The Oddfellows - (Near Berkshire, london)

Shantanu Rahman I have been in the UK for more than 20 years now. Being originally from India, I never had a great experience in any Indian cuisine restaurant here in the UK. They all try to bring a weird taste to Indian cuisine thinking that would cater well to British and migrated Asian palate better. But I have to admit that I had an amazing experience and joy when I visited The Zaika Inn at Marlborough last week. The food is simply mind-blowing! You can rarely get this sort of fabulous food even in extremely high-end 5 star hotels and restaurants in India. The taste, presentation and quality of service was exemplary. The menu is so original and food is prepared with fresh, authentic spices. I even had the privilege of talking to the owner and Chef, Mr Biswas. He is such a passionate restaurateur. His love for cooking and serving his customers is easily palpable and that is the USP of The Zaika Inn. I strongly recommend this restaurant to all. If you have not visited this place then you have not tasted real Indian cuisine.

Olena “Excellent experience at The Palm Indian Restaurant. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was delicious, full of authentic flavour, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Aileen and John also provided helpful advice on dishes, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended.”

Thomas Eldridge An absolute gem we stumbled upon accidentally. Food was excellent, as was the service. Hasan was a fantastic host, and is obviously a great example to his staff, who were all first class. I hope to be stumbling past there again very soon

Tracey Equestrian The best chicken satay Ive had for a long time!! So tasty and peanutty and not greasy at all! I forgot to take a picture of it on the skewers so this is after Id pulled the skewers out. A good amount of sauce with it too. Highly recommend trying this dish. Literally only grabbed this and chips in the way home after a night out but will be back! We got there at 10.55pm and they close at 11pm. Wasnt sure if they would serve us but they very kindly did with a smile even though we could see they were ready to go.

Gilo Fletch Loved this place. Amazing I’m home cooked Italian food. Staying three nights in Marlborough and popped into the restaurant one afternoon to see if we could book a tale in the evening. The owner said he was very busy with Christmas party group of 40+ but he could fit us in. Every table in the place was taken but the food was still perfect. The starters, the main and dessert. All came out in good time. Glorious wine and very friendly service. I’d recommend anyone who likes Italian food to eat here.

Mike Gong We booked Sunday lunch on a recommendation, we were not disappointed at all . From the reservation booking , where your choice of fine meats were made available for your visit , to the lovely setting, great service and relaxed dining experience all was excellent, The meals were of s very good level with everything on the plates were cooked beautifully., cauliflower and savoy cheesy dish was fantastic, and the homemade yorkies were delicious. We would have been delighted at this point, but we went for desserts , the home made sticky toffee pudding was delicious with a perfect balance of pud and caramel sauce , but OMG , the seasonal crumble was out of this world …in all of my years I’ve never tasted anything as delicious, hats off to the chefs, and the team . As an amateur events chef and foodie this visit is right up there (the crumble takes top spot ) Thank you The Shears 10/10
