Cozy dining experiences in Watford

“I always enjoy my coffee here. The coffee is excellent, the staff are amazing, and Georgie is a lovely person with a positive attitude who creates beautiful coffee art.”

“We went on a Friday night for our Anniversary, the weather had been great but we sat inside and it was nice and cool. There was a DJ playing old skool RnB which was a nice touch. The staff were super friendly and we met the owner, who was really lovely and very passionate about the food. The croquette were amazing and very authentic, we also had tacos to start which were delicious. The tiramisu ( which I’m always a big fan of as a dessert) came with a Japanese twist but was inspired and also really delicious. A great spot and well worth checking out for an intimate meal, big party or even a family dinner.”

“This joint is amazing!! Went in with the Fam and the door was banging! My fave was the samosas. Crispiness - Perfect, generous stuffing, creative Dips - awesome presentation. Great food, Dope customer service. Highly recommend”

“Great taste, operated by japanese. We had a happy lunch here.”

“Service was the best I’ve had. Very quick, always keeping an eye on our drinks throughout the brunch. Can’t fault them at all, food was tasty too, would highly recommend. The only thing they’re missing is entertainment.”

“Veera was super helpful in our sofa buying process. He explained the different options and the advantages of certain choices really well. We felt like we could trust Veera and he was super friendly as well. We are very excited to receive our new sofa soon, and are super happy with our purchase. Thanks!”

“Staff amazing, they went to the top to ensure you was happy with everything, even cooked a cheese omelette for me as spices upset my stomacg”

“Great looking furniture and kitchen fittings for reasonable prices”

“Extremely good customer service. Rahul very friendly and accommodating. The Pizza was made in a clean manor and tastes amazing”

“We had a great stay at Premier Inn Watford North! The location is perfect—only about a 10-minute Uber ride to Harry Potter World. The service was excellent, and a big shoutout to Michael, our server, who was amazing with our two older girls and really made us feel welcome. Highly recommend this place for families visiting the studios!”

“Very quiet property, safe and secure and amazing location. My husband and l have been staying for over a month and are really pleased we chose to stay here. Very close to the train station, Sainsbury’s, and the Shopping Centre is just round the corner too. Lots of lovely cafes and shops nearby , as well as great value for money , extremely helpful staff; Katie is such a great host and Jamie is always happy to help! I would highly recommend this property. Thank you Katie and Jamie!!”

“Amazing pizzas! We used to live in Watford and order from Bazil all the time. We moved out of the area, but was passing by today. Never sat in before, but we did just now. Really lovely customer service, reasonably priced and amazing pizzas! Best in Watford? I think so!”

“"Exquisite flavors danced on my taste buds, leaving me craving more. Each bite was a tantalizing journey of culinary artistry." "Their attention to detail and impeccable presentation elevated the dining experience to new heights, making every dish a delightful masterpiece."”

“Go here a few times a week to mainly grab a chicken katsu salad which is 10/10. Sometimes have other food like sweet and sour chicken or katsu curry. Food is always very good and service is normally also perfect. Although lately have noticed service to be getting a little slower. Was waiting to be served for nearly 10 minutes whilst Deliveroo drivers coming in after me were getting served straight away. That just needs improving”

“Owner and staff are all friendly, menu is well priced and chips are consistently exquisite! Even my cats try to steal them off my plate! 10/10 I have been a returning customer for over 4 years”

“As always, fresh ingredients, delicious taste with super fast delivery. Never been let down in the past 5 years. Good job guys.”

“Toni's a true authentic greek experience Ordered from here a couple of times via deliveroo and just eat. Always get the boxed portions and the club sandwich, and the food is incredible. Taste amazing and the portion size is huge. Exceptional quality and I highly recommend ordering/ visiting if possible. 5 stars out of 5 :)”

“Our bed has been delivered on time and the assembly was very straight forward. So far very happy with the purchase. Perfect colour as per samples provided. Love it and highly recommend the shop.”

