Sindhu in Windsor and Maidenhead

Bit disappointed as was comparing it to Benares but standard and decor is that of a local Indian. I wouldn't say it's worth travelling for. Pleasant enough if you're in the area.

Do not go if you are planning to park. Their parking system sucks, I entered my car reg number at the reception in the registration system but still got a ticket! And when I called to ask for help, they asked me to sort it out myself. Very rude and uncooperative staff.

So this is a lovely setting and service fine. The food was beautifully presented but portions rather small especially the dessert( I stopped off to get some cake on the drive home) What spoilt it was their idea of a set meal with surcharges on many options.This was to be frank taking the piss! 2 glasses of prosecco were included but god alone knows how the end bill was £108 for 2. An extra glass of wine a nan a few tiny popadoms and service charge added £48 to a £60 bill! Never again

We booked this as a Virgin experience lunch deal. The service was fantastic and the food amazing. We will definitely book to go back for dinner and a stay in the future. The lamb was gorgeous and the Dahl spectacular! Would highly recommend

Having enjoyed a number of visits in the past to Sindhu at the Complete Angler, Marlow thought we’d take friends to celebrate a special birthday. A two hour drive for us so always a stay over which is such a treat but sadly on this occasion not so. We enjoy the Tasting menu which has always been mind blowing but this visit only three of the courses out of seven came up trumps. A very disappointing evening .. not cheap with wine included. Our last visit sadly.

Outstanding. Best curry I've ever eaten. Excellent staff. Credit to their profession. A+

Been there for first time and having testing menu paring with wines . Very good experience there . All each course very unique . Staffs are very good know what they are doing. Shani Thai staff she is good at food and beverage, we well impressed. Highly recommended.

Other than unclear communication about whether the bread was provided in the set menu, the food overall was good. Slightly under spiced for my pallette. However we were given a fresh spiced side sauce. Lovely setting with views over the river. Recommend the prawn starter. 👍🏻

Not worth half the price tag. Came here years ago and was fantastic, really different and worthy of the hype. After tonight’s experience it’s not worth premium over your average high street Indian. Bland bland bland. Can now understand why the restaurant was mostly empty on a Friday night.

Disappointing. The minimalist interior design offers no white table cloths and the Formica tables give a canteen feel. The tasting menu with wine is £133 each and failed to live up to its high ticket price. The staff were pleasant but the ambience does not deliver. It was regrettable that the Maitre D’ tried to hustle us for a £30 service charge on top of the significant bill.

Great food and service. The restaurant itself is awful, soulless, echoes and cold. We dined at the same time as a large party and you couldn’t hear yourself think over the noise.

Fantastic food, great location 🙌🏻 Enjoyed delicious indian food. Have been here a few times.. this time tried 3 course set menu on a weekend. Each item was delicious - chicken, monk fish and the dessert 😋

Me and my hubby visited for lunch. Lovely location right next to the river, overlooking the weir. Friendly, professional, helpful and happy staff giving excellent service. Food was well cooked, presented and very very tasty. Good value lunch menu. Would recommend and would visit again if in the area.

Some places you choose not only for the food, but also for the location. This absolutely is one of these. Friday was a lovely sunny day, so we arrived early to sit on the terrace and enjoy the beautiful views across the river Thames with a cocktail. Top marks. The restaurant as always was lovely. Great food. The service was fine. But….. I ordered a bottle of wine white. They brought a different one. OK, let it slide. We ordered a red. Was it the Pomerol you ordered; err nope. Try again. Another bottle arrived. This was wrong too. But, but.. we had a great night. The food was super and we will be back.

Visited with wife whilst staying at Compleat Angler hotel. Food is amazing. Had monkfish to start, out of this world. Then lamb curry. Also great. Tried an Indian Shiraz, will definitely have again. Portions are generous. A tip would be that one rice and one side between 2 is sufficient. Service also very good. Lovely location overlooking Thames.

The most incredible food, always such a treat. Atul’s staff are second to none and always so pleasant, attentive and give great recommendations. The restaurant has a stunning view of the Thames and the atmosphere is beautiful. Thank you for making our day so special. We will be back again soon!

