The service on arrival was pleasant and efficient. Had popadoms double the amount we ordered, which made me wonder why...Why is because after waiting an hour and 10mins....a table which came after us got served with their food...apparently because they had no popodoms!!!!None of the staff told us it was over an hour wait for food...We questioned why the table who arrived a good 10mins before us had been served, and was told because they had no popodoms.This was the last straw. 1hr and 10mins just sat waiting for food in a restaurant was not good enough. So we left, because the waiter was trying to say we hadn't waited that long. And another diner actually interjected and said we had waited over an hour.This was met with much appreciation from other diners as they has also complained about the long wait.If you have a wait on food tell people on arrival and they can make an informed choice whether to wait or leave.

Review for a Restaurant:I had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant during my recent trip, and I must say it was a delightful find. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that set the stage for a memorable culinary experience.The food at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish I tried was not only delicious but also showcased the authenticity of the cuisine. From the first bite to the last, I savored the flavors and textures that truly transported me to the heart of the culinary tradition they represented.I was particularly thrilled to discover this restaurant during my trip. It added a layer of excitement and discovery to my journey, and I am grateful to have experienced the culinary treasures it had to offer.The service was impeccable, with a knowledgeable and attentive staff that went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was flawless. The attention to detail and genuine passion for their craft were evident in every aspect of the restaurant.I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a truly remarkable dining experience. You will undoubtedly appreciate the delicious and authentic food, as well as the warm and welcoming atmosphere. This restaurant is a true gem that should not be missed.

Up in this area for a few days and we were recommended red chilli for the local Curry House. We were not disappointed! Rang for a delivery service and spoke to the friendly and helpful staff including the chef who told us about his amazing fresh pilau rice he'd just made.Fast service ensued and my god, perfectly hot and tender chicken dishes arrived like straight out of the kitchen. Highly recommend this place. Well done guys x

I was recommended to have a delivery to the campsite we were staying for a family holiday. The food was terrible and the attitude from the delivery man was worse than the food! This company needs to understand that life is bigger than the picture! Let's hope that they make enough money ripping people off in the summer months to carry them through the winter months.

From the outside you may easily dismiss this place. Inside the resteraunt looks beautiful, clean and fresh. The staff are very well presented in waistcoats. Most importantly the food was really good. The starters were superb. I very seldomly review but this was worth the time.Shah was the man behind the non alcoholic bar and was very professional!Good luck to them.

Very disappointed. Onion bhajis were hard and dry. Saag aloo was bland. Chicken passanda was watery and tasteless, and one item from the order was missing, which may have been a good thing in retrospect. The only item we enjoyed was the popadom. We were so looking forward to our first meal from Red Chilli, but it will be the only time we order from there. Treat yourself to a microwave dinner instead.

Came here 5 years ago on our last visit to Ashbourne. We were not disappointed on our return visit. Good food, well presented. Service was efficient but then we were the only people in the restaurant. The curries weren’t as hot as we were expecting. Maybe the waiter looked at us and told the kitchen to dial down the spices. Apart from that we had an enjoyable family meal.
Can’t fault the restaurant, which was very clean and well organised. Staff were friendly and efficient. Menu was varied. My gripe ( and is is probably an unfair comparison as the Indian restaurant where I used to live was exceptional) is that the food was a bit bland, lacking any depth of flavour, which is not the same as adding more chilli. Please spice the food up a bit, chef.

Excellent food - Thank You! Travelling up from London I was looking for a good Indian restaurant for the evening to enjoy a meal. Having not visited Ashbourne before I picked the Red Chilli. The restaurant was very clean, cutlery, tables, decor, all shiny, fresh and neatly presented. The food was excellent!! Garlic rice, a Chef's special curry and a couple of popadoms to start. I would give the Red Chilli for food, flavour and service, Five Stars and would recommend and revisit again. Thank you to Kalum too who I believe was helping with the table service and orders. Most attentive and very professional. Always greeted me with Sir and was knowledgable about the house dishes. Best regards to you all at Red Chilli James

We went for dinner for the first time at this restaurant. We came to Derbyshire for a holiday from Upminster. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. We highly recommend this place to eat and we will definitely come again if we are visiting locally!
