Maki Fish & Grill in Maldon

We are regulars here and the food is usually decent, can be a bit hit and miss. But we ordered tonight and purchased a bottle of vinegar for £4, thinking it was the usual “traditional fish and chip shop” vinegar but the bottle arrived opened and the label was all raggedy and just gross. We called the shop and they said that they make their own vinegar and that they just use the bottle, I said I didn’t want to pay £4 for a homemade vinegar, he said ok you can have your money back and I went to speak and he had hung up on me. No refund given, so I have a bottle of gross vinegar that I paid £4 for. Extremely rude to hang up on a regular, especially as I was very polite about it. Won’t ever order from here again.

The best fish & chips in Maldon! Clean, fresh, tasty and great service. Highly recommend

If you order delivery here expect the driver to go to multiple houses before yours, can watch him on the tracker driver further and further away, food arrives lukewarm

Unfortunately, the doner kebab I ordered was cold. The meat was wrapped in a tortilla wrap, not pitta, so the bread was very wet and there was very wet salad inside and too much tomato.

I ordered fish and chips. The order came within the time stated and it was packaged very well. The chips were delicious. Really crispy. The fish was of good size and the batter was really nice. The curry sauce was delicious and I was given a really good sized portion. The only negative was that the fish was very dry.

Called them this evening to ask when their last delivery orders would be. The person who answered the phone said 11pm. Took them at face value so waited until later to order… only for them to be closed at 10. Even the website says 11. Disappointing as their food and fish is generally excellent. Lost a repeat customer here I’m afraid.

Smash burger and chicken shish kebab, outstanding, not only was it one of best burgers I've ever had delivered it was one of the best burgers Ive ever had full stop! Zero grease, just a great juicy burger! Kebab bread is a artizan middle Eastern style bread which was absolutely delicious. Excellent food, quick delivery, user friendly app which was £8 cheaper than just eat, highly recommend 👌

kept pushing delivery time further back.

The food was cold when it got here

Food is high standard, and great customer service I ask for extra red cabbage and they always send extra free of charge 10/10

Lovely food, the burger I had was filled with lots of lovely salad, it was yummy..The chips are tasty and not greasy at all.. All hot and fresh.. Will order again, definitely

The kebab was thrown away - no taste will not order again

Great food, chips were very tasty. Delivery was prompt. Will order again.

Everything was freezing cold and just thrown together. Wasn't much care to it at all. When I opened the bag it was just all thrown everywhere. I am extremely unhappy with it all, hardly anything was eaten. Will not be ordering from here again. Got to me 10 minutes after I ordered so clearly wasn't fresh.

The food was so nice and delicious and it’s was so nice !!!! Visit it

The food was awful. One burger bun was dehydrated and hard and also didn’t include all the ingredients we request for example cheese. Then the other was missing ingredients. The chips were cold. really disappointed

Loved everything about this place

Our food was completely wrong. cold and delivered 2 hours late!

So very delicious food on this place

Very disappointed tonight!! Must of been the last bits of chicken doner, so dry and hard Half my onion rings were over done, dont know how that could happen? Only think they were left overs and fried again with fresh ones, very greasy! Chicken shish was ok but didnt have much flavour tonight. Not so sure I will be ordering again 😏

Get the Korean wings. Two portions. Do it.

Absolutely dewicious. They separate the meat, bread, salad and sauce which I highly appreciate as it means you construct your kebab at home, avoiding a sloppy mess. The chips were 10/10, stilll cwrispy after a 10 minute walk home. Spectacular give me 14 of them right now!

Wow how times change , wrong address yet, they have delivered to me before , cold food , 3 people to sort it out , ruined my birthday take out, I won't be back!!! you went from the best too the worst over night. Worst kebab ever it was cold and horrid awful not what I've come to expect from you .

Bring back the old Maki. They started great when they first opened, but now… Shocking to be honest. Dry Kofte, Fatty Lamb Shish, and much reduced portion size. It seems they’ve taken cost cutting to a whole new level, and because of this the food quality has suffered. We won’t be back, and I wouldn’t recommend you go there either. Literally anywhere else is better than here. Your call, but don’t say we didn’t warn you… May seem dramatic, but £40 for what we received was pretty shocking

Possibly the nicest fish and chips that I can remember. I ordered 2 large cod and 1 large chips. The large cod was indeed large, the batter excellent and not at all greasy. I liked that the skin was removed from the fish before frying and the fish itself was fresh. The chips non greasy and tasty. Cost wise pretty expensive possibly £2-£4 over what I would expect to pay. Service was polite and waiting time reasonable for freshly cooked food. The premises are spotless and the menu selection varied including burgers,kebab's etc.

