Chilli Padi

Set by the water at Stratford Cross, just opposite London Stadium in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Chilli Padi brings the warmth of Malaysian hospitality to East London. This welcoming, community-focused spot pairs a riverside outlook with a kitchen rooted in heritage, balancing time-honoured recipes with a modern twist.

The menu roams through Malaysia’s beloved flavours and comforting staples: flaky roti canai and crisp bites like crispy cauliflower, followed by bowls of laksa that lean into spice and fragrance. Slow-cooked depth arrives with beef rendang, while fragrant noodle dishes and fresh seafood round out a line-up made for relaxed grazing and easy conversation.

At the bar, specialty cocktails draw on local fruits, herbs and spices, joined by a classic house specialty cocktail reimagined with Malaysian flavours. It is refreshment with character, equally at home over a leisurely lunch or an evening catch-up with friends or colleagues.

Whether dropping in after a wander through the park or planning a birthday or work celebration, Chilli Padi keeps the focus on quality, warmth and that signature Malaysian welcome. Book a table, bring an appetite, and let the good times chilli on.