Please avoid if you have self respect. If you like to overpay and enjoy staff doing the bare minimum than this is is the place for you.

Outstanding Indian food, incredible subtle favours. Everything was exciting. tender lamb, rich dal, interesting vegetable side dishes and cumin pulao rice. Lots of interesting fish dishes and desserts. Top notch service. Great location. Huge downside that really marred our experience is the noise. The room is all hard surfaces and the restaurant was full so it was deafening. This place needs to sort out the acoustics, then it will be perfect.

We stayed in The Compleat Angler and decided to book a table for my partner’s 70th birthday. The staff were incredibly helpful and the food was to die for. The surroundings are amazing. We had the taster menu and my favourite course was the monkfish, although it’s very hard to pick a favourite.

The food is outstanding . After a long time I tasted authentic North Indian food just like Delhi. Great experience , would love to visit again. It’s a bit noisy but maybe it was because of the weekend.

Lovely place and food is great .by the Thames. What more can you ask for

We attended this restaurant 2 weeks ago and told the staff about a nut allergy. First dish, the aloo chat, had cashew nuts in. My partner had a severe allergic reaction to this. The chef came out and said it was raw garlic and in fact not a cashew nut. It was not garlic, it looked like a cashew nut, it tasted like a cashew nut. The waiter then took the cashew nut inside and must have tried it and confirmed it was a nut and definitely not garlic. This was by far the worst experience we have ever had at a restaurant. My partner had to take 2 days off work thereafter. Firstly, it was due to presence of nuts and my partners severe reaction to this. Secondly, it was due to the gaslighting from the chef insisting it was not a nut. Luckily, I have taken a photo of the dish with the nut as proof. The waiter was very apologetic at the end. We were still charged £60 and had to pay for said starter!! We also have a copy of the receipt. If you have an allergy and want to visit this restaurant , I would not recommend as they cannot be trusted. We would appreciate if management can contact us regarding this matter.

Indian restaurant outside London in Marlow Wonderful and beautiful sessions on the lake

Sindhu excels with its stunning location and beautiful property, creating an inviting atmosphere. The food is consistently very good, with a diverse menu that impresses. However, the service falls short; staff were inattentive during my first visit, and on my second, I was asked to wait outside for arriving five minutes early. Despite this, the overall experience is still worth it for the great food and ambiance.

A great 7 course tasting menu. Too few pics taken as we were enjoying it too much. The peach wine was a revelation!

Wasn't blown away by the food it was decent. I wouldn't call this authentic. It was good not outstanding. I'm from New Jersey which has really authentic Indian restaurants. This restaurant is quite a bit westernized.

Had the seven course tasting menu and it was excellent. I had halibut instead of lamb or venison, was delicious. Overall an excellent night with lovely staff. Even bought the book with the recipes in.

Enjoyed a really nice lunch earlier today. Food was excellent as you would expect and staff were really attentive and accommodating as we had our 18 month old son with us. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

Had lunch on a Monday. Great value three course menu. Service fantastic. Great wine and cocktails. The food was great and tasty. Highly recommend. Nice surroundings.

Brilliant meal from the lunch menu. Tasty, spicy, just as it should be.

Great dinner, food was outstanding, service impeccable and the wine superb. Great for romantic celebrations

Food and service was good quality. Great location next to river Thames.

Went on a Saturday evening and it was very busy which is fine but it was SO noisy!! Had to literally shout across our table for 2 to be heard. We'd recently dined at Sindhu aboard P&O Brittania which was a very different atmosphere so we were a little surprised and disappointed. It is after all run by a Michelin starred chef so expected a smarter vibe. My food was delicious!! My husband on the other hand was very disappointed with his biryani main. Dry and tasteless. It is not cheap to eat here so all of the dishes should be of a much higher standard. We went for our anniversary expecting a re run of Sindhu Brittania and quite honestly there is no comparison. We actually would not of thought both were run by Atul Kochhar had we not known beforehand. Sadly, I doubt we'll return. Shame.

