Chilli India, The name itself specifies the level of spiciness in the food. if any one is looking for a hint of spiciness in their food, then this place is worth a try for Biryani's and Thali's. Very good Options of Curries and Biriyani's. Goat/Chicken Biriyani is must a try here. Only problem is with seating and timings. And the restaurant has to maintain something which is famous for always, where they lack in saying they Biriyani is finished and cannot be served at the time when customers comes there with mouthwatering to have a delicious biriyani which in turn kills the appetite and interest to choose this restaurant again

It’s a perfect place if one wants to enjoy a typical Hyderabad biryani. It’s flavoursome and gives one hit of nostalgia while in Australia. The North Indian fair is something that can be skipped. The South Indian cuisine is quite good. All in all a great experience, though a bit heavy on the pocket.

Today, I tried the Biryani at Chilli India, one of the best Indian restaurants in Australia. The Biryani was delicious and everything about the experience was exceptional.

This restaurant is always busy serving authentic Hyderabadi cuisine. The Chicken 65 is a standout dish, and their Dragon and Chicken Manchurian are also enjoyable. The Chicken Biryani is decent, but consistency may be an issue as it can vary in spice levels. It seems like there are different chefs preparing it. We've noticed that the biryani is usually better on Saturdays. Overall, this is our favorite spot for fiery Indian dishes.
