Honestly the food tasted too tangy. We ordered three different curries and all three were very tangy. The appetizers were good though. Their appetizer and naan platter is also a good deal if you go in a big group. We tried their mocktails and they were delicious.The ambience and service is really good. The staff was super helpful and courteousThey are well informed of the dishes on the menu and guided us on the options.Will definitely give them another chance.Edit: the food quality has improved significantly since our last visit which was a few months ago. Loved the experience.

The chicken kebab appetizers were really good. Cant go wrong with masala papad either. Every dish we ordered was good which is not very common at most restaurants. Well be back whenever we are in the area next time!

We really enjoyed our visit and meal. We arrived when they just opened so we were the second group there. The restaurant started getting busy as we came to the end of our visit and the atmosphere picked up.My only issue was that while the food was good, from my perspective, it was not great. For the prices we paid, I hoped for better. Then again, this type of food is not my favorite, and like I said, it got pretty busy as time went on, so clearly, there are other opinions.Also, every single item is a la carte, which drives the price up quickly. I would have liked to see that at least plain rice came with the items or for the table with the option to upgrade.

We went to the yellow chilly with a Lot of hope since we have tried the one in Bay Area and enjoyed it.The food was no where close to what I was expecting it to be. It lacks flavour and taste and none of it tasted even close to what it should taste like.Malai chicken tikka 1/5 - no creamy flavour only tangy with a lot of lemon and sprinkled a lot of red chilly powder. Didnt taste at all like malai chicken tikkaNalli Rogan josh 1/5- the gravy was very thin consistency as compared to what a roghan josh. It was more like curry again the curry was very very tangy and lacked all the other flavours.Palakh paneer 2.5/5garlic naan, lachcha paratha and jeera rice was decent! I mean you cant go wrong with the basics.The service is decent. The manager was kind enough to replace the roghan josh to a chicken but I there is alot of room for improvement. Food really needs to be worked upon.The 2 stars are mainly for the service.

I have been here a few times before, but today we were here with a larger party to celebrate a birthday & wedding anniversary. The decor and ambiance of this restaurant is modern and beautiful. I wouldn’t suggest their alcoholic drinks, but definitely their food! We had the veg and non-veg platter. A lot to try and sample here. As someone who can’t handle any spicy food, everything I tried was flavorful, authentic and not spicy at all. Great servers, attentive and friendly.

Special thanks to the staff for the surprise dessert (Kesari kulfi with Rabdi) when they found out that we were celebrating doctoral graduation of my wife.Heres my full review :The Yellow Chilli Tustin is a popular Indian restaurant located in the heart of Tustin. The restaurant has a large and varied menu, with something to please everyone. The food is authentic Indian cuisine, made with fresh ingredients. The service is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed.I recently had the opportunity to dine at The Yellow Chilli Tustin with my family. All of the dishes were cooked perfectly and were full of flavor. We also enjoyed the bread basket, and its perfect way to experience all types of Indian bread that they serve. But if you have to choose one, choose peshawari naan. It contains nuts, its a little sweet and the mouth feels just so perfect.For dessert, we shared the Shaahi Tukda, which was the perfect amount of sweet and crispy. If youre someone who doesnt like too much sugar, this dessert is for you.Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience at The Yellow Chilli Tustin. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Indian meal.Pros:Delicious foodInviting atmosphereLarge and varied menuSomething to please everyoneCons:Service needs improvements.Can be crowded on weekendsPrices can be highParking can be difficult to findTl:DRThe food and dining experience is amazing overall except the restaurant seems short staffed. Hardly 2-3 servers for this size of restaurants doesnt do it justice. Places like this shouldnt let barkeep serve; barkeep should always be available at the bar.The cocktails have fancy names but arent very special. I tried Ayurveda cocktail and it was just as good as ginger whiskey smash with some more spices. Did expect better. Wine collection is good too.

This place has some great Indian food. Great selection for meat eaters and vegetarians, including dairy free options.The atmosphere is beautifully decorated. It is very inviting, and the seating is comfortable.My only complaint is we were the 1 of 2 in the restaurant and the 2nd to order, and as the place filled up, we were the last to be served. Took more than 30 minutes. An even larger party came in and started getting served before us. So, Im not sure what that was about. Other than the longer wait for the food, the wait staff was good and on top of everything else.As far as price, this is one of those restaurants where everything is purchased separately. So you can get paneer sang, but you have to order rice and Naan separately. The cost is about $25 per person if you get rice and bread. Oh, and this is family style eating. However, if youre on your own for lunch, an appetizer would be a great choice. They are nice in size.I would recommend this place. It is delicious.

I accidentally noticed this restaurant while going to Costco, later found out this was part of Sanjeev Kapoors restaurant chain. Ambience was great and food was amazing, true to their branding found it authentic, not the usual curry type masala found in Indian restaurants in US. We ordered Lawrence road murgh (chicken) tikka, Dum ghost (lamb) Biryani, Puran Singh da tariwala murgh (chicken curry), butter roti and mango lassi _ see photos for food pics. Absolutely delicious, we enjoyed the meal and mango lassi was the icing on the cake. Its slightly expensive compared to other restaurants but worth it. Will update after trying other dishes next time.

Delicious food! We normally dont eat at Indian restaurants cos my wife and I are good cooks ourselves. However, the food here definitely tasted like it was from a celebrity chef restaurant! Thank you Mr. Sanjeev Kapoor!The staff was friendly, and the special mention to the Kerala spice trail cocktail - out of this world!!Certainly the best Indian restaurant Ive eaten at in the US.

Horrible service at this place for an average food quality. We were party of 2 and visited on a Friday night. Lots of parking space is available around. The restaurant was not fully occupied with 4-4 tables empty. For whatever reasons, we were told to wait 25 minutes even though the table was available. When we finally got the table that empty the whole time, we ordered. Harippa Paneer Tikka, Tariwala Murgh, Naan, Pyaz Mirch ki Roti, and Rasmalai and 2 glass of water.It took 15+ minutes and two times asking just to get us water. The food was of absolute average quality. You can find better restaurants in Artesia. Between every course we waited for 15 minutes with almost half empty restaurant.We had to repeatedly ask for service and they would forget everytime that there is a table to serve. Nobody bothered to take plates even after the full course meal. The dessert was put at the corner of the table waiting to fall without taking up the plates. We requested service multiple time and there was always a new person.For a name as big as Sanjiv Kapoor, the restaurant is an absolute disappointment and doesn’t live up to hype. Wouldn’t recommend neither visit again.

