Chandini Indian in East Hertfordshire

Great evening with very tasty food enjoying the company of good work colleague for dinner.

I have ordered online MAIN DISH chicken tikka and chicken Jalfrezi and ,,I ended up with only sauce ,nothing additionally no rice, nothing! just sauce.. that's it . I wouldn't recommend

This was the first time I have been here. The staff were polite and friendly and the takeaway food was amazing. I will be back.

Lovely place to eat & the food is great. We now get takeaways from them.

Good food, good atmosphere, but the table service was a bit poor.

Great takeaway - We ordered Chandinis for the first time, decided to call and place our order due to allegies in the group order, this was obviously the best practise as the server was able to advise per dish what could be adjusted to accommodate. We had butter chicken, chicken madras, korma, onion bhajis, garlic nanns, rices and saags etc, star of the show for me was the mushroom rice, it was probably the best i have had from an indian takeout! Collection was quick and easy, and we got a text in advance showing the total bill and option to pre pay before collecting, which i thought was a nice touch! Clear and transparent. Would 100% use again, and maybe next time try a dine in, restaurant looked great. Thanks again

Absolutely fantastic! Consistently outstanding! My favourite curry restaurant!

Always a great curry Quality chicken

Lovely atmosphere, great service and fantastic food. We had a great time on our first visit here and will definitely go again. I like mildly spicy food and chose my starter and main course accordingly but the spices were used so well in both - the food was tasty and the spice flavours came through without being overly hot. A really delicious meal. Service was efficient and friendly.

Dinner is always very nice and I appreciate we are a big group of men but some acknowledgement when bringing anything over would have been nice. But as I say the food is lovely and we had plenty of different dishes

Ordered a takeaway for 7:30. Arrived bang on time, and I live nearly 20 minutes away. Food was piping hot, and absolutely delicious. I am a repeat customer and will continue to be. Dynamite king prawns and chicken dansak are our favourite dishes- fully recommend

A party of 13 went to your restaurant on sat 6th April and from the start of our experience with you. Drinks orders were wrong starters were given to the wrong people we waited over an hour for our meals two of our good friends left because the Chao's with drinks and food orders and time issues my wife and I eventually got our meals and they were Luke warm and we sent them back.other diner's were getting there meals before us . It was a very special occasion as our Very close friends had just got married the day before and your restaurant was recommended so well done to you and your staff for a memorable evening for ALL THE WRONG REASONS .

Serve you drinks you haven’t ordered. This happened twice. Ordered alcohol free Peroni, they pour one bottle into a pint glass and leave another on the side. They charge for both. Second time this happened we sent the extra bottles back. But they still tried to charge us for them! Tasty food but not many vegetarian options and a bit pricey.

Good quality and service restaurant. Recommend

first time visiting this restaurant on a recommendation, found food very bland no flavour and aubergine side ordered not on the menu dish was not cooked well was quite rubbery with again no flavour. service very slow table not cleaned once food was taken away.

"Chandini Song" Chandiiini chandiiini what a wonderfull world of spice Channdiiini, chandiiini, where you know that your food will be nice. Its the andrew murray of Curry I could eat their paneer for a year when I gobble it up my tum tum gives a cheer Their spice is so nice and the rice a delight, it's an excellent shout for a cold winters night.

Very nice food, reasonably priced one of the best I've visited in and around the area.

Had second take away this week from this place, had lamb tikka massala and sagaloo. Was the best I ever ate! Lamb is extremely tender and I can’t recommend it enough! Food it’s not swimming in oil like in some Indian restaurants. I’m pretty impressed!!!!

Really excellent 👌 and friendly

A wonderfully welcoming and delicious Indian restaurant. The service was excellent; staff were super friendly and attentive. The food itself was fantastic. As vegetarians we had never seen an Indian offer Quorn fillets as a meat substitute so we gave it a go. Word of warning, the portions are generous and the fillets are incredibly filling!! Highly recommended and we will back. Thank you for a special evening!