Cod was over cooked and brown and dry, barely edible and the dog got most. Order delivered in two minutes so obviously has been kept hot and not fresh cooked. Cost's so much, it's a treat these days. Waste of money. Very disappointing

my daughter ordered us a takeaway from here tonight. took over an hour and food was just about warm. I've ordered from here before and it was great. Will not order again and definitely won't use Just Eat again.

A really good place to go for takeaway fish and chips, burgers and kebabs. I had a chicken shish kebab and it was one of the best I've had - really fresh salad, a good amount of chicken which was really tasty, and unusually (at least for me) the kebab came with a focaccia bread roll and plenty of rice. My daughter had the children's sausage meal and thoroughly enjoyed it (it was a very healthy size so I helped her with the chips) and my other half had a hamburger which was the most basic burger option on the menu, but still plenty big enough and really tasty. Maki Fish and Grill was a very lucky find when we needed some supper while out for the day and next time we're in the area I will very much look forward to ordering another meal.

Honestly a great place. The staff treat you how you treat them and the food is just amazing. We have had delivery's and we have collected without any issues. We have had everything from fish and chips to kebabs from here and we have always been so happy with the staff and the food has never let us down even with them making us have high expectations of their food.

Asked if they did gluten free. Was quite rude and just looked at me like I was an alien. Friendly frier is better

second and last time we will be using them, complete rip off, the smallest large cod I've ever seen!!!!

Fantastic fresh food, always on time and absolutely delicious. 5* fast food

turned up early and hot. outstanding doner kebabs. 👍

They had some trouble and it was late. But they came through in the end.

Ordered medium fish and cheeseburger with chips. Food amazing. Very friendly too.

Ordered off Uber eats and within half hr got my chicken fillet burger. Was tender, juicy and hot! The packaging is all cardboard which I rate as hate throwing away loads of plastic. Driver was really friendly! Defo order again!

Beautiful piece of Cod n Chips. The batter was thin and crispy with a good bit of crunch. Not soggy at all and the fish was moist and tasty.

Very underrated place. Burger was great, wings great and chips great.

Absolutely superb!! I'm always scared about trying somewhere new, their burgers are advertised as being like FIVE GUYS. I was sceptical, but no need, they are better than FIVE GUYS!!!!

This was. Bad takeaway chips was not fresh the meat was clearly from the night before I am very disappointed

Had the wings and honestly amazing quality and taste! Such good value for money we will certainly be ordering again!

Food was good but chips were mostly cold. Curry sauce was burnt and oily. Usually Makis is better than that

Do not order from here. Whole order was soo late all boxes upside down in bag that had sat somwhere so long the paper was soaking wet! All food was wrong, stone cold and discussing! Used to be the best now the worst. Will never order again

The BEST burger I have ever had! Perfectly made! Well presented! Hot! Also had fish and chips before and that also blew me away! Packaging keeps food hot and easy to eat from! 10/10!!!!

Rung up to order some chips for my daughter, so we didn't have to wait around when we got there! but was told they do take orders over the phone you can order when you come in! Nice one! Cause she didn't want to wait we just left it and walked home!

All around Amazing place !!!! it was a Saturday evening and no one wanted to cook Or go pick up takeout, so we decided to try Maki for our first time and for once all 5 of us were happy with our order ! My nephew and I had the smash burger which was one of the best cheeseburgers I have ever had and I am from the USA saying that! The others had fish & chips and reported that it was the best they have had in the Maldon area in the 20 plus years of living here ! I also tried the buffalo wings and those too were delicious & loaded with meat on them ! Extra bonus was that The delivery came very fast as well and on top of it our driver was a very nice guy.( by the way don’t forget to tip your drivers ) This place seems to be on their game with their prompt service , high quality food and we all were very pleased so it’s our new favorite take out / delivery spot in town ! Our only complaint was that when we called to order , we had to go sign up for an online account because to go orders are online only , which was kind of a pain, but it was so worth it in the long run!!

Tried to order online as this is the only option, the website for the third time kept throwing me out, after 30 minutes finally placed an order, when we collected I tried to advise the team that the website was not working properly, they openly laughed at me!! On getting the food home it was soggy and un edible. We have been loyal customers since they opened despite them being over priced. But tonight was the final straw

Lovely food we all enjoyed it as a family. Thank you.

