“The stonebaked pizza base is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with that authentic pizzeria taste. Every bite was full of fresh ingredients and bold, satisfying flavor. Easily one of the best pizzas I’ve had! Highly recommend if you’re craving something truly delicious!”

“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”

“Took my mum there for her 79th...she loved it! Excellent choice of dishes, authentic, tasty and generous portions. Thanks to Nabil for looking after us.”

“The food here is absolutely amazing and authentic to the true flavors of Northern India ❤️. Cannot go wrong with the staples: hot masala chai, papadums, garlic naan, bombay mix, butter chicken and lamb Biriyani. Food took a little long to arrive to table, but it was well worth the wait! Our server is named Freya and was very friendly! Highly recommend if in the Watford area.”

“Absolutely amazing! The food tasted incredible — fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. Definitely one of the best pizzas I’ve had in Watford. Highly recommend!”

“During our trip to Watford to visit the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio, we discovered this restaurant completely by chance. For our arrival lunch, the four of us had an absolutely delightful meal. Both the children and the adults loved every dish. The food was exquisite, and we received a very warm welcome. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to return for dinner the following evening before the end of our stay, and we were just as impressed with the other dishes we tried. The quality of the food is superb, and the service is excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area! Christine , Nathalie & kids”

“Their burgers are just the best. Great quality British beef, cooked perfectly. Menu has a good choice of sides and drinks. If you're really hungry and you double up your patty. Always a treat.”

“Got some food on the way home for the first time tonight and it has to be the best piri piri chicken we have ever had. The meals were all 10/10, fresh and tender chicken strips, wings and burger. Portions are huge and great value for money just wish we lived closer to this place!”

“Visited today for my mums birthday - we booked last minute after a change of plans. We had 3 courses and every single one was delicious. Highly recommend the Sunday roast and the sticky toffee! The service was great - special thanks to the two young guys (I didn’t catch their names but a really young lad and the barman with plaits) for looking after us. We will be back!”

“Amazing street food menu - £20 for 5 small plates of street food. Menu changes and is inspired by places in India. Food is incredible. The rum old fashioned was delicious! Will be coming back :) staff are also friendly and welcoming.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting Burritos Watford recently. The mexican tottilla wrap were absolutely mouthwatering—the Chicken was juicy and packed with flavour, and the combination of toppings was perfect. It's definitely one of the best burritos I’ve had in a while! I also tried the mexican rice, which are something truly special. The way they’ve put it all together is unique and unlike anything I've had before. It's a must-try for anyone looking for something different and tasty! A big shoutout to udaya for her amazing customer service. She made the experience even more enjoyable with her friendly and helpful attitude. It’s not every day you come across someone so dedicated to making sure you have the best dining experience. Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5”

“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.”

“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.”

“We celebrated my friend’s birthday at Ganesha, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy, the staff were attentive, and the food was delicious. They made the celebration feel special, and we all left happy and full. Highly recommend for any occasion!”

“Just moved to the area and this place has became my regular pizza place it’s really good with fresh flavours. Come here nearly every week. Definitely a place I would recommend”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“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!!”

“This is a great place to get sushi - the conveyor belt is fun but also if you can’t find what you want on it, you’re able to order other items from the menu. The staff are nice and friendly and the only real issue is that it can get a bit busy/crowded on weekends so it isn’t always possible to get the waiter’s attention sometimes. I don’t really blame them because it’s a really busy place and the quality of the sushi is great. It’s definitely worth it for the price and the food is pretty filling. The variety of salmon sushi made me happy and the cheesecake dessert is also quite good. Prawn crackers are tasty as well. Sometimes if you order non sushi items, it can take awhile to get your food (my friend had to wait for almost 30 minutes which wasn’t good but I could see the chefs were very busy!).”

“Nice Harvester with plenty of space for a wheelchair. Good food at affordable prices. The disabled access toilet was a little on the chilly side for mum but she survived. Our host Tanya was charming and accommodating. Will come again.”

“Lovely Indian restaurant with ample parking. They have a decent bar and huge seating area. Food was amazing and they have much choices for your taste buds. Some items on the menu are little pricey, however they are large portions. So, its worth for sharing and families. Service was great and we got our items super quickly. Definitely come back again.”

“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!”

“The food at YO Sushi in Tesco is really good. Always go to get the Korean chicken bites, Korean bites with salad, and the katsu curry. Averages around £6 a meal which isn’t too bad. Would really recommend trying. If you need anything the staff there are always on hand to assist with and queries”

“"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."”
