"Like shoe designing, whipping up a great dish is an art", says Jimmy Choo who has ventured into the world of food with Maximini, an oriental restaurant near Hyde Park where the celebrity shoe smith is bringing a slice of his Malaysian home to Britain. As beautifully dressed as any of Jimmy's A-list clients, Maximini is simplistic and chic with a hint of old fashioned colonial style which perfectly suits it's fabulous Bayswater address.
The irresistible Malaysian dishes are fused with more familiar Chinese flavours by master chef Albert Koh, to produce an innovative and exciting menu which, like a timeless pair of heels, looks set to become this season's must-have.
We look forward to welcoming you at Maximini Chinese Restaurant.

    Not enough servers. They move so fast that you feel rushed asking questions. There prep area is in middle of restaurant and they are so loud. Fried rice was over cooked Chicken fried noodles was ok Chicken dumplings and sweet & sour chicken were the beat
    Maximini Chinese RestaurantResponded on December 11, 2024
    Thank you Lindsay for the feedback, we are sorry the experience overall was not satisfactory, it can be overwhelming for waiting staff on very busy shifts, the prep area is in the bar which is close proximity to nearby tables and noise is inevitable but we are working on it. Thank you again for your custom we hope to see you in 2025

    We enjoyed a wonderful meal for my wife’s birthday. Booking via the app was a little confusing initially but there were no problems getting a table. It was a busy night - there were 2 large parties going on at the time, but the staff were attentive and the wait for food was minimal. Gorgeous food; hot, tasty and good portion sizes.
