Unique culinary experiences in Watford

“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.”

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

“Food is good as usual, Jaya was amazing, very attentive lady. Their mayo is now plant based? Taste like nothing so I ordered their garlic mayo. Meal saved lol”

“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”

“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”

“A great local cafe run by volunteers for the benefit of the community.”

“Always fast and good quality . Amazing food cooked to perfection no matter what your choice is. Friendly service from the lovely come dine with us makes it all the better . Best burger van in the area . Infact I’ve been up and down the country and this is imo the best burger van around . Can’t be beaten .”

“I had my worktops fitted yeaterday and I’m over the moon with them. When I was looking for worktops, Mo was generous with his time and expertise in his showroom in Watford, and advised me not only only the worktops themselves but gave me advice about my kitchen renovation in general, as I’ve put it in myself. He arranged a template appointment for me which was carried out by a very knowledgable and helpful professional, and the fitting team who came two weeks later were equally as impressive. They listened to me, and patiently waited while I frantically made last minute changes to the shape of one of the rows of cabinets (completely my fault) and kindly and carefully accommodated those changes without any issues. The quality of the work was exceptional and the manner in which they carried it out was admirably conscientious. An entirely stress free experience from start to finish. Cheers Mo!”

“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.”

“Nice local Asian place. I’ve variety on the menu, food is decent, we enjoyed it for lunch, if you are in Watford this is a great option away for the busy center with easy parking”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I was there with my cousins in law who live in Watford and the staff has been nice to everyone with special fresh food. Will be back again one day”

“This is for Nandos at the mall in WATFORD junction. The employees are very alert and welcoming as soon as you open the door. They are very organized and you can order your food by scanning a bar code or you can still do it the old way by going to the till. The fries are second to none. I enjoyed my food and I was full. I have been to this restaurant each time I am in the UK. Check it out”

“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!”

“A lovely Indian restaurant with amazing food and wonderful staff. Every dish is full of flavor, and the service makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend for a great meal!”

“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”

“Make sure you visit when in Watford! Fantastic food. Meat wonderfully seasoned. Lovely atmosphere with great music. Fantastic hosts! We will return and recommend ”

“Stepping into this restaurant feels like stepping into a cozy corner of Eastern Europe — every wall is alive with culture, from embroidered fabrics and musical instruments to rustic crafts that tell a story of heritage and pride. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to slow down and savour a hearty meal. But the real highlight is the papanași, a traditional Romanian dessert that completely stole the show.”

“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”

“Been here today friendly staff and excellent fish and chips.”

“Eleven of us had lunch today for a 70th Birthday it was excellent in every way. Back again in May for another birthday lunch.”

“Very friendly staff, good choice of items,will use again”

“Splendid food, very efficient and fast delivery. The food arrived fresh and beautifully packed to protect the delicate items. Great communication and very good choice and variety of delicacies for sale on the website. The mouth watering "Nocciolato" is "a must for chocolate lovers". Well done.”

“First visit definitely not my last... I would highly recommend Chi street food. A pleasure on the taste buds. Excellent service from the young Man, followed his recommendations, what a treat. Thank you.”

“Warm and welcoming vegetarian café in a serene setting Radharani’s Café offers a peaceful, simple dining experience with wholesome vegetarian meals and treats. The setting is calm—a perfect spot to relax after exploring the gardens or temple grounds. Staff are genuine, helpful, and serve food with care. Ideal for a light lunch or refreshing chai in between visits.”
