Enjoyed a superb take away from Cherry Trees yesterday. I have always enjoyed the food here but this was first class. If you want fresh tasting food, carefully prepared and presented, off an interesting menu, then look no further than the friendly people at Cherry Trees. They are on the top of their game at the moment.

We tried the restuarant takeaway for the first time having heard how authentic and good the food was and we were not disappointed! One of the best curries we've had for a log time. We shall be coming back again.

Living away from home at the moment, our weekly weekend treat is a takeaway from Cherry Trees. Fantastic food and service - the food is always hot, top quality tender lamb, (dhansak and pathia are favourites), arrives on the dot of delivery time, pay by card at the front door. Brilliant.

We have been visiting the Cherry trees regularly for about six years now. The staff are polite and friendly and the food is always good and reasonably priced. During covid we had take aways which were also good.

This is my go to Indian takeaway as its great value and the curry is delicious and not greasy at all. Sometimes you get Indian takeaways and there is a layer of oil on the curry, but here that has never been close to the case. Get a takeaway from here regularly and have eaten in a few times, never had a bad meal!

Chose this restaurant as a conveniently situated meeting place for the family coming from different directions. We were all very impressed from the moment we entered with the welcome and the beautifully laid out tables with starched napery etc. We were there for a Sunday buffet as we thought that would suit our family group which included a vegetarian and a gluten free - who was delighted that chick pea flour was used in everything but the naan bread so could eat what he liked.We all had an excellent meal of a very high quality - one member of our family said it was the best Indian meal he had ever had! I cannot think of anything to criticise - the welcome, the staff, the service and above all the food were all excellent. We shall certainly be back.

We were a bit bored with our usual Indian restaurants so we thought we would drive out and try this place, it was a Saturday night the restaurant was about half full. Have to say all of us really enjoyed the food! Staff were friendly and accommodating. I had chicken balti which was very good indeed. One of those places that the ambience can vary but the food was first class. We will certainly visit again.

The last time I went to the Cherry Trees it was a pub and I got food poisoning from some Lincolnshire sausages.I suppose this is probably why, after all these years living in the village, I’ve never been back there. The reader may not be aware but gastroenteritis isn’t the most pleasant illness and 25 years later the memories, as a child, of being pinned to the toilet for three days linger in the back of my mind; exploding (no pun intended) to the forefront every time the name ‘Cherry Trees’ is mentioned.One can understand why I was apprehensive when the family and I went for the Sunday buffet and Shatkora was on offer as one of the dishes.However, all jokes aside, the Cherry Trees pub became an Indian some time after the above and has changed hands several times since.The buffet was excellent and the staff friendly and professional. At £11 per head (£6 something for children) it was a very good price for the quality of the food.Will be back!

The cherry trees is a lovely place to visit. The food is delish and served by the perfect temperature. The staff are helpful and kind too. The negative point would be that the food took quite a long time to come. Would recommend it.

We went as guests with friends and were really satisfied with this restaurant overall.It is an old pub converted with lots of parking. The ambience inside is light,airy and comfortable.The staff are really friendly and attentive, and take pleasure in what they do.We chose the special menus at either £8.95 or £10.95, and were not disappointed. I had a chicken curry which I had bNever had beforeand it was exquisite. In fact all of us declared our starters and mains plus our side dishes as delicious.This was a real pleasure eating here and the specials from Sunday to Thursday are great value.A fantastic find.

My only advice is to book before going to avoid disappointment, we have been a number of times & have always been made very welcome.

We have been to the Cherry Tress many times in the last few years, and have always had great service and food. We have tried many of the restaurants around Hatfield and Welwyn to try and find a good Indian closer to home, but so far none have come close to the quality of food at the Cherry Trees. Would definitely recommend getting a table in the conservatory and giving it a go.

We met friends here for a curry. We have never been here before. The staff were not on the ball and one waiter seemed almost shy! We ordered drinks and curries. I have been eating curries nearly almost all my life so I do not think I have a bad tongue for taste? I had a prawn puree to start with, which was just passable and friends had onion bhajees. For some stupid reason I ordered a king prawn masala. Bad choice! The sauce was thick orange sludge that is all I can say with these shrivelled up things in it. They could of been snails for all I knew. Awful, awful. As our friends were paying and they are the best, I kept my mouth closed which is a first! When my husband I got in our car to go home, the first thing he asked was, what my curry like as his was the worst ever. The conclusion of this is: the worst curry we have eaten,