We visited this place 2 years back and liked it very much, Recently went again, but it was very crowded and service wasnt as expected, no one came around to ask how we were doing, the server didnt even ask what drinks we would like to have while taking order. I dont its living up to the experience we would like from a Sanjeev Kapoor restaurant. Food was good, I specifically liked the paneer appetizer.

Amazing food! Its been a while since Ive had amazing Indian food. The last time was a couple years ago in Corona in a place called Mantra. This Yellow Chilli place was very comparable. Only down side is that it is pretty pricey.

From the moment I walked into Yellow Chilli in Tustin, I was greeted with a vibrant and welcoming ambiance that resonates with its name. The interior, infused with a blend of contemporary and traditional design elements, instantly sets the mood for a delightful dining experience.The menu is a captivating tapestry of flavors and dishes that celebrate the richness of Indian cuisine. Each item speaks of the expertise and passion with which it has been prepared. During my visit, I was particularly impressed with their rendition of some classic dishes, all of which showcased a modern twist while retaining the essence of traditional flavors.Their service is impeccable. The staff is attentive, well-versed in the menu, and more than willing to offer recommendations based on your palate. They exude a warmth that makes you feel not just like a customer, but a valued guest.What truly sets Yellow Chilli apart, however, is the consistency in the quality of their dishes and the experience they offer. From the appetizers to the main course and the desserts, every dish was a delightful burst of flavors and textures.For anyone looking to explore Indian cuisine in its finest form, or even for those familiar with it, Yellow Chilli in Tustin is a must-visit. Its not just about food; its about a gastronomic journey that leaves you satiated yet craving for more.Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again soon!

Consistency if you looking for Indian comfort food and decent flavours..We always have butter chicken and BmGosht here..with consistent flavour.. this time we also tried non veg platter...I will say its 👍 👌 if u craving Indian tandoori protein..nothing extra ordinary about it except the tikka which was quite juicy..Overall decent and worth the $$.

The ambiance is great. Staff was friendly but had trouble understanding. I was surprised that in an indian restaurant.. they did not understand common Indian side dishes. Also food is really really customized to american pallette with Indian name.Food was fresh and well cooked. But it did not have the spiciness that an authentic Indian dish has. It was not even close.Some of the drinks and appetizers were good. Main dishes curry.. was bland. Presentation was good.

They don’t let us sit we’re we want to as they say they can’t serve till that place even though it was empty and we have right to sit wherever we want. Their food is good and one server is good but others seem as if they are doing it forcefully without a greet and no professional etiquettes which Such a big chef’s restaurant employees must have.Door dash service they take one and half hour almost which is too long time in which one can drive and come back.

Really liked the place. Ambience is good. Food was okay and quantity was good as well. Good crowd and sit out is something which I liked. It’s pricey, it’s not worthy to spend on regular basis. But I just want to give a try since it’s Sanjeev’s kapoor kitchen. I ordered all veggie items - pictures are attached.

Im often very careful about leaving a review on my first visit. After all, a single point in time isnt a good reflection of an experience. There are some exceptions, however.As expected, we were seated after an open table reservation toward their outdoor section. It was a beautiful 60°f winter evening and the heaters did a great job at keeping us warm. The clock went past 25 minutes, as we sat there wondering, will there be someone who will notice us? As the host was sitting at another table down, she checked on us and asked if someone was helping us. She then called upon someone. Stuff happens, all good.After ordering, and enjoying the table conversation, we started to wonder when will our food come out. It took the kitchen nearly 40 minutes to get our first appetizer out. No exaggeration. The presentation was good, but the food was cold; room temperature at best.Slowly all our appetizers started to trickle out. Not a single appetizer was warm let alone hot.We let the server know about the temperature. He responded by saying theyll check and came back with no response.Getting it right wasnt on the menu!There was a 20 minutes delay until our main course came out. The presentation was good yet again, to our utter disappointment, everything was at room temperature at best.The taste nor freshness was acceptable. The biryani looked old and had rice that had dried from overheating! The naan were soggy and cold. The eggplant was runny, uncooked, and cold. The paneer was hard and cold. Disappointed all the way!Yellow Chili Restaurant is a brand owned by celebrity chef, Sanjeev Kapoor. Hes known to create a fine dining experience using thousands of spices and flavors, never compromising on the quality, texture, taste or experience. Our experience was anything but that.From the service, to the food and everything in between, our experience here was not what youd expect from eating out let alone a celebrity chef restaurant.I truly hope things change as its a real shame to the name and whats expected from a cuisine that precedes its name and reputation!

My recent visit to The Yellow Chilli restaurant left me with a profoundly unsettling experience that I feel compelled to share. This incident was not only unfortunate but also raised serious concerns about safety and customer care at the establishment.As my family and I settled at a table, we encountered an issue that, in hindsight, could have been easily avoided. The tables were quite small, leaving very little space to accommodate both our food and the fire candle that was placed on each table was moved my side of the corner. This spatial constraint created a hazardous situation that I never anticipated.As I was in the process of getting up from my seat, In a terrifying turn of events, the flame from the candle caught onto my hair, instantly engulfing it. Shockingly, not a single staff member or fellow diner came to my aid or even made an effort to address the unfolding emergency. I had to rely on my own instincts and, with great urgency, extinguished the fire with my hands. Thankfully, the situation did not escalate further, and I am relieved that the fire did not reach my scalp. However, the incident resulted in a significant loss of my hair.What was most disheartening about this experience was the complete lack of response from everyone present in the restaurant, including the staff. It was as if they were mere spectators, passively observing the distressing situation unfolding right in front of them. Their indifference to my predicament was truly disconcerting.After the incident, I left the restaurant silently and in shock. It was only later, outside the establishment, that a staff member finally approached me and asked if I was okay. Even then, it was only after I raised my concerns that I received a simple apology, which seemed inadequate given the gravity of the situation.In light of this harrowing experience, I strongly urge The Yellow Chilli Tustin restaurant to immediately implement safety measures when using any form of open flame or candles, such as battery-operated candles or long glass coverings with real fire. Furthermore, it is evident that the restaurants already sufficient lighting negates the need for candles on the tables.Above all else, I implore the management to prioritize the safety and well-being of their customers. This incident has left me deeply shaken, and I hope that this review serves as a catalyst for change and ensures that no one else has to endure such a frightening and avoidable ordeal in the future.

