"Cedar Marlow really feels like a home from home. The staff always welcome you with a smile and it always feels like they are genuinely happy to see you. The food is second to none, and all the ingredients always taste fresh. They’ve recently made some updates to decor and the menu and they’ve somehow been able to elevate somewhere that was already excellent. The coffee here is easily the best in Marlow, with a taste that can only come from well sourced, freshly roasted beans. This place is always my go to in Marlow, for breakfast, lunch or a quick stop off for coffee. It’s a must if you’re ever in the area!"

"We live in Marlow and have been to Sindhu a number of times, and previously enjoyed it. Not this time the food was good (not great) but the service was appalling. Way too rushed and unprofessional. We arrived at Sindhu around 7:45pm, expecting to have a pre dinner drink at the table. No chance! The first thing we were offered were popadums, then they took our drinks order. We opted for the wine pairing to go with the tasting menu. The total bill for two came to £325, but as this was our first night out together in months we were happy to pay this for a long evening with good food and drink. The first course came before we had finished the popadums, but it seemed to speed up from there. Th courses were small, but we were expecting that, but what we weren’t expecting was to be given the next course as soon as the previous one finished. Each wine was brought over with a very unenthusiastic rushed explanation of what it was. At one point we asked the waitress if we could delay the main course to give us chance to breathe between courses. She didn’t really understand what we were asking and stated that we had a palate cleaner before the main course. Which arrived immediately. Our meal was done by 9:45, 7 courses plus popadums all served in two hours, 15 minutes to eat a course and drink a glass of wine. We were the last table in the restaurant (there were only 6 tables altogether on a Friday night). When we left, the waiter already had his hoody on ready to leave, emphasising that the staff were just wanting to leave. At it was only 10pm! We won’t be returning. No way should this be considered Michelin starred food."

"We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional. The view of the Thames just outside the window was lovely. We opted for the tasting menu, which was delicious. However, I must admit that our tastes are more aligned with French and cosmopolitan cuisine, so we didn't fully appreciate all the flavor combinations. This is entirely due to our limited experience with Indian fine dining, and not a reflection on the restaurant's efforts—they executed everything perfectly! The lamb dish was exceptional, practically melting in the mouth. Overall, if you enjoy Indian cuisine and fine dining, you really can't go wrong here."

"We walked in and weren’t greeted for around 5 minutes, we then asked if we could order some breakfast at 10:45 AM, which the waitress replied ‘not sure, you only have 15 minutes’ even though the menus outside stated breakfast was served until 11:30. We then went back outside to decide what we wanted to order, and came back in and again weren’t greeted for a while, it seemed the staff were too busy wanting to chat as it was dead empty and no one else was there to be served. She then came round to the bar and took our order, I asked for a coffee and a pint of water with ice and lemon and then ordered some food. We paid and then the drinks arrived shortly outside which my coffee was then spilt all over the edge and then no water. 20 minutes later our breakfast arrived, missing half of the food and was given no cutlery which we had to then ask for. None of the staff seemed to check and ask how the food and drinks were and when giving us our drinks or food they didn’t even speak just slammed them down on the table. Very poor experience which is a shame as Marlow is such a lovely area. I would avoid this place and check out the other pubs that I’m sure have staff that are willing to serve you and not make it seem like a hassle when customers walk in. Will not be returning."

"Excellent setting, lovely clean restaurant, with friendly staff. We booked a table for 2 and had a nice table in a corner booth. It was the £19.17 set menu, which we didn't realise when we booked, but it was good value and they had a good selection of food. What we didn't realise was some of the meals had a supplement, which was on the menu but it was a bit dark and so small, we couldn't see this. So at the end of the night it wasn't really £19.17. I think if I had one complaint, this should have been explained to us when we were seated. Couldn't fault the food, it was excellent and there was a 1917 theme with a girl group singing the songs from that era, which was very good. The cocktails seemed popular. All in all good, but will take my reading glasses next time."
