CaliChilli - unauthentic Indian Restaurant

Lovely lunch! Lamb biryani was beautifully presented, very tasty and enough for lunch today as well. We ate in the enclosed alcove in the front, which afforded us the ability to have a conversation without competing with the ambient music. Our host was perfectly attentive and allowed us to enjoy our meal.....he showed up at just the right times with just the right things. All in all a delightful afternoon with great food and service.

The moment you walk in the sent of spices tantalizes your mind and taste buds. The food is incredibly tasty. Lamb Chops are excellent. Butter chicken clay Pot is out of this world. The Lamb Biryani is a must have. On and on and on. A must try

Never disappointed. Always fantastic- this evening we tried the Lobster panang chef special with a panang sauce that would make most Thai restaurants envious.

This was my first time here, just sisters escaping the long work week. The ambiance and decor are nice and calming. I ordered two drinks because I could not decide which one I wanted, so why not get both? I ordered The Purple Rain, which was okay. I loved the Mango margarita; it was really delicious and spicy. My sister and I ordered the Chicken Tikka, which was very soft, melted in your mouth and extremely flavorful, amazing with the garlic-flavored bread. We also ordered the Cali Nachos and Sticky Korean ribs. I loved the Sticky Korean Ribs, it was soft and flavorful, melted in your mouth, it reminded me of my mom's ribs, my sister didn't like it so much. The food here was delicious, tender and flavorful. The manager was great; he came to check on us a few times and gave us his recommendations, and everything he recommended I had in mind. He was very attentive and nice. I do not want to butcher his name, but it starts with an M. I will definitely be back and bring my mom. The price was great! Lastly, we ordered the Chai tiramisu. I wasn't a fan, but my brother-in-law enjoyed it and said, “Rich creamy flavor, and the fluffiness.” Thank you for a great experience. I will be back.

5 stars for food, 2 stars for service. The food is amazing and is the only thing that keeps bringing us back despite the horrible service. Been hear many times, and not once have we ever had good service. There only seems to be 1 or 2 servers for dinner so I imagine they are spread very thin.

The service could be a little more attentive The restaurant was empty, just 3 tables for Saturday lunch. Had to keep looking to get the wait staffs attention as they kept disappearing near the kitchen and chatting

We have never eaten Indian food and decided to step outside our usual comfort zone. The manager was a delight, the servers were prompt and the food was fantastic. I don't like spicy food but they somehow managed an Indian flair without upsetting my delicate stomach. I loved it. This is our new "go to" place. I urge you to step out and give it a try. The poppers and momos were outstanding appetizers. The sticky ribs, butter chicken pot pit and the tandoori seabass - out of this world.

Great food! Wonderful ambiance! We enjoyed all the food especially the old school chicken tikka.

This place is amazing. Go right away. The food is spectacular, they've got really interesting cocktails, and service is great. 10 out of 10

Excellent food, very inventive. But it took a while for our order to be taken and to get the bill. However, that will not deter me from going back. It was so yummy!

Interesting menu and variation of flavors for an Indian restaurant. But didn't sit well with some of our parties stomach. The timing of the food's arrival was off too. We ordered naan but by the time it came we had no entrees left to eat it with. So we had to order more unless we wanted to use it for left over gravy or dry. The chicken items were well done and very tender. Especially the pot pie and the chicken tikka. The seekh kebab was also good.

Excellent Food, I try something new each time. The nachos and sticky ribs were the stars of the show. My fav dish are the curry short ribs . The owner is always accomodating and provides a high quality experience. It was my husband's bday and he made the experience extra special with the spiced tea cocktails (they come with a show!) . I'll be back again and again!

Excellent food. We ordered 4 different items for lunch and enjoyed them all. Will come back again

Just visited this amazing place on August 5th! 🤤 We devoured chicken momos, dahi sev puri, dum chicken biryani, chicken rendang, and garlic cheese naan. Every single dish was a flavorful #Food #Momos #Biryani #Foodie #Dinner

This place is super amazing. The food was outstanding as was the service. The manager was very attentive. We came for dinner with another couple for Dine LA. The amount of food served was incredible as was the menu selections. Definitely coming back.