Everything was satisfactory, except for the behavior of the staff member who took our orders. He had a mustache and his demeanor was notably inconsistent. I observed that if a customer placed a large order, he treated them with noticeable respect and kindness. However, with smaller orders, his attitude was dismissive, almost as if the customer was a burden. This experience was off-putting. Aside from this issue, everything else was good, especially the food, which I can confidently say was excellent.

Went there last night for dinner with my family, the resturant is no doubt busy however the staff is friendly and polite, they do check in with all the guests which we saw. The food is pretty good and freshly cooked, they did not feel like reheated frozen food . This is one of the reason it takes a little while for the food to arrive however is worth the wait. Ordered the panner tikka, chicken malai tikka, jeera rice and the onion n mirchi roti . They came out really good and tasted well . The kulfi was pretty good as well.

This was a fairly low rush time. However, the person taking orders was unavailable for the most part and we had to ask around for him a couple of times.The food quality and ambience was one of the best for Indian restaurants in greater Los Angeles area. Highly recommend the tandoori roti in breads if you are interested in the healthier whole wheat option.

This place is great!!! It is not your cheap Indian place where the food is inside trays ready to go. Here you go to sit down and to enjoy the atmosphere of the place and tha friendly staff who can help you decide what to get if you are confused. Their cocktails are very tasty as well. The food was great. I have gotten fish, chicken, lamb dishes and none of them disappoints. I will definitely recommend this place and I will definitely come back many more times.

Probably the best tasting Indian food Ive had in Orange County. Atmosphere is upscale, along with the service. They even have a bar that serves Don Julio 1942 and 1913 Louis XIII.

Its good, chef Kapoors recipes are legit albeit a bit pricey for what your are getting. They do go above and beyond in terms of presentation and decor 10/10 for that. Dishes are all expertly crafted and perfectly prepared yummy across the menu. Try the unique and fun drinks both alcohol and non-alcoholic.

The food was delicious and the presentation was amazing. I would say this is one of the best restaurants in town and it lives upto the expectations of a Sanjay Kumar restaurant. The dishes that i tasted were all very authentic and in right proportions. I will definitely revisit th is place next time when Im around. The dishes are a little expensive but the taste justifies the price..!!

+the food was very tasty!-the food was expensive for how little you received. $9 for a small dish of rice is excessive. For a potato dish that cost $20, you got two meatball-sized potato dumplings halved, and about 80% gravy.-the proportions were bad. There was a ton of gravy left at the end of our meal, and nothing to eat it with despite ordering a side of rice and naan.-the wait was excessive. I would say we were waiting around 40 minutes for our food to arrive. This might be an unusual wait time for them, but it still didnt add to our experience.If youve got plenty of cash, time on your hands, and youre not really *that* hungry, then come on down to the Yellow Chilli!

We went for a team lunch and had several platters and dishes family style. I was able to taste a bit of everything and it was all delicious/high quality! Tender lamb, juicy chicken dishes, great paneer, wonderful breads beyond your normal Naan, and delicious rice! My water glass never went empty, and the spices were varied throughout the dishes to a very pleasant degree!

Fine dining at its best but definitely comes at a price.I was really excited to check out this place as soon as it opened. Grown-up watching Sanjeev Kapoor cooking shows since childhood. Yellow chili is a big chain in India but never got a chance to try their food before.This place is easy to find in Tustin Marketplace, and parking, as usual, is difficult to find in front of the restaurant in this area especially over the weekend. We visited on a Saturday night, we were lucky to have found a table but usually, there is a wait. I am not sure if they have yelp waiting yet, would be nice though. The service I must say is exceptional. I was really looking forward to the drink menu, as I love to try new cocktails at different places. I love my whiskey cocktails, so it was tough to decide as they have a multitude of options. Finally, went ahead with The AyurvedaThis is definitely fine dining at its best but does come at a price that being said I am not sure if I can afford to be a regular here without hurting my pocket.DrinksThe Ayurveda: Monkey shoulder blended scotch, Amaro Vallet, Angostura bitters with honey, ginger, and lemon.

I was here a few days ago with my family visiting from Italy. They had been here last August so wanted to go again as they wanted to try the Butter Chicken again. While ordering, they lady specifically mentioned Medium Spicy and when we were served, it was much Spicy even for me. We conveyed this to her. Overall a bad experience. PS: we are not used to the plates being snatched away half way through the dinner. Your team should respect the time needed to enjoy the food and should not focus so much on taking away the plates, that too on a Thursday evening when the resturant was not fully occupied.

3.5 stars. I dont know what I expected but I guess I wanted to be more wowed? The decor is pretty classy. The servers are good. We ordered the harippa chili paneer, the murg angaar bedgi as appetizers and the chicken chettinad and the murg survedaar as entrees with a bread basket and the chicken biryani.Despite asking for the most spicy food, we felt it couldve been spicier. The paneer was ok, more flavorful with the chutney than by itself. The chicken was very good - lots of marination and tasty. The chutney also made that better.For the entrees, I liked the chettinad more than the survedaar, it was well cooked. Ive had spicier chettinad curries here in Artesia and San Diego but this was pretty good. The breads were decent. I actually liked the peshwari paratha the most. It was loaded as the name suggests. Im a huge garlic naan fan but didnt like it as much as the peshwari.The biryani was disappointing. My standards for biryani are high because of all the good places Ive had biryani in, here in SoCal so this one did not match up.We got a jaljeera type drink - masala mint cooler (non-alcoholic) and I loved it.Overall, I guess I expected to be super wowed since its Sanjeev Kapoors restaurant but was not, but its nice.

The food and service were great. We enjoyed the various flavors in each dish. The mango martini was delightful. Our server was helpful in guiding us on our order selection to avoid the highly spicy menu items. Enjoyed the lamb, eggplant and rice dish the following day.

Very trendy and chic vibe at this Indian restaurant 🌶 in Tustin. The food was tasty and fresh. The garlic naan 🫓 was very tasty. My only complaint is that the main entrees do not come with any sides such as rice and/or naan. You have to order everything separately, even though the prices are very high for entrees.

