Maliks in Windsor and Maidenhead

Excellent service coupled with delicious dishes made our lunchtime visit to Maliks a real hit. Thank you to the whole team for giving us a memorable experience.

We are regulars at Malik’s and it’s always a class experience from start to finish. You get a classic Indian restaurant experience but what elevates it is the outstanding hospitality, consistency, attention to detail and quality of the dishes, surroundings and experience itself. We often order it to takeout, it’s always fantastic dishes and a great service- hot, well packed, ready on time and with friendly professional service. Our child is very fussy with food and Malik’s butter chicken and naan never fails, so we make sure to get it a couple of times a month. It’s a godsend, well worth the money.

Delicious food, excellent service and welcoming ambience. A little gem of a restaurant in the heart of Cookham village. Always delivers and never disappoints.

Birthday event for over 40 people Excellent service with the food arriving all together was some feat by the kitchen. Food was excellent and very tasty! No hesitation in recommending Malik's for your curry evening

My wife booked a banquet for my birthday and invited 40 of my friends. The service was second to none and Malik and his team could not have done any more to make the evening one to remember. The food was cooked to perfection and everyone was so delighted with the quality and flavours, what a fabulous chef. We were able to choose which banquet we wanted and discussed what we required for the evening, Malik provided us with a private room and this again was part of Malik's attention to detail. He went out of his way to ensure the evening went smoothly. We have been many times before as a couple and with friends and we have always had a wonderful evening. Many of my friends have returned and after this weekend many more will be. I have had texts and calls saying how good the food was and what a brilliant evening. Thank you Malik and team for all you did. See you again soon.

Malik’s Cookham restaurant played host to my son’s 50th Birthday Party yesterday evening 4th November 2023. The food, service and general attention to detail was 1st class and made the evening a great success. I would unreservedly recommend it. Thank you to Malik and his great team of chefs and waiting staff.

Booked quite last minute but they were happy to fit us in. Food was excellent, a good range of curries and some a little different from your run of the mill Indian rrstaurant. Two of our party have experience of Indian cooking and the y both said the best Ibdian food they have tasted in a long while. Plan to go back next time we are in the area

a very good Indian restaurant that served a great range of traditional and different plates. Thoroughly recommend the King Prawn tandoori ! Great atmosphere, great service and overall a lovely dining experience

Visited on August bank holiday Sunday without a reservation. They found us a comfortable table and provided excellent t attentive service. The food was some of the best I’ve had from an Indian restaurant (I’ve been to a few) especially the lamb and king prawn dishes. Definitely recommended!

I was told about Malik's in Cookham a while ago but had never tried their food. I got a take away (korai chicken and basmati rice) mid week. It was delicious. The rice was fluffy and the sauce very fragrant. My best indian take away ever.

Went for diner with the family (5 people) on a Saturday evening. Great service, very attentive staff. The food was very tasty, we all tried different dishes and were all very happy with our choices. The mixed starters were excellent. Very small carpark, managed to find a space as we got there quite early (about 7pm).

Visited this Restaurant due to the great reviews and reccomendations and couldn't be more impressed. It was fast service with friendly staff and the food continued to impress. The staff were attentive and the food was cooked to a high standard. Whilst dining my colleague spilt a drink on the table which was cleaned and replaced by the staff free of charge which was a kind and nice touch and was appreciated. Would definately recommend this restaurant to friends. The prices were more than we are used to but the prices reflected the quality of the food so it was worth it for lovely food and experience. Thank you again. 👍

Our first visit here and the restaurant is certainly nicely decked out and feels classy. We ordered the mixed main starter (x2), 2 garlic naans, a keema naan, chicken massallam and chicken korai. 2 glasses of wine and 3 drinks. The starters were okay, king prawn was chewy, chicken nazakat was only goujon sized, the potato dish was the best part. Naans were oily (drizzled with ghee) and the main dishes again were average. For those saying this is the best Indian food, you may want to take a trip 25 miles east to Southall! Our bill came to over £100. About 30% more than we anticipated. It was not a problem, but we felt that the quality and price were mutually exclusive.

