Red Chili Indian Cuisine & Bar

"If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! When you step into the restaurant, there is a huge and beautiful bar in the middle. Seating is sprinkled all around and not too close to other diners, which I LOVE. I need my elbow room when I'm eating. My friend and I ordered drinks to start. I ordered the Pehla Nasha cocktail, which was a watermelon martini with a bubble on top. I was so in awe by the presentation that by the time I took the picture, the bubble popped, hence the smoke effect. I was not expecting such an artful presentation of cocktails at an Indian restaurant! My friend ordered a mojito which she enjoyed! No matter who made the drinks, they taste each drink before serving them to the diner, which is a great method for consistency and quality control. We had several people taking care of us, which is something I'm not used to, but they were cohesive in communicating what we ordered to whoever would bring our food/drinks out. For starters, we ordered the Tandoori Wings. If you've never had Indian cuisine, this is surely a crowd pleaser. You can pick the level of hotness too. We ate every single wing! Next, we ordered our usual, Garlic Naan, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Tikka Masala for our entree. It was seriously the best I've ever had! My friend and I decided to order one more drink. We both ordered a Mai Tai. Baby, when I tell you that Tarak (yes, I asked for his name for this review) put his heart into that drink, it blessed my soul. Upon first sip, I was immediately taken back to a tropical island in the middle of this Winter Wonderland. Run, don't walk to Red Chili Indian Cuisine. You will NOT be disappointed!"

"This was 1st time visit to this place. Nice ambiance. Food was delicious. My husband loved the masala chai. Definitely coming back soon."

"This is the best Indian food I've ever enjoyed. The flavors are complex and exciting while not being too spicy. The drinks selection (usually lacking at Indian places) is filled with a variety of selections. Our drinks were poured strong and delicious, very fulfilling. We couldn't eat more than half the entree we ordered, so keep that in mind when you order for your table, share several dishes! The prices are very good, we only spent so much because we ordered naan, soup and salad to share plus drinks and shared a dessert as well (we couldn't resist). It's truly a pleasure to dine here, I highly recommend them to anyone (there will surely be something you like on the menu even if you aren't used to Indian cuisine) and for any sized group as they have tables large enough for 12+ parties and a spacious restaurant as well. Parking is easy and large too."

"One of our favorite restaurants in St Louis area. Good ambience, spicy and flavorful food, good service, spacious interior, comfortable seats, big bar area and a good bartender who can make any cocktail from a long list of available options. Tarak is an excellent host and he also makes good cocktail drinks."

"This place is amazing! We found it because we were walking across the Chesterfield Mall lot to get to another restaurant for lunch and decided to come here for dinner. It was SO GOOD!!! We had the butter chicken, the chicken Tikka Masala, garlic Naan, and butter Naan. The drinks were amazing! You owe it to yourself to visit Red Chili! I recommend this place 10000%!"
