The Yellow Chilli Tustin

We have been a regular customer of Yellow Chilli for about 3 years. We absolutely love this place! Michael here is a great and experienced bartender and server! His drinks are always 10/10. Kirti is a great server there as well. Their service is top notch. Yes, they take a little longer but for the quality food we get here, that wait is justified all the time!

Horrible experience at this restaurant for Valentine's Day! We initially had a reservation for 5:45pm but were contacted to move the reservation up to 5:30pm. When we arrived, there was a line out the door with no host(s) to seat anyone until 5:38pm. Upon receiving the Valentine's Day menu, which was $120 for 2 drinks, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts, we asked for the regular menu because we did not like the predetermined food options (and we added up the prices to find that the regular menu was actually cheaper). When we received the regular menu, the waiter did not come back to take our order until 6:11pm, almost 40 minutes later! We had to track down a waiter in a different section to take our order. In addition, the food took forever to come out and was only expedited and served at 6:40pm because we were about to get up and leave. It should not take over an hour to receive food for any dinner service, regardless of the holiday. If the restaurant was fully booked, I'd be more understanding for the lack of service. However, more than half of the tables were empty. I also urge the restaurant staff to retrain in food safety practices. Since I was seated directly in front o

I was really disappointed with my Valentine’s Day experience at The Yellow Chilli. They squeezed in far too many foldable tables to maximize seating, but most of them were unstable and wobbly, which made the dining experience uncomfortable. The restaurant felt extremely chaotic and overcrowded rather than warm and enjoyable, as you would expect on a special occasion like Valentine’s Day. The menu was very limited, and the biggest issue was the wait time — it took almost 2 hours for the food to arrive. The entire atmosphere felt rushed and disorganized, as if the focus was more on earning as much money as possible that day rather than ensuring guests had a pleasant experience. Valentine’s Day is meant to be special and memorable, but unfortunately, the chaos, long waits, and overcrowding made it stressful instead of enjoyable.

The Yellow Chilli is a modern take on traditional Indian cuisine, playful flavors, colorful ambience, and overall friendly staff create a nice dining experience. We tried a few dishes: Pudina Seekh (Appetizer) Minty lamb mince on skewers, cooked in the clay oven. Well-seasoned, tender, and surprisingly flavorful. We enjoyed this one. Lazeez Murgh Tikka Masala The sauce was rich and flavorful, but the amount of chicken was noticeably less compared to the bell peppers. Still enjoyable, but the balance could be better. We paired it with plain basmati rice which was nicely cooked. Chicken Biryani Lots of flavor and a generous portion. Arnold Palmer (Lemonade + Iced Tea) The drink looked much better than it tasted. It was very average, mostly tasted like ice rather than lemonade or iced tea. Overall, it’s a good spot to try modern Indian dishes with great presentation. The service and ambiance make it worth a visit at least once.
