with a number of free sides. All the dishes were mild at our request due to the palate of one of our party. A Chicken Grill dish (also free) was tender and delicious! Lamb balti, garlic mushroom, chole masala, lamb saagwala all had nice flavor (though the lamb was a bit chewy), and the rice was light and flavorful. Each dish was prepared well, though we did find the Chicken Kurma was very sweet (we are much more used to a savory Kurma back home). Many restaurateurs tend to be personable as it is in their best interest to engage with their customers. Sal is super-attentive, yet does so with aplomb and a good-natured repartee! Chilli Tree will be on our schedule for our return trips to Bexhill !! Thanks Saleh for helping to make my birthday special.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Great food as always 👍

Absolutely fabulous! The most delicious food and such a warm friendly service. Such a lovely guy. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be going back soon. 10/10!

Best curry I have had in years, delicious, flavourful and full of new flavours and blends

We were a party of 9 work friends and I would recommend this restaurant. We went for an evening meal and found friendly attentive service from the owner whose name I'm afraid I don't know. He gave us several extra dishes for free. We took our own drinks as they do not service alcohol. The food was delicious, hot and cooked to perfection. There is a small car park on-site.

This restaurant is amazing. The owner and staff are very welcoming on arrival. The food is absolutely delicious. The owner also gave extra dishes for free. There was so much we couldn’t eat it all. As 9 guests we all got the right meal that we had ordered and it was all piping hot. We all took our own alcohol and the restaurant provided us with glasses and ice. They do sell soft drinks there if you want too. We just took our own. Desserts were delicious too. The owner is funny and ready to meet your needs. The quality of the food was 5* and we will all definitely be returning. The prices are also very good. Excellent place to eat. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely and thanks for the freebies, what a quality restaurant and service A++++

Best Indian takeaway ever. provides excellent cuisine every time. Been placing orders with them for more than three years.

Wow! Absolutely yummy. Chicken melted in your mouth. The lamb was soooo Tender. Definitely recommended

Excellent food, always given extas when you order a takeaway, best around.

Super curry ! Would get food from here every day !

Used the Chilli tree for the first time this week getting a takeaway. Lovely food and the service was second to none. Really friendly and would recommend. Planning on heading there for a sit in meal soon

I have been abroad for nearly a year and came home briefly for Christmas. The Chilli Tree has been my favourite Indian restaurant since I was a teenager, and I had been craving a chicken bhuna for a good part of the year. So I asked my parents if we could order an Indian takeaway the day before I flew back abroad. It was so delicious! I'm sorry we couldn't come in to eat, but I would love to when I'm back. Till next year!

Amazing food and wonderful owner. A perfect home place for a friendly night with great food.

Unfortunately the food was tasteless the cauliflower bhaji, onion bhaji and the nan as it arrived early was very hot . The madras had a load of small cherry tomatoes in it which was very odd. Probably won’t order again from them.

This restaurant is by far the best.... After having to cancel my birthday meal for 6 of us for my birthday due to the stromey weather last week only 2 of us could go. We had to go through the kitchen cos the owner was stuck in Kent, but the staff were very accommodating and apologetic. The food was still the best. The next morning the manager phones me to offer myself and friends a free meal ( where else would you get that service? ) We went back tonight and could not be happier with the service, food and company. This restaurant and staff come very highly recommend from me. Thank you salah for your hospitality and generosity.

1st time at the chilli tree, great food great service. Definitely will be back🙂

Excellent food, with a free main too.

Great night out, good food and good service will go again

The food at the Chilli Tree is just incredible and plenty of it too! The service is fantastic, front of house could not make you feel more welcome. There are clearly a good number of regulars - if I lived closer I fear I may be one!
