"Red Chillez is hands down the best in town for butter chicken and naans! The butter chicken is rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor, and the naans are perfectly soft and fresh. The portions are huge — easily enough to share — and the value for the quality and quantity is unbeatable. Honestly, the best money I’ve ever spent on a meal. Highly recommend!
"
"Red Chillez Indian Cuisine has quickly become a culinary gem in Ankeny. The menu celebrates authentic Indian flavors with a special emphasis on South Indian delicacies. Standout dishes include the Karampodi series of appetizers, offering the perfect blend of spice and crunch, and the richly layered biryanis that transport you straight to Hyderabad. Each dish reflects attention to detail, from freshly ground spices to perfectly balanced seasoning. Beyond the food, the restaurant delivers warm hospitality and an inviting dining space, making it equally suited for family dinners or special gatherings. Red Chillez isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience of India’s rich food culture."

"The naan was extremely small compared to what you get from other local indian restaurants for similar price and the raita was watery. All the other food tasted great though. "
"Overall, the food was okay. I hadn't tried this restaurant yet and they have great reviews.
The Garlic Nan was disappointing, it was very hard especially around the edges. The Vegetable Biryani was fairly good. It was lacking some flavor, but the portion size was large. They do charge extra for a very small amount of raita."

"This is the best Indian food in town. Not only is the food made fresh and with love, the customer service is exceptional. I placed a catering order for my company event recently and not only the owner gave a great pricing, they offered to set it up for free. Awesome family owned business. This is my goto spot for great fresh food."
"food came nicely and warm. However, quantity/portion has gone down since they first opened. flavour wasn't truly there for the food. Overall was a disappointed meal.
Goat Curry was very small for such a price. Asked to get extra spicy. Doesn't seem to be any different.
Paneer Tikka was extremely dry. The Paneer was like rubber. Non sponginess that you get from typical paneer. They were burnt. Green pepper weren't. very small portion for such price point.
Mango Lassi was good as always.
Naan was a mess. some burnt worse than other. about 50% of the 2 naans were just crunchy like crackers... what!!!
Tandoori Roti was moist and good."

"Thankfully one of the few good options open on Christmas Eve night! The 17. Vegetables Momo (8) & sauce were amazing & slightly spicy, so beautifully wrapped too. 2. Vegetable Samosa (2) were a 10/10. And the 106. Garlic Naan was perfectly garlicky too. "
"The 34. Palak Aloo was flavorful and great with the rice and 113. Aloo Paratha . i do wish the bread was more buttery and seasoned, but I still ate it all. The 106. Garlic Naan was not my favorite-kind of a raw garlic flavor and the bread wasn't a great texture. I love 5. Papadum (2) and it was really good from here, if you havent tried it before its like a giant fried chip/crisp with seasoning and it's just a fun snack or appetizer."

"Everything was amazing! The service was fast, and it all came hot and fresh. I am obsessed with the Lava Noodle, it was so flavorful. We got it "hot" and the spice was not overpowering at all. Shrimp in a Blanket is always a go to since it is served in a crunchy wrapper with a sweet sauce. The Lunch-Yellow Curry (GF) and Garlic Fried Rice were great as well. Flavor was outstanding, and the portion sizes are very large."
"The sesame chicken was just chicken nuggets with sesame sauce. The pad Thai was flavorless and mushy. This was my favorite Thai place but I will probably never order there again. I'm not sure what happened today but I paid far too much for such low quality."

"Iowa Pork Tenderloin was fantastic. thick and meaty and crunchy. fries were very good too. both still hot when arrived. great quality food and service."
"The Fish and Chips probably would have been good if not ordered on door dash. Putting hot fried food in styrofoam makes everything squishy and soft. Not exactly what you're looking for in a classic dish. Scotch Egg was fine, bit small portion for the price. Wish there had been another to split. Probably won't order again."