This is my third time to come back here to have my order to go. Food here is good. Customer service is ONE star, or even a Zero star if this is an option.At 11:30 am, I was waiting outside. The door wasnt opened. There is a lady was inside of the restaurant, and she completely ignored or she doesnt even acknowledge a customer was waiting outside. I looked at business hours was posted 11:30 am is open time. I then walked to other location, then came back. The door was opened, I stepped inside the restaurant, and saw no one was inside the restaurant, I called for order, and no one inside was responding. I said out loud I need to place order please! no one was responded. Fortunately, a manager, He just walked in and he helped me with my order.The people attitude here are ignorant, and arrogant. A Dont care attitude. It is terrible, and their prices are very expensive. to me expensive is ok, but their attitude are arrogant! I hope this restaurant will last for a while! Strong Chlorine like smell inside the restaurant too! and hoping people work here should not be racist!

Went with a friend on a Sunday evening in July. Food was great! Definitely a lot of food, and even the leftovers made for dinner the next 2 days for me. We had the Mixed veg platter for appetizers, and loved the tikki and the veg rolls. The masala papad was a bit on the spicier side. For main course, we got the adraki dhaniya paneer and ghara dum ke aloo, along with bread basket, mussa dal, and plain rice. In hindsight, the bread basket with one main course plus dal would have been enough food for two. Service was a bit on the slower side, and it took around 30-40 minutes between placing the order and getting the entrees. But the food was great, so will go again!

I originally wanted to go to Coco Ichibanya (my previous favorite curry spot), but we couldnt find parking, so we went to The District area where Yellow Chilli is .Now, it IS pretty pricey for Indian food but IMO its worth it! Every entree is roughly ~$20, NOT including rice or naan bread, so dont expect to pay less than 30 a person overall. I will say though that the rice felt like a shareable portion, so for 2 people i would recommmend getting 1 rice and 2 garlic naan bread to go with your 2 entrees. Tried the butter chicken and tikki chicken; both amazing and it was probably the most flavorful curry ive tasted of any type (Indian, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc). The naan bread and rice was cooked perfectly too. I totally recommend trying this place at least once, even if you think it looks overpriced.

Solid 4. A great Indian place that is not indimitating to those of us who are not Indian. Went there for a retirement party. I was the only non Indian in the group of 15+....and everything was Vegetarian, but delicious. The roasted Paneer was amazing....service was friendly and attentive. But the kitchen was a bit slow.... Especially when we ordered Naan......will have to come back to try the non Vege.....This is my fav indian place after Irvines Clay Oven closed its door in 2020

Food was pretty bad for an Indian placeOversalted and underflavorer biriyani, bland and poor chicken curry.Service was pretty bad too, the wait to even get our order taken or some water for the table was about 20 minsAnd even longer for us to get the check when we had asked alreadyOverall 2/5 experience and food :/Only redeeming quality is the place looks nice

We went to this location after going to the location in Bay Area, Danville. The service and the food was horrible. The food literally seemed microwaved and we had the server come up to us twice once to take the order and the other to deliver the food to our table. The atmosphere was nice but the service and food were terrible. Do not recommend going to this location.

This restaurant offered a warm ambiance and attentive service, but the food fell short of delivering the vibrant and flavorful experience one expects from authentic Indian cuisine. The dishes lacked the usual spiciness and depth of flavor, leaving a rather underwhelming impression overall.

My recent visit to The Yellow Chilli Tustin restaurant left me quite disappointed. I had high expectations, but unfortunately, the dining experience did not live up to them.Starting with the samosas, I was disappointed to find that they were not made fresh. Freshly prepared samosas can make a significant difference in taste and quality, and this oversight was disappointing.The mint chicken appetizer was decent but didnt stand out. It served its purpose as an appetizer, but I was hoping for a more memorable start to the meal.The vegetable biryani with paneer was a letdown. It lacked the rich and aromatic flavors that one expects from a good biryani. It tasted bland and did not leave a lasting impression.While the lamb curry looked visually appealing, it fell short in terms of flavor. It lacked the savory depth and spices that make a curry truly enjoyable.The Murgh Survedaar chicken curry was just okay. It didnt offer anything remarkable and left me wanting more in terms of taste and excitement.To top it off, the desserts, which are often the highlight of a meal, were a disappointment. They were overrated in both quality and quantity. Desserts should leave a lasting impression, but these failed to do so.In summary, my experience at The Yellow Chilli restaurant was underwhelming. The lack of freshness in some dishes, the absence of flavors in others, and the overall mediocrity of the meal left me feeling unsatisfied. I had hoped for a more memorable dining experience, but unfortunately, this visit did not meet my expectations.

We reached there by 9:15pm, there was a lady at counter who received us and told us the about the wait time, and told us to come back at 9:50pm. We went in at that time, the guy who took our order was rude and constantly reminding about the kitchen closure. It was our first time and I didn’t felt he helped us order. We ordered few starters, curry and bread. The food was delicious and flavorful. At the end we ordered biryanis, we were really disappointed with biryanis, they just sent the left over biryani. I could hardly spot any pieces in lamb biryani and chicken biryani was spoiled. I understood that it was closing time, but they shouldn’t have let us in if they couldn’t serve. The worst part is we were a party of 6 and been charged 20% gratuity. I have only seen maximum of 18% gratuity never a 20%. Still I would suggest going to this place for there food and atmosphere.

We’ve eaten here several times and always love it but tonight was exceptional!! The tandoori lamb chops were the best we’ve ever had….even after eating at a top “5 star” restaurant in London. We’ve never had a bad experience here for food, drinks, or service! The staff have are incredibly helpful and so nice!

I have tried the yellow chilli in the Bay Area and walked in with the same expectation that I can order the things I ordered before and it can’t go wrong, but I was greatly disappointed. I think it was very ordinary and any other cheaper restaurant would have pulled it off better. They can’t say it’s Sanjeev Kapoor name brand, it didn’t live up to the brand unfortunately.The ambiance and service was good, can’t complain much but we came here for the food and it was very disappointing.The shyam savera only had 3 of those cottage cheese spinach tikki. In the bay area they had 4 of them and the gravy was so rich and flavorful and you could feel the inclusion of spinach. Here it was so tangy like any other tikka masala gravy. Completely different from what we had.The laccha parantha had no layers at all!! I ordered tandoori roti and laccha parantha they felt the same!! It was so weird but we didn’t have the energy to complain to the servers.The biriyani also came in an ordinary serving bowl instead of the dum kind that they serve in the Bay Area, also the rice and meat was so dry and they only have a small cup of raita so it was hard to eat the dry rice and meat as if you were eating a day old food.The chandi kaliyan was tender and it can’t go wrong with such a simple grilled meat.The drinks were okay, can’t go wrong with it or the bartender did a good job.Overall, never coming back again unless i am going to the Bay Area location. I hope it improves here at Tustin.

