Exquisite ambience, innovative food and nice service! Went there for the dinner on Valentine’s and it was worth every penny. The dishes are really innovative and still have that touch of Indian food. Apt and balanced spices. Loved the way they have put in so much efforts in improvising the dishes.I ordered butter chicken pot pie, garlic naan, dum biryani, death by chocolate.Dessert was a 3/5 though, it wasn’t really that tasty.

The food was excellent last night. We had the butter chicken pot pie, lamb kebabs, nachos, and sticky ribs- all were delicious. What we didn't like was that our reservation was at 7pm and we weren't seated until 7:30. The host never really apologized and they don't have anywhere to sit and wait.
My experience was excellent, I had a wonderful night I can confidently say I had a serendipity night. To continue, the food we ordered was amazing, the drinks my company and I ordered were non alcoholic but we both liked our own drinks very much. Furthermore, it was a morsel of what a person can expect from India, I am happily surprised.

Delicious food with plenty of options for those who don't eat meat. I went with traditional fare and was not disappointed. everything on the menu looked amazing. I can't wait to come back to try more.

2nd time here (1st time was soft opening and bar not ready yet). Food is still amazing! Waiter definitely is super knowledgeable about the entire menu including drinks! He suggested a couple of drinks off the menu and both were a delight! Definitely will be back. 1 small comment is the “pastry” for the pani puri poppers were a little bit too big to be taken as a single bite.
We love Cali Chilli's food and staff. Having dinner there is something we look forward to immensely. It is an experience in itself. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Now I know why there are Michelin stars! Our meal during Long Beach Dine Out was excellant. The chef creates unique dishes inspired by his Indian background. Not only was the food delicious but the cocktails made by the bartender looked so unique and inviting. We definitely want to come back and taste some of those creations. We're so glad we chose CaliChilli for a special dinner out!
