Malayan

Chester-Le-Street's curry lovers have found something special in Malayan — a place that practically glows with a flawless 4.9/5 rating from 66 reviews.

Expect the classics done right here: think rendang with its slow-cooked, coconut-laced tenderness, or a fiery sambal that cuts through the creaminess of a kari ayam. The cooking style leans bold and aromatic, leaning on lemongrass, ginger, and turmeric rather than heavy ghee. If you're after a curry that stands apart from the usual British-Indian fare, Malayan delivers. Order direct through for delivery across Chester-Le-Street and beyond.