I love eating here - the staff, the food the drinks and then the view! The mango wine and cocktails are a must if you drink (we had a mojito 👌🏻) The tasting menu is so delicious-each time the kitchen have been able to accommodate a dietary requirement (they need notice) and i never feel like im missing out. My fiance loves the food and the lamb was standout! We keep returning and have never been disappointed-from the popadoms to the pud so tasty. I cant recommend enough!

Had a meal here when staying at the hotel. The flavour of the dishes is excellent but in my view this is an Indian restaurant for those who enjoy heat and spice. The Chicken Tikka Massala is extremely flavoursome but has a comparable heat level to a Madras from a more inferior venue. Roast Potatoes were a little soggy. Rice was lovely as were the breads. Service is attentive but could have enquired into our meal a bit sooner for my liking. Desserts are wonderful. The Kulfi was one of the best I've ever had. View across the Weir is lovely. Very good but wasn't blown away.

We had the 7 course tasting menu, which was delicious. We loved the coriander pickle that came with the poppadoms and they were kind enough to give us a small container of it to take away. One suggestion to the serving staff; talk to the guests to see how regularly they'd like the courses to be presented. Some people are happy to have the whole meal done within 30-40 minutes, but we wanted to go at a much more leisurely pace and discuss the tastes and flavours of each course, and we had to ask them a couple of times to slow the pace down. We also decided to stay the night at The Compleat Angler as they had some great value rooms as a 'last minute' rate. The attached picture is of the hotel/restaurant from the other side of the river Thames.

Amazing experience! Enjoyed our tasting menu. Everything was cooked to perfection with incredible flavour. Staff was very attentive and polite.

The food was absolutely mind blowing. From the popodoms and amazing coriander and pickle accompaniments I knew I was in for a treat. The paneer was next level. Char grilled to perfection with flavour and texture that were buzzing and aromatic. The monkfish was the best... Cooled to perfection with a beautiful sauce and coating. I had Bhapa doi for dessert. A new dish. So light, with just the right amount of saffron for decadence. I also had a yummy birthday treat. The staff were so great, and view of the Thames was a treat. Nearly forgot... Amazing Sancerre rose. Thanks all for a very special birthday lunch.

Authentic South Indian food with rich flavour yet healthy with not too much oily. Bang on the taste buds. Mutton pepper fry with parotha , samosa chat , mutton curry and rasamalai was amazing.

We came here for lunch on our way from London to Scotland, since we had read great reviews about the place. Located on River Thames with a beautiful scenic view, the food and ambience lived up to our expectations. Chef Menon came out himself and gave us his suggestions from the vegetarian menu and ensured his team looked after us wll. Starting with the mocktail (pineapple and coconut cooler) to our starter (chaat) and to the main course (paneer/dal/kofte/peshawari naan), everything was just perfect. And to add cherry on the top was our dessert. We definitely recommend going to this place whenever you want to relish some good Indian cuisine.

Arriving at the hotel in which the restaurant is situated, we had the amazing view of the river and entered the hotel to be welcomed by the staff with happy faces. The staff took us to our seats and were very accommodating of my coconut allergy. They took our order and we enjoyed the view of the river. Shortly after this, the poppadoms were placed before us. These were amazing, I was pleasantly surprised when the smaller poppadoms just melted in my mouth. The chutneys both had an amazing flavour. This was then followed by the starter, the chicken tikka was beautifully moist, with a little kick of spice to it. Then the mains came and the lamb was beautifully tender and the curry was fragrant. The naans also came and they were really nice with the cheese melted just right to get that stringy effect. The puddings came and it was very nice, the honeycomb on the Rasmalai was a nice touch and the vanilla ice cream was very rich and creamy. The drinks we had through the meal were very nice, the mango lassi wasn’t too thick and the mojito was flavoursome and the chilli didn’t make it too spicy. Overall, an amazing meal with amazingly attentive staff. I would definitely recommend eating here.

Beautiful meal with lovely surroundings overlooking the Thames. Very attentive staff and made our wedding anniversary trip something to remember.

Celebrated a birthday, food and service were superb.

Few starters were good but food was just ok. Staff was friendly. Drinks were great

Fantastic food, great staff, lovely setting.

