The Food Was TOO DIE FOR! This my first time having real authentic Indian Food with my girlfriend we absolutely loved it! Was so much food we couldn't even finish it. Butter chicken 1000/10 garlic naan 10/10 lychee drink 20/10 very flavorful Chili Garlic Fried Shrimp 1000/10 Dani Puri 9/10 mango mojito 10/10. Overall everything was 100/10 I will definitely come back and is open minded to try more food off the menu. Dominic was absolutely amazing 1000/10, I believe he knew it was my first time he was very patient with my girlfriend and myself. With an amazing smile and was just happy to help. He helped me pronounce the food items I couldn't get correct. Overall he gave me choices and options that were great that I really enjoyed. I don't remember the bartender names but he was great as well. His drinks were perfectly blended I felt like I was on vacation on a beach having them. But when I come back I definitely want to choose them! Ambiance was LUXURIOUS. Very clean, utensils were very clean as if it the a grand opening. I love the aesthetics and the color coordination and to the plates and silverware. Overall I recommend anyone especially if it's your first time. The people hear are amazing food is even better. 100/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Unfortunately, this was not a great experience... However, I'm going to touch base on both the good and the bad, although at this point I do NOT plan to return here. Pros: seated quickly, ambiance was lovely, appetizers came out quickly, the Lasuni Gobi was delicious. CONS: My husband and I waited 40+ minutes for our main dishes (dal + rice and the Paneer Tikka dish) to arrive....... And we watched the people who were seated AFTER us receive their MEAT dishes before we got our ours and we most definitely ordered first. We asked our server MORE THAN ONCE what was taking so long and we got the same answer each time "I've told the kitchen to hurry, it'll be out soon" To make matters worse, the person who brought us our dishes (maybe the chef? Maybe the manager?) brought them without the naan that we ordered. When I asked, "where's our naan?" He had the audacity to rudely say "it'll be out in a few minutes", as if we hadn't already been waiting 40+ minutes for vegetarian food that I could've whipped up myself in 20 minutes. His attitude towards us was so unacceptable considering the circumstances. We have absolutely no idea what happened or why it took so long for our simple dishes to arrive. It's especially perplexing considering that the people who came in AFTER us got their meat dishes first. The server apologized and decided to bring us some kulfi (ice cream) to try to make up for it, but we try to avoid eating sugar so that was useless. I felt bad for the server because it wasn't his fault that our food took a ridiculous amount of time to make it to our table, and it's not cool that a manager never stepped in to try to reconcile. As someone who waited tables for 8+ years, I was shocked at the lack of support this server received from his management team. The dal and paneer tikka dishes were average tasting at best (and overpriced), making another trip here completely unfathomable, most especially considering how we were treated. Note to management: do better. Support your staff and step in to reconcile with unhappy guests if this happens again. read more

My husband and I stopped by Red Chilli for the first time last night and had a really great experience overall. We did have a reservation, and the place was pretty busy, but they have a decent number of tables occupying two rooms, so we were seated right away. The decor is interesting in the second room. There are chandeliers that feel somewhat flamboyant and old school, but the food itself was presented in a modern way. We had the gobi Manchurian, chicken saagwala, lamb vindaloo, and garlic naan. I am usually hesitant to order gobi Manchurian, because I've always found it to be too sweet, but our server recommended it and assured us it wouldn't be sweet, and he was right. It was probably the best version of the dish I've ever had. My husband loved his lamb vindaloo, and I really liked my chicken saagwala. My only minor complaint about the chicken saagwala is that I prefer when it's made with dark meat, and Red Chilli makes it with boneless, skinless chicken breast, so a few of the pieces were a little dry. Great flavor though. The garlic naan was perfectly crispy and airy. Overall we really liked it and would definitely come back. The service was great too (shout out to our server, AJ). read more

