“I ordered Chicken Chettinad (half) with roti. They served a very small portion of chicken curry with a small piece of roti, which was not enough for me, so I ordered one more. I waved my hand many times before the staff came to take the order, and the roti was served late. Since I was on a break, I could not wait that long. I finished quickly and went to the counter without saying anything, as I thought it was not good to complain. I also heard similar complaints from the nearby table — they too faced delays in food service. When I was at the counter, the person serving food misbehaved with me. I told him I was in a hurry and didn’t have the patience to listen, but he argued that the delay was only 5 minutes, while in reality it was 10–12 minutes. The reason I am writing this is that the management must give proper training to the staff on customer behaviour and communication, and also provide correct information if there is any delay. My intention here is only to suggest improvements in service. The food quantity was less, but taste-wise it was good.”

Confirm buffet. Ask which dishes are included before serving yourself, especially whether fried fish is extra and whether you need the special pothichoru.
Allow time. Avoid ordering here when you have a short break or tight delivery window; reviews report delays at the table and for delivery.
Check freshness. Inspect salads and prepared food before eating, as one customer found the vegetables with charcoal chicken hard and not fresh.
Ask for prices. Clarify add-ons and small extras before paying; customers have reported separate charges for fish, water and additional pappad.
Try classics. For a first order, consider the specifically praised puttu kadal, fresh milk tea or Chicken Kalimirchi Tikka rather than untested dishes.
Check hygiene. A first-time visitor specifically suggested checking hygiene practices, including hair caps and hand gloves.

Reviews describe delays ranging from 10–12 minutes for food to 30 minutes for a tea and almost 90 minutes for delivery.
Some customers report rude staff, poor communication and difficulty getting attention, including a 20-minute wait for the bill.
A Chicken Chettinad half with roti was described as a very small portion that was not enough for the customer.
Reviews include complaints of stale or smelly food, undercooked roti and poor-quality fish and mutton.
One buffet customer said fried fish was placed beside buffet dishes without clear pricing and appeared on the final bill separately.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Green Chillies is a Kerala restaurant in Discovery Gardens with a broad mix of familiar South Indian dishes and grills. The clearest review-backed draws are fresh milk tea, puttu kadal, Chicken Kalimirchi Tikka and Chicken Pollichatu. Customers also return for biryani, curry and evening tea with snacks, so it works for anything from a quick chai stop to a substantial meal.
The lunch buffet is useful for diners who want variety: one review describes rice, up to five sides, pickle, pappad and payasam, with a reported price of AED 12. Another review says beef fry or fish fry could cost up to AED 8 extra. Free parking has also been mentioned, which makes the Discovery Gardens location convenient for local diners.
Service is the main reason to be cautious. While some customers describe cooperative staff and speedy service, others report waiting 10–12 minutes for food, 30 minutes for tea, 20 minutes for a bill, or almost 90 minutes for delivery. Food feedback is similarly mixed, from delicious grilled items to complaints about stale food, hard mutton, undercooked roti and poor-quality fish.
Ask about buffet inclusions and extras before serving or paying, and allow plenty of time if you are ordering during a short break.