My cousin s were craving Indian food, and really wanted to bring me here so we made reservations for Friday night!I appreciate that were sat outside but had a light heater going as there was a cool breeze.We ordered the Paneer and Mushroom appetizers to share and it was just enough food to leave room for our mains. My favourite was the Mushrooms, I cant remember what they were stuffed with but they were extremely flavourful. The green chutney that both came with had the perfect hint of coriander - definitely not overwhelming (and I like coriander). I liked it so much I ordered an extra serving of it to eat with my lamb chops!Onto my main which was just another appetizer - I had the tandoori lamb chops, which were cooked perfectly, it was like the meat was ready to fall off the bone. I got more of the lamb taste than the tandoori flavour but nonetheless they were delicious and the perfect amount of food for me!

Bunch of us visited this place after a really long time during lunch hours and ordered some food that we would really recommend is, A good punjabi style Amritsari machi, puaran singh da tariwala murgh, a really unique curry adraki dhaniya paneer, shaam savera which was their signature dish we ordered this with some garlic naan, laccha partha with good layers & Peshawari naan the quantity and taste was really goodWe ended with pistachios kulfi with rabri .Also we orderd some non-alcoholic drinks like masala mint cooler and litchi linda which was very refreshing.Overall the staff was really good, interactive and the food was tasty as well.

I legit cried; food that hits your soul. From decor to food quality this place hit all my check marks.We are originally from Mexico and wanted to try something new from home, we walked into 5 different restaurants before settling here for the evening; did not disappoint my friends. If anything it brought me back to life.Its not about quantity its about quality and flavor here so dont brush them off from the previous comments.Thank you for sharing your culture, the food was 10/10 will be returning to try the pickle dish next 😊

My recent visit to Yellow Chilli turned out to be an unexpected and delightful surprise birthday dinner!We kickstarted the evening with two stunning drinks: the Watermelon Rose Margarita and the Asian Superstar FDR. Both beverages not only tasted exquisite but were also presented beautifully, setting the stage for what was to come.For appetizers, we dove into the Harippa Paneer Tikka and the Channa Zor Garam Tikki. I must emphasize how incredible the paneer tikka was - quite possibly the best Ive had in the US! Its a treat for vegetarians like me to discover such a vast array of options that are not just available but are also meticulously crafted for taste. The Adraki Dhaniya Paneer and Aloo Kofta Paneer were divine. They literally melted in the mouth, and even though I was brimming, I couldnt resist but continue indulging because of how irresistibly tasty everything was.To wrap up this gastronomic adventure, I indulged in a delectable kulfi dessert, marking a perfect end to an impeccable meal.For anyone reading this, Yellow Chilli is a gem and comes highly recommended from a food lover like me!

Great place to have Indian food and hang out with friends and family. The staff is friendly and respectful. The flavors are unique and you can taste the freshness in food. Planner tikka for starters is one of my favorite dishes. Shaam Savera and Adraki dhaniya paneer is delicious and you would surely enjoy it. Mango lassi is fresh. The cocktails are with an Indian twist and interesting.

Amazing food and experience dining at Yellow Chilli. It was a pleasant surprise to find an authentic dessert such as Shahi Tukda in the menu. It is perfect for people who do not like a lot of sugar in their desserts.Also, loved the lazeez chicken, hara paneer and chana Zor Garam tiki. Definitely recommended with a big thumbs up.

Bad food. Not worth a try. I suggest to go to other restaurants. Bread was not even baked. It really bad for customers because it can cause food poisoning and bad health issues as food was not baked fully. Someone has to take strong action as they give bad food to customer. Also the restaurant has very costly. Normal person cannot afford this food which is bad and un baked. Very bad experience overall so not worth a try. Also an important point that their service is too slow. If you order starter and main course, they take 30 minutes individually to get the food so I suggest you again not to try this food.

Great food and drinks. Best butter chicken Ive ever tasted. I loved the lamb shank (nailli rogan josh). It was wonderfully complex full of so many flavors. The bread basket is amazing, I particularly like their peshawari naan, its incredibly aromatic and Ive never had anything like it. Loved their drinks, especially the chai martini, the mango one, and the kali. Make sure to finish your meal with one of their mouth watering served warm gulab jamun.

Solid indian food. Its very tasty. We ordered butter chicken, lamb gohst, tikki chicken, side orders of plain biryani rice and garlic naan bread. Every dish we order came out flavorful and satisfying. You cant go wrong with butter chicken and garlic naan bread. I usually dont like lamb due to its gamy scent but this place does it right without its strong odor. And the biryani rice was cooked very fluffy not clumped together. A restaurant worth giving a try if you havent.Its a little pricey here for the amount youre getting but you pay for the ambience and location. They have to adjust for the rent somehow. Its a good place to bring a date after a movie or stroll around the shopping center.

The food here is fantastic. So many great and flavorful dishes. The chanajor garam tikki is like a delectable potato croquette that is flavorful and perfectly crispy . Viki, the bartender, is a master mixologist. He makes the most interesting and exciting cocktails I have had in Orange County. He made a pink drink that included rose reduction, rose petals, lemon juice, and vodka. I would just come back for his drinks. The interior is chic and well done. Can’t wait to come back soon to try more food and Viki’s incredible cocktails.

Staff members are hospitable, and the seating environ is upper medium scale. However, the transfer of info between staff taking orders and the kitchen needs improvements.We have visited four times in the past week, and every time the allergy restrictions were noted down seriously at the order stage but implemented absolutely non-seriously, resulting in repeated returns of cuisine.The manager was courteous and paid attention to our feedback. Overall, fine and worth dining.

My girlfriend and I walked out because nobody took our order after being seated, there were only one or two other tables with people and the server was just sitting behind the bar on her phone while we waited for 10-20min to place an order so we walked out. I really wanted to like this place because the menu looked good and the decor was beautiful but a restaurant is only as good as their service which in this case was non-existent.

Shockingly poor tasting food (chicken entree and vegetarian starter platter). Staff tried to serve good but kept making mistakes one after another.

