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 office crowd.