Walked in for lunch and Anirban got us seated on a cozy table. Fresh interiors, light background music, noise levels on the lower end, and a pretty welcoming host. Our order consisted of an extremely delcious Chicken Manchow Soup ($7.99), a very masaledaar Chicken Biryani ($21.99), and a rather spicy Chicken Angara Kabab ($20.99). The angara kabab was just spice forward and did not really have a unique taste to it, but the chicken was well cooked. Service was relatively quick and food arrived within 25 mins of placing the order. Overall, a very pleasant experience and a great option in the neighborhood! read more

Come with me to Red Chilli in NYC It has opened its doors with a promise to deliver an exceptional culinary experience that blends traditional flavors with modern twists. Delicate flavors expertly combined to bring you an authentic taste of India. Extensive menu of Northern Indian fare and beloved Indian favorites. Red Chilli offer a robust wine and has a full bar serving classic cocktails. The restaurant's interior features a large dining room with sleek, clean lines and sparkling surfaces. The tables are dressed in crisp tablecloths and decorated with fresh flowers.

Cuisine: 3 Service: 7 Decor: 8 Value: 3 Overall: 4 Sorry for being brutally honest, but this restaurant in the heart of Jackson Heights just does not come anywhere close to its current 4.7 Yelp rating. Yes, it's a beautiful environment with fancy table settings and lots of chandeliers. Service was decent too. Unfortunately, the food itself just falls short of the robust flavors you expect from an Indian restaurant. The naan was alright in texture, but we could not taste the garlic whatsoever. Then came the Malai Kofta and Saag Paneer, which both lacked the spices and fragrance I expect from these dishes. Lastly, the server recommended their house special Chicken Angara Kebab. It was really not as spicy as he had described. More importantly, the white meat chicken had no depth of flavor and tasted very one dimensional. We were not impressed. I know the owners must have put in quite a bit of money and energy into the design of the restaurant. Maybe I have the whacky taste buds or went on a really off night, but I hope they spend more time improving the flavors of their food. read more

We love Red Chilli! We've ordered takeout here twice and both times have been a smash. Can confirm that the samosa chaat is better than the more well known Indian restaurant's down the street ;) Give Red Chilli a try! read more

A great new spot in Jackson Heights! The restaurant is clean, stylish, and welcoming -- and the staff, especially AJ, is friendly and knowledgeable. Tip: Make a reservation for Friday dinner. The menu has excellent vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Don't miss the Dahi Puri -- crispy, tangy, little clouds. The steamed chicken dumplings are another great starter. For mains, the Lamb Parda Biryani is a showstopper, served in a dough-sealed pot and meticulously sliced open at the table. The goat curry, lamb shank, and the Red Chilli special chicken Angara kabab are all flavorful highlights. Highly recommend! read more

Had to try the new place from the owners of Dosa Delight (go there as well if you've never been). Grabbed a reservation for a Saturday night and had an excellent meal here! My boyfriend and I shared: + Samosa chaat + Gobi Manchurian + Butter chicken + Garlic naan + Goat biryani The butter chicken was the #1 highlight, followed by the biryani. Samosa chaat and naan were also excellent. Only miss was the cauliflower, which had good flavor but I like it crispier. Service was great. We also had so many leftovers!! read more

If you're craving bold flavors and mouthwatering Indian food, Red Chilli Indian Restaurant in Jackson Heights is where it's at. This upscale, chic spot is perfect for date night--save this for your next night out! We had great service while dining here and our server gave us the run down on the menu so we knew all the best items to order. I got to try a variety of dishes and everything was packed with flavor, and hit all of my Indian cravings. Some of my faves included: Drinks * Lychee martini mocktail * Tamarind margarita mocktail Starters * Chilli garlic fried shrimp * Paneer pakora * Mango walnut salad Mains * Kebab mixed platter * Lamb curry * Butter chicken * Goat biryani Dessert * Gulab jamun * Rabdi falooda From appetizers to dessert, every bite was a hit.