Another excellent lunch.Thank you to all concerned.Thank you too for the birthday cake and candle for my friend whose birthday we were celebrating....a very kind gesture.

The setting and view is just wonderful. The food designed by Atal, a prized celebrity chef was over powering in flavour. Starters of paneer and chicken were lovely. The best of the main of monkfish (two small pieces) and lamb was the side of dhal. The dhal was delicious. The sauce to the monkfish was really overpowering and too much. Used a voucher so really nice treat. Desserts lacked any really Asian influences. Free parking which is good but do pop your reg number in the display in reception. Lovely to try something new but didn’t really hit the mark.

Fantastic food and impeccable service. Highly recommended if you like classic Indian dishes served to perfection. Biryani in particular was a standout

Great food and great service as usual. This place doesn’t go wrong.

The setting is lovely and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered from the a la carte menu. The food overall was very good. The reason for the 4 star was because the chicken tikka starter was very bland. Was not chargrilled had hardly any flavour was like boiled chicken with mint sauce over it. There was no salad with any of the starters either. The monkfish starter was delicious. The portion sizes are very generous. The mains were very good we had the lamb and prawn curries. The pilau rice was in a bit lumpy which makes me wonder how fresh it was. However the meal was tasty. The bread was tasty as were the popadoms at the start of the meal. All in all a lovely early Mother’s Day meal and we would return.

Great food and decent wine pairings. The service was erratic and impersonal. The wine was often either served a long time before or after the food. Lots of different waiters so no one had an overview of our experience

Fantastic venue and wonderful food. Service felt a little rushed.

Great restaurant in beautiful location with friendly efficient service and excellent food. We had set menu which was beautifully cooked and presented with complimentary dishes. We had coffee in the lounge with lovely petit fours which was so relaxing. The only downside was noise level in restaurant, as there was a very lively party

Brilliant service and a fantastic set lunch menu. The view of the Thames is spectacular and you couldn't ask for more in terms of quality of food.

Amazing restaurant! This was our first time and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Great location, fantastic food and very friendly staff. It would have been even better if you had more options for vegetarians on the set menu. That would have definitely made it 5 star!

Lovely food - did the tasting menu which is, as usual, delicious. Probably the best tasting menu we've had there. Nice to have a couple of warm first courses, rather than cold ones. We were pretty full by the time the 5th course came out, which is quite a big serving, but we managed. The dessert course was a bit dull compared with all the others - chocolate fondant - would have preferred something lighter and more spiced/different. Matching wines were good. Overall a lovely evening.

Seven course tasting menu doesn’t disappoint, excellent food & service throughout our visit.

An excellent lunch - we chose from the finest price three course lunch menu. Very good

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Food and service were exceptional. Wonderfully friendly staff. Also had the paired wine flight which I must say was one of the nicest I’ve had. Loved it !

Enjoyable lunch which we had a voucher for though paid An additional 60 on top Though no complaints staff attentive tasty food and nice atmosphere, chef also came around at the end of the meal to Every table for feedback which was nice would go back or to another of his restaurants

Good ambience and beautifully presented food that was delicious! The service was excellent and pleasing, well done to the staff. Would definitely recommend for lunch and be visiting again.

Excellent lunch as always. Returning again next month.

This was my 5th visit to Sindhu, and probably my last for a while as the dining experience was just okay this time. The staff were friendly and polite as one would expect, but at times hard to understand when introducing the taster menu courses and supporting wine due to a busy restaurant (great to see a busy restaurant, but just need to reflect service changes at these times). I personally didn’t like 2 of the 7 courses (dumplings and partridge), which is a first with the many tasting menus I have experienced. The small things that matter were missing this visit, eg I accidentally knocked one of the wine flight glasses over and this was not replaced, despite spending over £250; also, acknowledgment for a 5th visit would have been a nice touch too, of which I mentioned when checking in. The first bottle of red I ordered, the Indian Shiraz, was already opened, but fortunately the server realised this just as he was about to serve, so took it away and bought an unopened bottle back, albeit not warmed or time to breath. There was no amuse bouche from the chef, which is something that would have been a nice touch for an award winning restaurant.

