So happy the original owners are back! The food is just as incredible as I remember from years ago...rich, flavorful, and truly authentic. Every dish brought back that same comfort and quality that made me fall in love with this place in the first place. If you've been missing real Indian and Indonesian flavors, this is it! read more

THEY''RE BACK!!!!! For the longest time, this was my gold standard. The absolute best Indian plus Thai, Hakka Chinese, and Tibetan. The original owners left, new ownership let the quality slip hard, but now THEY ARE BACK!! The food is amazing like it was years ago. True fusion, absolutely fantastic. I am so happy that my favorite place is to its glory. If you remember how great the food was, its back and better than ever. Come back and give a big hug to our favorite owners. read more

I used to come to this restaurant all the time. It was a real gem. Then the owners changed and the quality dropped so I stopped going. I went back today to order takeout because they had a sign that said original management is back. Not true! The nan I got was completely burnt black on the bottom and the biryani was just awful. The chicken is stale and the driest I have ever tasted. The chicken tikka masala is not any better. How can the dish be so saucy but so dry at the same time? Won't be returning ever again. read more

Chili & Curry - Chicken Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

Delicious food and great service! We love to go to this restaurant and it's one of our faves.

One star off for street parking experience we had to cross the street and it was really sketchy. Also inside had a funky smell and was literally a house converted to a restaurant. It was pretty small and cramped. There was no music until half way thru our meal when I guess important guests arrived.. also the food was mid It was all under seasoned, watery I ordered the coconut fish curry - they do not know how to cook fish it still taste a little fishy The chicken curry was not that great either - too spicy but not pleasant The aloo ghobi tasted like boiled veggies Mango lassi too sweet Garlic naan was good I have always gone to Diwan and the food and service and parking situation all was not as good as Diwan. Overall tasted bland and since I am dealing with a stomach issue worked for me. Don't think I'll be back unless I'm sick and want to experience some mild bland Indian food. read more

I only have gotten takeouts from this place. The place is busy every time I was there, so I had to wait for a while for my food. But it's so worth the wait! The Indian dishes (the only things I went for although they offer Chinese and Thai too) are always great and priced very reasonably. Although I didn't eat there, I can see the staff being very attentive to their customers. Frankly the place is quite outdated but it's kept clean. I imagine patron still go for the diverse menu and qualities of food and services. read more

ATTENTION: To you veteran patrons of New Chili & Curry "THE ORIGINAL OWNERS ARE BACK." My first visit to New Chill dates back 15 years, for countless years my family and I enjoyed 5 Star Indian/Thai fusion where the menu offers over 100 food items, each cooked to perfection. It seems after Covid the ownership/management changed hands, it was not the same. Well the original Allstar team is back and tonight's dinner did not disappoint. The menu is the same and we ordered our favorites, it felt like we went back in time. So for those of you who have lost faith, consider faith no longer lost. read more

I'm actually not new to Chili & Curry, I discovered this spot back in 2017, but I realized I should give this restaurant the positive Yelp review it deserves! I happily dined there again last night, there is just something soothing about Indian cuisine come autumn, and our dinner was definitely one to remember. We shared the Chicken Makhani entree (butter chicken), along with Lamb Rogan Josh and the Tandoori Mixed Grill. The curries were SO soothing (there I go again with the 'soothing' descriptor, LOL), and the Tandoori Mixed Grill had tender pieces of Tandoori chicken, shrimp, and chicken/malai kebabs that were truly delicious! Of course, once you mix it all together with their classic rice, it becomes a really hearty, and comforting, fall dinner. I also must mention the ambiance of Chili and Curry as well; the warm lighting, the traditional aesthetic, and the coziness of the small restaurant is perfect for the colder seasons. (And the staff is kind and accommodating, too!) If you are craving Indian/Indo-Chinese cuisine (their Schezuan Shrimp is another must-have), then absolutely pay this place a visit! read more

