Disappointing. Generally the food was good but the vegetarian side dishes are presented, and priced, as separate vegetarian meals. They are not; they are side dishes like any other Indian restaurant. The service was a let down. One of our party had a hair in her dish; the young waitress was unable to deal with this. A nervous giggle was all she could manage. Not her fault; clearly the waiting staff are not trained. But if you put a 12.5% service charge on the bill you need to be better than this.

Been here twice already food is really tasty and authentic. Service is excellent too. I will be back soon and recommend to my friends too.

Watery bland tasteless food. The delivery came with two smashed up popadoms that I had paid for. Onion bhajis were cold. The rest of the £60 meal for two was watered down slop. Will never order from here

Only been once before, but have to say everything was good. No issues or complaints about food or service.

Superb food and service. A wonderful fusion of flavours and regions. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

Very slow service, single course meal taking 2.5hrs. Great food.

Fantastic curry house near Newbury train station. Great menu selection, where you can customise the heat of every menu item depending on your preference. Food was first class. Good service and pleasant decor. Highly
Absolutely superb restaurant! Food was delicious - one of the best curries I’ve had in a while! The staff are excellent and lovely. Don’t miss out on the dosa!

Scrumptious food. Excellence service, although a bit pricier than other Indian restaurants, it’s 100% worth paying a few more. Definitely going back for more .

Went for a family get together of 11 and we all had a fantastic meal, great service, ambience, nothing was too much trouble and the staff were very friendly - would highly recommend a visit - very reasonably priced for the quality of food too.

This was our first visit to Chilis in many years - it always used to be good but didn't know if anything had changed. The gentleman who took our phone reservation was extremely polite, and the welcome when we arrived warm and smiling. The menu is pleasantly different from the normal standard sauces, with a page of main specialities and another of vegetarian options. Within reason, depending on the dish, they can be supplied mild, medium, hot etc. It was a nice change not to be automatically offered papadams (although they are available) - too often they spoil your appetite. All of our starters were delicious, as were our mains. The chicken was tender and high quality, the sizzling prawns generous, and the dal makhani, made with black lentils, just delicious. The bill includes a 12.5% service charge which another reviewer commented on - maybe a little steep but on the other hand the service was immaculate and again friendly and informative, so we didn't begrudge it. Overall, the total bill was very reasonable given that we went away full and completely happy. We look forward to returning, sooner rather than later.

First time visiting, recommended by a friend. We were staying at a local hotel in Speen called the Hare and Hounds. We ate there most nights but wanted a change of pace. The food was excellent. The service was also acceptable. We would recommend this place to others.
