A chef has been charged by police after he allegedly stabbed a customer with a metal skewer when he complained about the service at a restaurant in Sydney's west.

The 43-year-old chef will face court next month charged with reckless wounding following the confrontation at a restaurant in Lakemba on March 31.

Paramedics were called to Red Chilli, a Pakistani and Indian restaurant, on Haldon Street about 11.35pm to reports that a skewer had been plunged straight through a man's hand.

Police said five men were at a restaurant on Haldon Street when they made a complaint about how long it had taken to deliver their meals.