Came here last weekend with my SILs - no better way to warm up on a cold January night than with some yummy Indian + fusion food! I ordered a lychee juice (yum!) which was so refreshing. We also ordered the vegetarian platter app (comes with samosas, and some other delicious treats) and the naan basket. You don't want to pass up on the naan! You can tell that it is homemade and it is fresh and delicious. The garlic naan definitely has some kick so if you're here on a date you might want to have a mint handy after. For my main, I ordered the Szechuan eggplant dish which was very unique and flavorful. The wonderful thing about Indian cuisine is that it is very vegan and vegetarian friendly (yay!) our dishes came with a large basmati rice to share with the table which was plenty, and we still had some left over. The eggplant was fried and came in a rich seasoning. I opted for medium spicy but they will make it to your heat preferences. Service was friendly enough - we waited a bit to order or to have someone come to our table. The inside is warm and cozy. Definitely looking forward to coming again soon, it had been way too long! There is a parking lot around back for your convenience. read more

Eat here pretty often. It's consistently good. Reasonable pricing. Def get the bread basket

The Malai kebab and Chicken tikka masala were amazing. Malai kebab was so juicy and tender .... I'm still craving it!!!! It came out sizzling and it was delicious. This is a cute little spot with amazing dishes. Nothing fancy, but food is great! read more

So happy we found out that the original owners are back as this was our favorite spot! Everything about this restaurant is great. The food is amazing & it always feels like you're being welcomed into their home. read more

The food is pretty good to the authenticity of flavor. The restaurant has staff from Nepal so they do MoMo's which are pretty good. It's worth a try if you're wanting to have Indian food. Enjoy! read more

Really 4 stars for food but waited 50 minutes for entrees on a Saturday night where they barely kept the heat going. Food is halal and servers are attentive and kind but with the takeout orders the kitchen is overwhelmed. There are also things on the menu that aren't available. Chilli garlic noodles are great! Ginger chicken was more bland. Our friends recommended this spot but I don't like waiting. I love indo-Asian fusion food, would love to see this restaurant improve on food timing and clean up the menu as needed. read more

I've been hearing about Chili and Curry for a very very, very long time. I finally got a chance to meet a friend there for dinner and it was a great experience. The decor and set up inside is absolutely beautiful. We sat at a table towards the back of the restaurant, and a server came to us right away. After putting in an order of appetizers was included the papaya salad and the crispy chicken with dry chilis we decided to look over the menu again for dinner. We had to get the butter chicken and I really wanted to try the spinach paneer to dip my garlic naan in it. The food came out very quickly, hot and delicious! The service was impeccable, and I was given ample time to eat and catch up with my friend. Not letting it go a very long time before visiting this spot again as it is some of the best Indian food I've had in a very long time. read more

This is one of my fave places to eat in this area with family! We have both ordered take out and dined indoors. The food is equally delicious both ways! Just note that I believe only street parking is available for this restaurant -- we usually don't have an issue with finding parking when we dine there though (just be careful of course with the cars on Woodbury). When we go with a smaller group of people, we usually order: - Garlic Naan - Chicken Tikka Masala - Chana Masala - Vegetable Platter The portions are awesome, and I love the sauces you get with the vegetable platter. I also tried the lychee juice recently which was nice and refreshing. The servers are friendly and quick to clear away dishes when you're done eating, and payment is quick since they use a digital point-of-sale terminal (might be Square). read more

They changed the recipes AGAIN !!! All of a sudden some genius in the kitchen decided to batter and fry the eggplant in the Diwali biagon dish, terrible idea. The dish lacked the normal gravy and instead has globs of batter and thickened sauce. Next genius in the kitchen move, someone got their hands on a giant jar of minced garlic, absolutely disgusting and the genius in the kitchen managed to ruin the restaurant's signature dish Chicken Tikka Masala. Minced garlic imparts a bitter and harsh taste to the dish, a terrible taste. We got the chili lamb, there were no chilis or jalapeños in it, again the recipe has changed. The lamb was hard and dry, not fresh stewed (tender),the way it's been for years. Did the place get sold ? rumors amongst other customers waiting for their orders recently, ranged from yes, to Sanam is still in the kitchen, to no they didn't sell. For over a decade the place was fairly consistent, now not so much. read more

I attended dinner with a friend here. The staff was very efficient. Appetizers and main course came out at just the right time. We had the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, chicken samosas, shrimp pakora, rice pudding, and garlic naan. Everything was tasty. I especially like the appetizers and my mango lassi. It was like drinking a mango sorbet. Sooo good. The one draw back was the e garlic naan. It was very over cooked. It wasn't soft. It tasted like a crispy flatbread. More on the side of a cracker. It's a nice little mom and pop spot. I would try again if I was in the area. read more

