The best restaurants in Aldenham East Hertsmere East of England

This cafe produces the best breakfast of any cafe in the area. I particularly like the Special Breakfast which is extremely good value and always perfectly cooked. The staff are very welcoming and the coffee is excellent.

Tim's table was far better than expected. Not rally sure what I expected - but in every respect it was better. Nice, modern feeling restaurant in terms of decor - not particularly a Chinese style, but then with a name like "Tims table" I wasn't expecting that either. The service was friendly, and swift. And the food was great, and fairly priced - I wouldn't say cheap - but not expensive. All the dishes came out hot, and tasty. The Bang Bang Chicken (actually a cold dish) was a favourite, as was the Smoked Chicken. The sizzling beef was delicious too, and came out with a full-on sizzle. The noodles ordered were tasty, but quite a small portion. The BBQ Spare Ribs dry - were tasty, if a bit dry - guess I should have expected that! Order a side of BBQ sauce or something if you can. The menu is extensive, with lots of things to try - we will definitely return, and sample some of the other dishes! If you are in or near Radlett, and fancy a nice Chinese meal - this is the place!!

On time delivery, polite delivery driver. Food was fresh and delicious, mixed kebab and falafel Kebab ordered, Extra pickled chilli peppers requested and received without a problem. This is my go to place for Kebabs and has never let me down. Highly recommended.

I knew the meal was going to be rubbish when we managed to park right outside the restaurant.We arrived at 8 pm and the large restaurant was only a third full ,not great for a Saturday night .The veg soup to start with was taseless with no seasoning as was most of the food offering . To follow was the veal in a mushroom sauce , I have had this dish all over the world and I have never had the veal cut up in to small little pieces.Again no seasoning and tough, I left most of it , and on top of all this you have to order the vegetables separately, the sauteed potatos (cut up roast potatoes) could have been flavoured with some onion or rosemary to give them some flavour and the zucchini fritta was the worst I have ever seen or tasted, great thick slices with the fried covering falling off. No way is the chef Italian, my Nonna must be turning in her grave what is passed off today as genuine Italian cuisine. The local area is pretty and genteel and it deserves an authentic Italian restaurant, this is not it

Tea was like dishwater. Not even boiling water. Food overpriced. Wet day and massive dog sat next to us and the smell of wet dog put us both off our rolls. Noise level very high. Usual one coffee WFH brigade blocking tables.

We went here as a large group and left feeling a bit disappointed. The service was not great, firstly it appeared they forgot about our booking as the table was not ready when we arrived, they then had to move some people around, they then also forgot about 1 persons main meal even though we had pre ordered. We were there for about 3 hours and only got asked for drinks once. We were then overcharged for the meal and we had to question it, which was not a smooth process and they didn't want to give the recipt straight away. On the plus side, the food was nice, just a shame about the service.

A massive thank you to all the team who provided an excellent service in making my mother-law 80th birthday a special evening. My family age range was 80 down to 2 and there was 26 of us. All the staff gave a 1st class service. The food was excellent and very affordable. Well done guys. 👏👏👏

Portion is small. I am not really enjoying the taste as well.

I was very sad, I didnt see Alex last time I went. Massive bummer, I expected to see Alex. Alex in previous reviews sounds like an absolute mug.

we been a few times but noticed sometimes the price of coffee changes,eg small americano hot milk £3 10 sometimes £3 40 admiited its only 30 p difference but y does the price change as we drink in.Also croissants eat in £2 80 out £ 2 95 if they change because of VAT in or out then your menu should be more explicit.

After waiting for 1 hour and 10 minutes for our food to arrive we had high expectations wrongly thinking that Paya would have been beavering away cooking our food from scratch. How disappointed we were. My wife ordered Peppercorn Salt Tofu and I had it with chicken. Both were re-fried and dried out layered in almost raw onions and carrots. I had the Chicken in Black Bean Sauce which was tasteless and gloopy, like they had just thickened a watery sauce with cornflower. My wife’s Szechuan Stir Fry Tofu was again tasteless and floating in almost raw vegetables as was her Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables. Now, I’m no Ken Hom but believe me I know how few ingredients go into making a takeaway Chow Mein Chicken. In my 60 years on this planet I had never had a bad Chow Mein until last night. Raw carrots, raw onions, tasteless and a pointless game of spot the chicken. My Pork Ribs in Sweet Peking Sauce were small, bite size lumps of gristle that resembled ribs in the same way a pebble resembles the white cliffs of Dover. In fact the only two edible items on our £70+ bill were the Crispy Vegetable Rolls and the Egg Fried Rice. In the past we’ve always received a bag of prawn crackers but not this time. We have been ordering from Paya for almost 10 years but will never do so again.
