Franklyns Bistro - (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.

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.

Daniel Lane Smashing little cafe. Had a coffee before our walk around the stones and it did the job well. Had some nice ice creams on sale that were particularly tempting but just too cold for me on that chilly December day. Great service.

Jubayer J “Fantastic kebab from Buns and Grills! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was tender and well-seasoned, and the portion size was just right. The service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for quality takeaway. Will definitely be ordering again!”

Cara Daydreameruk Seems the new owners are doing just as good a job as the last ones. A joy to order, fantastic communication and exemplary food too. Had a delicious coffee and a sandwich that was heaving with super fresh fillings. Perfection.