Great Indo-Chinese place with taste/spices for everyone. Will definitely come back. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was a quaint amount of seating with a nice interior. Service was speedy, liked that they kept a bottle of water and the table and yet were still attentive to water. They also gauged our spice tolerance (chose mild) and gave chili/spice on the side just in case to taste. Had several dishes to share: Appetizers: Califlower Manchurian, solid crispy on outside and of course tender but not mooshy as it can get Dishes: Hakka Noodles, a highlight! Great taste with the freshness/crisp veggies and firm but not too firm noodles. Lamb Vindaloo, delicious good amount of spice and lamb was at a good level of tenderness Goat Rogan Josh, similar to the above gindamoo really enjoyed the taste and meat texture. Shai Paneer, excellent with a good mixture of tang and spice with an enjoyable amount of creaminess Bread Basket, with regular, garlic, and onion. Onion was a favorite! Will definitely come back! read more

Amazing food and service every single time!! You can never go wrong with their butter chicken. 10/10 food consistently!

This place is generally amazing (I only ever takeout though). Haven't been here for a few months, explored other venues and decided to come back. Must say have mixed feelings now. Ordered paneer tikka masala Chicken jelfrezi Pallak paneer The tikka masala was way runny and lacking in flavor. It was if they took the base of the sauce and forgot to put in all the seasonings. Very disappointed. Now on the other hand the chicken jelfrezi, I asked for spicy. Oh boy did they deliver! This was one of the hottest Indian dishes I've ever had. Simply delicious! Pallak paneer did not disappoint nor did the naan. So what happened? New chef? Chef having a bad day? I'm not sure. Though I will say normally this place is to knotch, well priced and well worth the wait. This time wasn't all that great. Could have been a bad day. Still recommend it so please don't hesitate to try read more

Always feels like home, their food is so good. I am a regular here and I love everything they have. They also have the best desserts I have had. Do try their chicken lollipop and mango lassi read more

Whenever I visit Long Island and crave Indian food this is the go to spot. Place is always busy and they do a lot of take out as well. Service is always phenomenal. When ordering, and the fact I myself am not Indian, they will ask if you want "Indian Hot" or "American Hot" which always makes me laugh. "Indian Hot" is way hotter than "American Hot" if you couldn't figure that out on your own. Food is always delicious never had any complaints. It is a small place with tables close to each other but that doesn't bother me. read more

We wanted to try a new Indian place. When we got there we were immediately seated in a colorful dining room. We ordered a bread basket, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb biryani, and Chicken Korma. The bread basket included Naan, Garlic Naan, and Onion Kulcha. They were all good. We asked for the food to be mild. The curries were flavorful and and the spice level was perfect. We enjoyed the meal. read more

I've heard a lot about Chili and Curry over the years and this place seems to have a good reputation. I actually came here for lunch many years ago and I remembered it was good but can't remember exactly what we ordered. It's been sad that many restaurants closed down their buffets during Corona times, and Chili and Curry did the same for the past few years. However, I recently called and was very happy to hear that they brought their lunch buffet back. So I was looking forward to trying it and seeing how it compares to Diwan on 107. This place is pretty small and has some weird hours. When I called, they said their buffet was from 11am-2:30pm, but I came at 11am on a Saturday and was told they weren't opening until 12. So I didn't go that day, but went back on a different weekend. I think the official buffet hours are from 11:30am-2:30pm on all days expect Monday. So I was happy to get in on a Saturday recently. There weren't too many people there when I arrived around 12:30pm on a Saturday, but people started coming in more towards 1:30. The first thing I noticed was that there weren't too many options to choose from at the buffet; maybe a total of 7 or so items. The ones I remember are butter chicken, goat masala, tandoori chicken, hakka noodles, mixed vegetables (mostly potato), and vegetable pekora. Which I don't have too much of a problem with if everything they offer is good. Unfortunately, all of the items seemed to have at least some sort of issue that dampened my enjoyment of them. For example, the butter chicken (one of my favorite things in the world) was kind of cold and not heated up very well. They had sternos set up for the food, but for some reason it wasn't keeping the butter chicken very hot. So it didn't taste amazing. The chicken pieces in the butter chicken were also very dry for some reason so it was disappointing. I'm not a huge fan of goat masala, but I tried some and it was ok. I actually liked the the flavor of the goat masala more than the butter chicken on this particular day. The hakka noodles were also pretty cold and just... missing something. Normally I'd enjoy these style of noodles a lot but it just tasted flat. The mixed vegetables (mostly potato) were pretty ok, nothing special. The vegetable pekora was very soggy and not crispy at all. So I really wanted to enjoy the food, but it just didn't deliver and it was kind of frustrating because I usually love indian buffet. I have to note a few good things to be fair. First off, the price for the buffet is excellent at $14.95 plus tax. I think this price is right where it should be. Also, this price includes naan, which is cool. At Diwan, they actually charge extra for naan these days, so I appreciate that these guys didn't pull something like that here. So I'll go with 2 stars for now cause my experience was disappointing. I feel like I might've just come on an off day though, so I definitely hope to try their buffet again in the near future and have a good experience. read more

