" The Yellow Chilli has a unique charm and a well-curated menu that draws from traditional Indian dishes. I especially loved their mixed appetizer platter that gave a taste of various flavors. The mains were decent but didn’t quite wow me as I hoped. The service, however, was attentive and the staff was genuinely friendly. I think it’s a wonderful place for casual dining, but those seeking intensely spiced food might be left wanting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had one of the best dining experiences at The Yellow Chilli! Everything we ordered was remarkable, from starter to dessert. The Pav Bhaji had the right amount of spice and was very flavorful, and the dessert stole the show! I was blown away by how good the gulab jamun tasted—perfectly balanced. The staff were on point, ensuring our glasses were always topped up. I left with a full belly and a happy heart. Highly recommend visiting this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my last visit, I hoped for more than what I received. The Chicken Biryani was a letdown; it lacked the rich, flavorful essence that I expected from a dish that's supposed to be vibrant. The service was decent, but it felt slow during peak hours with some mix-ups in orders. Though the atmosphere is lively and the cocktails were delightful, it seems that they might be relying too much on the name 'Sanjeev Kapoor' instead of focusing on crafting a consistent experience. Still, I think it's worth another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great time at The Yellow Chilli Tustin! The flavors were bold and rich, offering a fantastic representation of authentic Indian cuisine. Both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian options were exceptional. The spicy lamb curry was wonderfully cooked and went perfectly with the naan. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I appreciate the effort they put into crafting an authentic experience. Will certainly return and highly recommend this place for anyone craving Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Yellow Chilli with colleagues for a post-work dinner. The atmosphere was lively, and the décor is quite appealing. We started with some appetizers, and while they were tasty, the mains did not match the high expectations I had. The Butter Chicken lacked the creamy richness that is often the highlight of such dishes. The service was decent, but there were a few delays that impacted our overall experience. All in all, a fine place for casual dining, but I may try other places next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing glowing recommendations about The Yellow Chilli, I finally decided to visit for dinner with my family. The ambiance was lovely, and the decor had an elegant touch. We were excited about the menu, but I felt that some dishes were oversalted, particularly the Rogan Josh. It overshadowed the complex flavors that the dish could have delivered. Despite this, the staff were friendly and attentive, which made the overall experience pleasant. I would be willing to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting The Yellow Chilli was a delightful experience from start to finish. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was vibrant, setting the stage for a fantastic meal. I went with friends, and we shared several dishes; the Chicken Malai Tikka was a significant highlight. The dessert, a rich Kheer, was also fantastic. If you’re looking for genuine Indian dishes, this place should be on your radar. Can’t wait for my next visit—it may very well become my go-to spot! " (*Curated Review*)
