This small Indian restaurant is not the best place to eat in. It gets hot inside and there is no air conditioning. However, it is perfect for takeout. The food is consistently delicious. The butter chicken, chicken tandoori, and chicken tikka masala are all full of flavor. The garlic naan is soft, warm, and really tasty.
Service is fast and efficient, so picking up your order is quick and easy. If you are looking for great Indian food to take home, this is a solid choice.

This place is an absolute gem! The butter chicken and chicken tandoori are hands down some of the best I’ve had—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. One thing that really sets them apart is their garlic naan bread—it’s soft, warm, and has an incredible taste you won’t find anywhere else.
Just a heads-up: if you’re not into super spicy food, make sure to let them know to tone it down a bit. They don’t hold back on the heat! But overall, everything I’ve tried here has been delicious and consistent. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Indian flavors.

I had a great Chicken Dum Biryani in a very long time here. We also got the Veg Korma with Garlic naan and that was delicious too. The portions are decent and service was quick. Not a lot of options for seating as it is a small joint ideal for take out. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for great Indian food.

My experience with this restaurant is really funny because 50% of the times the food was really bad and 50% of the times it was exceptional so I rate it overall 3 star. The biggest highlight was the server Mr. Talah was really going out of his way to make sure that we were welcomed, The food was nice and make sure that the experience was really great. We ordered samosas which looked like the samosas from store which were refried. The fish stick was OK and lack salt and the $26 chicken kadai (see photo) came in a bowl which was half cooked and 50% of it was just chopped big onion pieces, green pepper and big chunks of chicken. There was no gravy at all. I told this to Talah and he took get back immediately to the cook to make the fix. Graciously Day did fix it, but wasn’t up to the mark like what I had last time. Last one not the least when I asked about the dessert Mr. Talah was kind enough to sample us the desserts and then told order whatever you like. I’m certainly sure that the cook must have changed and all the four times I have been there every time the cook was different and I can significantly feel the difference..
Please maintain the cooks if they’re doing good because at the end of the day, that is what matters . At the same time I would like to mention that the price point is way too high and really not worth the cost.
Anyway, I still give them 3.5 star because they did try their best and with certain consistency, they can be much better.
I hope next time when I go there, the food will be better !

Hot N Chili San Clemente is one of our favorites Indian restaurant so we were a little unsure about the quality and taste when they opened at Huntington. But I was wrong! It was amazing, everything was exactly the same taste. Even the garlic naan was as crispy and tasty as we had in San Clemente. Chicken kadai, goat biryani were spectacular. We are glad this location is near our house so will be coming here more often.

My favorites were the goat karahe and the garlic naan! If you don’t like bones, go for the lamb karahe instead. We also got paneer tikka and some cheesy naan-all delicious. The chutney and crispy bread starter was a nice surprise, too.
Great local spot, next time we’ll probably order in.

Great place to eat! We came here for a holiday lunch and ordered the family platter, garlic naan, and mango lassi. The food was delicious and perfect for a family of 4-5. The service was also hospitable, our server Riya was very friendly!

Worst food ever ! Who makes veg biryani with raw veggies ? Potato, broccoli, carrot everything is raw . The rice used is not even basmati but thick tasteless rice. Don’t know what kind of oil is used which stinks so much !! Highly disappointed. Really wondering who has rated you 4.8 ? Really ?

Recently had a favorite restaurant for malai kofta in another state and am happy to say theirs tops it!!! Malai kofta medium spice is perfect spice level not to ruin the creaminess but still give aromatic kick. Go mild if you need to. Authentic homemade style. Must come back to try more of the menu. Excellent attentive friendly service.
