Very delicious, although some food that is not spicy is a little spicy.

Chilli Padi offers a delicious range of halal Pan-Asian dishes in a cozy, welcoming setting. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff—both the server and front-of-house—were friendly, attentive, and efficient. On our first visit, we tried the stir-fried noodles, salt and chili chips, spring rolls, and smoked chicken—all flavorful and satisfying. Portion sizes were generous, and prices were reasonable. With the endless menu options, I’d recommend looking at the menu before arriving to help with decisions. Overall, I highly recommend Chilli Padi and will definitely be returning. 4.5/5.

The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. There was a bit of a wait to get served initially, and it took a little longer than expected to receive water. However, the staff’s attentiveness and willingness to assist made up for the minor delays. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with great food and accommodating service.

We made a reservation at this restaurant and experienced only a minimal wait time, despite the restaurant being very busy. Our starters and drinks arrived without any issues, and the service initially was attentive, though it understandably slowed down later on due to the crowd. For our main courses, we ordered mee goreng, nasi goreng, and roti canai. While most dishes were enjoyable, the nasi goreng was somewhat disappointing, as it tasted primarily of tomato puree or sauce—quite different from any nasi goreng I’ve had before. I would consider returning to explore other dishes, though perhaps the restaurant could reconsider the recipe for this one.

I ordered a delivery tonight, first the food. I ordered the smoked chicken (without chilli) when it arrived it was covered in bird's-eye chilli and the chicken was so overcooked it was inedible. The prawn dumplings the prawn inside was nice but had to pull all of the dumpling off it as it was hard. The egg fried rice was beautiful. I was really gutted as this was really expensive for a takeaway. I rang up and was told to call uber eats even though there is no option to call them and uber didn't screw the food up. The food was also cold when it arrived, I was told I was his 4th delivery, he had collected my food an hour and a half before I received it. That's on uber eats though... Never again .. would not recommend

Food was left standing for an hour before being delivered by Uber eats. I could see that they were struggling to get an Uber driver and still let the order go out. Arrived stone cold, this is the coldest I’ve ever received a delivery. The restaurant should have done the decent thing and remade it.

It's our first time trying Chilli Padi, and we went for nasi lemak, a signature Malaysian dish. The chicken is a 7 out of 10. It's perfectly seasoned and juicy, though not as crispy as a traditional nasi lemak compared to another restaurant in the area that serves it. The coconut rice serving is generous and perfectly cooked. The anchovies, however, are not crispy at all, which makes them the low point of the dish. The high point would be the sambal. A generous serving with amazing taste. We also ordered the prawns in chili. While that dish is well-flavored, the prawns are gummy and taste frozen, not allowing the spice to penetrate them properly. It's a bonus to see Milo Dinosaur on the drink menu, as we don't generally have Milo available.

I won't eat at this restaurant in the future. Not recommended either. Ordered takeout from this restaurant today. The takeout has plastic bags, and coconut rice has lids. When I am ready to eat, my friend asked me to share a photo and then he found a stapler needle on it. I can't imagine what would happen if I ate it directly. I called the restaurant immediately. The staff said it might be a delivery issue and asked me to contact the food delivery app because they don't have a driver to pick up or return the food. I don't think the courier would open so many layers of packaging and put needles on the rice, and there is no strong response to complaints on the delivery app.

First time trying Malaysian food, honestly a bit disappointed. Not sure if it just wasn't for me however I generally love all Asian food. The ingredients weren't amazingly fresh tasting, the sauces were quite plain and the rice was not the nicest. The only thing that comes to mind is that it tastes similar to something coming out of a restaurant chain. On top of that we ended up spending £50 for two mains, two drinks and a side, many places in Newcastle for better value.

Firstly we are Chilli Padi addicts!!! But this was not of the standard expected. Can someone explain why when I ask for "everything together" ( that being simply, a bowl of soup,1 x spicy prawns,1x butter chicken, 1 x rice and noodles) it comes out firstly a single bowl of rice, then 5 minutes later my spicy prawns come out. We try them, find the rice cold and the prawns cool - so,we send it back. Then , the butter chicken appears- cool at best - it gets sent back. The only thing hot ,was the spicy soup!!! It all been sent back........... Eventually we are both eating the dishes we ordered at a respectable temperature. Hot Food!! Then,whilst still eating, a lass arrives asking if she can clear plates ,- that still had food on- unreal What's going on!!! During this episode ,we timed the placement of a single bowl of rice on a table of maybe 10 people. It was nearly 4 minutes before food starting arriving ,plate by plate. Was the rice hot when eaten? Well at £5 a bowl, it bloody well should be!! Then ,when paying for this meal for 2 people,the lass asked me if i wanted my " change" -which was nearly £14 !!! Are these people real? Suffice to say after that experience,I wanted every penny. Not the best experience,we will try elsewhere next time ..... ..