I feel a restaurant can be judged by their attitude to solo diners. The food here is good if expensive. The attitude is dreadful. The owner rudely removed my tablecloth before I’d left the table. He then added a £4 service charge to the bill...

Stayed over in Cookham and because of a recommendation booked Maliks restaurant. The staff were friendly and keen to offer suggestions on dishes when asked. They recommended a starter called Nazakat. Amazing taste and one of the best starters I’ve had. Went onto share chicken...

The food was amazing and the service was great . We weren’t rushed and we like a gap between courses so we don’t feel stuffed . The king prawns in Tamarind sauce for starters were so lovely ….it’s not the cheapest , but you are...

We booked a table for 7pm which they got wrong and was put at 7:30pm. Not a big problem. The service was terrible all night. We had to get up when we wanted a drink and go find a waiter. Starter at took 45 minutes...

Last night my wife and I visited Maliks in Cookham for the first time, though we have been to their restaurant in Gerrards Cross several times. Firstly, have a very large private secure car park in Cookham High St is a tremendous bonus and advantage...

Thanks to Malik and his team for another wonderful meal and service. One of the best curries. We always take our friends there when they suggest a curry. Great for takeaways too.

Really expensive place with a standard not present 8£ tiny portion of size (which was really tasty) All the food wasn’t season One of the tow chicken dish was really over cook and chicken dry The sauce was great and tasty appart the lack of...

As cost of living bites, it is more important than ever to look for value for money. Myself and my friends thoroughly enjoyed our evening here and would agree with the reviewer who said it was more than just 'going for a curry'. We had...

We have lovey meal for two last Saturday at this hidden gem , both the starters and main course were cooked to perfection and presented perfectly , service was also very good . They did not rush us through the meal

Came to Cookham for our anniversary and headed to Maliks for our meal.. The service was fantastic especially being on a busy Friday night.. the food for us both was delicious and amazing.. thank you for making our evening special..

Friends invited us to join them here. First time we’ve gone, even though we have heard so many good reports about the food here. It’s on the high street but does have parking. Gorgeous decor inside, like a very posh gentleman’s club. Polite, friendly staff...

Read a number of good reviews for this restaurant so decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed as the food was excellent, very tasty and cooked to a high standard. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Malik's is always a joy to visit. We normally order a platter of starters and no main dishes. This way we can sample a large chink of the menu. Always beautifully presented. You can find the standard Indian dishes but expect to pay a bit...

The food was amazing, the decore and atmosphere was brilliant. You must try their panner dishes. Definately worth a visit.

Definitely not an average or run of the mill Indian restaurant so totally disagree with reviews saying this. The restaurant itself is amazing and the service attentive. Food is first class. Yes it’s on the high price but the service and ambience plus quality of...

Malik's catered for a party of 50+ for my mum's birthday celebration. The food was lovely and the service was excellent. Malik and his team were very courteous, polite and helpful throughout making sure my mother and our guests all enjoyed themselves.

I ordered a takeaway from Malik’s Express in Cookham and need to alert customers to at least one unhygienic practice that quite frankly disgusted me. Although the lady taking the orders was lovely and the food did taste good the manager and chef need some...

A lovely looking restaurant in a beautiful village with its own secure car park. I thought I was in for a real treat given the numerous celebrity high praise reviews including from one of the country’s most decorated chefs. Service was attentive and prompt from...

Evening meal with some friends who live locally. Bulk standard "Indian", with a few nice extra items on offer (duck in several dishes plus unusual "curries" for example). Friendly helpful staff, sensible prices. (They have their own car park - which is useful given the...

Really enjoyed the tandoori mixed grill and NaaN. Staff friendly while we waited. It's a takeaway so we drove to the lookout point on winter hill and enjoyed the sunset over Marlow while we ate.

My better half wanted to go to the award winning amazing Malik's. So we went to Malik's but unfortunately I am going to have to side with some of the recent reviews and say it is overpriced with slightly rubbish service. It did not start...

Recently ordered a meal for delivery, it arrived an hour later and was cold! The tikka masala was more like a korma. Have them a second chance and decided to collect the order and when I got it home I found a lamb biriani instead...

