Reviews
First of all, the cutlery situation was terrible. They only provided plastic and paper cutlery, not even a single piece of steel cutlery for dine-in customers. Considering their price range, you’d expect proper dine-in service with standard utensils. Eating hot curry with a plastic spoon was not only inconvenient but also felt unsafe.
The taste of the food was just okay, nothing exceptional. But what really bothered me was the poor service. The waitress barely interacted with customers she didn’t ask if we liked the food, needed anything, or even check on us. She seemed more focused on mobile orders and stayed inside the kitchen most of the time.
When we needed something simple like extra onions, we had to call her through the small kitchen window or even get up from our seats multiple times to ask. That’s definitely not how dine-in service should be handled.
Overall, I was upset with both the service and the dining setup. For the same price, you can easily find better Indian restaurants that offer proper service, steel cutlery, and a comfortable dine-in experience.
Recommendation:
If you’re planning to try Chutney’s, I’d suggest take-out only. Do not dine in, and honestly, you might even want to skip ordering from here altogether until they improve their customer service and dine-in standards.
Very pricey with less portion. Additionally their service is very poor. It felt like they don’t want us to visit again. They were hesitant to give 2 bags when I asked for to go. This is insane behavior. Especially the lady with glasses doesn’t treat customers well.
When we called the restaurant to let them know, instead of apologizing or taking responsibility, they said,Everyone else is eating it,I don’t know why it’s smelling bad for you.That kind of rude, careless response just shows how little they care about food safety or customer service. Absolutely unacceptable.
I strongly recommend avoiding this place. If you’re craving biryani or Indian food, go literally anywhere else,or wait a day and eat at home,but do NOT waste your money here. This was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurant.
BTW, entire raita leaked in the plastic bag…it was a mess to clear it up..
I guess you usually order at the counter but I was with a wheelchair-user and we went straight to a table. The counter was high, by the way.
They bought us a menu…after we asked. It was hard to tell what we wanted so I asked what they had with chicken and veggies. They asked if I wanted rice with it and that was fine but I was Very Clear that I cannot do spicy. The other person I was with wanted the same dish and was also very clear that they didn’t want Any spice. The person who recommended this place asked for basic noodles.
They asked if we were going to pay then or later. While we waited, I went ahead and paid but should have waited.
After a bit they came out and said that they don’t have noodles. She ended up ordering a version of what we had, which was not what we expected. It was A lot of rice, the only vegetables were garnish and onions (which we picked off as it made the dish even More spicy). I had asked if the chicken was grilled and they said it was stir fried. All I know is that the chicken was breaded in some kind spicy something.
At one point, a man came and asked how we were doing and I said it was spicy…but I’d try to handle it. I wish I’d asked for something else but after reading other reviews (a bit too late) I wish we’d chosen somewhere else. I ended up eating only a small amount of the meal so am now in search of another option. So looking at reviews over convenience!!
The restaurant is small with outdoor seating. Owner is nice and runs through the menu with you for ease. Ordered chilli momos which were great. Then had tandoori masala chicken and garlic naan, and food was flavorful without being too spicy. Also had the chicken biryani which was spiced just right. Had the mango mastani which is a creamy mango puree drink with nuts and scoop of ice cream.
All in all, food was tasty and yes – spicy, which is how indian food is meant to be. It is located in college town so dont expect a phenomenal sit down fine dining experience.