I have ordered chicken biryani and a mint drink. I specially requested to make it less spicy but the biryani was full of spice and completely dry with no flavors at all. The drink was just masala water.Additionally, the customer service is pathetic. They were only entertaining their current customers and new customers had to wait for 10-15 min.I would be hesitant to try this place again.

Food was very good. The owner needs to train the staff better - the service didnt go with the price.-- A bunch of staff walking around but everyone was waiting for the food to be ordered.-- When the server came to check if the food were good, he can grab empty plates in the same time instead of coming twice.-- The servers need to take a look if they are interrupting guests conversation when checking in.-- The servers need to know if the food has been ordered or not instead of coming to ask Are you guys doing ok?-- If everyone is waiting for the food, I suggest you can serve some Indian crackers.Not an organized or efficient operation. Definitely need to bring in a store manager or trainer to train the team better.

I tried this place for the first time tonight. I really enjoyed the food we ordered: samosas, chicken tikka, lamb shank, garlic naan. The drink menu is also extensive and reflects the flavors and spices of Indian cuisine, which was a nice detail. The flavor and taste of food were excellent. However, the price point is far too high. The rice is not included with curry and costs $6. It was just enough for 2 people dining in, but we didnt have any leftover rice to pack with the curry in to go box. Atmosphere is great and the service was awesome, but its quite expensive.

Worst Dahl I ever had. Since it took almost 40 minutes to arrive I was out of time and forced to eat some of it. I told my server that even though it was so bad I can’t send it back because I am now out of time, so to just bring my check. He said that it was bad because they made it without dairy.When I originally ordered it I had asked out of curiosity if it was dairy free, he said yes. That made me happy because although I eat some dairy, I try to avoid it when possible. I didn’t realize they were taking out what they thought was a critical ingredient.Most of all I was surprised that they did not take even a penny off of the check - partially because of the food quality, but also because I sat waiting for almost 40 minutes. I totally expected to pay something, but not 100%.. I’m not sure why the manager didn’t come over. I certainly wouldn’t want to own a restaurant with people leaving with that impression.

Just posted this on Yelp - we have been here twice and I can say this a great place to have food with your family.Finally a decent Indian restaurant in Orange County!!! Food was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. Right balance of spices. Most Indian restaurants use similar gravy making all dishes taste the same - NOT at Yellow Chilli - All dishes we tried tasted different and authentic. Service and decor was exceptional. Our host - Ranju, Elijah and Eddie were very gracious and accommodating of us - even though we had booked our reservation at the last minute for a party of 10. This does live up to Sanjeev Kapoors brand! Thank you for you hospitality!

I had visited The Yellow Chilli in Buena Park for the first time for a buffet. The price of buffet is bit on higher side as compared to other Indian restaurant in orange county.But The Yellow Chilli in tustin is a fine dining restaurant with à la carte menu. I visited twice to this location and I was more satisfied on my second visit. We ordered their shaam savera (veggie mains), and it was really good (must try). Its something different from traditional cottage cheese recipe. Also we ordered their bread basket just to try different varieties of bread and turns out to be it was not a good call. Garlic naan is good but other two breads (Lachcha paratha and Peshawari naan) was a bit let down. In rice, we ordered Nizami Tarkari Biryani and it turned out to be good. You probably might have figured out that Im vegetarian so Im not sure how there non-veg varieties taste like.If you are looking for real upscale fine dining experience for India food then you should definitely try this restaurant.

This is the first time it has happened to us. We ordered Vegie Coconut Soup and found out there was chicken in it. My wife has never eaten meat in her life and this set her off. She was sad. I tried talking to the waiter but he refused to agree and said its just mushrooms. But I know how mushrooms taste. It was for sure boiled chicken. He was an Indian waiter with French beard. We came to celebrate my birthday but left with disappointment. I even asked him to show me how they cut the mushroom on which he said the mushroom is cooked in the soup and it may look different then raw.I did not expect this from this good restaurant.I was there on Jan 29, 2023. My reservation was at 5:30pm and we sat on the round table near the restrooms.

This restaurant looks great and so does the menu! But, imagine ordering bread at a restaurant and then you’re told you have to pay for the butter! It’s the same here! You order an entree and discover that RICE is extra! So is Naan. And the rice portion that costs $6.00 for a small bowl of rice? It’s ridiculous! You could spend $50 per person easily here.. and the service? Worst ever! And unfriendly as could be. The manager/ owner seems to act as the waiter. He doesn’t smile and have no time to explain anything… you better give him your order and shut up! Meanwhile, he’s trying to up- sell you… since EVERYTHING is a la carte!Never going back!

Awful food. I have never been a fan of Sanjeev Kapoor’s recipes and my experience at his restaurant justified it. We ordered Chanajor Garam Patties for appetizers, it looked crispy from appearance but like they say, never judge by the look. It was soft and soggy from inside, it did not taste anything like chor garam. Our main course was late, we had to ask the server where it was and guess what, they just forgot. For main course We ordered Puran Singh Da Tariwala a chicken curry. Again do not go by the look, It was a freaking SWEET curry. Common ppl Indian chicken or any Indian meat curry, is never sweet unless it is tikka masala. I could not even finish a quarter of naan.About the restaurant, it is at a prime location so they will get the traffic but it’s pricey compared to other Indian restaurants in the area and food isn’t worth the $$. NEVER AGAIN!!!

The place is nice. We were seated within 5 minutes in a Saturday night. But we waited forever for food. Good thing food was good. Everything we ordered was great and we thought it was worth the wait. Its pretty pricey, need to order everything separate like the naan, rice. Wish their entrees come with sides. Overall, we are satisfied with the food. Forgot to take photos since we were pretty starving.

Overall, I give the experience a four out of five simply because of the quality of the food. We arrived around 5 PM, no employees or wait staffing sight. Turns out, they were preparing for a large party that was to come later. After a short wait, we were seated and sat for 10 to 12 minutes with no water or attention. Terrible first impression, even though the ambience was great. Once we ordered, the food was brought out in a timely fashion, and especially for the quality. It is going to be between $25-$35 per person, but it was worth it 100%. By far the best Indian food in Orange County! I do recommend. Michael is the man!

Loved it earlier but going to change my rating. We were served stale biryani and when asked to change it, they mentioned the kitchen is closed and they cant accommodate any more. Have had great experiences earlier. Not much of criticism, but they are capable of providing amazing food. Hopefully this review is taken in that light.