The initial arrival was a little ropey as we hadn’t booked and they were understaffed, however the food was amazing. The best Indian food we have had in a long time!!

We called ahead and asked if they had vegan options and were told there were plenty. When we dined at the restaurant we were informed that the vegan options were ‘very limited’. We could only eat a rice dish and one curry. Very disappointing. We...

We have been local, regular customers for many years and only occasionally had any issues with delivery. This evening our food arrived 35 minutes late, a main course was missing and it was not hot enough. Hungry and fed up, we called the restaurant to...

We visited on NYE 2021 to celebrate with friends. Have always wanted to try Malik's and as it was a special occasion, we all wanted to treat ourselves. Coming from Bracknell (about 30 mins away) we thought it would be worth the trip. Unfortunately so...

We had a party of 20 in the private dining area and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious as always and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Mr Malik himself gave us all a complimentary drink which was very nice of him....

Attended with friends for a birthday night away, absolutely awful and ruined our short break. Food is okay, but overhauled by the absolutely POOR service. Staff are rude, disrespectful. Waited over an hour for mains to come. Service is poor. Water not offered in that...

Went to Malik's Cookham on Friday 15th October for a Family dinner. Food was magnificent. Everyone’s food was just perfect, delicately spiced curry, delicious sides (the Bombay. potatoes were perfect) and naan bread like fluffy clouds!!! Lovely ambience in the restaurant. Definitely the best curry...

We went back to a place I have previously enjoyed to find the waiting staff worse than inattentive. No offer of menu after the main course, no offer of further drinks, and only surly disregard when one of our party realised she’d made a mistake...

I have heard many say that the love of spice is a mild addiction and am beginning to agree. "Doctor, Doctor - I think I am addicted to Chicken Nazakat..." OK, the dish is not notably spicy but ohhh the taste. There are many things...

Another exceptional takeaway from your Cookham establishment, as the gentleman informed me when I had to go back to the restaurant to pick up the rice dish that was left out of the order. Mistakes happen. Absolutely accepted.  With hindsight it was no doubt my...

Visited Malik’s with my family for the first time. It was midweek so not particularly busy. Service was consistently poor throughout. The food was good but we would not go back.

They would not honour vouchers that we were unable to obviously use last year in lockdown. Extremely rude and arrogant staff member on the phone.

We’ve been dining at Malik’s for years and the food and ambiance are consistently excellent. You will be served top Indian cuisine with deliciously fresh flavours. Some of our favourite dishes include the Murgh liver, King prawn puree, sikandari lamb, sesame courgette…. I could go...

Chicken practically cremated it was so over cooked. Management are rude and snobbish for no reason. Food is overpriced and average at very best. When you eat at a quality Indian restaurant, you will realise how awful Maliks actually is. Save your money and buy...

I don’t know what’s happened since they opened the express shop - maybe new chefs, but it’s gone downhill. Gristly lamb, undercooked doughy naan, raw onion bhaji in the middle. Used to be my favourite cookham restaurant. Completely different to the dine in meals I’ve...

Two hours for a delivery to Bourne End - ordered extra popadoms to meet the delivery criteria and you didn't send them ! Order only dispatched after several calls and declining being put on hold. Remainder of food order was no more than average. Thanks...

Bad experience at Malik’s, waited outside for over 20 mins to receive an order with items missing. While we were there they were still misquoting the time to people on the phone. Would not go back. Food was sub standard too. They don’t know how...

We first went to Malik's on the 11th October and I think we simply caught them on a bad day. The restaurant was super busy as it was a Saturday night and there was a fault in the kitchen which caused it to close early...

Without doubt the best Indian around with excellent service from a fabulous team. Already looking forward to next week.

Malik's is exception. Great Flavors and expertly cooked and presented. Always consistent and in another league of gastronome pleasure.

If you want an authentic taste of Bangladesh go to this restaurant Tantalising fresh and tasty Indian food with a twist served by very helpful attentive staff. The owner is on hand too adding a personal touch to your experience. These best Indian meal I...

Only order if you’re prepared to waste you’re entire Saturday night being surrounded by annoyed people asking where on earth their food is. Absolute shambles.

