“I enjoyed a lovely lunch with a friend today at M Bar & Kitchen. I ordered the Club Sandwich (& chips!) and WOW! Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. As it is located within a residential village, not many people realise it is actually open to the general public for brunch, lunch and dinner. (As someone who eats Gluten Free, my needs were catered for really well and I was reassured about the ingredients in the dish and the preparation process.)”

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

“Pleasantly surprised by the food, great taste, quality at a very reasonable price. It is more of a fast food place than a sit in restaurant, take away drivers walking too and fro. Perfect for spending my expenses.”

“What a lovely little restaurant with lovely authentic food. Thank you to Iglé (sorry if I spelt your name wrong) for squeezing us in and being the best waiter. Really loved the food and drinks, and all for a good price. Will be visiting again.”

“Great little place, very authentic, reasonable price. Prawns are proper big ones and tasted fresh. Noodles got alot of flavours, slightly on spicy side but can ask to reduce.”

“Definitely our favourite pizza for miles around and the service is amazing too. We ordered through Just Eat but the app was behaving strangely so we phoned the restaurant. They confirmed our order was ready but no delivery driver had shown up after waiting a few minutes longer we ended up going to collect the order ourselves and they gave us some free brownies by way of apology!”

“Always top quality fish and chips. Generous portions and fresh products. Reasonably priced. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Can’t recommend enough. The best chippy around”

“I really enjoyed eating out here, fantastic food which left me craving for more, extremely family friendly and all the staff members are proactive. Tasty food and great customer service with amazing value for money. Our surver Emon was also great at explaining our food gave speedy and comfortable service. He is a great asset to the team along side the management staff.”

“Excellent Italian Restaurant in Watford! This is a fantastic Italian restaurant with delicious food, generous portions, and great value. The flavors are authentic, and every dish is well-prepared. Service is very efficient, even during busy lunchtime hours. The fact that it’s always packed shows how popular it is with locals—I believe it’s a well-renowned spot in the area. Located in a very convenient spot in Watford, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for quality Italian cuisine. Highly recommended!”

“We were 4 people and each had different meals, and we all agreed that the food was excellent, with a large menu. The portions were large, very tasty, and very good value for money. The food was all freshly made. The music was pleasant Indian music, at a reasonable volume. If you want a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, I highly recommend.”

“Got a Tandoori Afghan special Extra large pizza, let me tell you it was the best thing crust pizza ever with some chilli and burger sauce. The pepperoni was also a great Pizza. Nice clean shop, good sitting area. Would recommend it always. Great lunch.”

“We had a large family gathering planned, and the staff here couldn't have been more helpful, from helping us decide what menu items to have, arranging a set price per head, attentive service and plenty of delicious food. We had a lovely afternoon, thank you so much to the staff. Highly recommend.”

“We had a wonderful meal there at the weekend, I have been back many times now for special occasions and every person I take acquires a love for the food and atmosphere/experience too. Would highly recommend for an evening out!”

“Authentic Flavors and Great Value, But Service Needs Polish I recently dined at a local Pakistani restaurant in Watford and walked away thoroughly impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food. If you're searching for genuine subcontinental cuisine, this place truly delivers. The cooking here is genuinely delicious, carrying a depth of flavor that speaks to true authenticity. A major highlight of the meal was the naan bread; it arrived at the table piping hot and incredibly fresh—clearly baked moments before. Beyond the flavor, the value is exceptional. The portions are generous, meaning you get a satisfying, hearty meal without breaking the bank. Everything on the menu felt reasonably priced given the quality and size of what we received, making it a fantastic option for a weeknight dinner or a larger family gathering. The only small drawback was the service experience. While every member of the team we interacted with was polite and friendly, the staff generally need to be a bit more attentive. We often found ourselves waiting or having to flag someone down for things like drinks refills or clearing plates. Improving this small aspect of table service would elevate the dining experience significantly. Verdict: Highly recommended for food lovers and those who appreciate great value. The delicious, authentic meals and fresh naan make it a must-try; just be prepared to signal for service when you need it!”

“Lovely pub, lovely waitstaff and a brilliant new manager Noah. Food is great, great range and prices. Facilities are really nice, pool table and lovely garden. 100% would recommend”

“Been driving past this place and meaning to stop here for a while. Saturday was finally the day! The food was fabulous! I'm looking forward to eating my way through the menu. All kebabs shops in Watford better take note. The Greek Pitta has fresh, tasty, well portioned, delicious food. Well done guys. Keep up the good work 10/10, Don't drop your standards! As the Terminator said "I'll be back"!”

“Pretty much ever since this place opened we've been meaning to visit and just never really got round to it. Recently we popped in for a quick lunch during some christmas shopping and my main take home is how annoyed I was at waiting so long to visit! We had a bao and dirty fries meal (with a drink) each - both less than a tenner each and so so good. The bao were fluffy with clearly freshly made ingredients (i had the short rib and my partner the fried chicken), both with portions of dirty fries (i had katsu and she had the vietnamese). The portions of fries alone would have made a meal and were so good. If you want fantastic food, freshly cooked and served quickly, at reasonable prices then I can't recommend this place more. My partner said she was really disappointed that we don't live local enough for somewhere like this to be available on a delivery app. Personally i was quite glad it wasn't close enough as i think we'd end up ordering from them several times a week1”

“When I have Chinese I mainly order the Singapore noodles and it was lovely from here, quick service and very nice food”
