Food was extremely tasty. Good portion sizes and friendly staff. The restaurant was very busy and everyone seemed to be enjoying their food. Interior is nicely decorated and a great experience. Definitely going back as the food was 10/10 and cooked perfectly. Best red Thai curry I've had.

A lovely family restaurant that has been in Macclesfield for 20 years. Lots of loyal customers, whom are welcomed and acknowledged. Food suited for western appetites. Pad Thai isn't the kind where you break the egg to get to the noodles, nor thick. They are rice noodles. Avoid putting chilli on. Spicy. Opposite of most restaurants. Dishes had lots of meat/fish/prawns but not many vegetables. Glad tried. Found through word of mouth.

Last Minute treat for my son as we'd been out all day long! Maliwan sure did the job. Absolutely delicious Thai curry's (we had a red and green, beef and prawn and shared) Apparently amazing prawn toast which disappeared as quick as it arrived and Mark was a fabulous host. He served a multitude of arrivals and juggled takeaway orders giving everyone wonderful attention. This place is fab !

We were visiting Macclesfield after living there many years ago and were staying near this Thai restaurant. So glad we visited. The owner (assume it was the owner) was so friendly and funny. Very welcoming. The waitress was also lovely. We ordered starters spring rolls and tempura. They were substantial portions and very nice. We then had a stir fry with cashews, basil and something else, penang veg curry, egg fried rice and rice noodles. All washed down with beer and wine! A very good experience and wish it was near to where we live now!

I’m from south east Asia. And I think the food is not authentic Thai at all. First of all, there's no chopsticks. The pad thai noodles are overcooked and we cound't taste the smell of the wok(Wok hei) Also, I didn't taste the thai sweet basil and lemon in the green curry.

This Thai has plenty of character but feels like it could do with a bit of an uplift. However, the food was delicious and there is plenty of choice. I believe it also does takeaway!

Been coming here for over ten years and consider it my favourite restaurant (of all time, not just in Macclesfield). Every dish is tasty, the menu has good variety of curries (yellow/red/green/penang) as well as stir fry options and the quality is consistently high. I highly recommend the mixed starter option. Mark always has time for a chat and remembers details about regular customers which is nice. Brought my husband here for our first date and this visit was for the in-laws visiting - they love it too. I really hope it remains open for many more years to come.

He always supplies us with a fine wine at the optimum temperature. The food is esquisite and one of my frineds proclaims that this Thai place is better than any he has eaten in before, and he's eaten in a load. Don't usually do reviews but felt compelled as the Maliwan deserves every praise.

This is the last time I have a take away from here. Everytime before I read the reviews and think I’ve been unlucky but tonight is the last time I repeat the same expensive and disappointing experience. My partner ordered chicken in special southern Thai sauces - honestly it had a few pieces of overcooked chicken in a watery soup, not a sauce, packed out with 2 big pieces of cauliflower and 2 of broccoli to try and make it look like it was worth £18! I had the drunken tofu noodles - smallest portion ever with huge pieces of pepper and greasy tofu to pack it out - it was worth £6 and cost £12. I could go on but I won’t. It is poor quality and over priced.