Red Chilli - Rock solid Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

Stopped by for a light lunch yesterday with my girlfriend. She ordered a chai drink and we shared a couple of dishes. Samosa chaat: excellent combination of flavors and textures, a totally different experience from samosas by themselves. Special chicken angara kabab: so good! Tasty and tender boneless chicken in a chilli sauce that was surprisingly not too spicy. Even though we only shared two dishes, it was plenty of food for us to feel satisfied and not overly full. The prices at this restaurant are quite fair. The service was attentive, I appreciate getting my water refilled without having to ask. The ambiance is upscale and classy, just a refined and elegant setting. This would be a nice place to take the family on a special occasion, and has the potential to be a bold date spot, too. I'm so glad I finally got to visit and I can't wait to return to sample more of this delicious Indian food. read more

Wow! What a pleasant experience. We were craving some Indian and chanced upon Red Chilli. It was beautifully decorated and felt regal. But the real star was the food! First up, drinks. We ordered a Mango Tango and Chili Chilled Guava. The mango tango was sweet and refreshing, the rose flavored syrup was a nice touch. The guava was amazing. Refreshing, herby, and flavorful, it was everything I wanted. A must get drink. For appetizers we went all out! Pani puri was delicious. We filled each shell with their sauce and chomped down. Crunchy, tasty, and amazing. We also got the chicken 65. It was bite sized goodness. Perfectly cooked chicken, texture and feel was reminiscent of Chinese take out general tsos chicken but this is definitely much better. The Gobi Manchurian, is cauliflower covered in a flavorful saucy batter! It was chefs kiss. Loaded with flavor, the spices and batter infused in each bite made it so amazing. For our entrees, we ordered the butter chicken, which comes with rice and goat prada biryani. We also got a side of garlic naan. The butter chicken was delicious! Rich and creamy, this dish is a must get. Do yourself a flavor and get a naan with it. Each bite of chicken was a soft marinated delicious bite. I found myself cleaning the side of the bowl with ripped up pieces of naan. The goat biryani was so fun to open up! The goat and spices made the rice a savory meal. Each bite was a hard hit of flavor. The goat was tender and delicious! No gaminess at all. For dessert we got the Rabdi Falooda. It's so picture perfect. It's a beautiful dish. The rose is very hard, be careful when cutting to eat. It's sweet and rose flavored. Theres vermicelli on the bottom of it and the dish is surrounded by chia seed. The rose syrup really brings the dessert to life. The vermicelli threw me off. Combined with the chia seeds, the texture really confused me. I wasn't a big fan of the taste when eaten with the vermicelli and seeds. The rose itself is amazing! Overall the food and drinks were great! The staff were friendly and helpful, they offered great advice on dishes. Really worth the value. We had enough leftovers for lunch. I want to come back to try more! read more

This seems to be the new hip spot on a Saturday night amongst the Bengali-speaking crowd in Jackson Heights. It's "posh" in that special, unique posh way that only venues in Queens have really been able to master. Many selfies were being taken over the course of the evening, with a general wannabe Dubai TikTok influencer aesthetic. The owners are the same as at Dosa Delight, which hails from the days when Jackson Heights was actually an Indian enclave, and the menu leans Indian. I opted for the achaari soya chaap tikka, which has historically been harder to find on menus in the U.S. but seems to be having a moment. The chaap was very tender and well-seasoned. We also enjoyed the gobhi manchurian and samosa chaat as appetizers - overall quite a solid option for North Indian fare in the area. read more

This is my new favorite place. It is a nice restaurant with a classy feel. I did have to wait a few minutes before being seated but because staff was taking with patrons. I ordered a mango laddies and it was nice. The food was delicious. Chicken Tikka masala was creamy and comforting. The chicken had the right chew to it. The lamb briyani was flavorful and tasty. The lamb in it was overcooked making it chewy and when I told them they tried to change it but I insisted it was fine. The flavors were on point. The staff is polite and friendly and they value feedback. Looking forward to returning. Mera's Tip: chicken Tikka read more