I placed an order on a Saturday night, but when it eventually arrived 2 hours later (despite being told it wouldn’t be longer than 90 mins), 3 of the the dishes were missing. I phoned the manager that evening who said that the kitchen was...

Have you ever been to a restaurant and after nearly 2 hours wait, be then told you can't have any food? We booked a 7.30 table at Malik's, and all we wanted to do is spend some nice time with friends we have not seen...

Ordered takeaway for delivery at 19.20. Was told 1 hour. Called at 21.05 to be told it would be 5 mins and that they’d been “busy”. Didn’t arrive until 21.40. If they’d have said it would take over 2 hours I’d have told them not...

I used to love it here but after tonight I will never come again! Very very sad! Rude staff! All we queried was the appetiser menu that was very misleading stating that £10 was the price but instead was £20?? Queried it and was met...

Exceptional! The wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here in September and what a treat it was! Lamb melted in the mouth and was bursting with flavour. Service was outstanding and we were even treated to a drink in the bar area after our...

We were badly let down by the restaurant across the road from Mailks. So we had walked in on spec to see if they had a table. Could not have been better. Food was delicious, the service was professional and friendly. Thank you Maliks, you...

Took my partner for a birthday meal as he likes Malik’s. Originally booked for 5 people but his family pulled out due to COVID concerns so I phoned Malik’s to change the reservation from 5 to 2 people. No one answered so I left a...

We booked the private room for a special event and had such a wonderful time! The food and service was absolutely first class, we ordered from the banquet menu and everyone was more than satisfied. Highly recommend!

Malik’s charges top dollar but simply does not deliver. The food is ok. Not poor but certainly not good. This evening we paid £38 for three simple chicken mains, two rice and a single naan, For a takeaway this seems overpriced for the quality of...

Saturday night at Maliks Food was delicious and innovative. Service was not invasive yet great. Hard working people dealing with lots of pretentious customers in gracious polite and humble way. Wish I could come more often...

Went for Saturday night dinner as a couple... felt covid friendly... poppadoms arrived promptly... fresh .. condiments were good ... drinks ... so expensive... nearly £5 for a small bottle of lager ... but hey it’s Cookham ! ... starter .. King prawn purée for...

We were on holiday and found Malik’s on Google. We also checked trip advisor for reviews. I have to say this was the best Indian food we’d eaten for a very long time. The eat in to help out was a bonus but this would’ve...

Went to collect a takeaway curry and was shocked by the lack of hygiene precautions. Staff were closely gathering and chatting, no masks and complete disregard for safety. Awful.

Have been almost religious about Maliks restaurant in the High Street, it’s amazing. Last night I had my first delivery from the new Maliks Express Kitchen in Cookham. Order taken clearly, quickly and accurately. Food arrived quicker than estimated, was roasting hot and totally delicious....

met friends here for lunch and a catchup so the fact that everything took quite a while, despite being nearly empty , suited our purpose. I have a sneaky feeling that this was not deliberate but ... We ordered the vegetarian buffet for 2 and...

Beautiful meal at the restaurant with a friend visiting from America who always tries to get a visit to Maliks in on any trip! This time she was even enroute to India but wanted a Maliks meal before she travelled onwards! Stunning presentation, and such...

Booked for Sunday lunch 3 adults 2 small children On arrival unable to open door to get through with pushchair Aggressively greeted by a gentleman who said quite loudly it was policy and I would have been advised on booking that pushchairs not allowed On...

Probably the best Indian meal I’ve had in years. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. We were there early so it was quite empty and service was also good. I can imagine it gets quite busy later on. Some of the table are quite...

Have been using maliks as a restaurant and take away for 4 years, had a couple of bad experiences in the past that didn’t put me off but last weekend my friends and I had the most awful experience at the cookham express - multiple...

We get take away from Maliks very regularly and it is always first class. However, the reason for his review is we have been here on two separate occasions of late, both for birthday celebrations. Both times we have had our little 3 year old...

A group of us have been coming here between Christmas and New Year for quite a number of years now and we enjoyed it this year as much as any other. This is a cosy beamed restaurant which must have been a pub at some...

