    Delicious food. Great value. I wish the waiter would smile and be a bit more friendly. But otherwise all good

    We LOVE the Yellow Chilli. It’s a reliably delicious meal for people with all sorts of dietary preferences. The service is always friendly, and as semi-regular you will always receive a warm welcome and accommodation of seating preferences when possible. Can’t recommend this place enough. Do NOT miss the Irvine area’s very best Indian restaurant.

    Anytime we go to The Yellow Chilli we enjoy it and try to make the best of it. We were shocked to see how quiet it was last night! There was not one table on the outdoor patio seated. The food tasted good, however it remains overpriced for what you get for it which is a bit of a shame. We were on the outdoor patio and the lights were switched on closer to the end of our dining experience. There was no music on outside either so there wasn’t an ambiance.

    The experience was terrific, but certainly more expensive than I thought it would be - even under current inflationary circumstances.
