I have been going to Chili's since they opened. I can't believe I haven't left a review yet. There are few places where you can get south Indian food in Seattle and this is my favorite, hands down. I love the uttapam, idlis, dahi vada, and dosas. To top it off, Anila, the owner is so warm and welcoming.

Ordered online for takeout. Their online system worked great. It said the food would be ready in 25-30 minutes, but I got a text in 15 minutes that it was ready. Got the butter chicken with roti, which was really good. A very hefty portion, which I proceeded to eat all of. Price was fair.

*4/5 because portion sizes were small - less meat, more curry *3/5 for spice was perfect for me First time trying a southern Indian restaurant and I can say I prefer roti over naan. I like the flaky, butteriness of it more. The fish and goat curry we tried were a thinner, more soup-like consistency than what I'm used to with curry. WITH THAT SAID, it's the perfect consistency to be soaked up by the roti and rice. I preferred the fish curry more - the fish practically melted in my mouth! The place was lively on a Friday evening and has bright red decorations throughout the restaurant. Overall, it's on the smaller side so not many staff running around. Probably saw only 2 people on the floor. There is a bathroom. On the more expensive side, but there is no other place like it in the area, so it was well worth it!

Huuuge portions for the chicken biriyani. I got 4/5 stars and its a good spice level for me and i love spicy food. It came with two things of raita which i went through really fast due to the spice. There are cashews in it and a lot of chicken. This is gonna last me three meals. It was my first time here. Would go again. I just picked up via grubhub but the inside was very clean and quiet

I love love LOVE the food here, anything you get will always be amazing - my favorites are the saag paneer curry and the paneer masala dosa. Their samosas and biryani are also great. The restaurant is decorated with cute hearts all over and the service is always very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! There's usually always at least one table open but they are a small restaurant.

Really love this restaurant for its authentic Southern Indian food and the enhanced spices of the food! I got the Mango Chicken Curry with Mango Lassi and my boyfriend got the Masala Dosa. Both dishes were rich in flavor and spices. The Masala Dosa was filled with potatoes and it was pretty spicy. It was also served alongside a little soup and two sauces. Those paired nicely with the Dosa. The Mango Chicken Curry was served in a tin bowl with the paratha and basmati rice on the outside. The paratha was very nice and flaky, which tasted well with the curry. This is technically my second time going here since 2021 and the food is very consistent. I remember the first time I came here I got 5-star spice, that was my mistake. Learning from that experience, I got 3-star spice this time and I definitely had a pleasant time afterwards. Overall, restaurant is nice and cozy and I didn't really have a bad experience with the servers, but one of the servers accidentally mistook me for another customer and apologized for there being peanuts (there was not peanuts in my food).

Love the food here and the environment is so cozy Dosa is crunchy and the sauce for somosa is great

Authentic South Indian food on the Ave that is not to be missed! Their Special Goat (bone-in) Curry Thali was a feast for the senses and so worth ordering. The Mysore Masala Dosa came in a generous portion and was crispy and loaded with potato! Every item was so flavorful but though we requested 3/5 spiciness (the lowest level) for both, the heat in every bite made our eyes water. This was definitely an experience for the taste buds. They were very busy and short staffed at dinnertime on a Friday night so service was rather slow. Despite this, I will definitely return, hungry for more!
