Aman was our server, and he was so attentive, sweet, and kind! The food was really good, too. The pani puri had the perfect amount of spice, the chicken pyazi curry was a 10/10, and the lamb chops were cooked to perfection. Overall, such a great experience, we'll definitely be back! (: read more

This experience was so disappointing that it compelled me to write my very first Yelp review. In short - please don't fall for the Sanjeev Kapoor name or the pretty looking pictures, we did and regretted deeply for a very unpleasant night and experience. Guaranteed Disappointment - Food, Ambiance, Service !!! I went to The Yellow Chilli in Plano expecting a good Indian meal. Instead, the food was shockingly poor--easily among the worst Indian food I've had across Dallas, or any other US or Global metropolitan city. The food arrived almost immediately after we ordered. The speed, combined with how it tasted, gave me the impression of premade food being reheated rather than freshly prepared. The goat dum biryani tasted like plain white rice dumped together with goat curry, with none of the aroma, depth, or layered flavor I expect from a properly prepared dum biryani. It was bland and poorly executed. The masala papad came soggy and had poor display of some cucumber tomato or onions lacking freshness. The lamb nalli gosht was an even bigger disappointment. It was overwhelmingly salty, with what tasted like a heavy-handed heap of spices that somehow delivered no balanced flavor. Nothing about it tasted fresh to me. The food was so disappointing that we left most of it uneaten. The garlic Naan was not at all fluffy or soft rather hard and thin and crumbled like a papad. We didn't even touch the extra raita or salad we had ordered and sent those back. The only halfway decent items were the lachha paratha and dal makhani. For a bill of around $200 for two adults, one toddler, and one infant, this was an especially frustrating experience and terrible value. Paying that much and leaving most of the meal uneaten made the disappointment even worse. I wasn't expecting perfection, but I did expect enjoyable, decently well-prepared Indian food. This meal fell far below that standard. An extremely disappointing experience and one I would not repeat and ask others not to fall for their trap. read more

I think my favorite dal I've ever had! My husband and I split the Lalla Mussa Dal & bread basket and it was the perfect amount of food for 2 people. Everything was so delicious. The dal was super creamy and flavorful, and the breads were all great. My favorite was the Pyaaz Mirch ki Roti. Service was very friendly and ambiance was welcoming. read more

They dont really have a tandoor so everything listed which should be from a tandoor is fried or sauteed. Curry is even worse, just full of heavy cream. All other items seemed frozen. read more

I was in Dallas visiting friends in mid-July and they took me to eat at The Yellow Chilli in Plano. I'd actually been there once before with them. It was surprisingly empty when we went but the food was again delicious! There were only two people working that day and only one bartender and there seemed to be a disconnect between the person taking our orders and preparing the drinks. I had asked for a dry gin martini with a lemon twist but first got a dirty one (with olive juice) so I sent it back and then they brought me one with a lime, which was actually nice so I drank it. They were pleasant and fixed it quickly. The second one they made with a lemon twist. We ordered a variety of dishes that we shared and unfortunately I can't remember the names of them anymore, but we will probably go back there again the next time I visit them! read more

I chose this place from Yelp we had booked for 6. The service was quick Appetizers the Amritsary Fish and prawns were good. The corn item and pani puri were very good. Chicken main menu was ok. Sarso da saag was very delicious. The drinks were excellent. Medium was hot for us so order mild. Overall good experience with few novelty dishes. Enjoy !!! read more

Food was delicious!! Atmosphere was very nice, business casual. Felt cozy authentic. Some of the best Indian food we have had. read more

The reviews are correct. Once you order you will never see the server again until he brings the bill. I think Jose was our server and he only had us and one other table. He knew that none of us had our teas or waters refilled the entire time, but didn't matter. Nope. Shut it down. read more

Family went here for lunch to find service was poor. Veg food entrees was very salty. On top of this everything was over-priced most entree prices above $18 and quantities were relatively very small. read more

Don't be fooled by the pictures--the camera did a good job. Not sure where to begin. I've never been to a restaurant where you don't even know who your server is until it's time to pay the bill. The service was absolutely terrible. As for the ambiance, there's really nothing worth mentioning except for one nice wall painting of a woman. The food was overloaded with masala and lacked anything memorable--biryani was so bad- though the dessert was surprisingly good. read more

Minus the poopy seeds, the food was great and full of flavor. The heat was real the real deal and definitely will return. Hopefully by then they edit their menu so my daughter doesn't stop laughing and pointing it out when we go. read more

