Garlic and Chilli Chicken
................................$At Chilli & Spice, the menu strikes a nice balance between classic Indian favourites and bold, spicy specials that keep you coming back for more. For starters, you’ll find beloved options like onion bhaji and samosas, but the real highlight for me was the Garlic Chilli Chicken (£13.95)-a fiery dish marinated straight from the clay oven and tossed in a punchy garlic and chilli sauce that hits the perfect level of heat without overpowering the succulent chicken pieces. Beyond that, mains span a wide range of curries from rich, creamy Pasanda and Masala to medium Jalfrezi and intensely spicy Naga, so there’s something for every palate. The balti section, served with naan, brings another layer of flavour with fragrant garlic, peppers, and onions that mingle beautifully in the sauce.
Overall, the menu feels thoughtful and hearty, linking traditional dishes with vibrant, modern twists that make eating here feel like a treat rather than just dinner. Whether you’re drawn to classics like Butter Chicken and Curries at accessible prices or want to spice things up with Balti and special dishes, there’s clear variety and confidence in every option. The Garlic Chilli Chicken especially stands out as a must-try for lovers of bold tastes, and it ties the whole menu together as a showcase of what makes this place a beloved local go‑to in Dorking.