When my friend told me about this brand-new spot, I was so hyped to try it. Red Chilli did not disappoint. Between the incredible food, flawless service, and an ambiance that whispers, "You're fancy now," this place is an instant favorite. The service was impeccable. The staff struck that rare balance of being attentive without hovering. My water glass never dipped below half, and the food arrived so promptly, I was almost suspicious they were reading my mind. If Red Chilli ran the DMV, the world would be a better place. * Gobi Manchurian ($10.99) Tangy, spicy, and crispy in all the right ways, this was an excellent opener. It's the kind of dish that makes you wonder why cauliflower doesn't get more love. A solid 4/5, only because I now know what greatness tastes like (see pic below). * Paneer Tikka Masala ($16.99) This dish didn't just steal the show -- it became the show. Creamy, perfectly spiced, and unapologetically rich, it was love at first bite. If I could give it 6/5, I would. Medium spice was the perfect choice, but honestly, this dish could carry any level of heat and still shine. 5/5. Garlic Naan ($9.98/2): I don't use the term "perfect" lightly, but this naan earned it. Soft, buttery, and heavy on the garlic, it's the type of bread that doesn't just complement a meal -- it defines it. If you don't order this, we can't be friends. 5/5. Overall, I'll give this spot a 5. Note: They add a 20% service charge for parties of four or more. read more

Great new-ish addition to the neighborhood. The food is vibrant & high quality, and service is speedy.

Red Chili Indian Restaurant is, without a doubt, a mandatory stop in Jackson Heights -- honestly, it should come with a "May Cause Cravings" warning label. The food is absolutely next-level: every dish is a perfect symphony of spices, the curries sing, and the Tandoor items? Chef's-kiss perfection. The presentation is so gorgeous it almost feels like the plates should come with their own runway. The staff runs the place smoother than ghee in a hot pan -- friendly, attentive, never pushy, and always on point. And the management? They're the real MVPs. They make you feel like family the second you walk in, creating a warm, community vibe that keeps people coming back like naan to butter chicken. One tiny suggestion: maybe turn the perfume/air freshener down just a notch. When you walk into a restaurant this good, you want to smell the food, not compete with a cloud of "Eau de Dining Room." Let those beautiful spices do the talking! Overall, Red Chili has serious magnetic pull. If you want consistently stellar Indian food, this is the place. My whole family loves it -- and trust me, we'll be back again and again... probably again after that too. read more

This place is great! I'm a big chicken person and every chicken dish is cooked perfectly with tons of flavor! The chili chicken special dish is spicy but so good with a little smoke effect when delivered to the table. Naan is great, rice is plentiful and the service is good with nice servers. Why they didn't get 5-stars: No full liquor license, so only beer and wine. I like prosecco but it only comes by the bottle, so I can't just have one or two glasses. read more

What a treat to have more high quality Indian food in the neighborhood! Plush green seats, banquette seating, and beautiful decor (look up for the water lily "stained glass") made for an unexpectedly tranquil experience.

Greetings from the chef added another surprising touch of class to 37th Ave. I'll happy return! read more