Sindhu is one of my favourite restaurants. The food is incredible and the staff are wonderful. It is overall just a fantastic place to eat and feels like such a treat.

A great welcome from friendly staff as we approached the restaurant. We were offered a drink before we were taken to our table but decided to go straight into the restaurant. We had wonderful views. Menus and drinks arrived quickly. Food was of excellent quality with so much flavour. Staff were attentive but not intrusive.

Good experience, and we usually take our colleagues for lunch or dinner. Yesterday’s visit was son’s 18th birthday, and opted for tasting menu for family. The experience was okish. Wanted to give the feedback on the vegetarian main course, dal had raw bits (inedible) and kofta sauce was way too salty. I did not give this feedback in time as it was a birthday occasion, but food and particularly main course was disappointing. Hope it gets improved.

Worst Indian food experience, starters were bad , pakoras were burnt, worst prawn curry, dessert ras mallai was just the rus no mallai , we were utterly disappointed ☹️

I had the Lamb curry and was dissapointed with the quality of the meat and sauce didn't have the depth of flavour expected. We recently ate at Kanishka and think that the quality was better there hence our slight dissapointment with Sindhu

Hi, we had a Business dinner at Sindhu and to be honest it fell well short of our expectations. For a restaurant by a renowned Chef it didn’t live up to the standard. The food lacked rich deep flavours and the presentation was run off the mill and not as advertised on the website. The menu lacked creativity, which was one of the reasons for booking the place as we thought that a chef of Atul’s calibre could bring something new. Would I go again, probably not.

Great lunch by the Thames with service to match. Smaller than i thought and not to crammed in. Just remember to register your car when you go in.

Fabulous flavours... between us we tried the meat pescatarian and vegetarian tasting menus. Particular care wad taken with a gluten free menu. Drinks a little pricey but would repeat the visit when the menu is changed

From arrival until we left the service and attention paid to us couldn't have been better. One of our party had an allergy and the staff couldn't have been more considerate and understanding. All of the food together with drinks were excellent and we'll definitely be going back. Highly recommended!

Just had a brilliant lunch at the Sindhu Restaurant in the Compleat Angler Hotel, Marlow. Very unusual dishes superbly prepared and presented. Helpful and attentive staff in a fascinating location overlooking the Thames. The evening menu is expensive but widely praised, but the lunch was great value. We will be coming back

Sindhu is a regular favourite of mine for lunch so this is a return visit.Everything as always was very good indeed so much so that I shall be back for lunch next week!

This is our 3rd visit to the restaurant and we are never disappointed. The food was delicious as always.

We celebrated our anniversary with a special lunch at Sindhu. The food was amazing, honestly the finest Indian meal we have ever had. The setting within the Compleat Angler was lovely and the service was excellent. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The food was great, and the staff were super attentive to our needs

Most incredible meal, service, amuse bouche, petit four, views - food to die for!!!! Took my mother for a treat - exceptional evening. Lamb biryani so tender, chutneys and all accompaniments so flavourful. Bread basket was huge! Roast potatoes a win…. Very good value for money!

I ate here multiple times during a 10 night stay at the Compleat Angler. The food is outstanding and innovative. I didn't do any of the tasting menus because you need a massive appetite, but I saw people eating this, and it looked incredible. The location is lovely and the interior of the restaurant is attractive. I tried a lot of things from the menu and everything was first rate with beautiful presentation. The staff in the restaurant are all amazing, and they were very kind to this solo, older female, and made me feel welcomed and not weird for being alone. (I was visiting from the US and my mother is in a nursing home in Marlow.) Definitely some of the best Indian food I have ever eaten. I'll be back in a few weeks, and this will be my number 1 dining choice!

I had booked for 3 people and upon reaching the waiter said their system had booked for 2 only (confirmation email showed 3). Then  server gave us a  table that was just big enough for 1 person. Frustrated, We all decided to leave and find another restaurant. The manager on duty was very kind & asked us to wait. Eventually she was able to sort out a decent table for us. (14 feb'24, 1 pm) Thanks to the manager we were able to have a good lunch.

