A1 Grill & Pizza - (Near Berkshire, london)

Dave Hayward Can unfortunately only confirm that its totally inauthentic these days. Am sure we had a good time here a year of so ago. Feels like thai made up from local Tesco or Sainsburys ingredients Didnt dislike our food, and it actually arrived very quickly, and was hot, but it felt like another culture were just making up "Thai" because they inherited a restaurant with Thai in the name. Am sure no Thai people would put this out. Watery, buttery Thai green curry, etc. no coconut. No spice. Laab Kai (one of my favourite dishes) was cherry tomatoes, a quartered cucumber, raw red onion and some raw bean sprouts plus the chicken. As others have said more like a greek salad? It was all edible and we ate it and satisfied enough / not poisoned, but Id not order again.

Henry What makes a good restaurant? Clearly food will feature somewhere on your list and in the case of The Waterside this takes the form of classic French cooking. Nothing is “deconstructed” or designed to surprise. You know exactly what you’re getting from the menu and if you’ve visited previously you probably even know what you’re going to order before you arrive. Nothing is intended to shock. Far too many restaurants at all levels feature a talented kitchen team let down by their front of house. From the moment you arrive here everyone knows what they are doing and wants to make your visit as enjoyable as they possibly can. They’re not trying to trip you up, you don’t have to be fluent in gastronomy or know anything about malolactic fermentation. The sommelier is there to help, not to test. No one is judging you although I’d be lying if said we didn’t people watch our fellow diners a little. You are family when dining at The Waterside, it’s not in any way stuffy or starched. That’s not to suggest service is casual, seamless would be my best description with teams assembling when required to reveal your next course before melting away again to leave you to your conversation. The Waterside is a happy place. My memory of the venue is that it’s a bit dated, the phrase “Chinese restaurant” was used as we drove there but things have quietly evolved. It’s actually quite smart these days. The bathrooms are modern and fresh, the soft furnishings crisp and comforting with a nod to the history of the venue. Let us not forget this is an institution woven into the fabric of British restaurant history.

Ben Humphrey Stopped to check the menu and was pleasantly surprised. 2 of is had the lamb shanks which were perfect and soft. Risotto was enjoyed as well and the chicken pie. Friendly helpful staff and nice spot by the river. Didnt even notice traffic from the bridge.

john storrie We have always had great tasty food from the Maidenhead Fat Buddha and our first delivery was on the 28th for a party of 9. I ordered on the web app and requested a 7pm delivery. The food arrived hot and on time, great service & delivery. All of our party had ordered very different starters, mains and vegetable dishes. We had a superb feast and everybody was well fed with great tasting food. Thanks to all the FB team, front of house, back of house and the delivery team, our experience was excellent!

suksiable Just ate at Javitri and it blew me away. Ambience The place looks gorgeous warm lights, comfy seats, and a chill vibe. Easily the nicest restaurant I’ve been to lately. Food I ordered the Dhaba Chicken with Missi Roti. The chicken was packed with flavor and the roti was fresh off the griddle. Food was truly authentic and unbeatable. View When you’re done eating, step out back. The view is picture‑perfect and a great spot to relax after a big meal. In short: amazing food, beautiful setting, and a nice view to top it off. Will definitely recommend and willing to go back again.
