I went there several times, some times the food is good but some times it's not acceptable. Service was awful, super impolite staff, and every time you should wait like 40 to 45 minutes for food. The ambiance was great and clean . I am giving one star only because of service and food. read more

Review is for take out food. We tried 3 things , bun kabab, tandoori chicken and Nihari. Bun Kabab wasn't bad but was not "karachi style " as claimed in the menu. It was basically an average shami kabab in a burger bun. Nihari was bad. Might qualify as a decent fresh beef stew, but it was not Nihari. Finally, tandoori chicken, it was very good. This is a Pakistani restaurant but uses Indian restaurant nomenclature. What they call tandoori chicken is actually a good old Pakistani chicken tikka and it's great. glad to find a spot that does justice to chicken tikka. Next I have to find a good Nihari place in valley. read more

Food was so good place clean i loved chicken tikka masala except!!!!! The girl who work makes you feel uncomfortable if you ask her for anything ( face with no smile no attitude if you ask her to bring you something she act weird if you say thank you no answer i would rather stay home instead of someone treat me like this and the big surprise she eat from the plate before you get it !!! I saw her eating fries from plate while she serve it to the people!!! read more

All tables are full. But only one server to take orders and bring food. Waited 2 hrs to eat a simple order.

Loved the food here very clean place. Very welcoming staff. Definitely recommend to anyone Love Afghani Food

Best place to eat. The food is yummy. The chai is the best. The naan bread the way they make it crispy is amazing. I recommend this place

I visit here many times but the services rendered to me by Alysa today were exceptional. She has the best customer care, she is very fast. Time well spent. Thanks, Alysa, and thanks Red Chilli. read more

I like the food at Red Chili but I really have an issue with the interior upkeep & cleanliness of this restaurant. Interior: They have a beautiful chandelier with dust lined all over it. The couches and booths are scratched up with holes. They have cute couches in their patio area but even those couches are falling apart. The owners need to pay attention to the fine details to improve customer experience. Food: Pakistani food is similar to Indian food, with a bit more variety and use of different spices. I love that they provide each table with a yogurt sauce and a hot salsa. The portions are a bit too small here but somehow I get really full. Ordered Chapli kabobs but they were over cooked and burnt. These are the items I highly recommend: Naan- garlic naan, paneer naan (stuffed with cheese) are all great! One order is 4 pieces. And the naan are nice and thick. Biryani- this is fried rice mixed with meat and spices. My favorite is mutton or goat biryani but I recommend any flavor! Mango Lassi- I actually like their mango lassi here more than other places because it's the perfect amount of sweet, has a thin 'crema' like consistency, and isn't too mango-ey Nihari is better than Haleem. Both are extremely oily No to Chicken Tikka Masala- Indians make this a lot more sweeter and more orange. At Red Chili's this item was underwhelming. It didn't have enough flavor and the chicken was dry. Overall this is a pretty good place to eat and you get a variety of dishes & flavors. However portion sizes, atmosphere needs to change for an overall better experience. read more

This is not the quality we once enjoyed. We enjoyed the food for several years, but now the people we used to know are gone, the prices are way up and instead of steaming hot food, you now get what is left over from the buffet unless you order something they haven't been serving all afternoon. And now they are going to offer pizza. $70.00 for a pickup order and waiting 30 minutes after calling it in. The green sauce was as thin as almond milk and zero taste. The food was cold and didn't taste fresh, for $70.00. The nan was cold and tough, overcooked, instead of hot and fresh. The cold buffet pans were sitting along the wall full of food and no one bothered to collect them. The interior is not as clean as it once was, and makes me wonder what the kitchen must be like. read more

Traditional good food! I ordered take out and the packaging in which the food comes isn't the best. I ordered Chicken Biryani and it came super HOT in a STYROFOAM box. It was so hot it was melting the styrofoam?! Thats my only concern. But their Channa Masala is delish !! I loved the food. read more

horrible food, rice had small bones throughout. buffet was not clean, everyone's hands were touching the food. will never return. The girls also had horrible service and bad attitudes read more

This was my local Pakistani Spot while I was in college. It's located in a weird parking lot but it's worth the trip if you're in the San Fernando valley. I am particular about Pakistani tandoori food, as I have eating it since I was a kid. Red chili is a good representation of it even though I've had better. That should not deter you from coming here at all, I'm just being objective. If you're new to Pakistani food, stick with the beef seekh kabob or chicken tikka. These two food are beef and chicken tandoori staples and in my opinion are a good segway into the food. If you want to try a gravy the chicken tikka masala is excellent. If you are a true foodie, I suggest you try the Paya as it's freaking delicious. read more