We came to Sindhu about 4 years ago and had one of the best meals we’d ever had. We were really looking to this visit with friend’s. Overall disappointing. First course came out cold. They did replace it. The flavours were just not as good this time round. Lamb was ok and the dhal ok. But not great which is what it should be. Wine was expensive for what it was and two bottles we asked for were not avail. We poured our own wine as service just wasn’t up to par. Gutted as we’d really praised Sindhu at our last visit. Sad to say but we won’t be back again

very good set menu with lovely dishes in mangeable quantity

An early lunch at 12.15pm, but it was St.Valentine’s Day. We got the table we asked for which was good. The staff were excellent if a little over attentive at times ( I think we were asked if we enjoyed the meal 3 times!). The food was superb, faultless really. One small downer was the Masala Chai. We asked for it to be temperature hot. It turned out to be lukewarm & over milky. We will order coffee next time. (Still no South Indian coffee served which is what we really like.)

It was a fantastic occasion and very enjoyable. Everything about the meal was brilliant and I want to say thank you to the front of house staff for making it such a memorable meal. Strongly recommend and will be coming back again soon.

Food, service and ambience were all amazing. Would definately recommend for special occasion .

My husband & I had lunch yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary & I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect experience. Exceptional food & service as I’ve now come to expect from Atul Kuchar’s restaurant. The lunch menu is amazing value. Thank you for a great experience.

We went for our anniversary celebration and we were treated very well. There were a few complimentary food which was a lovely surprise for us. All the staff members were lovely. Food is so yum and the location is beautiful. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

A delicious lunch with the family Food was fantastic. Service very attentive and one of the best Vodka Martinis I’ve ever had.

We ordered the 7 course tasting menu . Had to wait up to 30 min between courses which totally ruined the whole experience however, the food was excellent. Without me asking the staff removed the cost of one meal and service charge, But I would have preferred to be totally happy and pay the £300! and to have had a lovely weekend break. Very poor show.

The staff were very welcoming & friendly .The food was excellent. We had the a la carte menu option,which had a varied choice. My monkfish starter was delicious & very generous in size, so was the lamb sheesh starter. We both had the chicken biriyani served with a bread too which again was so tasty. Will definitely visit agaiin it

Another very enjoyable night. The food is always spot on and so are the staff.

My first visit to Sindhu but I’d heard good reviews. I was not disappointed. The reception was efficient and cordial. The atmosphere was “busy” but very ordered. Throughout, the front of house team were polite, efficient and attentive without being over bearing. We were not rushed and had plenty of time to eat and enjoy our time together. There were 5 of us for lunch and we went with the choices on the “Lunch Menu”. There was plenty of choice and we all found meals that we liked. The house red wine was good and complimented the meal. I had the Tandoori Ratan to start and the Monkfish Curry as a main. There was plenty of rice and dhal provided. We also had Samosas, potato cakes and the bread basket as sides. The food was perfectly cooked and well spiced. The dishes were perfectly balanced. I would highly recommend and if it weren’t for the fact that I live over 225 miles away, I would be a “regular”!

Exquisite indian cuisine served in a beautiful restaurant in a picturesque location by the riverside.

Amazing food - best chicken biryani I have ever tasted! Service was wonderful and the view from the restaurant is just beautiful! Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Really nice evening and lovely food service was excellent had a 7 course taster menu which was a good way to try things also plenty of food this place is well worth a visit

The food was absolutely amazing. The chutneys were fresh and vibrant and the poppadum selection was different and very tasty. The Monkfish starter was the best Monkfish dish I have ever had. My husband had the Hake as a main course and said it was really special. Service was very attentive. My only criticism would be that different people tried to top our wine up over and over again even though we had already said no thank you and that we would do it. I fully appreciate that this is a nice touch but we want to be in control of what we are drinking and once you have said no, I think that should be acknowledge (especially by the fourth time). I think it did not help that there were so many different people in attendance at one table. Having said that we would without question highly recommend a visit and will not hesitate to return here ourselves.

Great food and Neilesh brought a special cheerful smile every time he came to either serve or check on our table.

Delicious food though limited vegetarian options.
