Marco Polo

Marco Polo
4.3 / 5 (1676 reviews)

Description

Nestled in Wickford, Marco's boasts a reputation for outstanding Indian cuisine, with many diners praising its delicious dishes and friendly service. However, a tangible divide in experiences persists, as some patrons report instances of rude, inattentive staff and subpar takeaway meals. Mixed reviews highlight issues such as unwelcoming attitudes, particularly concerning service during busy hours. While regulars appreciate the impeccable service from certain staff members and the reasonable pricing, the inconsistent experiences leave some questioning their loyalty. For a dining experience focused on great food, Marco's may be worth a visit, but be prepared for potential service shortcomings.

The Marco Polo really pulled out all the stops for us after another venue let us down for a birthday meal for my husband which was booked back in April. At very short notice the Marco Polo accommodated 17 guests and even helped with decorating the cake and decorating the table. The service was fantastic for such a large table and we were all amazed that the food was brought out at the same time, hot and delicious. The food is always fabulous no matter what you order and our guests all agreed. The staff were friendly, looked after us all, were helpful and kept the drinks flowing! Just gutted that I forgot to take a bag home for breakfast the next day :o) We had such a great night with our friends, thank you all so much! Cannot recommend this Indian restaurant enough.

Been going to Marco for years and every time we have gone, as a couple, with friends or family, the food and service just doesn't disappoint. Prices are good (although poppadoms and sides pricey at £7.90 for 4) . Was a tad loud last night but it was a Friday eve and bring in Wickford too it was expected, but it didn't spoil the food.. Would happily recommend and attend again!