When it comes to Sindhi (Pakistani) style of biryani - this is my go to place. I've eaten in almost all the Indian restaurants around LA area and undoubtedly Red Chili beats them all by taste, quality, quantity and "they've managed to keep the flavors and spice levels legit" while the menu is very reasonably priced. All the other chicken and goat dishes served here are very rich and flavorful. I would give them 5 stars but I had to give them a star less due the service being little slow but the food definitely makes up for it. Recommend this place to every Indian food lover. Do not forget to order chai (tea), it's just too good. read more

Red Chili - Best awadhi chicken biryani in the valley! - Pakistani Near Me - Northridge, California

This is a very tasty South Asian restaurant if you're in the area you should check them out I recommend their biryani and their nihari very tasty especially the nihari but just keep in mind that it is very spicy and they are not able to change the level of spice but this is pretty common with South Asian food read more

Giving one star because my husband and I stopped by here since we were hungry while doing laundry down the street. We saw the OPEN sign lit up, all the lights were on, people were inside, and the doors were still open. We went inside and they laughed and said they were closed. Didn't even apologize and just made it seem like we were the ones in the wrong. read more

Red Chili - Says open, lights on, doors open. We go in and they laugh and say they're closed. - Pakistani Near Me - Northridge, California

I ordered mandi rice, Bukhari rice, Chicken Chargha and chicken samosa take out. Bukhari rice and Mandi rice was just boiled and with added turmeric. No taste.. This restaurant is generally making American customer fools by serving this type of low quality food. Just plane rice with pieces of lamb on it. Chicken Chargha was a dry leftover chicken. So bad, tasteless!!! It was so dry that I couldn't even chew it. Red Chili is fooling people and giving bad quality food. This place is poor quality, serve not fresh food. This place is not authentic. People be sure before spending your money. I spent 50 bucks and it was all useless!! Worst food ever!! read more

The food is ok, but the service is terrible. Why does everyone who works here look so miserable? The young lady who usually work at the cashier never greets their patrons, and often has a bad attitude. Once the food is served, no one checks to see if everything is ok and if you need anything else. All the other workers act terrified or angry all the time. read more

Come here for the food, not the service. My mother, sister and I came for lunch one day and were seated immediately. A good sign, right? We had questions about the menu, but the guy who seated us didn't speak English so he deferred us to someone who was a manager or maybe even an owner. This manager seemed to be the only person on top of things. While the other employees just kind of stood around looking lost, he was running around answering phones and serving customers. After getting some assistance on the menu, we ordered and waited patiently for our food. In the meantime, two other tables were seated. While we merely received one dish, the other tables were severed several dishes. Perhaps they ordered ahead? Anyway, it took over an hour before we finally received our complete order: samosas, beef kebabs, eggplant biryani, lamb curry, and garlic naan. First, we bite into the lamb and notice that it's actually chicken. We tell the manager and he's like, "We ran out, I changed it and fixed the bill." Although still tasty, it would have been nice to be told beforehand, especially because we really wanted lamb and probably would have just canceled the order. The kebabs were really dry and had the consistency of falafels. They're personally not to my taste. The garlic naan was typical garlic naan. The eggplant biharini was amazing. I am typically not a fan of eggplant, but this one was so smooth and buttery and the flavor was fantastic. The only downside was that it was a tad too spicy. So by the time we finish what was on the table we're like "where are the samosas". Again, the manager was like "We were really busy this weekend and we're out completely." Red Chili Halal, your food is fantastic, but please communicate with your customers! My boss's husband is Pakistani and said this is typical for their culture, but what about branching out for your customers from different cultures? read more

All I can say is wow , the Mix Veggie Biryani taste super delicious full of flavor and spices , definitely my new favorite spot read more

Red Chili - rice and vegetables in a styrofoam container - Pakistani Near Me - Northridge, California

