A quaint casual family dining restaurant. It was my husband's first time trying Indian cuisine. He loved it! We started with garlic shrimp and butter naan. He ordered the chicken vindaloo, our daughter ordered chicken Tikka, and I had the mango chicken. It was all perfection!

I've been going to this restaurant for a while now with parties between 2-10 people. The quality of the food never wavers, it always comes out consistently spectacular. I have ordered multiple different dishes and have shared with others in my party and all they serve is absolutely to die for. Every single person a part of their staff is so pleasant to be greeted by and talk to, wonderful people. No to mention, even if you get take out, the food is STILL so amazing. The quality isn't dampened. This place is truly a gem and one of my favorite restaurants in Florida. Wonderful people, To die for food, and nice atmosphere. 1000/5 stars

We had lunch at this Indian restaurant during our visit to Legoland in Winter Haven but as we reached there we saw the name as "Sitar Indian cuisine" which is under new management it said in the banner outside..so seems like it is a new ownership under a new name. We ordered few items and the service and food was good enough for anyone who likes Indian food without much ambience to talk about..maybe they are going thru the process of transition and hopefully it will get better soon..not many Indian options around in that area so this place is good enough for some Indian food.

We went this weekend and we're a little concerned when we saw the sign outside that it is under new management. We loved it last time we were here, and feared the change might not be good. Thankfully, we learned that while under new management, many of the employees remain the same, and the new owner is the brother of the original owner. Everything we ordered was very good, and the place started filling up with people dining in, and lots of people getting takeout while we were there. We will definitely continue going, and hope the new changes don't impact the quality

Just went in for an early dinner and was sooo impressed. The food, service and atmosphere was perfect! We had gulbi for app and chicken tikka masala and butter chicken for dinner. We love Indian food and was in search of a local Indian restaurant and so glad we found this place! The food was soooo good and literally served to you on silver platter lol. The server was so nice, helpful and attentive! we will be back!

I always get a nice spicy Vindaloo, and everytime, the chicken is juicy, the goat is cooked perfectly, the spiciness is perfect! I keep going back because they treat you as human. Go though, they’ll know exactly what you want, a very nice relationship with the hardworking people there. I will continue to go each time to enjoy their very delicious meals! (Plus the atmosphere and feel makes the place feel more authentic). 10/10 everything, please go here!

The food and service were outstanding! They have a good selection of drinks, including some Indian beers. Ibwas chatting to the server and owner(?), and we were treated to some poppadoms and some dips - sooooo good and it was a sign of the delights we were about to enjoy. We had mixed veg pakoras and veg samosa chat for apps - both were very good portions, and the chat was tremendous and is possibly my new fave. We had butter chicken, mixed grill and lamb korma, and garlic & cheese and garlic Naan. Tastebuds had a treat! The dishes were served hot, and the authenticity of the dishes was very evident. Honestly, if looking for a good quality, traditional Indian restaurant, you will find it here. Our server was attentive, very polite, and answered any questions about the dishes clearly. For sure, Chilly is now my go-to place when in need of a curry. Awesome place!

Love the food!! The garlic naan was so delicious, and the butter chicken was the best I've had in awhile. The prices are very good too with good portions. Definitely recommend this place.
