Overview

Chili Chat Indian Cuisine Restaurant, tucked away at 23 Station Rd in Thompson, MB, offers a culinary journey into rich Indian flavors that resonates deeply with both locals and travelers alike. The restaurant’s modest exterior belies the vibrant taste experiences inside, where hearty dishes and warm hospitality create a welcoming dining atmosphere.

The menu shines with thoughtfully prepared highlights such as the crispy Spring Rolls and the richly spiced Paneer Bhurjee, drawing in guests seeking authentic textures and layers of flavor. Noteworthy are the sizzlers, especially the Veggie Sizzling Platter and the Chef Special Platter, which, though requiring a slightly longer wait, reward patience with sizzling, aromatic bites that demonstrate careful kitchen craftsmanship.

Biryani enthusiasts will find a diverse selection, ranging from succulent Chicken, Shrimp, and Lamb options to a decadent Chili Chat Deluxe Biryani. These dishes are perfectly balanced, each spoonful delivering fragrant basmati rice infused with traditional spices and tender proteins or vegetables, embodying the heart of Indian culinary tradition.

Non-vegetarian mains like Karahi Chicken and Butter Chicken offer robust, comforting sauces that cling deliciously to each bite. Whether sampled during a brief stopover or enjoyed as a prepared meal on the go—as some patrons have done en route to Churchill—the food remains fresh and flavorful, testament to Chili Chat’s commitment to consistency and quality.

The dining experience is enhanced by attentive and friendly service, creating an inviting environment for all—from busy travelers seeking a quick yet satisfying meal, to locals craving a memorable taste adventure. Although the decor leans toward simplicity, it is the authenticity and heart in every dish that truly define this space.

Chili Chat Indian Cuisine Restaurant appeals broadly to those who appreciate genuine Indian cuisine without pretension; it’s a destination for anyone in Thompson who values flavor, generous portions, and a taste that lingers long after the meal is finished.

I've been to 39 countries, every major city in Canada and almost every town in between. Chili Chat takes the cake as the best Indian cuisine I've had. Although their sizzler plates take a big longer than your average lunch dish are worth the wait. My 3rd time in 2 visits to Thompson. Don't let the exterior or decor fool you as it does look a bit dated. This food is phenomenal.

Popped in here for some great food during a train stopover. The servers were friendly and fast! Very pleasant experience. We ordered: (1) Gobi Pakora. Nicely made and sauce was good. (2) Butter Chicken and rice. The sauce was excellent. Delicious. (3) Buttered Naan. Very nicely made. (4) Mango smoothie: delicious for walk back to train! (5) Veggie Samosas for a late afternoon supper on train!! Fairly priced. Easy access. Very good people. Must go to for great food!

We pre-ordered two meals, to be frozen. Packed them up and took them on the train to Churchill. In Churchill we heated the meals and enjoyed delicious Indian Cuisine.

Absolutely delicious food. Authentic flavour and portions are big enough for leftovers. It’s definitely a change from Boston Pizza. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Thompson.

The customer service is wonderful! I really love how the lady took car of my family and I. Very generous portions! Phenomenal taste. Better than any Indian food I've tried from Vancouver, Brampton, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, etc. So glad that we chose Chili Chat for our last meal in Thompson!