We only live a short distance away in Wheathampstead and due to the excellent quality of the food and the great value of the fixed price deal on Mondays to Thursday we probably eat here around once a month for over 5 years.Never had a bad meal and the service is always good. Overall the quality of the food is great.It probably pays to check how hot each dish is before ordering as there is no indication on the menu. However, this is a great place to eat midweek and come highly recommended

Without exaggerating this is probably the best Indian restaurant in Hertfordshire. We have been visiting for a number of years at least once a week and it never fails to impress. The food is excellent and impeccably served by the staff who are friendly without being overbearing. The gourmet night meal is excellent value for money and is enough for the largest appetite, while the sunday buffet provides a large variety of traditional indian dishes that should suit everybody. There is large, airy conservatory that seats about 40 and the rest consists of well spaced out tables for those preferring a quieter meal. A takeaway service is also provided with delivery to local areas an option. All in all a well-run restaurant and a credit to its manager and staff, we will return soon!

Tried the cherry tree today, walking in its not all lavishly decorated their be honest, still looks similar to a pub. It I'm not there for the decor I'm there to eat. Had the buffet lunch that they do. £8.95 a pop which is fair drive 's are very much expensive £3.25 for a coke. Food is good, well cooked and lots of flavour unlike some which is bland and watery. Only downside is choice, now please don't get me wrong there is a few dishes to try but not many. On the whole though if your looking for a good curry that's a good price without drinks then I suggest giving them a whirl.

We have been going here for many years and cannot recall ever being disappointed. Not having been for a while we went on a Sunday evening and were pleasantly surprised to see that they still serve what they call a Banquet (Sun to Thurs) for the princely sum of £7.99. This will get you a Main, Side and Rice or Naan. For the two of us with 2 large Cobra beers and 2 glasses of reasonable quality house wine the bill with a tip came to a very reasonable £40.I had Jalfrezi and other half had a Balti and both were very good. My Jalfrezi had a decent kick to it without being too hot. It's a shame that the menu does not indicate how hot the dishes are with some sort of symbol as many other Indian restaurants do. They do have a narrative againt each item describing the item and how hot it is but I think a series of symbols in addition would make it easier to home in on the hot or mild items depending on your taste.I saw in an earlier review that the FSA Hygiene rating was only 2 and have just checked to find that it is sadly still only 2. I think the owners need to take a look at this as I'm sure quite a few people would be put off by this if they knew. Hopefully local authorities will soon make the presentation of the rating apparent in the premises mandatory as I will now worry as to whether I need to take my custom elsewhere if the restaurant is toying with my health.Despite the restaurant being reasonly busy on a Sunday night, serviec was good and fairly quick.PS I wouldn't bother with a takeaway from here as it really doesn't seem to come from the same kitchen. Chalk and Cheese !!

I took my children to the Sunday Buffet and was disappointed with the choice. There was only one dish that wasn't chicken and some of the dishes tasted the same. The range of sundries was limited too. I just expected more from a buffet. The Cherry Tree food is normally nice, but i wont do the buffet again.

The Cherry Trees is local and we use it regularly. The food is good, the wine by the glass is decent (not always the case in an Indian restaurant), the surroundings are very pleasant with the main dining area being a large conservatory. The staff are always welcoming and attentive and you can not fault the value of the evening meal set price. We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal last night with friends and would recommend the Cherry Trees every time.

Visited again having not been for a while and had a very pleasant evening on this, a Banquet night., that is starter, main, one side dish and a rice or nan plus tea or coffee for £9.95. Atmosphere is very pleasant in the modern conservatory and though busy the staff were very attentive and helpful. My Tandoori mixed grill was particularly good but all the dishes were hot and tasty. Including papadoms, drinks and a tip at £37 very reasonable.

visited again at the weekend and this is consistently the best Indian food in the area. The Lamb shank is a terrific dish ( if you are very hungry ) and they also have a Sunday buffet 12-5 - is it possible to get better food for less money ? I doubt it. Monday to Thursday are gourmet nights - starter , main dish , rice,Naan side dish and coffee for a very reasonable amount. Staff are always attentive and pleasant. Every time I go elsewhere it never quite lives up - well done all .Always worth the driver from WGC.

