"I have eaten at Chillis more times than I can probably count over the years. Ive had small tables, large tables big and small take aways over the years and its perfect. Food is fresh with plenty of flavour not too oily or greasy either. Restaurant is always very clean and well looked after with excellent service too. Easily the best Indian around here."

"As a lover of Indian food I can honestly say I had the best Indian meal I have ever had here when I visited earlier this week. Every dish was excellent, the menu is interesting with lots of their own creations and the passion they have for delivering authentic real Indian food is exciting! Will definitely be back more frequently thank you. I added a pic of 2 of the dishes we sampled which were 10 out of 10!"

"Had a fantastic meal here with the family. They did chicken dippers, salad and chips for my daughter which she loved and made it easy for us to enjoy our Indian knowing she was well fed even if she kept using our sauces as dip!! They ensured she was well looked after. Lovely food with great service."

"Great food, clean and friendly. They even have Crocodile on the menue! It's a small place, open plan, sparkle marble type tables. Can be noisey, and it's up stairs so not good for disabled. We visited this place on Saturday night and it was also around the same time many were celebrating Bonfire night and we were expecting it to get busy later but it was very quiet! Menue has been updated along with prices but it's still reasonably priced. A good selection of dishes and they are updating all dishes for vegetarians with Tofu and Soya as the alternative to meats. Well worth a visit. Not a fan of the pink colored onion or the very bright sides to accompany the poppadoms but they brought out the more traditional (for me at least!) Onion salad so kept me topped up instead of a starter. Plenty of meat and sauce, and the Tofu dish for our friend was very tasty and plentiful that she had to take a bag home. New seating also made the place more bum friendly if you know what I mean!"