Everything is very nice especially fishhhh😍

Maki Fish and Chip Shop in Maldon is a culinary gem that will leave you craving more after every bite. Recently, I had the pleasure of indulging in their delectable donor meat and chips, and I can honestly say that it was an absolute revelation. The donor meat was cooked to perfection, with a tender, juicy texture that melted in my mouth. Each bite was infused with an explosion of flavours, a testament to the chef's masterful skill. The chips, often overlooked in the realm of fried food, were an absolute delight in their own right. Golden brown and crispy on the outside, they were soft and fluffy on the inside, each chip a symphony of textures. What really set Maki's chips apart was their unique flavour profile. They had a hint of sweetness, a subtle saltiness, and a lingering taste of freshness that I haven't encountered in any other chip shop. It was as if they had unlocked the secret to chip perfection, elevating this humble dish to an art form. If you live in the vicinity of Maki Fish and Chip Shop, do yourself a favour and indulge in their culinary creations. The donor meat is a must-try, and the chips are a revelation. It's a dining experience that will leave you feeling satisfied and utterly delighted. I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough.

My partner and I used uber eats to oder the food my halloumi wrap was amazing, cooked perfectly. My partner had the smash burger, only issue was you had to add note to item to remove salad and not the option to remove, like how McDonald's have

Probably the best chicken and chips I've had, the only the problem was we ordered a 10pc and only got an 8 piece!! To late following day to complain so on next order we shall check!

Went here yesterday and arrived just before opening time, placed my order and was told it would be freshly cooked so i went off for 20 minutes. Upon my return there was a lovely posh bag all packed up with my order ready to rumble and piping hot 🔥 took it over to the park with my mum and my toddler. Massive piles of lovely crispy fresh tasting chips, 2 MASSIVE cods, beautiful firm meaty flakes that melted in the mouth. (Dont know what you do to the batter guys but its so tasty and crispy and delicious) just wish i couldve finished it all but i couldnt. Toddler loved it too so win win. Definitely the best fish and chips ive tasted in years, made my day out in maldon 👍

So good! Really happy that there is finally a proper kebab in Maldon! Love the lamachen!!! Want to try the doner sandwich

Waited 45mins for 2 portions of chips, when got order tasted as had been re cooked unable to eat

I would feel offended if I was homeless and eating this food. I feel utterly appalled and used. I will not be coming here again, the food once was of a decent standard but has considerably dropped. The food tasted like hospital food, bland, dry and cheap. I tried to call the restaurant with no answer, poor. I called again and was met by what sounded like jabba the hutt on the other end of the phone, zero professionalism and zero manners. Do better. Please avoid this place at all costs. Please also work on your customer service skills.

Order number - 40556693 Phoned to give feedback that the food was not up to it’s normal standards and we were disappointed as it was cold, soggy and had a strange chemical taste. To which we received a delightful phone call from the owner, who laughed down the phone and told us we would get a refund if the driver picked up the food for them to examine, and if she deemed there to be an issue, she would refund us. A little strange if you ask me, as the owner isn’t going to admit to their food tasting horrible. She was argumentative, hostile, aggressive and totally unpleasant. Won’t be going back. Keep our £30, you obviously need it more.

Very nice food and sunny Sunday atmosphere here. Really competently run as well with service and a smile despite being quite busy.

After ordering off Uber eat we ordered two biscoff cakes and a fudge cake. They arrived completely frozen very disappointed

Probably the best take away in the area, burgers and wraps are unreal!! Only slight criticism I have is I would rather the choice of skinny or smaller chips as chip shop ones don’t really do it for me with a kebab or burger. But highly recommend and will definitely be using again.

Lively and popular on a sunny Sunday evening. People were happily waiting outside for food, and the queue was short. Our order was taken quickly and the food was prepared in a short amount of time. My chicken Maki Shish was fantastic, really tasty and filling. There was no need for a portion of chips with it. The chips were very good quality and well cooked all the same. It's in a Perfect location if you are enjoying some time in Promonade Park, just across the road from the top corner carpark and Maldon Museum.

Shame this place’s quality has gone down immensely since it first opened. Last few orders we have had from there the chips have been hard and had a funny taste the pie had been microwaved so was chewy. Such a shame because when this first opened it was the best in Maldon imo but it’s standards have slipped badly.

Tasty food, well cooked & clean kitchen. Ticks all the boxes!

really nice food and will go back

The best takeaway shop I have ever eaten from!!!!! The food is spectacular and the customer service is excellent. The smash burger is out of this world, the flavours and seasoning is perfect the wings are massive and packed with flavour. If i could eat everything from their menu I would. Highly recommend you wont be disappointed!

Great service and delicious fish and chips. Delivery was on time and food was well prepared and cooked.