I had the paneer tikka masala, chicken tikka masala and chili chicken. Paneer tikka masala was great and creamy as it should be. The chicken tikka masala was disappointing after the paneer tikka masala. The chicken in it was hard and did not add to the dish. The chili chicken was our appetizer and it was also very tasty. I would go back for the paneer tikka masala if I end up in the area again. Service was alright, as the guy was slow and brought out the dishes very slowly, he also asked us our order many times to be sure. However another employee was helping him and he seemed to know what he was doing! read more

First of all I don't want to come back again and I will request my friends and family also not come.very poor customer service.Both ladies who serve us looks so disgusted to us. I asked for spoon 3 times and they said they don't have clean spoon.really? Me and my family so much disappointed. read more

a total waste of money. disrespect of chicken Chargha but what's more disgusting was they charging half of the chicken for 15$ read more

Absolutely delicious! I am not a connoisseur of much Indian/Pakistani food but the food here is definitely pleasing to the pallet. I can't handle much spice so we usually order two Chicken Tikka Masalas, one mild and one either spicy or medium spice. (Found out today that it originally comes as non-spicy but every time we've ha it here they ask us what spice level... Just a side note). We order two orders of the same thing for just the two of us, it's THAT good! Their garlic naan is delicious and in my opinion perfectly cooked and I love garlic. Dip this in the Tikka Masala and you're golden. Haven't been here in a couple of months and their sauces have disappeared off the tables but they used to have this chutney(?) sauce and white sauce that were delicious. I'm waiting for my order now so I'll ask them for some to-go to see if try have it. Trying the Lamb Karahi today, hope it's just as good! And of course we have an order of the Chicken Tikka Masala, it's really difficult to get away from our regular orders when they are crave-a-licious! Sitting here there are already 5 orders for their chicken tikka masala coming in over phone orders (sorry eavesdropped a bit). Verdict: definite return Oh and the people here are super nice and friendly. read more

This place has bad customer service. The servers were unfriendly, racist, and discriminative. Food is not that great, it's ok. I hope this place gets shutdown because I went there twice and all I got in return is bad service read more

What can I say , this is delicious . The Spices , the taste, the quality , the portions, are top notch! Fantastic. The Lamb Biryani is the best i've had since "Rocky's" (some of you may remember Rocky's Tandoori). This is my new place to have delivered to Chatsworth. This is truly tasty Biryani. The samosas were PERFECT!.. I used DoorDash which worked out fast and easy. I'll be ordering more soon .. read more

Food is great! We always get extra to go. Can't get enough of their naan. I think it's the best I've had so far. There's a man that always serves us when we're there. I don't know if he's the owner or not, but he's so nice and attentive. Their lamb is absolutely awesome as well as their chicken tikka. read more

The foods always good but the service has lots to improve. It always feels understaffed and so long waiting time to order and get the food. The lamb tikka masala is the best. They have a handful of Arabian options which are good too. read more

The food here is so delicious. We came with a group and ordered a bunch of different items for the table. Food included naan, chicken and lamb tikka masala, chicken biryani, a chicken tikka masala wrap and more. Every. Single. Item. Was delicious! Our server was really friendly and helpful too. He gave great suggestions. It's a very casual place in a tiny parking lot. There is limited outdoor seating. I also noticed that they do take out or you can call your order in. We will definitely be coming back. Their food is authentic, very reasonably priced, and delicious. read more

I ate here one Friday night and the food was so delicious. I ordered the chana masala and the veggie biryani and samosas and everything was flavorful and delicious. The spices tasted so fresh and there were tiny chunks of fresh ginger in my masala it could have been a bit spicier because I love spicy, but I'll definitely return for another delicious vegan meal. I'm so glad I found this place. read more

For 3 people, we ordered: Chicken Tikka Masala - So good! Lamb Biryani - The lamb was so soft and fell off the bone. REqlly good! Naan (I LOVE Naan. Love love love). I thought the food overall was very flavorful! I would definitely come back again. read more

Red Chili - Pakistani Near Me - Northridge, California

Have came here for years, quality of food has not changed. My favorite Indian restaurant in the valley.

Really good Indian food. Had the chicken tikka masala which was great, but there were only like 8 pieces in it, and none of the dishes come with rice or anything else for about $10. My bf ordered the lamb vindaloo and it tasted great too, but he also ordered it to be extra spicy and it wasn't spicy at all lol. I guess we expected spicier at an Indian place, but disregarding that, it is still really good. We ordered some garlic naan and it was the perfect compliment to our dishes. I'll be coming back to try other meals, everything on the menu sounds good. read more
