    This was our first time here and we were impressed - the food and service were both excellent as we had heard. We ordered a variety of starters and menu items and everything was delicious. The only issue was the roti - we had a few orders and all were burned on both sides but everything else was so tasty we didn't say anything until the end when we told the waiter. He was totally nice about it and even brought us an extra order free of charge which was not burned and we definitely enjoyed that a lot! We will definitely be back to try more dishes.

    Great Food. Accommodating to 1 party-member’s nut allergy. Waiter was very nice. Service was slow despite restaurant being fairly empty.

    Overall it was good. It is kid friendly in terms of having high chair, kid cups. But it's high time they have a kid friendly menu. Everything is spicy for little one.

    We liked the variety of vegetarian dishes. The "Tarkari Nizam Biriyani" was the star of the dishes we ordered. So was the dessert "Gulkand jamun". We appreciate the attention to detail by the staff @ "The Yellow Chilli" as they remembered my notes during the reservation and surprised us with a cake to celebrate my mom's birthday.

    Some of the food was not good. The fish was bland but the gravy was good. The eggplant was not fried well. For the price of the dishes, they could have cooked more flavorful.

    The server charged us $45 for wine we never ordered. They refunded the money when we pointed out. Usually, I don’t check each item on the receipt and could have easily missed it. I hope it is not a regular thing they are doing. Server name was Rio