I'm in Newcastle for a few weeks but this store is pretty great. Had the Chili Ban Mian (Pan Mian), its a pretty good balance between a little spicy from the chili paste while the onions and anchovies add a bit of texture to the noodles. It is pretty expensive if you come from other countries considering the exchange rates (applies to all places in the UK) but it has a pretty massive portion and is definitely is a place to try at least once.

The food might be good but the professionalism is below zero. Ordered food on 13/07 at 7pm with estimated delivery around 20:25. Got the food at 21:38. Called the place 3 times to hear different excuses. First time saying the driver was doing some deliveries first, second time it was leaving the restaurant (so not with the driver) and third time "we do not know where your order is". All I got was empty "sorry we are too busy" but if you are unable to do the requests then you should not take it in first place. And nothing, nothing except a terrible management can justify 2h35 to deliver an order.

We were lucky to get a table as it was pretty busy. So, it’s probably best to book in advance. The place looked pretty basic, but the staff were friendly and efficient, plus the food was fantastic. There were lots of vegetarian options (far more than most restaurants, so I was overwhelmed having choices). We had to ask for chopsticks as there were only knives and forks on our table, but a staff member was immediately over with some. I liked that the straws were edible, they were made from rice and more durable than paper straws. It didn’t take long for our order (the starter came out at the same time as the main course). The portions were big, full of flavour and really tasty. I’d highly recommend and will definitely return in the near future.

Do not got to this if you’re a person of colour or black. The instant we walked in the staff were unfriendly, they took the order of the table next us that arrived after us despite being obviously ready to order. Staff took ages to come and to our order, despite not being that busy. Their tone with us was very blunt in comparison to a warm/bubbly to a fully white customers. We bagged up our own leftovers, despite every other table getting their leftovers bagged up.

Found this place on recommendation of a friend. So glad we went! Food was fabulous, spicy, but not too much, large portions with enough to take home. Stars off were for having to go find the waiter to take our order and the time it took (after reminding them) to get the drinks to us. The food however was quick to show up and tasted so good! Little pricey overall, but then where isn't these days. Went on a Thursday evening and had booked online, but there were still a few tables available.

We have been the biggest fans of Chilli Padi since we first started going to their old premises almost 10 years ago. We have always been their biggest fans - takeaways during Covid, always visiting in town for lunch/ tea etc but we were disappointed in recent visit. It is so much more expensive than it was, I understand everything has gone up in price but it was almost £18 for some mains and they just didn’t deliver on taste. Mango chicken wasn’t as tasty as it used to be, firecracker chicken was a small portion for the price and lacked oomph. Kids loved the noodles but me and husband came away feeling robbed. We had no alcohol and food was just mediocre yet we had expensive bill. Please return to previous quality and we’ll be back!

Honestly don't get the hype about this place. We've been two times and both times our experience has been consistently bad. After a very disappointing first time, we decided to give it a go again thinking it was just one off day. We ordered the smoked chicken dish which everyone raves about and to be honest can't understand the craze. Our chicken was dry, tough, hard to chew and tasted like it was dunked it syrup! It was like having chicken for pudding!! The other half ordered Nasi Lemak which definitely didn't taste fresh, the chicken was tough and dry like it's been microwaved to death!! Very disappointing considering the price! All the other dishes we ordered had a common theme, an overload of salt, sugar and probably MSGs! We also ordered jasmine rice only to br served plaim rice but charged for jasmine,which is more expensive. If you enjoy freshly made authentic Malaysian food with quality ingredients, do yourself a favour don't spend your time and money here. Don't be.fooled by the good reviews, it has a cult following mostly made possible by so called local 'influencers' marketing this place in return for free food. If your palate enjoys salty, processed food full of additives then this is the place to be!

