Wow! Probably the last place I’d expect to find good Indian food before getting to San Diego. Overall, this food was amazing and definitely satisfied our craving. For three people, we shared lamb curry, chicken vindaloo, butter chicken, and garlic naan. Although it didn’t look like much, it was a lot of food, and we definitely had to lock in to finish everything in the end. Would come back!

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!

Had an excellent meal at this Indian restaurant. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced—everything from the curries to the fresh naan tasted homemade and full of depth. The service was friendly and super attentive, making great recommendations without being pushy. Portions were generous, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the whole experience felt comforting and satisfying. Whether you’re craving classic favorites or trying something new, this spot absolutely delivers.

Amazing place we came across.
Outside seating is pretty cute and lively.
Service was quick and food was good too.
Surprised with potion of food per dish.
Strongly recommend to split the naan with someone, its big dish.
Free Papad and riata in appetizers and sweet funnel seeds with the check was a nice thanks touch.
Will definitely come back again.

Hot N Chili Indian Restaurant is a great mix of Indian, Pakistani, and Kashmiri cousins. We tried the goat and lamb dishes and they were really good. You can decide the level of spiciness from zero to unlimited. The biriyani is good, especially with basmati rice. The owner/chef, Mr. Zafar is one of three chefs ” as he told me” is very focused on customer needs. Muss. Sidra was our host and she is extremely curtious and exemplified a true care and service. San Clemente is gorgeous. When there, try to enjoy the San Clemente peir area and the Outlets.