Awful! On a Tuesday night, food took an hour and a half to come and then the driver dropped some all over the driveway and claimed we had another 10 minute delay! I can acknowledge mistakes happen to the best of us but there was no apology, no offer to clear it up. Told the driver to not bother and take it back. Called up the restaurant to be met with disgusting customer service who didn't want to acknowledge the problem. Had ordered £100 worth of food and honestly the way they spoke on the phone, doesn't sound like they need the money or customers. I would not waste your time.

Have always ordered from Maki because of the quality of the food, but no longer. Service has always been slow and rude but this particular incident has broken the camels back. The staff have always been particularly rude but this time was terrible. The food was ordered but we were waiting 1hr 30m in which point we had been growing very hungry. Particularly disappointed as it's a Tuesday night and it's supposed to be my brother's birthday takeaway. The delivery driver rocks up and drops the food over the driveway and insists that everything was fine but there would be a further delay- needless to say, he did not even attempt to clear it up. I sent the driver away with the food (that wasn't splattered over the driveway) as we no longer wanted it after such a wait. I phoned the restaurant and after explaining the situation, the member of staff was very rude and nonchalant regarding the situation. Before I hung the phone up I told them I wouldn't be ordering from here again.

Fish was lovely batter a bit thick heavy

First time trying this evening🙌 had to come post as wow. Food hot fresh and tastiest burgers we have had in a long time. The buttermilk burger was my favourite so full of flavor and crunchy yet juicy top marks from us thank you

Best chips I've ever had from a fish & ship shop! Excellent warm welcome and service with a big smile. What a Gem of a place. (Owner let me indulge my passion for photography and take a quick snap inside, will send you the photo once it's been developed).

Amazing , food was exceptional. Definitely be ordering from here again fast delivery as well.

Stopped in to get an impromptu dinner on the way home. Absolutely fantastic, chip shop chips and gourmet burgers that I was still thinking about the next day!

The best takeaway delivery fish and chips have had for years. Fresh cod with crispy batter and chunky chips not greasy delivered within 15mins of ordering and piping hot. Thoroughly enjoyable, would definitely recommend

Had my first order last night great service delivery very quick love chips and sausages I order again

Got 3 orders from this Shop all 3 with missing items .Also a order today come 45 min later .With no sos and the pitta bred was non comestible .not happy at all

Didn't get what I ordered. Service was quite slow, but the cod was cooked fresh. Burger was tasty but expensive - claimed to be Wagu beef which I highly doubt. Freezing cold in the shop. I'll be going back to my usual UK Fish Bar.

Not that busy yet they managed to completely mess up the order. Gave us one burger instead of the two we ordered, the burger we did receive had two patty's in it which wasn't asked for and we were charged some random price that doesn't add up to what we asked for or what we got. When phoned to resolve the problem the person was argumentative and just kept on insisting that we got what we ordered.

First time time I ordered today, we had cod and chips and Doner kebab. I can honestly say it was the best fish and chips I tasted in Maldon. Cod was fresh not frozen, chips spot on and Doner kebab came with traditional Turkish pitta, amazing and thank you.

Gorgeous food! Will be ordering again *****

We just had the buffalo burger and a classic doner. Absolutely fantastic food, tasted very fresh and the sauces are delicious. Another great little food outlet for lucky Maldon. We'll be back for sure!

Superb. Hot fresh fish and chips cooked while you wait, or you can phone ahead and just collect. Batter was crispy and not greasy. Delicious. I will be back.

Just incredible food, only had to wait around 10-15 minutes and was piping hot still by the time we got home. Slightly pricier than other takeaways in the area however this is reflected in the quality and taste of the food and they have a wider variety on the menu. Definitely recommend trying this place out as it’s new in Maldon town ☺️

Absolutely amazing place we really enjoyed everything starting with a friendly staff, superb service and delicious food. It's our first time and won't be the last.

Food was nice. But left out chilli sauce and salad. Bev h. Very annoying

Amazing food and service. Went there with a friend to try out since it just opened. I got the fish and chips whereas he got the Lamb Doner. Will definitely be going back every chance I get.

Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long while. Not greasy but very crispy, as it should be. Their chicken burgers and lamb doners are 10/10. Been there countless times since it has opened. Well done lads.

Tried last night for first time since it opened. The chips were perfect. Proper chip-shop chips and the best I’ve had for a while! Lots of options on menu, clean inside, very tasty.

Just had my first order from here and it was delicious all nice a fresh and full of flavour

Food is so delicious and workers are very friendly.Very nice and clean.Highly recommend!