Heard alot about this place but tbh my heart sank when I saw the jalfrazi was quite red, which to me is a warning sign. Served it up and to my very pleasant surprise, WOW! What a taste. I have ate in some of the top Indian restaurants in the UK and this certainly is up there for taste, flavour, portion size well everything! Certainly looking forward to a sit down meal at some point soon.

7 of us went last night to celebrate my daughters upcoming 21st. I had read the reviews and thought we would try here. Absolutely amazing food, possibly the best Tikka Masala I have ever had and every other side dish too. Staff are lovely, friendly and more importantly Happy. We will 100% be returning.

Best restaurant in town. Thanks for the excellent service and the exciting food.

Previously eaten in the restaurant. First time getting a takeaway curry from there. The curry travelled well compared to other takeaway currys. Probably the best takeaway curry house in the area. Will be going back.

Food was really good. The mains were a good size and full of flavour. Starters could have been slightly larger and the samosas didn't taste fresh. However an overall good experience and would definitely return l.

Have wanted to visit here as been highly recommended by friends . We arrived early and people were already there. Its tuesday eve but the place had steady flow of customers . Food was really nice. we had some recomendations from waiter which we took and wasnt disappointed x would defo recomend but may need to book even mid week as was busy x nice friendly staff. X

Fab restaurant, I go back week after week. New menu with lamb shank jalfrezi...superb! Good value and friendly staff. After having been going to chandini for over 5 years now, I can say without doubt that it's the best restaurant I know, and that's coming from a Birmingham heritage. The menu has evolved, but the chicken mitas starter, onion Baji and sheek kebabs are all amazing. Tonight I had the chicken tawa....spicy, with my signature naan chilli and Coriander..... And great rice! Cobra always adds to the occasion!

Good place for a curry. Reasonable prices and portion sizes. There is a small car park, but it is never enough.

Fantastic curries, great flavours and spice. Service is impeccable. Highly recommend the lamb palak

First visit last night ...amazing food amazing staff who were very attentive.. will definately visit again. A+ Thankyou

First time dining here. Came with a group of colleagues for a meal after work. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, a very nice ambience. They have nice decor that uses bold walls with older brickwork making this restaurant a mix of old and new but it looks very good. Service was quick and all that we ordered was sent correctly to our table. Staff were friendly and helpful. We didn’t feel rushed to order or eat and leave. I tried the veg samosas which were really tasty and crispy on the outside. I always ordered the veg biryani which was really beautifully spiced. You could taste all the spices without the burn in the mouth.

Had a nice takeaway good quality Food

Went for the first time this evening. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely go again!

Best Indian around,great tasting food 😋

Great food, fresh tasty ingredients. Excellent vegan options. Friendly service.

Not my first visit and won't be my last. They have a fairly short menu, but they cover all the bases and the food is first class.

Beautiful restaurant, the service and food was excellent. I will visit again

Excellent food, the chicken korma is one of the best I have ever tasted. The service is great, helpful and nice people helping you to decide. Definitely, a place to go!

The food and service here on the past three occasions have been excellent.

Great food, polite staff. A little on the expensive side.

Great food, friendly staff, nice setting. Spot on.

Tried the buffet today, very good value for money, would have give 5 star but onion bahji and chicken tikka was cold on first plate

Excellent food from an excellent team.

Food is absolutely delicious, we have eaten in the restaurant a few times and had lots of takeaways, always great service and excellent menu choice. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chandini Indian.

Lovely food and great customer service!

Excellent food and service. A bit pricing on main meals but to be honest worth every penny

I rated earlier as a one star... My phone froze 🙈 Its always 5 stars... My favourite Indian... I'd never go anywhere else, amazing good... Always... No off days... Thank you Chandini your what Saturdays are all about 😊😊

Lovely friends service food ambience. If you love melt in mouth lamb try me and husbands favourite lamb balti pollock awesome....ps chicken dansak amazing too 😋 😉 x

It would have 5 stars as the food was delicious, both the chicken korma and the chicken dansak were yummy. 4 stars as somehow one of the sides was missing and that was a little disappointing. No need to refund if I wasn’t charged for the item. All good it was just a mistake as you say. Thanks again.

