Ive been extremely disappointed in myself for not finding this place earlier. i use to travel to hicksville or queens to get my desi food fix but ever since i have found this joint i have been addicted:) Am literary obsessed with the nihari and shami kebob there. Even my husband enjoys the variety they offer, from diff curries to burger even the anday wala burger which is pakistani street food staple, but am partial towards the more authentic dishes. LOVE this place .def give it a try i guarantee you wont be disappointed.

Loved the new owners and food, until tonight. When the older man working laughed at me trying to ask for extra sauce(said I’d pay!!) and hung up the phone on me. The younger girls are extremely nice and helpful. Food is delicious. But I Wasn’t even done ordering and the man was so rude. I assume the owner. We order once a week from here. Not again!

We had heard really good things about this place but unfortunately didn’t like the food at all. The spinach we ordered was really watery and had a weird smell to it. Chicken makhani was okay. Not much to write home about.

finally after ages i have come across a restaurant that has awesome pakistani food. being a foodie my tastebuds never lie. I was in search of a place that had amazing pakistan style nihari, kebobs, korma, biryani and the best part is everything taste different from one another when i had tried food at their location couple of years back when it was owned by someone else everything pretty much tasted the same but now i can actually get my cravings satisfied. Ive been here quite a lot lately i just cant help myself everything on the menu is worth trying. even tho its not waiter based service but i don’t mind it .i just go up to the counter to order and pay. the girl behind the counter is super friendly and helpful. They do offer buffets which am planning on having w few of my friends soon but for now i enjoy my takeout w amazing options. Another plus point is they make everything fresh. Someone who has had food in pakistan will definitely appreciate the authentic taste. i will deifnitely be back.

I found its listing on Unilocal!On the website they claimed to serve authentic South Indian cuisine… I was a little surprised with that… because they had also listed Indian, Pakistani and Halal ! This halal is a tell-tale sign that it cannot be an Indian Restaurant and it is difficult to believe that a Pakistani restaurant can serve authentic South Indian food ?!! I thought may be its a joint venture… sure enough, when we reached there, the two gentlemen at the counter looked little uncomfortable ! I saw that there was a big table set near the counter and it looked like that Red Chilli we’re hosting a cute kid’s 3rd birthday party! They conveniently forgot to mention this on their website! I had driven there with my friends after driving 10 miles. They said that you can sit and have the meal there but they have a birthday party starting at 7:30PM… so we have to be done by that time… I glanced at my watch as the gentleman was giving this information… lit was 7:30PM at the dot !! I drew his attention… he didn’t look baffled… just insisted that we should just order for take out… meanwhile the guest for the party had started coming in… they all looked at us with little unease… We started looking at their takeout menu — The whole South Indian Cuisine section was crossed out by a dark sharpee ! There — he ended my suspense… when I enquired about it… the man just looked straight into my eyes and said«oh! that was from the previous«owner» …meaning it was left over from Red Chilli’s previous incarnation… in which it was owned by an Indian. We still ordered the food, instead of walking out — because I did not want the onlookers to think of their venue for their b’day party as some lame swindlers… It is definitely false advertising on their website that they serve South Indian cuisine… let alone authentic ! As soon as we ordered and paid for it… the man instructed(not requested) us to go and sit near the entrance/waiting area… my friends were still fetching their drinks from the cooler, mentioned by the previous reviewer… Food? Just OK… nothing special, not even average… We ordered two biryanis — none of them came with yogurt ! I have always eaten biryani — Indian — Hyderabadi, Pakistani whatever, with a thick, liquid yogurt prep. Because there are various spices in its preparation… In Summary, I will never ever go there again and unfortunately can never recommend to anybody to do so either… Very unprofessional behavior…

have picked up seekh kabab and nan reasonalbly priced, first few times they used chapel kabab meat to make seekh kabab but was still v good, i became a regular customer every week but then the young non smiling owner started increasing 10 – 20 cents every time i went there which was v sneaky and annoying! if I’m paying u the price u r asking every time without an argument don’t play sneaky games coz u just lost a customer for 20 cents! v bad deal. give the customer a price, increase it if u have to but be consistent. include chutney or mention the price this is called customer service thats how u keep a customer as there are a lot of choices!