+ Appearance- among the best for Indian restaurant. Kind of place where you can host someone.+ Seats were available right away.- tables were close enough that staff passing by kept bumping on our head/back almost every other time. I got bumped in my head 7 times.+ Good collection of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks.- Basics of hosting were missing. Drinks were served 1 by 1 with 3-5 min per drink.+ Appetizers had good taste for both veg and non-veg.- Same issue with the delivery on the order and very late. all delivered 1 by 1 and more than 5-10 min in between.- Main course was too delayed. It took more than 1 hr 30 min for the food to arrive. Our server did not both even to come to us to say that food is getting delayed or just to say it is coming soon. We tried to reach out to her but she kept running away.+ Non-veg dish had good taste.- Veg dish did not have good taste, almost burnt taste.- We only tried two desserts and clearly none of those was impressive. Especially the GJ was not made well. could not even finish it with 4 people it was that bad.Overall I am not sure if I ll ever go back there.

Best Indian Restuarant in Irvine. We went there for the first time today. Partner lady who attends everyone is so down to earth and accommodating. First class food and premium service. I agree the rates are higher, but much worth than wasting your money twice in somewhere else. Chicken Chettinad we ordered was the best I had ever!!!!

The food was ok but Be ready to wait and get your order messed up. Came with family with advance reservations, earlier no one came for order, then the waitress threw water on the table, did not even bother to see if we got enough glasses of water, later did not come back to take order, and when came to take order, messed it or something. It too long for food to come, had to literally go and ask about food, then few things we ordered never came but they remembered to charge for it. And on top of automatically charged Tip, saying it’s standard practice.NOT COOL, Not recommending to anyone.

From a glowing recommendation from a friend, my wife and I visited, still on the hunt for quality Indian food in Orange County. We made a reservation - still had to wait maybe 5 minutes after that, which wasnt a big deal, I think thats pretty common. But after being seated for 25 minutes without being greeted or acknowledged by any server, we decided to leave. Couldnt tell if it was from lack of staffing or mismanagement. Oh well! Ambiance was great for a summer night though.

Food is good. But prices quantity are way off. Management need extra attention. And for $25/person lunch(I am not going). You need to learn how lunch buffet work in America. Now there was another branch in Buena park which had excellent lunch buffet option amazing experience we had and been there multiple times. But I he’s. It closed down during Covid. So yeah that much food verity for $25 per person is still expensive but I don’t mind going for once in a while with family and friends.

Horrible experience! Do not recommend.There was no salt in the food, no lemon in the mint lemon cooler, food was below average. They had their portable air conditioners set to a temperature of 84F, zero air flow in the place and just 2 restrooms for a 100+ capacity restaurant. Cherry on top was their audacity to charge a mandatory gratuity for a party of 5.

Went there with my friend on a Friday night for dinner and spent $50 each in total.

Service could be friendlier (owner walked in behind me as I was getting carry out and didn’t acknowledge or nod/smile. Felt a bit like ego vs pride of ownership.)Best tikka masala in Irvine. Jeera rice is equally delicious as is the naan (both garlic and plain). Price is steep likely due to the rent in The District so portions could be a little larger for the price. Nearly $75 for two entrees, rice and naan, a special treat. Bartenders are friendly and hostess is hit or miss.

2022-04-27 00:57:43

Very small quantity w. r. t the price they are charging for each dish. Fish Tikka masala that I ordered didnt have enough pieces of fish at all, the only thing I paid for was the gravy, which was not even spicy, as they never ask the spice level from the customer. Another dish of fish tandoor was also very little quantity. Please dont try this restaurant unless you just want to pay for the ambience, not food.In all previous bad reviews, they have mentioned that they are trying to improve, but nothing is literally happening.

I don’t often do reviews, but this experience was exceptional! I was craving Indian food and found this place by chance. It exceeded my expectations! I’m vegetarian and ordered 3 dishes to share. The flavor was perfect and the cook made a fresh chili sauce a la cart that really rocked! So much leftovers, and they gave us their sauces fresh to go. The manager talked to us for a bit and explained all the food to us. A side note, the waiter and service was the best. We where shocked to find out it’s a franchise but the food was A+! I highly, highly suggest coming here.

Special shoutout to Michael for taking our order and getting us the gobi manchurian!! This was the best dish we ate here!We ordered the appetizer combo- we get 3 varieties- a great pick!Shaam savera- for some reason there were only 3 dumplings in it.aloo bhukara gravy, peshavri naan, garlic naan, roti. All of them were made so fresh and taste was great!For the deserts- kulfi rabri- 4/5Shahi tukda- 2.5/5I heard gulabjamun gulkand is very famous here but i havent tried it.The hostess was hardly interested. I wish she knew how to serve a party of 4. She kept getting 2 glasses of water holding in her hands. We were served food and then gotten plates( mind you 2 at a time even if we were 4 at the table🤣)

Good food but their service is a joke. We put in an online order to pick up at 530, the place wasn’t busy and every time I asked for updates I got “it’ll be ready in 10”. It wasn’t ready finally until 610. We got no “sorry for the wait” or anything. I regret tipping online beforehand.

Good food, but hopeless and slow service. They constantly say 10 more mins no matter how long the wait is, and this happens no matter how busy the restaurant is. The manager should be upfront with how long the food is taking, and make amends if they screw something up.

Food quality has dipped and the curries which tasted good in the past, tasted substandard and terrible ( time to use fresh spices) . The naan bread was not flaky like it used to be, it was thick and was lumpy which was not great. The appetizer was good, but the soups were bad . I think the restaurant needs to bring back their old chef and get their food standards back to par. Disappointed! #sanjeevKapoor you probably need to check in on your restaurants - I dont recommend this place until they fix what they cook

Its rare to find a desi spot with Indian inspired cocktails, I always bring my mom and dog here for happy hour. The food, ambience, and drinks are always delicious. We usually get the mixed veg platter, saag paneer, and Great Kali + Mango martini to drink. Although every experience has been great, we especially love when Viki works the kitchen/bar. The food tastes exponentially better, and he puts a lot of time and effort in each cocktail. He also makes sure to come out and check up on every customer, really goes above and beyond.

