About Chillies Indian Restaurant
Chillies on Heaton Road is a long-established neighbourhood Indian restaurant and balti house near the Shieldfield end of Heaton, serving a broad menu of traditional curries, baltis, tandoori dishes and biryanis to eat in or take away. It covers the full range from milder korma and masala dishes through to the hotter madras and vindaloo end, with plenty for vegetarians, which makes it a dependable choice for a group with mixed tastes.
Handily placed close to the city and the student streets, it works both as a sit-down restaurant and for collection and delivery, and offers the kind of keenly priced balti-house menu that has kept it popular for years. As always, it is worth confirming current opening hours and booking ahead at the weekend.
