The best restaurants in Hertsmere East of England

No working toilets, bad rude service, terrible over priced food. Had my worst restaurant experience here.

When you sit in it is generally good. Takeaway doesn’t travel very well sadly. Wish they could sort this out as when you sit in the food is very good.

Massively disappointed in both of our orders- chicken was minimal in one wrap and I ordered extra halloumi in the other to find there was 2 SMALL chunks of under cooked (if at all) in the whole thing. Both wraps were soooo bland and overpriced - just completely tasteless. It was our first and last time of ordering from there unfortunately. Wouldn’t recommend.

Food not particularly good and the free childs food offered with adult order wouldn't be enough to feed a mouse. Just 3 small items.

I order food for me and my child and the pizza was uncooked and cold. Called up and the manager was so rude. Stay away from this place

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.

I ordered a foot long Italian with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo. Given a tiny amount of lettuce and two slices of tomato, had to ask for more tomato and was given an extra slice!. Ridiculous for nearly £7 with no extra's.

The workers are great here! Thank you very much. ☺️

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.

Tonight we had a night out with my colleges finally and we were so happy going out after 12 hours shift. We were about qp of us and met just after 8 pm (after shift) one of my colleagues haven't had a chance to grab some food and got 2 glass of cider at the pub when she suddenly felt sick and gone to the toilet to easy herself up. We were all cool and enjoying our night without being loud or making any issues. When my colleague came back from the toilet the pub manager came to us and loudly told my colleague off and to go home immediately. Honestly I felt so bad and didn't really get why someone needs to go home after throwing up IN THE TOILET. Tryed to talk to the manager lady but she kept telling her to leave. Myself I didn't feel all this act was right and felt that I don't wanna go back anymore because if u feel sick they just chuck you out without even asking you if you are ok.. I'm really disappointed!!!! We are in the pub drinking their drinks and once u get sick you have to leave?? What kind of treatment is it?? We have been to the pub many times but never had this treatment and also have to meantion we left lots of many there drinking.. Truly disappointed! To the lady who is the 'pub manager' would like to ask to be more human next time and stop acting inasent.. I believe this place used to have an other management team but after renovating things has changed.. WRONG DECISION!

I ordered megabox and got burned and oily chicken. I took it back and they’re give me this the one in the picture which was the same as the one we took back. So disappointed

Probably the worst food I have ever been served

Went to drive through had to repeat order three time when got to the pay window they have my order paid for it got to pick up window told us to go to car park the order was simple nowhere to park in car park after minutes went to enquire the whole place was a disaster area
