    This place was good! Came here with my partner and we decided to try it out. Easy to get a table even on a weekend night which made me a little nervous. Place was clean and service was great! Food was super flavorful and the menu had so many choices to choose from. Prices are higher but was expected. We'll definitely come back here and try some other items out!

    Amazing ambiance!

    One of the best modern Indian cuisine I've tried. If you ever come across visit, make sure you meet Jonathan! the coolest bartender and waiter! He gave the best recommendations! Honestly, the coolest dude! Thank you Jonathan for making our experience even better!! The ambiance was epic too!

    We arrived on a Thursday night and no need for a reservation as there are plenty of room in the restaurant. One thing I loved is that it's very quiet in there because of the high ceilings so it's great for people who are hard of hearing to enjoy our conversations. One thing was is that it's very dark at the tables so reading the menu was a little hard because the font was quite small. Even for my young eyes. We had ordered for mango lassi which were not as sweet but still delicious. For our dinner, we ordered Butter chicken, Puran Singh da Tariwaia Murgh and Baghare, Baingan and two kinds of rice and garlic naan. But somehow an order of shaam savera, paneer takatak was mistakenly added to our order so when the food came, it was quite a lot for four people. But they were kind enough to let us have the food anyways to try and took it off our bill. So glad we got to try these two extra items which all of it was excellent and will definitely come back again. The staff here was very friendly and attentive so I can't wait to come back. All were delicious!!

    My wife and I came here for lunch and found the restaurant to be slower than expected, but they also recently opened so I imagine that will change in time. We were promptly greeted by a smiling face at the front and were led to a table for two. They are in an old Piazza Del Pane building at Palm and Herndon and the ceilings are about 30 feet tall, which creates a bit of an echo but they have done a nice job with the furniture, lighting, etc. You can tell that the dining room is still you work in progress; they still don't even have their liquor license yet. Despite all of this, we found the food to be rather good. Not every item was our favorite, to be fair. For example the world famous khichdi was not to our liking. I'm sure others would love it but we will visit another menu option when we come back. My wife ordered the non-vegetarian maharaja platter which had a broad assortment of delicious things. I don't know the name of it, but it came with a small piece of fried fish that was really delightful. The rice with cumin was aromatic and tasty, the daal was well spiced and overall the presentation was great. I ordered a plate of butter chicken and found it to be delicious. I asked for them to make it a bit spicier than usual, and it came out a low medium. Perhaps in the future I will have to be more emphatic about spicy levels, but found the combination of flavors to be great overall. We would recommend that anybody who enjoys Indian food come to the yellow chili. I'm not sure about the international accords, or anything like that, but they serve up a nice plate of food. Their prices are a bit higher than some other restaurants, so don't be surprised by that. If you're looking for a better value the maharaja platter will probably serve you well. It was $35 for a fairly generous spread of food, a chaat, a dessert, and a drink.

    Our server Jyoti was nice and she recommended dishes. Food was 4.5/5. We went there for lunch and it was slower than expected. I know they've recently opened up but kitchen can be little faster especially if you only have 3-4 tables to serve. The place was very nice in terms of decor. Overall, I'd give this place 8.5/10 for food, ambiance and service.

    Came in with high expectations and left feeling fairly neutral. Yellow Chili Fresno delivered a mixed dining experience overall. We ordered the Adraki Dhaniya Paneer, Kachori Chaat, Kulcha, and Paneer Pulao. While the flavors were decent and the food was well-presented, a few dishes lacked the depth and balance I was hoping for, especially given the reputation of the restaurant. There was no spice and no Indian flavor, you can tell it was made for a different palette. Service was diligent and attentive, but at times it crossed into being a bit pushy, which disrupted the flow of the meal and made the experience feel rushed rather than relaxed. Not a bad meal by any means, but not one that stood out either. There's potential here, but for now it lands squarely in the middle, it wasn't quite worth trying if you're curious, just don't go in expecting to be wowed. Ambiance was what you would expect a newer restaurant to be such as ambient lighting and lively atmosphere.

