The Yellow Chilli Tustin

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

Went in for an early lunch with my wife. First customers but we had no idea what to choose so we took our time with a drink. Ordered and then waited and waited and waited... Eventually the food arrived. My wife had cottage cheese dumplings and she liked all 3 of the dumplings. The naan bread was flat and greasy. Not puffy at all. I had a chicken on the bone dish. I would not do that again. One skinny drumstick and 3 tiny gristly bits of a wing. Picture provided. The sauce was good but for $22 was very poor value. The ambience is what you expect next to a busy road into the mall but had irritating Indian pop music trying to drown out the sound. When the guy came to take the plates I complained about the meat but he didn't seem to care. Said he'd tell the chef. Would not go back.

Absolutely outstanding! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. A fantastic dining experience from start to finish — I can’t wait to come back!

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 serve

One of the best places for Indian food in South Cali. Ranju Ji is the best host you can find. I would love to revisit. The flavors and spices were a perfect combination.
