The Art ofIndian Dining
Royal biryanis, slow-simmered curries, and Kerala house specialties — crafted in small batches in Sterling Heights.
our story
Feel the heat of Indian spices
At Red Chillies, every dish begins the way our grandmothers taught us — fresh masalas ground that morning, dum biryani layered for hours, fish wrapped in banana leaf the old Kerala way.
We pull from across the subcontinent: Hyderabadi dum, Chettinad fire, Punjabi tandoor, Goan vinegar, Indo-Chinese street heat. One kitchen, many regions, one obsession with doing it right.
