The Yellow Chilli by Sanjeev Kapoor

One of the better Indian restaurants that we’ve come across in Greater Vancouver. While we’ve been ordering from here, this was our first time dining in. We had made a reservation anticipating crowd on a Sunday, but surprisingly the place was not crowded at all.

Recommended: Lalla Mussa Dal, Tandoori Chicken Lollipops, Garlic Naan, some Tandoori Murgh that’s stuffed with lamb mince

Not Recommended: Shaam Savera

Our server, Simran, was very polite and gave good recommendations! She was sweet enough to bring us an icecream as we were celebrating our anniversary! That simply won us over. ♥️

Thank you to the chef, and Simran, for a wonderful dinner experience. We shall be back :)

The restaurant offers a visually stunning experience with a decent interior and attractively plated food, but the taste falls short. The dish lacked freshness, and the wafer was hard to chew. While great for presentation, the overall dining experience felt underwhelming in flavor and texture.

The food tasted a little off. They couldn’t do any dairy free main dishes.

The samosa was cold in the centre and definitely not fresh nor tasty … considering the hefty prices here, it was disappointing. Not sure how many days old it was. It tasted reheated. We asked for a new batch and that was just as bad.

Very disappointing.

Edit: I thank the person who replied. We asked for dairy free/ vegan options and asked about all options you mentioned as they are naturally dairy free. They were available, but we were told they couldn’t be dairy free. They offered a potato sabzi, a vegetable Palau which was rice with jeera, nothing else and these upsetting samosas. It was by far the worst meal we’ve had in our lives. We paid anyway.

Please train your staff as obviously this has come as a surprise to you. They aren’t aware at all of your options nor do they know how to make/ refresh samosa. They may need training about food safety as some of the food tasted off. We hope that your standards improve and future vegan and dairy intolerant people can eat a decent meal. We won’t be returning however, as there wasn’t even one redeeming quality about this particular experience :(

I’ve taken off a star for service, now that we know that they did have options but it wasn’t available. Either the server was not trained or the person responding is not telling the truth.

Dietary restrictions: Did not really cater. Staff undertrained and did not know how to make very slight adjustments.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a disappointing experience. The food was cold when it arrived, which completely ruined the meal. I politely mentioned this to the Manager, hoping for some resolution or at least an apology, but instead, he ignored our complaint and didn’t offer any assistance or even an explanation. It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re treated this way, especially when you’re simply asking for a basic level of service. I won’t be returning, and I certainly won’t be recommending this place to others.

We ordered breakfast special but to our disappointment they insisted on ordering same 2 paranthas in a parantha plate. I did not get why we cant mix and match this time as the rates are same. Last time we were here they got us two different paranthas in one plate. Also the tea is discontinued, which reflects the cost cutting by the management.
Disappointing experience with a brand like this.
