Reviews for Chilis Bistro & Tandoor

This restaurant is one of the hidden gems in Wellington, as their food is absolutely divine. We’ve been there many times now (going through the menu) and there has been no courses (entree, main or dessert) that are not great, and some are exceptional; for example try their Tandoori Mushrooms or Onion Baluchi for entree.

We actually had an overseas European family visiting us where some (family members) were allergic to fish, some had never had Indian food they liked, some were new to spicy foods and some had already tasted the best Indian foods there ever was. Everybody in this family said this was the best food they ever had; the seafood allergics (we called and informed prior the booking about the allergy requirements) enjoyed sharing mains with us as everything had been prepared separately as promised by the staff. And the person who disliked Indian food has not been able to get over it ever since as she cannot find anything equivalent in her own country.

So there is no reason for explaining the courses one by one – the fact is that no matter what you’ll have will be the best Wellington Indian food can offer. And as far as the friendliness of their staff goes; the last time we dined there our Chef came over with some Raita without asking as I had stated that one of the meals was “great, but slightly hot to my taste”.

Bottom-line: If you only visit one Indian this year, this is the place to go. Even if you are not from the Northern suburbs, go and visit – you won’t regret it.
