CaliChilli - Unauthentic Indian Restaurant

This was, without a doubt, one of the best meals I've ever had. The pani puri poppers were so creative and delicious. The sticky ribs were to die for! My husband loved his steak. We will definitely be making this place a regular stop.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner here... great food, wonderful atmosphere and even though they were understaffed friendly and efficient service. Love the contemporary, untraditional take on Indian cuisine. For appetizer we had the perfectly fried, delicious cauliflower fritters... the batter was delightfully light and crisp. My wife had the chef’s signature cut filet mignon with cummin potatoes & vindaloo sauce... perfectly cooked meat and a surprisingly good combination with the vindaloo sauce. My vindaloo lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious. For dessert we had the spectacularly presented pistachio & saffron kulfi. Oh, and the garlic & cheese kulcha was a fine and flakey addition, glad to take some home and have it for breakfast. Gone have to come back and try all the different kulcha. Delicious food and fun times...

Great food, great vibe. Everything we ordered was delicious with a decent portion size. Eggplant Lasagna and chai tiramisu are a must try. The flavors are spot on, and the drinks have a modern twist with subtle indian flavors. Getting reservation was a breeze, and parking was easily available. Nice spot for special occasions or taking out friends and family. Would definitely visit again.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t post/take too many pics of the food because there are already plenty in other reviews, and also because I forgot to because I was too busy scarfing down the delicious food. Took the wife for lunch on a Thursday. Made a reservation, probably not necessary, but just in case. Long story short, we’re making this a go to when we’re in the mood for “Indian” food. We had the cauliflower fritters, Lamb Vindaloo and the Truffle Chicken Tikka. The surprise dish was the truffle chicken, it was perfectly cooked, the inside was still tender and moist. Another great surprise were the cocktails, I had a Mississippi Masala (yum) and two drinks I asked the bartender to make up, did not disappoint. Had a great time, and like I said we’ll definitely come back.

The flavors were AMAZING!! We were a group of 17 people and every single dish was FANTASTIC. A couple of us ordered the chef special lunch veg and non veg lunch which included the 1)Truffle chicken (the chicken melted in the mouth) 2) Chicken Vindaloo 3) Dal Makhani 4) Garlic Naan 5)Rice and salad, and everything was delicious. Few other things people raved about was the Calmari, shrimp, Biryani - everything was absolutely 5 star. Each one had unique flavors and all of us were extremely satisfied by the experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying this out.

Had a great date night last night. Started off with the Masala Mint drink. Don’t know if I’d order it again. But def an interesting drink. We had the Cheese & Jalapeño Kulcha - which I loved (hubby not so much), and then the vindaloo lamb dish - fall off the bone, super yummie! Def recommend.

Def an unauthentic Indian cuisine experience. Service from the waiting staff can be improved. Food is creative, tasty, and well presented. Love the vibe, somewhere in between chic n casual. Also, I love the Indian twist on their cocktails!