New owner and name for this location. Similar menu. The young lady behind the counter was very friendly. This is clearly a family run business and nice to see. Food was very good and fresh. Try the Tawa Keema. You’ll start sweating as soon as you smell it. It’s that spicy. Here’s a tip– eat the salad after the chicken to help take the edge of the heat. Nan is fresh. The basmatti rice was cooked just right. Goat was so good that I started to Baaaaaa. Great place for something different to try. Sylvester knows best!

First time trying it with the new owner. My husband ordered the goat and I had a gyro on pita. Both were very good. Took a while to get the food… I would recommend calling to order if you want to pick up just in case they are busy. I definitely would go back!

Every once in a while I get a craving for South East Asian cuisine and am notorious for Traveling as far as Queens to get my fix! After a long tiring day of work, I called my wife to ask what was on the menu tonight, only to be disappointed to learn nothing at all! I suggested to go out to a nice local Indian restaurant as i had been fantasizing about chicken Tikka, Lamb kebabs, Biryani, Naan, and so on and so on. I asked my buddy google for assistance and it directed me to Red Chilli. My 1st impression walking into this establishment… is it a restaurant or a supermarket? I took a deep breath and walked towards the gentleman behind the counter, expecting at least a smile or maybe a hello? Neither. We sat down and waited for a server only to find the gentleman behind the counter walk over, hand us a TAKEOUTMENU, and proceeded to take our order. I asked for refreshment options and was told to walk to a refrigerator and help myself to any pop of my liking. I usually judge a new Indian restaurant by there 4 main entrees to determine if it makes my list: Biryani, Mix Tikka Grill(usually consists of lamb, chicken, beef, fish), chicken Tikka Masala, and Naan Bread. Biryani: Good! Mix Grill: fish was tasty, Lamb kebabs were a day old and cold, some chicken kebabs were undercooked, Beef Kebabs had a weird smell which I didn’t want to adventure with. Chicken Masala– the butter sauce had flavor however chicken undercooked. Naan: on point! It had the right consistency. Check please? The server/owner/cook brought over my bill… to add insult to injury they added the gratuity to the bill. I overheard the other table object to this and the server/owner told them that it was a new law? No sir, you’re wrong!!! The percentage of gratuity is based on quality of services provided and shouldn’t be forced onto the customers. It’s a awful practice to do business as it deters repeat business! The whole ride back home I violently fantasized about rushing home and hugging my toilet. Good luck to the Owner!

One of my boys introduced me to Redchili and I was not disappointed, esp. with their chicken and lamb combination platter. It could be a lil’ bit more spicier, but that’s just me; otherwise, you’ll find me downing two servings at once. Count me as a fan, not to mention a believer that Suffolk County has its share of good Halal food.

The food is really good. The waiter is really friendly. The only problem is that on occasion I have been given dirty or greasy plates/utensils. Because of that I do take out. Yes, the food is really delicious.

Been going here for a while and the menu has not changed from previous owner but the prices went up. Can’t afford to eat here anymore. Food quality is decent so I will add a star

One of the best Pak/Indo Restaurants on Long Island. They have the best Qorma, Karahi, Tawa Qeema & Biryani in Suffolk County.

Food is good and really tasty for the most part. Samosas are good but drip with oil. I ordered a samosa chat which was one of my most favourite dish on Time out to eat but this time, it was disastrous with an overwhelming amount of chickpeas. Best dish here is the Chicken Makhani. The kebabs are awesome too. Biryanis could be tastier. All in all, a good place with a room for improvement.

Loved the Biryani, samosa chaat and tikka masala. Nice seating area and timely service. Would go again.