2.5 Stars but rounding it up to 3 Stars since the white ppl in my group loved the food. lol But honestly, this is white people's Indian food, Y'all! Red Chilli is more of a "New Indian" or "Modern Indian" restaurant. Don't expect the traditional, authentic Indian food you'd get at Angel Restaurant. (If you've never been to Angel, it's a must try!). Wow I have so much to say. I've been eating Indian food since I was a kid. We love authentic spicy and flavorful Indian food. We were sooooo excited for our first visit to Red Chilli, a relatively new high-end Indian restaurant in the heart of Little India. 74th St/Jackson Heights is renowned for authentic Indian food. We thought this lovely restaurant would be perfect for our Valentine's Day dinner. On a positive note: - staff were very friendly; albeit clueless - fresh ingredients were used - the restaurant was decorated very nicely for Valentine's Day - their dinnerware & glassware were beautiful - nice atmosphere; nice dining room Disappointments: - The Food!!! Omg, the food was so bland & boring. Yes, the ingredients were fresh, but each dish was lacking in both spiciness and bold flavors. So boring! The dishes were also lacking in proteins. They were swimming in sauce but there was minimal protein in each dish. (See my photos of the lovely sauces! Smh) I know the cost of groceries are outrageous these days, but for the prices that Red Chilli charges, we expected more protein; not just sauce. Considering that the dining room was 85% Indian people, our food seemed dummied down (Americanized). When the manager stopped by to ask us how everything was, I told him our disappointment at the bland food, and his response was simply "oh, we make all our dishes mild or medium" ....then he just walked away! Well, the food was definitely not medium spicy and it was beyond mild. More like no spiciness at all. -- Service & Hospitality: The wait staff (albeit very nice & friendly), used no common sense when serving our group of 11ppl. We were 3 groups; each group consisted of 3-4 ppl, sharing the dishes family style. Yet when we asked for serving spoons, they asked us if we wanted "a big spoon or little spoon"...what?!?! lol We said Big Spoons...then they brought us one big spoon. We had to specifically ask them for a Big serving spoon for each of our dishes. When the dishes came out, they gave the same exact dish to one group (not one dish per group). They brought out all the dishes but no rice. We all just sat there for a while, looking at the sauces. What are we supposed to eat the dishes with?! I had to ask twice before the rice was brought out. When the Naan was served, they put all 3 orders in one basket for 11 ppl to share (not 3 separate orders/3 baskets). When we asked for containers for our leftovers, they brought one container for one group and no containers for the other two groups. I mean, I could go on and on. Just clueless. It really felt like the Twilight Zone. But at least they were nice! We still managed to have a good time, and didn't let the boring bland food ruin our Valentine's Day. I do thank Red Chilli for taking our reservation for a large group on this holiday evening. The white ppl loved it! read more

My boyfriend and I dined here the day before Valentine's Day for an early celebration dinner! The decor and vibes were very cute and festive throughout the space and at each table! The staff was friendly and helpful when sharing recommendations. They continuously refilled our waters throughout the meal which was helpful especially when we were enjoying the more spicy food! We got several different apps. Our favorite was the Lasuni Gobi which reminded me so much of like a sweet + spicy korean fried chicken flavor (except it was fried cauliflower). I never had anything like that before at Indian restaurants, so this is something I will definitely order again! The mango walnut salad was very refreshing and had some yummy fruits. For the entrees, we got the Goat Biryani, butter chicken, and Tandoori lamb chops. I admit I have an American palate, so I loooove butter chicken. It was perfect to eat with garlic naan. The Biryani was a GREAT pick; the staff cuts open the bread atop the Biryani, letting out all the steam and revealing packed rice with tender goat meat inside as well. Wish we could have had room for dessert but literally my partner and I were WAY too full! We had so much leftovers to take home too. With the price point and big, delicious portions of food, it was a meal worth the visit to Jackson Heights area. read more

I visited this restaurant recently with a group of friends, and unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations. While the restaurant itself is beautiful the dishes we tried were disappointing. I ordered the Red Chili Chicken Special but it was extremely sour with an overpowering amount of lemon that ruined the overall flavor completely a 1/5 dish. We also ordered the Shrimp Malai Curry, which was very bland compared to other places I've tried in Jackson Heights. 2/5 The Butter Chicken, which I usually get at any Indian or Bangladeshi restaurant to see how they do basic dishes was also not good. It lacked flavor and did not taste authentic. The naan was great, probably the best part of the meal but the drinks were not. I ordered a virgin pina colada, and they added strawberry Rooh Afza to it, which completely changed the drink and at that point became a strawberry drink. Our bill came to $104, and it really felt like we were paying more for the aesthetics than for the food. To be fully honest this restaurant is for gentrifiers and honestly anyone who isn't south Asian. Anyone who eats authentic brown food at home or anywhere else in Jackson heights would try this food and understand. Although many restaurants in Jackson heights don't have the aesthetics I can guarantee the food is tastier and higher quality. If you're looking for good quality Bengali or Indian food, I wouldn't recommend this place solely based on what we ordered. Maybe there are better dishes on the menu, and if you're open to trying different things, you might find something you like. But for me, it just wasn't worth it at all. Sorry for the lengthy review ! read more
