The best restaurants in Watford East of England

The cook made us a wonderful fish with his own recipe. Such a lovely service and the cook made us feel very welcomed .

We have had a takeaway through most of lockdown to present day and have enjoyed everyone. We normally stick with the same items, chicken curry, special fried rice, ribs or sweet and sour chicken balls or prawn satay. Never been disappointed as we have been at other local Chinese Takeaways. Chicken is always breast not scrag end and rice is fluffy and quite a generous portion. Not sure if they changed chef tonight, but chicken curry sauce was different but much improved 👌

Lal Bagh used to be great - now with new owners I was able to have the worst experience! A simple family evening out with my wife and two young kids. We have been coming to this restaurant for at least 8 years, since we moved to Bushey. I has changed hands, I think post pandemic. There used to be really friendly staff their who cared about their customers and quality of the food. In my opinion this is no longer the case. On this occasion there there were two, maybe three young people running the restaurant. Two were on laptops at the front the the dining area. We ordered drinks and food. To cover the food - mediocre at best. Popadoms were not fresh. This is where it does wrong. My wife had ordered a diet coke. When it came it was flat. No waiting staff coming to our table so she asked the two, on the laptops, about the flat coke. She was rudely told that they had just opened the bottle to it could not be flat. Totally dismissed the matter. We finished our food and got the bill. I went to the front to pay. I explained to the the lady member of staff who had come away from her laptop to take payment that I thought if was awful the way they had treated my wife. The other chap got up from his laptop and stood next to me starring at me, quiet menacingly. I asked why he was doing this and the lady said he was looking after her safety. I asked if I was being rude or threatening. She said I was not. Yet he continued to stare at me as if preparing for a fight. I will of course never go back to a restaurant which I have probably spent many hundreds of pounds over the years. All over a small glass of coke that they could not be bothered to deal with. If the bottle cost £1 they would have had to deal with 30p worth. Amazing. Will not recommend and suggest anyone thinks twice about going here.

Just got the spicy chicken wings at XFC in Market Street Watford and all I can say is they are the best in town. Also got the piri piri chicken and it is AMAZING, waited for half an hour because it is done there fresh for you and it is worth the wait. They have got a Good variety on the menu offering a great value for money. Will definitely buy from them again.

Unqualified staff, very bad service. Unwelcoming restaurant, I do not recommend, a very bad experience. There will definitely not be another visit to this restaurant

Ordered a large boneless meal and got a regular with a dip I didn’t ask for and didn’t get the one I did ask for. The food was hot but the chips were mushy and the Pepsi very watery

Incredible place beautiful atmosphere great service

Polite staff, but really bad food. Rat burger levels

Absolutely disgusting - 0/5 food hygiene rating given by environmental health. The lowest score you can possibly get. If you value your health DO NOT order from this filthy establishment. They should be shut down!!

Food took over a hour to arrive. Delivery time kept going up, was originally 7:45-8, arrived at 9

Extremely poor customer service. Waiting at the counter for more than 5-min. No staff is at the cashier. Probably a shortage of staff. Every one of them are busy making coffees. Understand the situation but it is a frustration moment from a customer point of view.

rude staff, order online, after 25mins they will cancel and when you call asking why it was cancelled, they say address is to far even though it's between 10-13 mins drive and get told if I want the pizza so bad I should just collect it

One of our burgers wasn’t that one I order it

Ordered a cheese burger. This did take some time to arrive from ordering. The burger was pathetic, cheese slice looked like it had been cut with a laser and was congealed on the burger ( was on life support ), which tasted weird, and I wonder if it was some plant based effort. The chips came in a small wire basket, and would just about fill your palm. The seating is canteen / school hall style and not at all welcoming. There was a guy sweeping the floor who looked utterly uninterested in what he was doing, coupled with a negative atmosphere it was all a bit solemn ! Potential for a truly unique meet up diner / hang out experience is gone.

The food was fresh and I loved the service it was pretty quick. The manager of the store was very kind.
