Malik's - South Bucks

My partner and I had dinner here for the first time and we were very pleased with the friendly and courteous service. The seating was comfortable and the restaurant had a unique atmosphere. We enjoyed the food and thought it was a good value. A 10% service fee was included in the bill. We will definitely be recommending this place to others and will be back soon for another visit.

This restaurant serves the best Indian food in town. We are loyal customers and decided to give it a try tonight. Despite having to drive over half an hour to pick up our order, there was a slight mix-up. The staff promptly resolved the issue and delivered the correct order to us right away. Even though we were located outside their delivery area, the food was still hot when it arrived. Great service!

All four dishes seemed to be smothered in the same overly sweet red sauce, heavily seasoned with a handful of spices. As someone who has spent a lot of time in India, West Bengal, Sri Lanka, etc., I found this meal to be the worst example of Anglicized cuisine pretending to be top-notch Indian food. It felt like the dishes were all just variations of the same sauce - red, brown, and beige with added flavors depending on the dish. The fish was overcooked to the point of being mushy. I would recommend driving 30 minutes to Southall for a more authentic dining experience. The service was mediocre and the prices were high for the quality of food. It is baffling to me how Heston Blumenthal, Ben Kingsley, and others could have given such glowing reviews to this place. Perhaps it was better 25 years ago, but not anymore.

So was a regular for a good 10 years, though for a 2 year break due to covid, I booked for the Sunday buffet. all new employees (not sure whether the main restaurant is new owned) who are obviously not trained in the service....Book the table by phone, the immediate answer was that they were closed by 2 clock not very inviting. the restaurant was empty walk from a table of 3 and a large employee family meeting. when entering the staff was around the floor and did not sit down or greet us. the food was ok, but the self-service buffet offer has remained unchanged for years, so I am bored. but to get big delays with us a drink, I always had to ask for a glass of water (they wouldn't leave the cripple), and the server were really just at the employees gathering it felt uncomfortable that the on-duty staff stand to chase the big table next to us with their off-service staff and ignore us. I had to literally wave my poor to win their attention. I'm not back.

Eating is lovely, right on my street. great service, friendly and smiling. such great quality.
