"Have wanted to try this takeaway for a couple of years due to good reviews and a love of spicy food. So finally ordered online last night. Went for the set meal for two consisting of Poppadoms and chutney, two pakoras, salad, two mains with...rice and nan. Had the Himalayan Lamb and Hot Khathmandu Chicken for mains and it was delicious. Everything was cooked really well. Normally with a takeaway you have to re-heat the mains if you eat the starter separately but not in this case, it was all piping hot. Only very slight criticism was too much rice and a plain nan instead of peshwari or keema, but overall an excellent meal. Well worth a try."

"I'm vegetarian, vegan actually but that's a problem I face most places. I live in shanghai so I was very intrigued when I saw vegetarian xiaolongbao because even living in mainland I've never seen that before. And I've been there for a while. I was super nervous and cautious when I ordered it didn't seem like the server understood me when I spoke in rustic mandarin so I translated in English too? It was albeit weird when she offered to eat one of my dumplings to check if it's actually vegetarian after tearing into one. They got my order wrong a total of 4 times, but eventually got me vegetarian xiaolongbao and that was worth the hassle. Absolutely recommended. The vegetarian fried rice...read more"

"Went to this restaurant, which seemed ok from the average reviews. We were one adult and a child. Ordered the crispy duck, sweet sour king prawn, chicken noodles, a beer and a coke. All for £61. The food was average, quickly delivered, which questions whether it was just warmed up to order. The portions were small with a 12.5%. There are much better Chinese restaurants in the area… The Mandarin Kitchen has a similar price point but with a much better quality and portions in comparaison."

"Very disappointing. Service was bad had to ask for tap water twice and took ages to get some (only got it during our second course). The food was alright. I had the aubergine hot pot which only had about 3 pieces of aubergine and the pot was only half full. Rice wasn’t even included. The desert was only one mochi ball, and it was completely melted! It looked like soup... asked for a new one and got the same ones back. Asked for new ones again but different flavour, and these were rock hard. You couldn’t even bight into them. The waiter also made a passive aggressive comment whilst serving it. The service in general made us feel very uncomfortable. The guy at the bar kept staring at me and talking to someone else which made it look like they were talking about us. When we wanted to pay and leave, no one was in sight. We were waiting for at least 15 minutes until someone showed up and we could pay the bill. Overall, negative experience. Didn’t feel welcome, food wasn’t worth the money and poor service."

"My husband and I went to this restaurant for the first time as newlyweds. We chose it because some of the menu items are halal, so we were grateful for that. The food was delicious. We returned specifically for the duck, even though my husband was hoping for Peking duck, which was not on the menu as he expected (since he is Chinese). The curry, shrimp, and service were all excellent. I went back to the restaurant again as a special milestone in my life, as I was leaving the UK for good, and once again we chose Maximini. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the service was quick. They are accommodating in terms of how you want your food served, whether all at once or in intervals. Definitely worth a visit, and for me, it also holds sentimental value. The restaurant is tucked away and conveniently located opposite Diana Princess Memorial Park."
