Diner notes
5 out of 5
I’ve not had a lot of Indian food before but our experience at Chai N Chilli gave me a whole new appreciation for it. The whole menu is vegetarian with many dishes also being vegan and gluten free. The menu is huge, quite overwhelming for someone unfamiliar with all the dishes but we got a selection of their authentic fare and really enjoyed it. We ordered everything mild which still had a kick but loved that they could alter the spice level to suit preferences. The staff helpfully explained how to best enjoy the dishes and I loved how everything was made from scratch, you could definitely taste the love that went into these dishes. Everything was super flavourful and I discovered a few dishes I really loved and will come back for. Also loved the cute wall art inside the restaurant and how insanely affordable everything was.

The food is above average but not everything that is why my rating 4. The service is great, smiling faces and relatively fast service comparing the rush. We order: 1. Kacha Aam Sarbat (Raw mango juice) 2/10 - extremely sweet, and over use of elachi powder. No taste of mango at all. 2. Vada pau, and cheese vada pau - 9/10 Yum it it was a bit more spicy it would be 10/10 3. Tethcha pau 4/10 - I was expecting a flavour boom, spicy, nuty, but it was only onion and cheese, nothing else. 4. Puri bhabi thali - 9/10 the puris are soon good, cannot explain. The bhaji again maybe a bit spicy for desi people. 5. Alu tikki chaat - 9/10, yum. 6. Chai - 5/10, I had better chai in Melbourne in multiple places. Comparing the price the taste is not amazing. 7. Rabdi 1/10 - not rabdi at all, it was liquid and extremely sweet.
