Meet the Hockley Community: Hey Chilli

Hey!Chili is one of the newest restaurants on the Hockley scene and offers a selection of Southeast Asian dishes with a modern twist. The restaurant has a funky neon coloured sign and rather basic and minimal interior. Don’t be put off this somewhat austere appearance as the food is truly colourful and delivered with great expertise. With their first branch opening in Loughbough in 2021 these guys know what they are doing. While the menu at first seems a bit of a mish mash of choices, it's all executed with the same level of quality and precision and actually works really well. Their Ramen dishes are particularly good and despite the popularity of this Japanese classic in the UK it’s been hard to find a good one in Nottingham for some time. Hey! Chilli is fast, well executed and makes for a really fun lunch and dinner, a great spot to drop in when you need something fast,delicious and relatively healthy.
