Everything was so authentic, tender, and delicious! All the food had bright, vibrant colors, which tells me it’s fresh! What a sweet tasty Indian spot. We will be back many times.

The good….
The food is good. No not just good, great…. No, great is too mild a word…. The food is superlative…. If you’re in the mood for good Indian food, you need to go to Hot N Chili Indian Restaurant. Tucked into the “old town” shopping center, this gem of a restaurant is sure not to disappoint.
The bad…
Nope…. It was all good
The ugly…
Again, nope.
If you’re in San Clemente, be sure to stop by for some GOOD Indian food at Hot N Chili!

Don’t make my mistake… eat here now. I’ve passed by Hot n Chili numerous times and always said I was going to try it. It took me over two years to finally get there and it was so amazing. The food, the service and the ambiance are the best in San Clemente. I had the lunch buffet and there wasn’t a single thing I didn’t like, you know those places where you know you’re done, but you still go back for more? This was one of those. My daughter who said she doesn’t like Indian food based on trying it at another place in LA? She also loved it and had seconds.
The service was also incredible and friendly. I felt so welcome here!
So .. don’t make my mistake and go here today, get the buffet, order a lassi to drink, and finish with a spoonful of fennel. You’re welcome in advance.

Great food and service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Set in a courtyard of shops, so you are not sitting on the street, but no actual views. Definately will go back.