Using my phone for marketing even though I haven't ever place an order with them. The reason I didn't place an order was because they advertised 20% off on Facebook and when I wanted to place an order they said this wasnt the case and people only get 10% off for collection of a takeaway. I don't give anyone my business if they falsely advertise. Obviously they're not doing very well if they feel the need to bombard people with texts. Make sure you withhold your number if you ring them.

Really lovely food. Great for Vegans too. Staff go out of their way to help you choose what food to order. Nice atmosphere and very clean.

Recently moved from London to the area and have had some terrible Indian takeaways. Thank god for this place! It’s not the cheapest but it’s worth it!

Staff really nice and polite. Had the best king prawn purée I've ever had for my starter. I had the chef's special lamb Balti (made with spinach in it) that was so different to anything I've had before and was absolutely lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Fourth time now, excellent standard of food as always,

Lovely venue, friendly staff, gorgeous poppadoms with tasty dips However the food which was not bad lacked a little taste But do not let this put you off

Lovely restaurant, exceptional food, and very attentive staff, if I had any issue at all it would be that the paving slab at the front door is loose and just waiting for someone trip, small problem I know but the way people claim these days. Could be rectified easily.

It was OK, nothing to write home about.

Often order a delivery but won’t be ordering ever again after last night. Driver arrives really aggressively knocking so while my partner run upstairs to get the cash I opened the door driver throw the food at me and scarpered off. Then at gone 9pm we get a phone call saying we’ve not paid my partner said he would call the restaurant in the morning to pay as we were having an early night. We call the restaurant in the Morning but it’s closed. Then we start getting calls from the driver and we tell them we call the restaurant and pay, Called the restaurant no answer. Then we start getting calls from the drivers cousin telling us to pay. About 5:30 the restaurant answers and we pay. But we will never order from them again the amount of harassment for something that was their mistake and the fact our telephone number was shared with the drivers cousin is unbelievable and unprofessional Has the restaurant got new owners?

Great food, lovely restaurant, staff friendly and always to hand when needed

excellent food.excellent service

Thank you for the excellent food, and amazing staff. We look forward to dinning with you again soon!

Great food good range on the menu at great price clean and tidy restaurant friendly and helpful staff

Nice meal and friendly staff. However it was a very noisy evening when we went and hard to talk to the couple we were with. Hope to come back and try another evening.

Food got cold midway through the meal, but it was very nice until then

Lovely food nice atmosphere but a little wait for food to come out but worth wait, will certainly be back. 5 stars.

Decent local Indian restaurant. Very tasty.

Always amazing food and great service.

Amazing food !! Live in Harlow and definitely the best Indian around. Would highly recommend!!

Nice food catered for 12 of us brilliantly on a busy Saturday evening.

Excellent food and service, staff really friendly and knowledgeable, not cheap though!!

In a word, excellent. Been to many Indian Restaurants and Chandini is up there. Would reccomend

Really nice restaurant and food was delicious. Staff were a little grumpy though!

Khaild was such a good bloke next time is see this handsome little man i shall wave hello. What a boy i would totally recommend the tap water as it has a good bit of spice a kick to it i love Chandini Fine India Cuisine. X

Lovely staff Lovely restaurant... Really friendly atmosphere nice food... Well run establishment...

We have been meaning to go here for a while so with restrictions lifted we booked a table. Really nice interior mixing old and new and it had a good atmosphere It was very busy in the restaurant but also busy with take away orders, so service for those seated was quite slow Food was really good, I had the chicken Tawa as I like to try something different and it was excellent, the peshwari naan was one of the best we'd had so all in all it was excellent Weekends prepare for a wait and check your bill .... but I would say it's definitely worth it, we will be back

Always love Chandinis. Not much choice around here, but having lived in London for over 30 years this is up there with the best!