Pros:+ atmosphere and decor+ curry tastes decentCons:- curry is overpriced ($18-25 for medium bowl)- curry does not come with rice- small bowl of rice will set you back $5 per person- sanitary issues? Waiter dipped finger in food.I unfortunately cannot give this place a good review - the manager took our orders, and heavily implied that the rice and naan were complimentary. Curry portions were small for $18-25 a bowl. We ended up paying $5 per rice bowl or naan, for a total of $20 extra.In addition the waiter accidentally dipped his thumb (the entire first joint, past the thumbnail) into our bowl of curry, then redipped his finger into the second bowl with residue from the first bowl. The waiter made eye-contact with me and quickly tried to leave as I was the only one that noticed, and I was forced to call the waiter back. This is especially troublesome during Covid-19, and I was frankly astonished that I had to call the waiter out.The actual curry was fine. Flavors were decent, my friends chicken tikka masala was a bit sweet. However, the curry was still overpriced, even disregarding charging us $20 for a couple small bowls of rice and naan- something that should be complimentary.

If you are looking to experience the best Indian food in OC, look no further. The food here is authentic, its delicious, and the menu is diverse enough from the standard Indian food menu in the US that you will always discover something new and exiting.I have visited this place a handful of times and service has been impeccable every single time. The staff is friendly and kind and are eager to help.The restaurant is beautiful on the inside with bright colors and bold lighting. It has an upscale vibe and is a great place for a fancy date night, hosting parties or for coming out for dinner on a relaxing weekday.The best kept secret of this place however is their cocktails. They have delicious cocktails on the menu that you can request and if you want to take your taste buds on a memorable adventure, ask Viki, the bartender to surprise you. I might sound like I am exaggerating but he is probably the best mixologists in OC. I typically go out and try new bars/ restaurants about 2 to 3 times a week and he made me the best drinks I have ever had.His drinks were refreshing, they smelled like rose and pineapple and all things that remind you of traveling the world. They were not too sweet but perfectly smooth and dangerously hid the hard flavors of alcohol. We cannot wait to go back and try more of everything!

4.5If you are planning to treat your friends or family with Indian food.. You have made a very good choice to get them over here. Class ambiance, service with smiles and authentic Indian taste- these will best describe this place. Make advance reservation for securing the corner spot which can host almost 20 guests.Rotis, paneer curry, dum biryani and gulab jamoon all get high scores while shahi bread tukda can be avoided. South Indian food is not a specialty here and choices limited to Idli and Vadas only. Yet, Vada is worth the visit!

I booked this restaurant for my parents surprise 40th-anniversary luncheon. Its tough to find spots around Orange County that have a wide selection of vegetarian food and outdoor seating (a priority for us to be on the safe side with COVID), but Yellow Chili did the trick! I was able to coordinate several weeks in advance and put down a refundable deposit for the entire outdoor patio area for 20 people.We let our party order a la carte since our group is a mix of vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Some places make you pre-order food or reach some minimum, so I appreciated the flexibility on this front since people can be quite particular with their dietary needs. The food was all excellent - flavorful and not too spicy (good even for our more sensitive tummies, old and young!). Our favorites were definitely the starred items which are their signature items - so if you are not sure where to start then try those first. In the appetizers, the Kachche Kele ki Shaami was amazing (almost like an aloo tikki - hard to believe its made with bananas!), and in the mains we especially enjoyed the Shaam Savera and the vegetarian Nizami Tarkari Biryani.The bar menu is pretty epic - I will definitely come back to try this place again at night. The restaurant is well-decorated and chic, and while the outdoor area is a bit simpler, they have umbrellas and heaters so they are prepared for a variety of SoCal elements!All in all - thank you Viki, Michael, and the rest of the team for having my family for lunch. Well be back!

I would rate like 3.5 Hospitality ambience and serving staff is great however the food not so great overall.Good :-The garlic Naan is good here.Butter Paneer was equally good and so was the chettinad chicken.Bad:-Chicken tikka Masala curry tastes good but the chicken has a cold frozen taste, you can definitely say the chicken used is not very fresh. Also not enough chicken in that curry.Same was the issue with Chicken soup.The non veg starter platter tastes good but portion size is really bad, miniature pieces of everything.

We had two lamb selections in addition to cream cheese naan - couldnt believe how great the food was. We also ordered Butter Chicken to take home.

Have been to their Santa Clara branch and they have maintained the taste and standards. The service was a bit slow considering we went on Wednesday evening when the restaurant was not that full. Other than that, food was great. We had Sabz Panchvati, Mussa Dal, Paneer Makhanwala, Masala papad and jeera rice.

The food is an upscale, Top-Chef style Indian food deconstruction. The ambiance is hip, and the service is good. At the end of the meal, though, I could not get my head around the cost of $55+tip for 1 app, 1 entree and 1 cocktail. I get that they have rent to pay at the District, but its just not a good value when there are many restaurants where you can get Indian food just as tasty with twice the portion size and half the price.

The main server with the big mustache is always rude and racist. He hold my orders for over half an hour every time while others coming after getting their order before me. I always see this worker rude and having terrible customer service so not only me but to others.

A must visit place when youre in LA. Food is excellent and service is good albeit a bit slow. A good variety of drinks is available. All in all a fine dine experience.

Food was good but staff was very lousy and slow. They reluctant to give extra dish or spoon. It took 15 min to get menu with 10% occupancy in restaurant.

Went here with friends because we always pass it and wanted to try something new for a few birthday people. The food was good but the service was terrible. We had to go inside and ask for our check after we asked a passing server because we had not and could not see ours. It could have been an off night. They have flavors Im not used to having so Ill give it another shot eventually.

Food can use a bit more desi flavor.

Food quality has improved, hospitality is decent and varieties are good. However the price is high end for the quantity of food given. Would recommend the management to rethink their pricing strategy.

Ive enjoyed this restaurant until today when I had a very unsatisfying experience.I ordered foods on their website at 5:05 pm. As the suggested pickup time was 5:45 pm, I arrived 5:50 pm, but one server said foods were not ready. I checked again after 5 minutes with my name, but the answer was wait, so I did.Finally, at around 610 pm, I asked once more, but they said they had not received my order. I was too tired and wanted to cancel the order, they asked my phone number and tolde that they would make a refund tonight.I asked them how would they make a refund if they had not received my order in the first place. The server brought a manager, and he told me to wait 5 min for the foods.After 5 minutes, I received the foods.During COVID, I enjoyed this place as their foods are indeed tasty, even if the operation seemed far from optimal.Now getting back to normal, they should definitely improve their operation.This is my story spending 80 minutes until receiving my order.

I meant to give it 4 stars. Looks like I only gave it 3. So Im correcting it.
