Nice indoor area but I sat outside as it was so nice out. It's a standard menu so I went with my goto which was the extra spicy chicken vindaloo. With a plain naan. They give you tons of rice with it and it's a serving you can get two meals out of. The sauce was so good and I was hungry so I ate a lot of it ! Lots of chicken too. Great service and pretty quick. Great place to come for a hearty dinner and nice they have such a variety in this area. Would definitely be back here when I'm in the area.

I wanted something spicey and smokey to take the edge off. I ordered Chicken Tikka Massala, Garlic Roti, with a side of Samosas. I wasn't impressed with the doughiness of the Samosa casing but that could have been due to the Styrofoam trapping condensation. However, the chicken was flavorful and indulgent. It was rich and creamy with a robust tomato accent. They serve a daily lunch buffet. Its open so you can mix and match protiens and sauce flavors.

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.

I recently tried Red Chillez Indian Cuisine and honestly had a pretty mixed experience overall. The…read morerestaurant itself had a nice atmosphere and the service was decent, but the food did not fully live up to expectations. The Gobi Manchurian was cooked far too crispy to the point where it felt hard and overfried instead of having that perfect balance of crunch and softness inside. The Malai Kofta was another disappointment because the kofta itself had a stretchy texture and tasted like it may not have been freshly made, though I will say the curry surrounding it was actually very flavorful, creamy, and enjoyable with good spice balance. Unfortunately, the naan was extremely dry and lacked the soft, buttery texture you would normally expect from fresh naan at an Indian restaurant. The Paneer Biryani also had an overwhelmingly strong masala flavor that completely dominated the dish and made it difficult to enjoy the other flavors or the paneer itself. Overall, there were a few good elements here and there, especially some of the curry flavors, but the food quality and textures across multiple dishes made the experience feel inconsistent.

The last couple of times I've been was with my work group. We ordered several items for our table and then we also ordered entrées.

All of the sauces and curry creams were cooked to perfection hot in temperature not too hot to enjoy. Our servers were very kind and patient and courteous to us as we made our decisions. They also made perfect combination for our selections. And the best selections for drinks and desserts. Since then, I've even ordered on Uber eats and my food came just as perfect. This is a great go to place for good Indian food. If you're in the uptown area it's located below the Green parking lot, which is across from the Knight theater. It's just a good place even if you want a good drink at the bar. Enjoy!

I stumbled across Zafran after a friend recommended the nearby India House, which unfortunately…read morecloses on Mondays. Zafran felt authentic, though authenticity can be a double-edged Khyber sword when you have no idea what you're ordering. Pictures of famous mosques and religious leaders covered the walls, while thick, clear plastic protected the Punjabi textiles on every table. The server and I struggled to communicate, and Google Translate proved about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. I asked about the Jarzamzam drink, but the only explanation I understood was that it cost too much for the staff to sample. Siri eventually entered the conversation and explained that it was water from a sacred well in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Next, I ordered the Lassi. In my mind, Lassi means a cold, sweet yogurt drink flavored with mango. This version arrived plain, salty, and lumpy. It was clearly homemade, but ordering it reminded me of navigating a tourist bar in Thailand: ask follow-up questions before choosing the mystery option. The Chicken Kabab consisted of two slender, tube-shaped portions of ground meat buried under shredded raw onion and served with just a cup of saffron rice. At $25, shrinkflation appears to have hit Zafran harder than an Uber Eats service fee. My previous Pakistani meals had delivered the exact opposite experience. Plates usually arrived with piles of pilaf and so many skewers, you'd have to approach your meal like it was an angry porcupine. I also wouldn't choose Zafran for a romantic dinner. The dining room is crowded and very rustic, rustic enough to make an interior designer collapse. Still, I would return with someone familiar with Pakistani food and the language being spoken. A knowledgeable dining partner might help uncover the treasure beneath the restaurant's gritty exterior and help identify the better choices and values.