“Great vibe in place well decorated and service staff very good and helpful. As for the food 10/10. We drove from ipswich to meet some london family half way and it was a very nice afternoon in restaurant.”

“Stopped here on the way back to our hotel and chose the pasta dishes. The portion sizes were huge and very well priced. The staff were very friendly and chatty. We even got given a free garlic bread to have with our pasta. Great service!”

“Absolutely fantastic food, really good service and incredibly well priced Definitely will be visiting again soon!”

“Perch & Co. near Croxley station is an absolute gem! The rustic vibe of the café immediately makes you feel at home, with its warm, cozy atmosphere and charming decor. The food is exceptional, made with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. Their menu offers a great variety, catering to all tastes, from hearty breakfast options to delicious lunch specials. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about their customers. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or settling in for a leisurely meal, Perch & Co. never disappoints. Highly recommended!”

“I always have a relaxing time at Villiers. This is a cozy and laidback café, with a lot of different treats on offer that cater to a variety of diets. There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I was very appreciative that I could choose between a few flourless snacks. I’ve had the flapjack, the cheesecake, and the salted caramel brownie, all of which I enjoyed. Shoutout to the barista Anna, who always ensures that the gluten free goodies I get are handled safely so I can enjoy them without getting a reaction! The coffee is very good, and I can't complain when there's nice latte art. I don’t love that the latte is served in a glass instead of a mug, but that's more of a preference than a comment on the quality. It tastes great regardless! In short: very nice and recommend!”

“I had a wonderful brunch experience at The Garden Rooms. Christina, our server, was friendly and efficient, making our visit even more enjoyable. The smashed avocado on sourdough and huevos rancheros were both incredibly tasty and satisfying. The atmosphere was pleasant, with great background music and lovely green decor that added to the ambiance. I highly recommend this place for a delightful brunch outing.”

“Great service and very good food. Try the loaded chips... With meatballs sauce and mince... Melted cheese. Also try the Kumpir megameat with buffalo sauce and sweet chilli. You will definitely not go anywhere else... Love this place.”

“Hanako Brings Japan to Watford When I was looking for authentic Japanese food nearby, a few restaurants came up. But Hanako immediately caught my attention. Just from the Google review photos of their sushi and sashimi, I could see the craftsmanship. The presentation looked simple and neat, not overly decorated, but refined in a way that reminded me of true Japanese style. My Japanese friend and I were so excited that we arrived before the restaurant opened. The owner kindly let us in early, which was already such a warm welcome. Inside, the atmosphere was cozy and felt just like a small restaurant in Japan. The menu was easy to understand with clear English, and allergy information was clearly shown. On top of that, the owner kindly explained some of the dishes to us as well. I ordered the nabe udon and a sashimi sushi set. My friend had the shoyu ramen. The portion sizes were quite big for us, but because everything tasted so good, we finished it all. The flavors were very authentic but also easy to enjoy for people who may not be familiar with Japanese food. If I had to describe it in Japanese, I would say it has a 優しい味, meaning a gentle and comforting taste. We had a lovely chat with the owner. She told us that the tuna sashimi is 本マグロ, which is bluefin tuna imported from Japan. That truly impressed us, and you could taste the quality. Everything felt so fresh and nourishing. What surprised me even more is that Hanako has been open for 23 years. That’s nearly the same age as me. It made me think about how Japanese food wasn’t very common in the UK back then. I can only imagine how much this restaurant has gone through over the years to continue sharing this kind of food with the community. I wrote this review to share my appreciation for the food and people at Hanako. If you’re reading the menu outside and not sure whether to go in, I really recommend you try it. This place is a hidden gem.”

“No fuss, quick and fantastic! Not oily or greasy, fresh and no fuss! Even the avocado was a good portion. Mushrooms not greasy. Good choice of vegetarian items too.”

“grabbed a coffee here this morning, the best coffee I have had in a long time and I could not believe how cheap it was. £0.90p for a fresh flat white.”
