    Delicious. Cauliflower bites to begin and the eggplant lasagna were amazing. Husband's lamb shank was yummy too.

    Really good food and service. We had the chicken wings, quesadilla, lamb vindaloo, and Kerala fish. The garlic naans are the best I have ever had. Mango rose lassi was superb.

    The food is phenomenal, but the service is horrendous. We had a reservation and they were prioritizing walk-ins. They offered the bar until we could get our table, which was 20 minutes later. We sat at the bar and it wasn’t busy, but the bartender didn’t even look at us until 10 minutes after sitting down. We didn’t even get to order a drink there. Once we were seated at our table, then they took our order and 10 minutes later she came back with our drinks. They weren’t even handcrafted drinks. The food came out fast. Our food actually came out BEFORE our drinks. I got the paneer pot pie, it’s not a true pot pie. They just have filo dough over a pot. Pani puri was good and so was the short rib. I would eat here again, but for take out. Not worth the restaurant experience.

    As a lifelong restauranteur, I was very much looking forward to this experience, as a professional colleague, friend and culinary school graduate told me it was one of the best Indian meals they have had. We went together last night and it was very good. The noise level was moderate to loud because of all the hard surfaces, nothing to absorb sound. Still the ambiance is nice and the place is tastefully decorated. We ordered the cauliflower fritters, garlic & chive naan, saffron rice, Tandoori Sea Bass and Lobster Panang, plus two glasses of wine, and the check was $160 before gratuity...almost $200 when adding tip, so that works out to about $100 per person. All the dishes were very well prepared and flavorful. Being in the business I don't mind paying for a great experience, and - I know what things cost. Considering portion size, I feel the Sea Bass @ $40 is a bit overpriced, and paying $6 a la carte for rice is a little overzealous...usually rice is complimentary...they are making a LOT of money on it. Service was slightly overzealous as well, the server made great suggestions and was knowledgeable, but had we ordered everything he suggested it would have been a couple more dishes, and we already had a few leftovers. Having been a server myself once upon a time, I learned to read the table and make customized suggestions. Overall, a good experience - I will be back. With a few tweaks, it could be a really outstanding experience.

    This was my second visit to Cali Chili and it felt like the warmth of Thanksgiving Day. The kind where the food is made with love, the air feels full of comfort, and you're surrounded by a sense of peace and joy. The dishes were rich in flavor and clearly prepared with care. The vegetarian options were fulfilling and fresh, and the mocktails added the perfect touch. But more than the food, it was the atmosphere that stayed with me. The staff was kind and attentive, and every part of the experience felt genuine. I haven’t enjoyed a meal like this in a long time. Cali Chili reminded me what it feels like to be fed in every way. I left full, grateful, and already planning my next visit.

    Our second time at CaliChilli and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and great service especially from the manager. He is very attentive and welcoming. Butter Chicken Pot Pie was delicious and the lasagna, well that was a delicious dish and so creative. Looking forward to dining there again.

    I always enjoy this place. The manager is welcoming and enthusiastic. But the service staff is weak and slow. The food is excellent!

    The food is amazing. The service lacks. Our food came out at different times, we had to ask for the rice and naan to be brought. If they can get the service improved I would give it 5 stars.
