Loved the food. Nothing on the menu is marked vegan but the staff were very helpful and went through which items in the vegetarian menu were either vegan or could be made vegan. My daughter, who isn't vegan, also chose from the vegan options, so that we could share the plates. The food was really good but it was the excellent service that prompted me to write this review.
At chilis the food was very good. As they tell you themselves when you eat there, everything is made from scratch. Everything is really tasty and you can choose a spice level for almost all dishes. As for the vegan options, there are quite some possibilities. I guess about 3/4 starters and 5/6 main dishes. For desert some sorbet ice cream. For vegan sides there’s plain basmati rice, roti and papadums. Note that you do have to mention that you eat vegan, because some vegetarian dishes may contain lactose of some kind. They can leave that out when they know you’re vegan.
I always call them to double check which vegetarian dishes can be made vegan and how hot we'd like each dish, They are great on the phone, really knowledgeable and always double check things. The dishes can be ordered HOT too which I love. The food is absolutely gorgeous and definitely the best Indian in Newbury however it is very expensive for takeaway so we order from them a lot less than we would if they were cheaper. A great celebration or pay day treat though!!
Out of the many Indian restaurants I've been to across England, this is a hidden gem! You can taste that they're freshly made. They know what vegan means and can make most of the vegetarian menu vegan.
