ChilliPadi Docklands — Restaurant in Melbourne

Tried Chillipadi Docklands through a special deal on TooGoodToGo for my first order and honestly expected just average takeaway food — but was pleasantly surprised at the quality, especially at the discounted price. Ended up trying them twice on separate occasions.

The laksa-style tofu curry had lighter, more balanced flavours — not the heavy, rich kind, which actually made sense for a quick, easy meal (probably aimed at office workers nearby). The Japanese curry with grilled chicken was excellent — generous portions of chicken and vegetables, cooked really well, and the curry sauce was smooth and not overly thick. The vegetarian tiger curry was fine — nothing standout, but the veggies were nicely cooked and fresh. Could’ve used a bit more flavour/salt, but that’s personal preference.

Overall, I’d give it a solid 4/5. It’s cheap, convenient takeaway food done properly — not A-grade restaurant dining, but very decent for the Docklands...

I've been to ChilliPadi twice for dinner, and I've been impressed by the food on both occasions. They serve predominantly Malaysian food, with a peppering of Indonesian and Thai food as well. The service was quick, personable, and friendly. Having spent some time in Malaysia, discovering authentic flavours of Malaysian cuisine here was a delight. I had the curry laksa was served with the classic combination of protein of choice, fried tofu puffs, fresh bean sprouts and chilli, on a bed of rice noodles and egg noodles, bathed in the well-balanced curry that took me back to the memory lane of Malaysia. What a pleasant surprise! I will certainly be frequenting this gem of...
