Rehan Siddiqui On Friday 23rd January, we went for dinner at C&O Turkish Restaurant just off Peascod Street in Windsor. I had already called ahead to ensure all of the meat served was halal including the steaks! It was fairly quiet around 8:30pm, with only a couple of tables occupied, but we were attended to immediately. Drinks and starters were taken straight away and we opted for a simple hummus to begin. For mains, I had a beautiful lamb kleftiko – a lamb shank served with vegetables and mashed potato in a herby tomato sauce – and it was genuinely one of the best I’ve had. My wife chose the lamb adana kebab, and my daughter had the chicken wings. Everyone agreed the food was really good and clearly cooked with care. You could tell the team were making a real effort with service. The only slight distraction was a customer at the table in front repeatedly complaining about chewing gum under her table – one of those things better handled discreetly (by the customer), as not everyone needs to hear it. We had the pleasure of meeting the lovely owner, Jihan, who came over to chat with us. When I asked for mint sauce with my lamb shank, Jihan actually sent someone to a local shop to get some – that, for me, is outstanding customer service. To finish, my wife and daughter were offered complimentary Turkish tea and a fruit tea, which was a really nice touch. This is a wonderful addition to the two other Turkish restaurants already in Windsor, but I’d say the food here was better – which means we’ll definitely be back.

Meriliis Pashaj ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place always feels like home – they never forget their customers and the welcome is always warm. The food is fresh, authentic and cooked with so much love by Italian chefs. The seafood is my absolute favourite, but everything from the pasta and pizza to the meat and fish is always spot on. It’s family owned local & family-friendly, relaxed, and one of those restaurants you keep coming back to. Fun fact: whenever we visit Italy, we always laugh that the food in our local Italian restaurant is actually even better! That says it

Khánh Tín Nguyễn Perfect location, in the centre of Old Windsor, very near Windsor castle. Delicious foods and drinks. I am really interested in sweet dessert. Staff is friendly and helpful. It was cold so the staff turned on the heating for customers. Perfect!.

J Stone Came across this hidden gem with my wife on our day out on this beautiful day, best spent in Windsor. The decorations were stunning and full of character, like a pink cosy cottage. We sat on the love bench by the pink fireplace, and wow, what a wonderful ambience. I had the quarter rottiserie chicken with chips and a salad, and my wife opted for the beef burger without a top bun. The food was tender, juicy, and the salad was surprisingly good. Topped it off with a cotton candy ice cream on the way out to continue our day, decorated and served beautifully to us by Iman. Definitely coming back to this cafe, one not to miss.

Anna Li Volsi Absolutely outstanding, this place is a true gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between warm, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish. It’s the kind of space where you immediately feel comfortable, whether you’re here for a casual meal or a special occasion. The staff deserve special praise. Every visit, they have been attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring, without ever feeling intrusive. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and that energy makes a huge difference in the overall experience. And the food simply exceptional. Every dish is beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with flavor. The consistency is what truly stands out: this is my fourth time coming back, and each visit has been just as impressive as the last. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers at such a high level every single time. This is the kind of place you recommend without hesitation and keep returning to again and again. I’ll definitely be back and many more times to come. Keep up the amazing work!

Michelle McCarthy Dined at 1866 Restaurant last week for the Irish Racenight. All the staff were so attentive and efficient. The food came out at perfect times and was so tasty. Especially the chocolate / caramel moose dessert. Great evening from start to finish.