We went to celebrate a birthday at yellow chilli in September, drove 30 minutes to get there to find out the restaurant had a private event and will not be taking any customers Yesterday I called before going and was told to make reservations which I did. There was no wait time when we got there. The appetizers, main course, dessert and mocktail were all good. We asked for onions and the server brought a few slices of onions with a few pieces if shredded carrots, when we got ready to pay we noticed there was a 5$ charge for the onions which in my opinion was ridiculous because they charge you more than enough for the food. read more

Super salty food. And breads were crunchy instead of soft and fluffy. We ordered 1 appetizer , 2 meat and 2 veggie plates , 1 veg thali, 2 desserts. Cost 220$ Pyaaz Masala Paneer , Adaraki Dhaniya Paneer and came super salty. We asked server to fix it and it came out salty even after being fixed. We just had to accept the taste and move on. We waited for 30+ minutes for appetizers to be served and 50+ minutes for main course. Surprisingly Restaurant was not busy but delay did not make sense. Desert was just ok not super awesome. Prices are premium but quality, quantity, service was super bad. There are so many better Indian restaurants in Dallas. This is overrated and not worth the hype! Ambiance is beautiful but serving plates are just ok. read more

Enjoyed a delicious lunch at The Yellow Chilli. We tried the butter chicken, Pudina Murgh Tikka, and murgh bhuna masala and butter naan. The naan was very tasty and you could eat it by itself. The chicken dishes were also flavorful. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Cute little spot, service was okay. read more

Not sure what the hype is about.... Visiting from out of state on a business trip, stopped by for dinner on a week day. We ordered a few drinks and entrees. We tried adraki paneer, mix veggies and dal tadka dhaaba with mixed naan basket. Everything was Ok. Nothing memorable. The 3 stars are for a decent drink....i tried the skullbreaker. Service was ok. Ambience is forgettable. For someone who likes Sanjeev Kapoor for his recipes & his shows, this didnt match up the hype. read more

Overrated. Food was just so so. It was over priced and the quality was meh. Chatpatta Sheekh Kebab was dry and overcooked. The rest of the dishes was actually disappointing. Ambiance is nice and service was good. I guess you would go there for those 2 reasons. read more

Dessert was the favorite part of the meal- partly because I have a sweet tooth and because the Gulab-gulkand and the kesari kulfi was a meal on its own. The rose essence and the unusually large gulab was a treat coupled with the saffron kulfi. The biriyani was full of flavor and cooked in a pot that was sealed with dough to keep in the flavor and aroma. The paneer and the chicken dish were ok. The pudina (mint) murg tikka appetizer was flavorful and a great start to the meal. The restaurant was busy and service was friendly and attentive. The food presentation was impressive ( especially the desserts and the biryani). Definitely a place I would want to explore their other menu items. read more

I finally found myself up in North Dallas recently, and was able to get takeout from this restaurant on my trek back down South. I thought this was good, but not better than my usual stop in downtown Dallas. My partner who can't tolerate any spice was unable to eat the food. I ordered it "mild" which is always subjective at Indian restaurants, but this was definitely not mild enough for him that we would visit again. read more

I Heard about the yellow chili restaurant from a friend. And I was so excited when I saw the reviews and pictures online, so I made a reservation on the OpenTable app 2 Weeks prior. I did not find the taste remarkable; it certainly did not live up to the standards of chef Sanjeev Kapoor's recipes, the hallmark of tasty Indian cooking. The Food quality and quantity are not worth the price. The dessert was delicious, but the appetizers and main course were moderate. For appetizers, we ordered Vodka Pani Puri(very bland). The Hyderabad dum biryani was sweet(no biryani is supposed to be). The service was unsatisfactory, and they were in a hurry, not even taking time to answer any questions. But the worst aspect for me was that when I ordered the food and asked the server to make the biryani a little spicy, he directly informed us that it was a north Indian cuisine restaurant and not to expect them to add any more spiciness. Not only was the server harsh, but the service took more than half an hour to present. I would not recommend this place. Instead of the high prices and the dissatisfactory service, the ambiance of a celebrity chef's restaurant was the silver lining of this experience. read more

Great ambience, good service and good food!! We had a good time here. Loved Harippa Paneer Tikka, Shaam Savera and the bread basket, the rotis here are perfect! The curries come with a portion of rice. Generous entree portions, appetizers can be shared by 2-3. And the desserts, Shahi Tukda and gajar ka halwa are not only gorgeous to look at but delicious too! Perfect sweet level! Loved it! read more

Recently craving butter chicken and saw a tik tok review of this place so I decided to visit and omg the butter chicken was amazing. The sauce was so rich and flavorful paired with the garlic naan, it's a must try. The bartender was a bit dismissive but the server was nice and accommodating. I sat at the bar because it was open seating. Shortly around 7 pm the people started to fill in the reserved tables. Parking was convenient in front of the building. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