We wanted some food after being at the Newcastle game, with the town being super busy and everyone piling out at the same time, we weren't sure we'd get in anywhere, passed Chilli Padi which I've been dying to try out for ages and I thought we'd see if they could fit the two of us in! They were very busy, with booking for eating in and takeaways, but within 10 minutes we had a seat, we'd been looking at the menu whole waiting so ordered pretty quick, we went for the Smoked Chicken (which was what I'd been wanting to try from reviews I'd seen), Sweet and sour chicken, soft noodles and salt and chilli chips. The amount of food was unreal, but it certainly wasn't quantity over quality because everything was super tasty, full of flavour and very quick coming out, the Smoked chicken was perfectly cooked and not too spicy, the sweet and sour was steaming hot and well, exactly what you'd want from a sweet and sour, the best I've had actually. The sides we'd ordered, the soft noodles, were great and I loved the fact there was plenty of veg in them, salt and chilli chips were also beautiful! We couldn't get through all of the food with it just being the two of us, but I didn't want to stop eating, we brought 4 cartons of food home which will be a very enjoyable lunch for the following day! The pricing for the amount of food is really good and actually for what we ordered, I think you could have fed a family of 4, cant wait to go back

Good place to go for a meal. I'm not used to the taste of their food. However, the whole experience was good.

Authentic and great quality. It is hard to find restaurants that serve authentic tastes to far East Asian food rather than a modified westernised recipe with too much sauce or sugar. Chilli Padi did it just right. Such a gem, I'm so glad my friend brought me here. The Laksa chicken noodles were sooooo good. Spicy enough to make me ask for extra water but friendly enough for my friend to help herself for more servings. Reasonable prices too. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try real far East Asian food in Newcastle. Interior is clean, modern and decorated with a cute graffiti counter. Update: since my first visit, I've come here plenty of times for catching up with friends and even for a date. :P🌹 They do takeaways and deliveries too!

As a Malaysian, food was average and nothing to boast about. Service was good but I have been to this restaurant 3 separate times, and I haven't been fully satisfied the past 3 times. Ordered the beef rendang but it wasn't very flavourful. Nasi Lemak, the chicken was dry. Roti Canai was good.

I chose curry with rice, she chose chicken pieces with rice, and we chose a side dish of steamed or smoked chicken from the sweet-tasting variety. It was the most delicious among the selected dishes, despite much praise, but I did not succeed in our variety. Thank you

Disclaimer is that these are old photos,I haven’t dined in this lovely place for months due to taking the food out but I rarely do that. I hope to dine in sometime again,the indian style noodles were absolutely fantastic along with the dumplings and soy sauce. It would definitely cost 40 pound or more if your with 3 people and your careful with what you order. Even if it’s pricey,the food is worth it. Plus the place is Halal.

I've had food from here a few times, I just feel like they deserve a good review. Food has always been on point, noodles are delicious and they have some of the best and crispiest calamari. Can't go wrong with these guys, yes the dishes can get pricey but it's worth it for a treat. Really can't complain!

The food was delicious. Staff very friendly but my criticism is that our dishes didn't arrive all at once to the table. There were three of us. They first brought a plate of chips which was a side to my son's main, several minutes later they brought my daughter's main, then after some time my son's and eventually mine. It's not ideal the rest of your party has to wait while others are already eating. At the same time waiting for all the of the dishes to arrive would mean the food brought first would get cold. They need to coordinate this better as the food is delicious and this part of the service is getting them down.

I come here a lot. Today I got a takeaway and was disappointed to say the least. There was a large piece of eggshell in my food.

Stopped here for dinner as staying locally over night for work. Service was a little slow and it wasn’t too busy, staff were really friendly though. Food was great and full of flavour. The only thing I question is we had the set meal for £14.95. But apart from the starter everything else was extra. So really it’s a set meal for around £20. Not a huge issue, but kinda false advertising.

Very disappointing visit a couple of weeks ago. Nudo has been my favourite restaurant in Newcastle for the past 10 years. The quality of the food, the great value and good ambience. I was very sad to see it had a new menu/concept. For me, picking my own ingredients and choosing a sauce was underwhelming. The food was fine, but not something I would want to have again. I thought it was expensive for what I ate as well. Kids like the novelty, but I won't be coming back. I'll try the Eldon Square version as I believe they have some of the previous menu.

Me and my partner popped in Sunday afternoon so it was quite quiet but still a lovely atmosphere, staff were very friendly and helpful with questions regarding the menu. I had the salmon panang curry and it’s been my Roman Empire ever since, it’s my new fave Thai dish that I can’t stop thinking about, my partner had pad thai and he said it was very traditional and authentic

Después de leer algunos comentarios negativos, tuve que agregar mis pensamientos. Habiendo aparecido en una hora de almuerzo para una caja para llevar de comida mixta. Tienes que seleccionar y llenar tu caja desde el baño maría al lado de la ventana. El lugar es pequeño y estábamos haciendo cola con la oficina local y los trabajadores de la construcción. Nos sorprendió tanto la buena relación calidad-precio de la comida que decidimos regresar unos días más tarde para sentarnos dentro y nuevamente quedamos muy impresionados con la comida y el servicio.
