Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company.

Many find the chilli pastes to be incredibly versatile, enhancing a wide variety of dishes from everyday meals to special recipes, and becoming a staple in their kitchens. The ordering process is frequently described as seamless and efficient, with many consumers appreciating the quick and well-communicated delivery service.

Chilli Trail chilli paste is absolutely brilliant — rich, bold, and beautifully balanced. It has a deep, authentic chilli flavour with just the right level of heat, rather than being overpowering, and... See more

This Sri Lankan chilli paste is next-level. The flavour is rich, smoky, and beautifully balanced with just the right amount of heat. I’ve been adding it to rice, noodles, stir-fries, even on top of... See more

Amazing for jazzing up all sorts of food

I absolutely love my spicy food and these chili pastes really deliver! I've been mixing into loads of different things; a personal favourite has been jazzing up plain old chicken soup. It's become a stock-cupboard essential of mine already

My third order - Really good

My third order and this time bought as a gift for some Christmas guests. Left it FAR to late but still had my delivery for the 24th which was brilliant! Thanks all and loving the pastes to bolster up my pizza toppings as much as for making proper Sri Lankan curry!

Using it on everything

Using it on everything - it's so versatile. There's not only a great level of spice, but there's a great depth of taste and flavour too. Also can't believe how quickly it arrived.

Authentic Sri-Lankan zing - add it to everything!

We loved the curries we ate in SriLanka and tried both the regular and vegan ChilliTrail pastes in the hope of reliving our travels. We are not disappointed - both pastes are super tasty, we use it with pretty much everthing on the side of the plate, but also add to chilli con carne and our home made curries for that extra zing. Also made pinwheels with flaky pastry - superb, try it for nibbles with drinks! Experience with a small business is so satisfying - really great personalised and efficient approach to orders and delivery. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Kitchen staple

Amazing flavour! I treated myself to both the original and the vegan products and they both slap! The paste has become almost a daily routine at this point, would massively recommend to anyone looking for something with a unique flavour profile. Has a bit of a kick but is not overwhelming like a lot of other products are.

A kitchen staple

Great flavour and with nice kick to it. I’ve been putting this on most dishes to spice them up a bit and have been loving it. A little goes a long way and the packaging looks very aesthetic on my kitchen shelf!

Loved this chilli paste

Loved this chilli paste. Works brilliantly in pad Thai, but surprisingly great with cheese and biscuits too. The vegan version is my favourite — full of flavour and nicely balanced.

‘The Chilli Trail’ Absolutely brilliant!

A brilliant brand and product, handmade in Brighton. The two co-founders are genuinely lovely people who are clearly putting their heart and soul into The Chilli Trail, and it truly shows in the quality of what they produce.

Their Sri Lankan chilli paste has become a staple in my household, with both myself and my family happily dolloping it on just about everything!

Sri Lankan chilli paste

Ordered the Sri Lankan chilli paste. Came within a few days which was great. It was well packed in a sturdy box with the jar protected by more packaging.
Used it first in an enchilada sauce. Added a nice kick of heat and flavour without blowing your head off. Looking forward to using it again and would def recommend it.

I really enjoyed this product. The taste is really excellent. I had the non vegetarian and the fish flavour is delicious.
