The inside had enough seating for people and service was good. Although I think our server could have paid a bit more attention to us in terms of refilling our water. But it is a fairly chill atmosphere inside. We got the Gobi 65, Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Mango Lassi. The Gobi 65 at mild spice still had a slight kick to it, but it was very flavorful! I really enjoyed it. The Chicken Tikka Masala tasted very buttery and not as spicy as I wanted it to be (asked for medium spice), so it makes me wonder if they accidentally gave me the wrong dish... like Butter Chicken? Otherwise, it was alright. Lots of bell peppers inside the dish and the chicken was cut into small pieces. The Garlic Naan was super garlicky which I loved and tasted great being dipped in the Chicken Tikka Masala. For the Mango Lassi, it came pre-packaged in this small bottle. It tasted fine, but not as sweet as I wanted it to be. My friend liked the Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani, which came in a massive bowl. Overall, I enjoyed the food here. Although I kind of want to get the Chicken Tikka Masala again and see if it tastes less buttery and more spicy next time. I would come back to try the other items on the menu!

The owner frequented our table after to make sure everything' was good and we enjoyed it, always love that. Means they genuinely love their place. The place was busy after we got there and had a lot of take out going . We went with a few different dishes. They have plenty of choices for vegetarian and meat eaters. Also have a full bar, beer, wine and cocktails. The vegetable Manchurian was nice and hot in temperature. Nice spice level too. Lots of veggies in the wonderful sauce. Yum. I had the chicken vindaloo which is my go to . Extra hot and served with basmati rice this had a great spicy sauce and plenty of chicken and potatoes in it. Definitely could share it or have another meal . The garlic naan was really good and fluffy and came straight from the tandoor hot. Also had the chicken tikka masala on the table. Mild spice level and good amount of spice and I love the color of everything. Food took awhile to come out but it's worth it. The owner also sent us over a plate of a spongy chick peas flour savory cake off the menu . Super nice ! Fluffy spicy cake . Delicious and so nice of him! I've had this at home before but this was a nice version of it. Had a great dinner here. Always nice to discover a new Indian away from home. They seem to have the business down pat.

When we moved to Charlotte I searched Yelp and bookmarked the three or four Indian restaurants that looked most promising. It's taken us a while to make our way up to Red Chillez because it's a little over 40 minutes drive from us, but we're glad we finally did - it's our favorite place that we've found here yet. We got the lamb vindaloo, lamb Rogan Josh, order of naan and rice, onion pakora, and samosas. The lamb was tender, and the flavor was great. The vindaloo was flavorful with a balanced heat, not just kick-your-teeth-in heat with no flavor. Service was friendly. The inside of the restaurant was casual, not a super fancy buildout, but clean and taken care of. We'll definitely be back - worth the drive.

However, since they are now a takeout-only restaurant, they really need to stop cheaping out on packaging!!! The flimsy cardboard containers they use for their most popular dishes, like the Chicken Tikka Masala, have lids that are extremely clumsy to take off and tighten due to the heat trapped inside. They practically explode when opened. I was sitting down to enjoy my dinner, but ended up having to emergency do laundry instead... The lid sprayed my shirt with a huge splatter of sauce as it opened.

But the mutton dum biryani from this restaurant happens to be hands down, the best one I have tasted outside of Hyderabad, India. Coupled with mirchi ka salan that gives you the authentic notes of what only few handpicked chefs in hyderabad could achieve. The taste of the biryani is consistent (I ordered same dish over 10 times now). It is not too spicy, which is good because it does not dominate the inherent flavor of the biryani. The mutton is cooked so well, that the pieces separate out even with gentle pressure. This is one dish that can truly take you back in time (and place). My review is for mutton biryani in specific. Other items are good to great but this item is truly exceptional. Other items we order frequently: mirchi bajji, kebab platter, chicken 65, chicken biryani, goat sukka, kubani ka meeta, double ka meeta.
