I was so excited to try this new place in town as I’ve always been fan of Chef Sanjeev Kapoor!! I’ve grown up watching his cooking videos on TV and was so excited to try! Food is really good and delicious!! They’ve a variety of Indian style drinks! Vast menu full of new items all over India!! Definitely worth a try! Staff is really nice and friendly!! Little bit pricy as compare to other Indian places!! But food and vibe is worth trying!!

Wonderful experience and the food was tasty too. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. The manager was very detail orientated and I could tell that he wanted us to experience quality service. Our waitress, Kim, was very friendly and responsive too. I will definitely be eating here again in the future.

We had a great experience at The Yellow Chilli in Fresno. The staff was very nice and friendly. A special thank you to Prabh, who helped us and was very kind and attentive. There was also a gentleman wearing a black shirt I forgot to ask his name, but I believe he was the manager. He was very professional and helpful as well.
The food was excellent, with great quality and generous portions. The prices matched the quality and quantity perfectly. Everything we ordered tasted amazing.
We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back again. I will also recommend this restaurant to my friends and family. Highly recommended!

We love indian food so we were excited to hear of the new restaurant opening. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and beautiful atmosphere with sophisticated indian decor. Prabh was our sever and did an excellent job connecting with our kids and highlighting the dishes.
All the dishes were delicious but the ones that stood out to us was the Shaam Savera (Spinach and cheese dumplings), Kashmiri Naan, Shahi Tukda (Bread and Milk pudding desser)
We highly recommend and will be back! ✨️

This is a wonderful new place to experience with delicious and authentic Indian cuisine. The staff was very helpful in explaining and recommending dishes for us to try. Prab was our waitress, and she was terrific.

I had been looking forward to visiting this restaurant and decided to dine there with my wife on a Friday evening. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly, and the initial hospitality was pleasant. However, the seating process appeared disorganized, and the staff seemed uncertain about coordinating reservations. Despite having a reservation, we waited approximately 15 minutes before being seated.
Once seated, the overall ambiance was acceptable—modern and in line with many contemporary Indian restaurants, though not particularly upscale. At the time of our visit, the bar was not operational, likely due to the pending liquor license, and mocktails were offered as an alternative. We ordered the Aam Panna, which was serviceable but not-memorable.
We began our meal with appetizers. The raj kachori lacked the expected crispiness and was heavily saturated with yogurt and tamarind chutney; I would rate it a 5 out of 10. Next, we tried the hara masala bhuna paneer, which, in my opinion, was undercooked. A longer sear could have enhanced the flavor and texture. While the paneer itself was hot, the chutney layered on top was noticeably cold, giving the dish a “last minute assemble” feel rather than that of a thoughtfully prepared appetizer. The fish pakora was enjoyable but did not stand out. Additionally, there was some confusion regarding the non-vegetarian platter; the items described by the server did not match what was ultimately served, which consisted of two chicken items and one fish dish.
Overall, the restaurant feels like a moderately average Indian establishment aspiring to position itself as upscale restaurant. There is a lot of room for improvement, particularly in staff training and service coordination. With the addition of a functioning bar and greater attention to culinary execution, it has the potential to become a more compelling dining destination. At present, it feels more like a one-time visit. I would consider returning in the future if consistent positive feedback suggests meaningful improvements have been made.

PS
Very nicely done interiors with , lovely ambiance, great food presentation and good food and service .
Their mocktails were the best .
The servers were friendly and smiling but little interfering, they should keep minimal interaction with the guests .
Will be back to try their other dishes .

Super excited to have this restaurant in our community. I first tried The Yellow Chilli up in Santa Clara and it was amazing. This location is equally amazing. Food was great. It’s expensive, so get ready to pay, but worth it. Servers were attentive, but almost too attentive. Johnathan and Kim were very nice and even offered me a complimentary mocktail drink, as they are still waiting for their liquor licensing.
They really need a lunch menu. Like I said, with a relatively pricey menu to begin with, it only makes sense to have a less expensive lunch menu. Just my opinion.

Finally, a true fine dining Indian restaurant in Fresno. The Yellow Chilli is a beautiful addition to the city with great ambience and a very elevated feel from the moment you walk in.
The space is elegant and thoughtfully designed, making it perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special night out. Service was excellent and warm. Khushpreet took wonderful care of us and made sure everything flowed smoothly.
We ordered Shabnam ke Moti, Chandi Kaliyan, Nalli Rogan Josh, and DumBiryani, along with Rasmali and a Guava Mocktail. Every single dish was delicious. The flavors we rich, balanced, and clearly made with care. The Nalli Rogan Josh was especially comforting and full of depth, and the Dum Biryani was fragrant and satisfying. Ending the meal with Rasmali was the perfect touch, and the Guava Mocktail was refreshing.
Great food, great service, and great ambience. Highly recommend and definitely looking forward to coming back.

Amazing experience! The service was top-notch and the food was incredible. I had the Dahi ke Kabab as an appetizer and the Makhanwala Paneer as my main course. Both were delicious! The ambiance was also very nice, felt like a special occasion. Highly recommend!”