Tried Malik’s Express Kitchen in Cookham last night for the first time, friendly welcome as I entered. Placed my order at about 17.20 and asked if I could collect at 18:30, absolutely not a problem which was great so I could go for a drink...

Amazing food and top service, overall a great experience. On site, secure parking as well. Thoroughly recommend!

Naan was excellent, poppadoms good although sauces bang average. Rice was well-cooked, main dishes generally very nice (and well-spiced). Lamb was cooked far better than the chicken. Shame they didn't have draught beer (or even large Cobras). Dishes are expensive although portions large and, being...

Me and my husband absolutely love the food at Maliks! We are now regular customers that travel all the way from Reading to have a lovely evening out enjoying tasty, flavoursome curry! Well done Maliks!

First time eating in at maliks after numerous recommendations and had a wonderful evening. The restaurant was pretty packed but nevertheless staff were friendly and attentive. Food was delicious (especially the tandoori king prawns!!) and presented beautifully. The place lives up to its name!

I’m just back from a Works Christmas meal ...for years I’ve thought about visiting...what a let down! And do you know what? They knew it! I think that’s the worst of it! My colleague and I arrived and as it was our first visit we...

For a really good restaurant, their service is incredibly poor. We waited over an hour for our main course and had to ask where it was eventually. We were not waited in by a particular waiter so after having no service ended up having the...

Takeaway took 40min which was fine as always busy on Saturday evening. Arrived waited at an empty bar for about 10mins no one there to serve you. Then a lady came out got my takeaway & off we went. It was cold greasy & tasteless...

Visited Malik's and enjoyed a really good meal. Always welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere. Best curry restaurant in the area.

My wife went to collect a takeaway (we live very near) and on the way out the barrier to the car park came down, without warning, and struck my wife on the head. The barrier is between the door to the restaurant and the exit....

The menu is extensive and the quality is good. The mixed starter was very good but the main course of mixed tandoori grill was very dry. Other items were OK if a bit pricey. I would have given a 4 if it was not for...

Never Ever go to this restaurant, tonight after a collection i gave some feedback, only to be passed to Mr Malik himself who could not give a dam. Attitude on the phonexwas shocking and his way of dealing with my feedback was to say never...

Not the Maliks it used to be. Service now seems quite cold and having added a takeaway it now has lost some of its old charm. Staff not longer seem welcoming either. Some places you couldn’t care less when they go through a bad patch....

We have eaten in the Indian across the road several times and always had 5 star food and service. We thought we would try Maliks for a change and we heard good things from our neighbours in cookham. Food was very nice. Starters were good...

Visited with my wife for my birthday, after hearing so many glowing reports about this place. The food did not disappoint, but we were very unimpressed with the service. We had a table reserved for 7:30 and arrived promptly. After waiting for a couple of...

Not been here in 20yrs+ Enjoyed dinner last night with my Wife. Parking very convenient in their private car park attached to the restaurant. Good service, traditional menu and very tasty food. This is a very popular restaurant so recommend booking in advance. We will...

Great choice of Indian Food with some nice twists. Freshly prepared ingredients, well cooked, tasty and well presented - you can tell that the chef and his team really cares. well supported by efficient waiting staff. Special thanks to Manjet who made us feel very...

Consistently good. A bit pricey but a great menu of traditional meals that you would expect to see and also so much more with speciality recipes. Great dining experience and attractive building.

Three of us visited last Friday after moving house so were not dressed up. We got seated very quickly. The food we got was the best Indian food I have ever tasted. So much so we ordered takeaway from Maliks two days later. The dishes...

As a family we often frequent Malik’s for the excellent Sunday Buffet but when we asked our son who was “home alone” as his wife and children are away on holiday, where he would like to go for a birthday treat there was no hesitation;...

Upon ringing the front door bell, a frosty reception by the staff member who seemed puzzled to have received customers. After we were shown to our table (which was far too small for 6 people), we were pretty much ignored for the next 3 hours....

Our first time eating here for quite a while as we were very disappointed previously. Our experience this time was quite the opposite. We all had different dishes and all were great. Good flavours and good portions of meat / fish in the dishes. As...
