The Yellow Chilli

"YELLOW CHILLI Went out for dinner at Yellow Chilli Yesterday. Was not very crowded. Parking was available at the kerb near the restaurant. Earlier the road was full of potholes. Now cement bricks have been laid. Ordered some starters-assorted chicken entrée. Was quite tasty. Even the quantity was quite adequate. Was served with mayonnaise, mint chutney and hummus. Also ordered chicken fried rice, garlic naan and chicken Mughlai. All were well-made. The portions were quite large. We tried gajar ka halwa as dessert. This too was served in a very big bowl. Could see a large number of awards displayed at the entrance. A large TV was kept in the hall where Sanjeev Kapoor was shown demonstrating his recipes. Staff were quite nice. Service was not very fast. That was expected as such dishes are never prepared and kept. Altogether a pleasant experience. We are planning to visit again when my son and daughter-in-law come to Trivandrum next time. Pricing by Trivandrum standards was slightly on the higher side. However, considering the taste, quantity and brand name, this was quite acceptable. We went to the restaurant again on 4th December 2025 for lunch. Had vegetable fried rice, vegetable pulao, gobi Manchurian semi-gravy and malai (Mughlai) kofta. Food was quite tasty. We really enjoyed the gobi Manchurian. The sauce had a very special flavor which we had never experienced anywhere else."

"We have tasted vegitarian food for yesterday's dinner. We have ordered different North Indian dishes. Those are very delicious."

"Haven't seen a more hospitable restaurant owner and staff. The food is amazing . The vibe is great and so much thought put into making the whole experience wonderful. Their mint cooler is the best option after a crazy big meal 😋"

"Had a wonderful dinner at the restraunt with my family. The food was amazing, and the ambiance is great for having a small peaceful dinner with family. We are regular customers at this restruant. The price is on the higher side but the food it totally worth it. Highly recommend it for aunthentic North Indian food. Their gulab jamun with gulkhand inside is just amazing. The curries and breads are also amazing. Haven't tried their Biryani. but hoping to taste it another time. Will definetly continue to visit with my family. The only suggestion we had was that the service could be faster. We had to wait a long time for our order to be taken and for the food to arrive. The food was worth it though, but it would be great if our orders could be taken faster."

"Decent option for North Indian food in TVM. The place is kinda small but well kept. Tasty food but extremely overpriced for what it offers in a Tier 2 city like TVM. Just riding on brand name as justification for this should not be encouraged. Edit: Saw the reply, does the "owner" think people are unaware of the pricing across places?! If it is as per quantity, then it is definitely overpriced. Plus the food clearly did not even match the description given in menu card and when asked, the server just mumbled something irrelevant with the same attitude as this reply."