Lovely food with great vegetarian options highly recommend

Ordered at 7:30pm, had to cancel my order at 10:10pm because my food still wasn’t here. I can understand it’s a busy night for them but don’t take on orders you can’t handle. Very, very poor service this evening. It’s a shame because usually very good

Very nice. A cottage feel which is nice. Good service, very nice food.

The food was absolutely fabulous. I have to say I've never had lamb so tender in a Indian restaurant. I shall return.

Decent food and friendly helpful staff, my favourite Indian food by far. Travel 20 miles from cheshunt to go here and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Great to be back in our local Curry House, as normal the food was superb made better by Josh serving in his normal happy and genuine manner. Thanks . We will be back soon.

It was great to be back at Chandini on Friday, great food and service! 🥰

Had this Indian restaurant recommended to us.We ordered a takeaway and was very pleased.Free delivery and very good quality food.Large portions and delicious.Best Indian we've had in ages.

I'm a curry fan and know a good curry. This one is excellent.

Really nice finally found a decent Indian restaurant.

Lovely food, fast & friendly service and excellent that they offer discount on takeaway and collection. The website is also very easy to use to place an order, and even though the tracking can be a little off they always call to update you if the food is ready ahead of time. Looking forward to coming to eat-in at some point when restaurants are back open.

Food was tasty but in my opinion a little overpriced. Meal for two with beer and soft drink starters and mains £65

Had a take away last nite got it home and it was still piping hot a delicious all 5 of us couldn’t fault it 👏👏

Waited ages for our starters which was served lukewarm. Told the waiter who did not really apologise and expected the cost to be removed from our bill but this did not happen.Then when the main course finally came my wife specifically stated that she wanted no sauce on her prawns. However, the waiter did not think the meal should be served like this and instructed the chef to add a small amount of sauce. As a result of this my wife returned her meal as it was not what she ordered and was subsequently given what she ordered in the first place. A real disappointment as we had been looking forward to visiting thus restaurant based on the good reviews we had seen.

Our first visit yesterday for my birthday, got of to a bit of a bad start with confusion over ordering a glass of wine and being brought a bottle, only wanted a glass, that was sorted as another customer took and paid for the rest of the bottle, we then ordered our food, it was not too long and our food arrived, this was amazing great dishes plenty of it and very tasty, so to sum up food 5 stars service 3 stars, the other thing I noticed was the staff all wearing masks, and screens in place, my only concern is that at no point was I asked to book any track and trace details, I thought this was a requirement for restaurants and bars to show the NHS QR code and have all customers details taken for track and trace??

I can see why this is classed as Award winning . The food is amazing and the ambiance of the resteraunt is set for any gathering . Precautions are in place for distancing with staff wearing masks .

We have just returned from this amazing restaurant, having eaten in most continents of the world this restaurant stands on its own . The food was amazing, fresh , hot and over and above any Indian food I have experienced. You will not be disappointed, this food is indeed the creme de la creme of Indian food . Highly recommended

Attended this restaurant for a 40th Birthday for a friend. Food was outstanding, as was the service and general atmosphere. Highly recommended

Really love this place. Service is excellent, food is excellent and a great atmosphere. I've been here two times in a short amount of time! Owner/manager is very friendly too! Highly recommend to go here, you won't be disappointed!

Delicious food, beautifully presented🍛

Ordered for collection and food was superb, staff were friendly and helpful and its set up so you can collect without getting too close. We really enjoyed our first Indian takeaway in many weeks. Thank you

They have a much reduced menu then they use to so limited choice and missing some of the old standard dishes.okay Okay overall

Lovely food. Takeaway is always hot and on time. Eating in carries and higher price but quality food and service every time. Brought several friends and family here as I feel it's the best Indian within miles..

Authentic Indian food well spiced.
