While on holiday on IoW, we rather fancied a curry one night so looked up local Indian restaurants for takeaway. We found the Red Chilli and had a delicious meal. Great flavours for the various curry dishes we had and very good naan bread also. Even my young daughter who enjoys spicy food, but is not (yet) a fan of Indian food really loved the vegetable curry accompanying our byriani and tucked into the other dishes we had also.

We ordered vegetable Bombay, naan and veg biryani.We have had to choose take away since there was no availability in dine. We requested to make naam thin and crispy but we realised that the request was unheard of. However, the food was very tasty and so satisfactory, almost authentic Indian taste. They gave us 2 papadams along with biryani which we really appreciate but we were expecting curd or raita also to make it complete. The overall experience is very good.

Came here on a recommendation, food was really good and probably one of the best naan breads I’ve had in a long time as well. Will definitely be going back for more.

The food was really really really tasty! We were blessed not to have to wait to be seated but that also meant the atmosphere was fairly quiet and it didn't help that the main sound system had an issue on that evening. Nevertheless, the waiter offered to play some background music from his phone, which was awesome! We were served very quickly and everyone's meal was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend eating here or ordering a takeaway from them. Could this be the best Indian restaurant on the Isle of Wight? ?Parking: After 6pm there are no parking restrictions on the street in front of the restaurant.

The four of us had an enjoyable curry in July 2023 - our friends had visited Red Chilli before and rated it highly. It's a smallish restaurant and the tables are close together. Food was good as well as the service.

Awful experience. Placed a £80 order for deliver, took 2 hours to arrive. Food was cold on arrival. Ate as was hungry, food was bland, cold and lacked any real taste. Disrespectful to serve this. Would not recommend, do not order here!

The food was terrible. The channa masala was dry and flavourless. The tandoori chicken tasted so awful that my friend didn’t eat his appetiser. The lamb main was excessively greasy and resulted in much of it being thrown away. Convinced that the mango chutney was watered down resulting in disposal. No idea what the neon green sauce was meant to be. What a complete waste of £30. Having tried many Indian take aways this has been the worst. Buy a ready meal and microwave, it’ll have more flavour and be much cheaper.

Hubbie got food poisoning from here. Delivery was executed by Masala Bay as well, which was only found out upon turning up to Red Chilli and finding it deserted with a sign on the door.

One of 2 local indian restaurants . This one is my preferred place for take away. However if you want to sit down in a spacious surrounding its a bit small. The Masala Bay restaurant has a lot more seating and still serves good food.Parking: No parking
We visited for dinner. The space was quite functional but not very atmospheric Most dishes ordered were well-enjoyed. The poppadoms were lovely. Naan was rather greasy. Unfortunately they don't offer coffee. Service was friendly but quite slow, but they were busy. They were very helpful in modifying dishes to suit us.

Take away ordered and rest on time. Chicken korma was nice, coconut flavour. Vegetable biryani was average. Chicken korai very oily but good spicy flavour. Naan breads ok but greasy. Popadoms too as well. Overall not bad but less oil would have made it better.

I can’t believe we went all the way to ruined our eve, ordered prawns dish, they served paneer dish with uncooked Naan blaming the order taker for chef mistake, both management and chef refused to replace or fix the problem. Still paid the full price for this horrible service don’t know why this restaurant are still running.

All the tables are sticky. Prawns like rubber. Curry sauce had no flavour. Rice was acceptable. Overall tasted like a meal my nephew would make, and he can't cook.

My sister and I visited this place 3years ago, we had such a lovely meal we were looking forward to the next. We visited again the other day and unfortunately could not say the same thing. Our starter came with the main meal - not good! My main dish was far too hot ( not what it said on the menu) so when asked if everything was ok, I did say it was too hot he said, I can correct that for you so took it away along with what my sister had left. I had asked to take mine away.... I still couldn't eat it, it was the same, infact I would go as far as to say he tipped what my sister had left into mine as it turned the colour of what she was eating!! The reason we will NOT go back is because my sister, after the meal, visited the toilet... And if you are Hot on hygiene as we are it begs the question what is the kitchen like!!!! I speak as I find, too many restaurants getting away with poor hygiene these days my eating out days are becoming fewer unfortunately. Where are the inspectors that should be checking these places.
Quite simply the best curry ever