Arrived at 5pm. Left at 6pm on a Wednesday night. We were the only people in the restaurant. Ambiance and service was fine as you would expect. We ordered drums of heaven ,a cauliflower and potato dish and boti kebab. A lamb curry. And nann The food was bland and tasteless.Onions were undercooked and the other vegetables were overcooked This was the first time I ever had to ask for a salt shaker in an Indian restaurant. I had been to this restaurant a few years ago and it was excellent. Now a total disappointment. Maybe the chef moved on... read more

Terrible. Rude on the phone. I don't know how this place is still open or are they still living on the good will of their last owners. Its been a few years no since it has changed hands to the new owners but the quality drop is immense. Will never go back. read more

Great place for asian fusion and typical desi dishes. Love their garlic butter naan and butter chicken. The staff is always friendly and courteous. The ambience is cute and cozy. Tables fill up very fast over the weekends. But they try to accommodate walk ins. Prices are reasonable. Go to spot in hicksville! read more

A small mom and pop shop that has good Indian food. My husband and I are new to the area but everyone recommended Chili & Curry. Street parking is a hit or miss but I see a lot of people getting takeout. It is a tight space so I wouldn't recommend for large groups. We love the Garlic Naan and Chicken Tikka Masala. The classics are delicious and are hard to mess up. The Tomato Soup was like an average American tomato soup. It didn't have all the different seasonings an Indian Tomato Soup would have or it was very lightly seasoned. The Chicken Samosas were a bit dry and not very flavorful. I assume they're not a popular item because they did not seem fresh. The Trader Joe's samosas are better in my opinion. The Chicken Biryani was a bit saucy for a fried rice and seemed to be cooked in a tomato sauce. It wasn't like any of the other biryanis that I've had in the past. The Chicken Shahi Korma isn't as good as the Chicken Tikka Masala. The texture wasn't as soft and the sauce wasn't as creamy as I had hoped. We did enjoy the Crispy Chicken with Honey and Dried Chili. It seemed almost like a sweet and sour chicken but in the form of Chinese BBQ boneless spare ribs. read more

This place is a hidden gem. It is a must when you want Indian food. I love coming here with my family. Chicken tiki masala is the best. Mango lassi is also very good and garlic naan is a must in your order. I have tried other places around Long Island and Queens and this place is still the very best. Their service is exceptional. They are very attentive. read more

A hole-in-the-wall joint that had utterly delicious food. I'd happily go back there again.

So - about 1-2 years ago, new owners came in. Clearly the didn't acquire the recipes, or changed them. We don't go here anymore.

I have been here numerous times and this review is long overdue. The food and service is top notch! You would be hard pressed to find the type of quality indian food at this price point for a buffet anywhere in the island. 8 entrees is the magic number here folks, with 2 types of soups, a salad and dessert. A simple banquet buffet style arrangement. The bread is made fresh and brought to your table The menu changes daily but for the most part, they are pretty consistent with offerings of chicken tikka masala, marsala goat, Dal, tandoori chicken, chili paneer, fried rice and pakora. As soon as you finish your plate the service staff removes your plate pretty quickly. The staff is dynamic as they are constantly on the move cleaning and monitoring the buffet levels. The only downside is the parking situation. If can be a little difficult to find spots on the street. Remember, they are closed on Monday. read more
