India’s Most Celebrated Chef Opens Yellow Chilli at The District

The Yellow Chilli, the fast growing Indian restaurant chain from Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, is now open at The District at Tustin Legacy.

Kapoor, perhaps India’s most beloved and acclaimed culinary icon, lends his star power to the modern American adaptation of his critically-lauded Northern Indian cuisine.

The Yellow Chilli offers a diverse range of chef Kapoor’s signature dishes, including: Paneer/Chicken Tikka and Avocado Salad, with spicy cottage cheese, Chicken Tikka and creamy avocado in vinaigrette; Shabham ke Moti, fresh mushroom caps stuffed with a spiced cheese mixture; Tandoori Seabass marinated in North Indian spices, cooked to perfection in a clay oven; Murgh Angaar Bedgi, chicken tikka spiced with special begdi chilies; Shaam Savera, spinach-covered cheese dumplings in a velvety tomato gravy; Meen Moilee, fish cooked in ground coconut curry with ginger and chilies; Nalli Rogan Josh, lamb shank with chilli and yogurt and Lalla Mussa Dal, a slow-cooked black lentil stew.

Dessert-lovers can look forward to a variety of delectable options, from Gulab e-Gulkand, Indian-style doughnuts stuffed with rose petal compote to Kesari Kulti with Rabdi, Indian saffron-spiked ice cream with flavored condensed milk.

Additionally, the restaurant features a full bar and patio seating.

The Yellow Chilli is at 2463 Park Avenue, near AMC Tustin 14. 714.389.5280.