I have some friends who swear by this place, but to be honest I always thought it looked a little shabby. Never judge a book by its cover, the proverb says, and quite rightly so.Inside is clean tidy, with good tableware, not in keeping with a eat as much as you like buffet restaurant, but this is not that type of place, it just happens to offer that on a Sunday lunchtime. Great value, with a good selection of dishes, including prawn, chicken and lamb curries, vegetarians are not left out either. I only managed three visits to the food bar, but others in our party felt that four or five visits were required to sample so many great tasting dishes. Drinks are standard restaurant prices.Best value for money I've had for a very long time, don't all rush there and spoil a little known gem will you?

Went once more as regulars to the Banquet night (Mon - Thurs) choosing Option 2 at £9.95 for starter, main dish, vegetable dish and nan bread plus tea or coffee. Very busy with a party but service nevertheless good and the food piping hot. Excellent mixed platter starters, followed by Bahani chicken pasanda and Mango delight as mains with the two vegetable dishes, a rice and a nan bread between us. Then coffee. With the drinks and tip a reasonable £37 and as such good value.

So the welcome and venue was very good. Serice was good to start. Order taken fairly quickly. First course took quite a while to come out. Main course took even longer probably 40 mins. When the food did arrive it was cold. The daal had a skin on top of it indicating it had been standing for a while in the kitchen. The beef and lamb dishes were good. However the veg main and sides were very bland. When we came to pay the card machine wasn't working and they asked for cash. I won't be returning to a very average restaurant that didn't deliver the hype that it has on tripadvisor.

I visited the Cherry Tree with friends in the evening. It has a large car park at the rear, but it was full after we arrived. The restaurant is lovely inside, well presented and has a homely feeling. It appeared to be very busy and we ordered a variety of dishes as well as side dishes. The food was lovely, full of flavours but a number of us thought that some of the main dishes lacked quantity. I had the Chicken Madras and I was disappointed with the amount of chicken that was with the dish. Four of us ordered coffees and three times we asked for milk and by the time it arrived the coffee was barely warm. I look forward to returning to the Cherry Tree its a lovely restaurant.

I have visited the Cherry Trees twice and both times the food was reasonable and the service fine. I'm not convinced about the setting and the atmosphere can get very loud even if there is just one larger group. It's nice enough but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to travel here unless it was my local (or in my case, close to my partners relatives). If I could give it 3.5/5 I would, but I couldn't justify the 4/5.

Definitely the best curry house in the area. The food has been consistently good since the place opened. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere, you are not rushed at all. The banquet night is very good value (£7.95 for main, rice or naan and a side dish, £9.95 if you want a starter). Also offer a good take away service but always better to eat in. Nice to see the place so busy mid week, given that it is out of the way.

Being a spoilt Londoner (Holy Cow, Benares, Cinnamon tree etc) we take quality take always very seriously. This is one of our local favourites and having tried many in and around St.Albans it is definitely one of the best. Fresh ingredients and aromatic flavours are delivered every time. The king prawn special is delicious; incredibly meaty, almost mini lobsters are delivered in a lovely savoury sauce. They deliver in about an hour in Friday/Saturday nights so as long as you allow for this you won't be disappointed!

I have been going to the Cherry Tree for years and it is by far the best Indian restaurant in the Harpenden area. I have one other favourite which is in the Wellington street area of Luton but whenever I go there I come out with a headache due to the excessive noise and the frantic atmosphere, while in the Cherry Tree you can really relax and enjoy a lovely meal in the company of friends. We went there again last night and the food, service and the atmosphere was delightful as always. To top it all, the bill came under £20 per person which was extremely reasonable considering the food and drinks we've ordered.

Drinks and poppadoms order taken and arrived quickly.I chose the £7.95 menu and asked if I could swap a side for a starter instead. I was told 'no' straight away, whereas my friend was told she could have the onion bhajis from the starters instead of her side. I wasn't told this was an option, just told 'no' I couldn't swap. Found this a bit odd, and also that the guy could have explained.Besides that, it was all good. Food was quite nice and too greasy. Reasonably priced.

We had a nice table in the conservatory. Service was attentive but not overbearing. We ordered from the banquet which was very good value and just the right amount of food. Our food was fresh and tasty and with two large drinks the bill still came to less than £30 for two. We would definitely return, our only concern is why this restaurant is not more popular.

We turned up on a Saturday evening and were shown to a nice table in the conservatory, we had poppadum's as we perused the menu, then we had starters of sheek kebabs and tandoori chicken and then mains of Lamb Rogan and Lamb Bhuna with plain rice and naan bread. The whole meal was lovely and perfectly cooked and there was a nice gap between courses, the bill was really reasonable and we would definitely go back for the food, the only reason I didn't give this review a five star was that the staff were indifferent, unfriendly and didn't even smile.