Food here is below avg for an upscale Ind restaurant. Save your $$ and go somewhere else. They just rely on the chefs name but the food is nothing like it. read more

February 2022 I'd been wanting to try out this restaurant for a long time and that day finally came one fine weekend. We made reservations so that there would be no hiccups (there's a $10/person cancellation fees for no shows and they hold your table for 10 minutes from the time of the reservation). This decor is modern with bright lights all around, a decently sized bar area and Indian music playing in the background (the music, however, was a little random). The restaurant feels classy and is comparable to other high end restaurants. Our table wasn't ready when we arrived, so we were seated in the bar area to check out the menu and order a few drinks if we wished, and that's EXACTLY what we did. My friends ordered Indian mule and I went for the classic old fashioned. The bartender was knowledgeable and very helpful. I wanted my base to have a spicy note so he suggested me a few options and I appreciated that. For appetizers, we started with Masala Papad which was pretty good. The green chutney that is served on the table was fantastic. We then ordered the Harippa Paneer Tikka (it was cooked to perfection and the paneer just melted in our mouths) and Chatpatta Seekh Kebab (A mix of minced chicken and lamb). They were all fantastic and flavorful and we all loved it. For main course, we went with Shaam Savera (A blend of cottage cheese with spinach and tomato gravy as its base) and garlic naan. To be honest, this was a little disappointing since the tomato gravy was on the sweeter side. We slowly but surely crept our way to the desert section. We ordered - Gulab-e-Gulkand, Rasmalai and Sahi Tukda. We all felt the deserts were the show stoppers and let me just put it out there, the gulab jamun is one chunky boi. It's HUGEEE. The presentation was just perfect and the taste was rich. The prices are a little on the expensive side but the quality, presentation and the taste of the food justify the expensive price tag. The service was impeccable, the food, delicious, and I'd easily recommend this place for anyone to enjoy a good evening with friends and family alike. read more

It was a Thursday evening, we didn't do reservations, so instead of waiting for our seat, we decided to sit on the bar. Let me tell you, the bar experience was great. The bar tender is super friendly and jolly. He made sure we weren't left out from the rest. I began my evening with Peru Pyala- it was slightly sweet but the red chilli masala on the rim was a perfect balance. Loved the idea of sweet and spice on this drink. For the appetizer, we had the tandoor chicken - half. It was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy on the inside. The green chutney on the side was the perfect side. For the main course, we had the Paneer do Pyaaza and Puran Singh da tari wala murgh. My personal favorite was the paneer dish. The blend of Masala and onions is super super rich. Plus the cottage cheese was so soft. Chicken dish wasn't as expected but good taste. The only negative thing which I found was the wait time between the appetizer and main course. We waited for almost 40-45 mins. There was a big table which had lot of orders but definitely didn't expect the wait for us to be this long. Nevertheless, i had a wonderful dinning experience. Delicious food and great fusion content. Highly recommended. read more

Bakhwas Place. Sorry Sanjeev Kapoor - your reputation is going down the drain. Ordered Mushroom Shorba - was cold, bitter returned. They initially said they had tomato soup and when we requested for it they said they didn't have it. Tandoori Hara Chicken - Garlicky Bitter Chettinad chicken - no salt and spicy Spinach Paneer - bitter and spicy Never coming back and would not recommend. The two star is for ambience and service. read more

Food is amazing, service is very good and ambience is also very good. We came few times , quality of food is amazing.

Disclaimer: The Review is purely based on the Items I Ordered. Just Avoid this Place !!! Inspite of not having expectations(Probably had expectation that they would serve decent Indian Food), this place disappointed to the core. Masala Papad and Peshawari Naan were Ok. Bhuna Gosht which was mentioned as slow cooked was still hard and with less salt and more spice. The Dum Ghost Biryani was atrocious. It lacked flavor and dint not even attempt to eat after the first serving and left it . Guess it is better not to talk more about this. Pros: -------- Decent Ambiance Free Parking Friendly Host Clean Restrooms Cons: --------- FOOD Spend your Money Elsewhere. Not returning for Sure and would definitely advice all my friends to avoid. read more

The naan here was $14 a basket which is ridiculous. The naan was also cold. read more

Seeing mixed reviews online and also hearing the same from other people we decided to give this place a shot yesterday. I have to say I was very impressed by the amazing food and the service. We ordered meat platter which comprised of chicken kabab, hariyali tikka and fish. The taste was pretty good compared to the Indian food I have had in Austin. We also ordered lamb shank rogan josh and have to say it was one of the most flavorful things I have eaten in a while. The lamb shank was falling off the bone and the curry was perfect! I would definitely go here again when in Dallas. The service was also very polite and quick. read more
