Chilli Padi in Newcastle upon Tyne

Tasty nasi goreng kampong and Squid belacan. The egg fried rice was expensive for a small bowl. Staff didn't give us a long time to think of what to order because the kitchen is closing at at approximately 15:30.

📍Chilli Padi, Newcastle Upon TyneAnother Malaysian Restaurant in Newcastle, this spot is clearly a favourite amongst locals. I hear that the founder happens to be from Sibu, a town in Sarawak.It was lovely to have food resembling home. With so many dishes to choose from, I had a hard time deciding on what I had to try.The ‘Aubergine & Sliced Fish with Rice’ was delicious. Thick clear sauce, generous in amount, with large slices of fish pieces fried in batter.My friend loved the ‘Mango Tofu’. Savoury and sweet, the dish was lovely. The vegetarian curry, however, felt a little blend. Perhaps, to cater to the general tongues, spices here have to be a little mellowed.How nice it is to be reminded of home once again through cuisine served here.*the food prepared here are from halal sources

@scranbibles INSTAGRAMFirst time after hearing good things. So to start the resteraunt itself doesn't look up too much, nothing fancy at all. Lots of Malaysian drinks but no elaboration on the menu as to what they are. Staff are pleasant enough, now onto the food. All the dishes didn't come together however there wasn't much of a wait between them but I'd prefer to be served my sides and mains at once . The food it's self was sooo tasty 😋 I opted for the smoked chicken which I was recommended and it was delicious! The size difference between the starter and main version isnt much either! I got salt and chilli chips and king prawn also. My friend got the Chong Qing Spicy chicken and this was not for the faint hearted 🌶🌶🌶 my god so flavoursome but red hot and I like spice... there is sooo much on the menu so I would go back to try more stuff, the food was Fab! They have a decent size veggie menu also .

A restaurant of it's own kind. Never fails to impress with their majestic taste of Malaysian food. Fantastic

Ordered the Malaysian style mee goreng and Nasi Lemak. Good portion size thus value for money, however, the fried chicken in the nasi lemak was overcooked hence it was very dry and tough, the anchovies wasn't the crispy kind but rather the chewy kind. Mee goreng taste great though!

Overall we were happy and satisfied with the foods. Loved the Malay Char Kueh Tiaw & Mee Goreng, curry laksa was alright but not the authentic taste we expected, the only disappointment was the Ice Bandung which seemed having a taste that making the Bandung didn’t taste like Bandung.

I’m Malaysian and I don’t understand why people say the food here is nice and authentic. It’s not at all, their wat tan hor tastes way too different from what I have in Malaysia. The texture of the hor fun is so weird and they didn’t fry their hor fun like what we did in Malaysia.Their Chilli Pan Mian was the worst chilli pan mian I’ve ever had. Nothing like the chilli pan mian in Malaysia. They are not even using handmade pan mian, instead they are using some sort of chinese noodles called 刀削面… It’s really horrible…Their Curry Laksa was acceptable but I think they are using curry paste packets for their soup just like their har mee’s (prawn noodles) soup.My friend ordered their Char Kueh Teow and she requested no spicy for it but it came with chilli and it’s quite spicy. She tried to send it back but the staff said it can’t be changed as the sauce they use is spicy. It’s really ridiculous… She had suffer the heat to finish it…Staffs were not friendly and slow response. Not recommended. Will not come back! If you are looking for authentic Malaysian food you can try 2000 mamak (might change their name in the future) in Glasgow. Their food is way better.

Beautiful staff. So friendly. The food was tasty, totally enjoyed it. Portions were good and the fair pricing

I should've went for the chicken bites instead of the wings because the bites looked flavoursome and juicy, whilst the wings were somewhat plain with the spicy sauce.Got beef rendang with rice and it came with a very healthy portion. Was nice and very spicy.Not a fan of the 100x Malaysian drink.

Incredible food and an amazing amount of choice from the menu. I will be back sorely on the food menu as the customer service was absolutely shocking. My booking was on Saturday night at 19:30, which I understand is a busy time however, I arrived early and was shown my table while I waited for my friends, I waited 15 minutes before my friends arrived and not once was I approached by a member of staff to take a drinks order or if I was okay. Once my friends arrived after another 15minutes we flagged a waitress down our self to place our order. Half of a meal was placed on our table with no words, our drinks hadn't arrived at this point and no other meals were brought to our table. After 5 minutes of waiting our drinks were slammed onto the table by staff, no communication said while this happened and shortly after our food arrived. No staff approached up through our meal, no one asked how our meal was, did we need anything else, we were completely ignored. We finally had to flag a waitress down again to pay our bill. It's a shame really as it ruined the whole evening.