I've driven past this place many times but finally gave it a go as a precursor to going to a gig at a nearby pub. We had a table in the Conservatory at the rear of the building and I'd certainly recommend it if available.I tried my usual Chicken Jalfrezi and my veggie friend had something I can't remember the name of, but both were very fresh, very tasty and nicely hot. Will definitely be giving the place another go.

At short notice and with no prior booking went around 8 pm. At the beginning of the week the restaurant was quiet and we were seated in the corner of the conservatory. Service was prompt and helpful and we all opted to order from the banquet night options, available - I think - Sunday to Thursday. All the food was hot, well cooked and tasty and chosen from an extensive menu and with wine and beers the total cost, excluding tip of around £47 was good value. Happy to recommend.

Been meaning to try this place for years. Finally got the chance when a friend had her 50 birthday there. The food was really good and I'd love to go back (my kids aren't so keen on curry so it might be a while before I get the chance) I have no idea about price as the birthday girl picked up the bill.

We have eaten here on and off for a few years and it seems the food (quality and presentation) has improved, so much so that we are eating here more often. The service is usually very good (although was slow the night we went) and the house red wine is quite nice. The conservatory is the nicest area to sit and it feels good value for quality food and experience. We also very much like the small shot glass of baileys and ice together with an After Eight Mint!

Had a takeaway from here tonight, one of the main meals contained an elastic band. Phoned the restaurant who seemed completely indifferent to this news. Photo attached.

Six of us visited on a midweek evening. Absolutely no welcome from the waiters. Shown to a table in a conservatory which was to put it mildly stark. Drinks arrived quickly. A long wait between starters and main courses. When food was 'dumped down' and that's the only word for it by the sullen waiter he couldn't even be bothered to say what each was, I assume so that he didn't have to go to the extra effort of putting the appropriate dish in front of the correct person. Have marked as average only because the food was nice, not great but nice, certainly based on service the score would be terrible. Then to cap it all I left a good tip - why oh why do we sometimes do that!

Just had our first takeaway from The Cherry Tree. Excellent food, nicely spiced. A point deducted though because it wasn't piping hot by the time it reached us.

we have used this restaurant for years and it always provides great food. These days we have it delivered and we think its difficult to beat.

Great place for a Sunday buffet with a good selection of starters followed by very good main dishes, some medium hot some very spicy there are labels on the trays to tell you what is on offer. the main menu has a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The main seating is in the conservatory which can get hot on sunny days there is more seating at the front which is cooler. Staff are very good food is very good prices are reasonable.

Had a really nice curry hear, staff are friendly, the food was nice and they were happy to make a take away bag up as we had so much left over and threw in a couple of popadoms to go with it. All in all a nice place to go but not the easiest if you want to drink alcohol. I will be going again.

We decided we were going to get a curry delivered on a Saturday night and fancied a change of restaurant. I have been recommended a number of times recently to try the Cherry Trees and thought I would give it a try. I can say that we had a great meal, they did not lie and the food turned up when they said it would, it was cooked perfectly and it was also very reasonably priced. I would most probably chose this over my regular place from now on!! From my understanding they deliver within a 3 mile radius!!

This was our first visit to Nouvelle Lounge at The Quadrant and we were really surprised. The restaurant was very busy and the atmosphere was vibrant. We were welcomed and taken to our table very promptly. Drinks arrived soon after and our food order was taken by friendly, knowledgeable staff who were able to answer all our questions. We didn't have to wait too long for our delicious food, the mains arriving with a theatrical flourish of dry ice. Over all we had a lovely evening. This place is a great asset to this area.

I have been here many times & have never been disappointed, so I decided to have my 50th family celebrations here. As always the food was amazing along with the hospitality. They were very accommodating for us all including a 17month old that did not want to stay seated. Thank you Sarakh for helping me to end the weekend of my celebrations on a high

Never disappointed with the food here. Always fresh and cooked perfectly, love the fresh side salads and onions that come with the Tikka / Sheek kebab starters. Great range of mains and veg side dishes, particularly like the saag aloo and Brinjal Bhaji. Was worried when they moved premises a few years ago, but the food is still excellent. Always collect but did get delivery a few years back during covid times, the food always arrived piping hot.

We ordered a delivery on a Friday night which came earlier than expected. The food was absolutely amazing. Best bhaji I’ve ever tasted, mixed grill perfect combination and all the accompaniments delicious. Flavours and spices just right - best Indian food in the area !
