Local chef in Watford

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

“My stay for 2 nights here was lovely. They room was spacious and had all the basic amemities including a Nespresso machine. The only let down in my opinion was the size of the bathroom which was tiny. The staff at reception as well as the restaurant are amazing and genuinely care of the guests.”

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

“Having travelled from leicester, Food here is brilliant! Lovely burger and wings. Marinated to perfection”

“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”

“I bought sausage rolls and hot chocolate. The sausage roll was delicious. It’s the quickest breakfast and trustable before catching train to my office throughout the year.”

“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.)”

“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 :)”

“Had the most amazing 28th birthday meal at Jumpin Jacks Watford! Best service with smiles, attention to detail, amazing quality authentic food!

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

“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.”

“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.”

“This place was 10/10, I did not order in store but I ordered from Deliveroo and I had to come and leave another review. This is the tastiest Caribbean food that I’ve had in Watford and I’ve lived here for 20 years. In fact, it’s probably the best I’ve had anywhere in years. The flavours were amazing, you can tell the jerk chicken came straight off the jerk pan, it was so flavourful, the rice and peas was rich in coconut, the macaroni could’ve had a bit more flavour, but when you eat everything together, you can’t even notice. The portion size was massive, it could easily feed two people. I also got a Jamaican dumpling on the side and it was so, so good, it was soft, sweet, and pillowy. I will recommend this place to everyone if you want a good Caribbean dish.”

“We had breakfast and went back for lunch... The place was really clean, food was amazing!!!!!! Service was really really really nice....!!! Highly recommend!!!”

“Excellent food! We ordered really late after a long day at work and the food was so fresh, warm and flavorful when it arrived. New favourite place!”

“Thank God there is finally a beautiful & healthy place to work and eat in Watford! The food is delicious, wholesome and nourishing. The staff are kind and attentive. The space is stylish and brilliantly conceived. Better than any of the other places in the area by a long shot - and there's a fabulous yoga studio attached to boot. What more could you want?”

“Was recommended to come here for dinner, and I’m so glad I did. From start to finish, was such an experience. Met with a professional team, that care about their work, clearly trained to a high standard. Food allergies and care were taken very seriously, on top of there being many options should you have allergies. Amazing food to top it off. Highly recommend to you all. We traveled 45minutes and will definitely make that travel again.”

“Some lovely and great tasting food with a wide variety of delicious drinks and a nice inside relaxed decoration and also some very spicy dishes. Great Korean food. Highly recommend going”

“I really enjoyed everything about this place. They have different style rooms depending on where you prefer to eat. I ordered the goats cheese and beetroot as the starter which was fantastic. I got the side of the tomato beef ragu pasta which was amazing but exactly the right size for my small appetite that day - they also brought a whole bowl of Parmesan for me to help myself. For dessert I ordered the brownie and doughballs with Nutella which came with icecream. I personally was not a fan of the brownie or the ice cream I wish there had been the option to just have a bowl of the doughballs as I had seen in other reviews as these were amazing. The tables were quite close together and it was really quite loud. I hope they invest in some sound absorbing panels. I would recommend and will be coming back. I have been again since and the pasta was still fantastic. We also ordered the mushroom risotto however this was lacking a bit of flavour, the walnuts were a nice touch. I do have to say the staff are fantastic about making adaptions to meals to intolerances.”

“We had breakfast here before visiting Harry Potter Studios and had a friendly welcome, great value good food and the best coffee I have had in a cafe ever. Honestly, I wish I didn't live 100miles away!”

“Amazing little breakfast place lovely customer service and amazing fresh food would highly recommend if your in the area Would definitely be visiting here again”

“Always a warm welcome and briliantl food. Tuesday night for the deal (Starter, main, veg, rice or nan) is great value”

“I always come and eat here every weekend , the staff are really friendly and their food is really great and really good portions , and when I was about to write this review I saw a review a “customer”saying they have 3/5 food rating which I didn’t believe because the store looks really clean and tidy even on a weekend after I saw their 5 star sticker so don’t believe the lies guys”

“Having had some disappointing takeaways recently, I wanted to try somewhere different. Positive reviews encouraged me to try Leavesden Tandoori. Was not disappointed. Good portion sizes and tasty food. Will use this takeaway again in the near future.”

“Great Portuguese Bar & Restaurant. Family environment and the food are amazing, far from home, but feel like home to me. Recommended”

“Wow best bqq sauce I’ve ever had everything was delicious”

“Argyle "on tour". Our first away match in The Championship for 13yrs!! And what a fitting place to start in this pub. We were made very welcome and with a mixture of home and away fans and good friendly banter it was all enhanced by TV screens watching " The Arsenal " ( not a favourite team for the locals !! ) and England women. London Pride was the order of the day and the Landlord invited us to eat our fish and chips bought across the road, in the pub. Nice touch Boss !! Just less than a mile from Watford Junction station it was perfectly placed after our 0700 train from Plymouth. And we got a creditable draw against the home team.....excellent day all round!!”

“Best indian I've had in a really long time. We came in late after traveling from the city and ended up missing majority of the open restaurants, but POB was open and absolutely delicious! The owner was lovely and had great conversation, it was definitely worth eating there.”

“Popped in for lunch and ordered the Mexican burger, it was delicious. Will back again soon”

“Food was great, good sizes and Alli was helpful.”