    12/23/25 Brand new!! I called and they do to-go orders. The worker was very kind. They are different from the usual Indian restaurant. You could definitely they are new & learning. I was checking about breads to order and she had to check back a couple tunes with the chef? I think. I ended up ordering a Paratha &, they do not have samosas. I asked for something similar and the worker recommended the Chanajor Garam Tikki and I ordered that. Called shortly later and the worker was kind and said my order was ready. Arrived! Greeted by nice worker. Paid for order and was pretty shocked when she gave me the price of $27.07. Pricey!! Especially when I didn't even get a mein dish. Just a bread & appetizer. Hope it's good. She also had receipt issues at checkout. Asked if she could email it to me instead. I said yes, but then she brought a receipt. Guess she got it working. She had called and told me it was ready too and it looks like it wasn't. She asked me to sit down and wait. Called me up a little later. Restaurant is nice. Large bar upon walking in and lots of seating beyond it. Lunchtime!! Lachha Paratha 1/2 was tasty & good! Chanajor Garam Tikki is Really Good! Just like a samosa! Tasty GREAT sauces to go with it. Not sure it's worth the high price though. Mother felt the same! Good service & good Lachha Paratha & Chanajor Garam Tikki. High prices! Hope they get better in working it out to make it Better! Good luck!!

    Beautiful decor inside 9.5/10; high ceilings, great tableware. Service was good 8/10, seated right away. Potato & Cheese appetizer 7/10 was pretty good, although about 2 of them were undercooked and mushy. Chicken Biryani was solid 7.5/10; lacked a little flavor. Chicken Tikka Masala also solid 8/10; although I feel like it fell short from a tikka masala dish, I think their butter chicken might be more creamy & tastier than the tikka masala dish. The masala chicken was 10/10, incredible taste, it was just the sauce I felt was lacking that tikka masala taste you expect. Frozen Margarita was 9/10.

    The food was good and the service was amazing. Our server was Jasmine and she checked in on us often and helped us with the menu and deciding what to get.

    The buffet on the weekend during the day was exceptional 10/10 would recommend. Service was welcoming and ambiance was so great!

    I requested my dish extra spicy, and it delivered! My lips were delightfully burning, just the way I like it. The curry was rich in flavor and truly satisfying. Plus, the Buddha Margarita--what a fun name!--was absolutely delicious.

    If you're craving authentic Indian flavors, Chatore is an absolute must-visit. We had an amazing…read moretime here--from the warm atmosphere to the incredible food, everything was spot on. The standout for us was definitely the chole bhature--perfectly spiced, rich, and paired with soft, fluffy bhature that just melted in your mouth. The nutri kulcha was another highlight, packed with flavor and cooked just right. To top it off, the masala soda was refreshingly tangy and a great complement to the meal. And don't miss the fish pakore--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Overall, Chatore delivers a fantastic dining experience with truly delicious food. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!

    First time I've ever ran to Yelp to review!…read more First point and most important... WHY is everyone talking about the prices? Not only is this on par for Indian food. It's a lot more affordable than other restaurants. $5 for three Samosas? That's a killer appetizer for cheap! And they're good--some places put way too much seasoning on the outside. The menu: A lot more variety, and compared to other Indian restaurants the menu is easy to navigate and very Anglicized for newcomers to Indian food. The food: I accidentally ordered the wrong sandwich(I had seen the tikka roll on Yelps ig) and I got the tandoori sandwich but I am not complaining that was amazing and I didn't even know it came with fries. Butter chicken was medium and it was perfectly creamy, slightly spicy, soooo much sauce which is perfect because I dipped my sandwich AND samosas in there. I am so stuffed and I have food left for days(which is great bc if I love anything more than Indians food it's cold Indian leftover straight from the fridge) The service was great, young girl at the front was so sweet and helpful when I said it was my first time. Worth spending my money here at a family owned restaurant that serves up awesome food in a clean and open space--a must try!

Everyone was so welcoming from the get go. The best part about this restaurant was that they accommodate Jain restrictions and other allergies with almost everything on their menu.

Their bread pakora reminded me of my childhood in Mumbai. Everything here is made to order and the taste was really fresh. Our entire order was Jain friendly but tasted exactly it would taste if it wasn't Jain. I definitely recommend gajar halwa and kulfi, the combo when I mixed it was really delicious.
