Hanul Lautarilor in Watford

We felt good every time we came. Tasty food like at mom's home 🤗

Amazing food, good Romanian music. Very pleased with all service. Did not wait for food to long. And it was delicious. Highly recommended.

It has good music and the most important delicious food. Aubergine salad is my favourite and satisfied my bud tastes. Big portion asorted with tomato slices and bruschette. Definitely recommended 👌

A Romanian restaurant, which I tried on the advice of friends. Really glad I listened, I had the grilled chicken in mushroom sauce, presentation, taste and portion size were all excellent. I definitely recommend trying this excellent restaurant and will definitely be going again in the very near future l.

Excellent food, ROMANIAN atmosphere, congratulations to the Administrators and Staff!

Great experience! Amazing food for anyone's taste. The staff member always makes you feel welcomed. Thank you!

The food was good, we had a hot platter. We had a table booked on a Saturday evening from 7pm. We were told on the phone that the live music will start from 8pm. We left the restaurant at 10pm and until that time there wasn't any live music. Toilets need to be repaired as well. I will not come back.

walked in with 22 people got table and chairs for only 20 to then only hear there not serving food this really effected our family as we pre booked this when all off us where off work this was a massive inconvenience and i hope no one else gets this kind off poor service thank you

I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. On March 2, I went with my wife to eat at this restaurant. We were not received as we expected to be received and served. We were asked by the waitresses right at the entrance how long we want to stay? I replied that we don't know how long we want to stay. We just want to eat something. The waitresses were rude and with a great attitude. We ordered something to drink and waited a long time for them to take our food order. We had to let's signal to them to come and Praia to order. I ordered a belly soup and mutton chop. I asked the waitress what side dish the mutton chop comes with? They answered me in a mean tone that I have no choice, it only comes with mashed potatoes and salad and after 40 minutes they came with a pan and slammed it on the table. The waitresses are so disgusted that it's only them in the restaurant, their service did not satisfy us with the place. The lack of respect and cold feet are also I told the waitress how is it possible to serve food directly in the pan? and they started laughing. I regret that we went to this restaurant and that we wasted our time and were humiliated at such a restaurant by some rude people who looked like escorts .The food had no taste. The chops were not well made and what kind of mash they served in the pan without any presentation. Shame on them!!!! I also paid £72.00 pounds, they were not worth a penny, I left ft. Angry at this so-called restaurant with only the name. Be careful, good people! I do not recommend this Romanian restaurant to anyone. Shame on them.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good evening! I do not recommend this Romanian Restaurant to anyone because it is the second time since I have been to this terrible restaurant! 1. First of all, on March 2, I was with my husband, when we entered the restaurant, we were received humbly and they asked us at the entrance "How long do we have to stay" I said that we don't know how long we are sitting, how long it will take to eat with a great attitude both waitresses barely seated us at a table 2. Did he ask what we wanted to drink? and I answered what we would like He brought us that drink, after which he stopped saying "Would you like something else" He left the drink on the table and left... After that my husband and I looked at the respective menu that was on the table, we both decided what we would like to eat and we should have signaled for them to come to our table to take our food order. .... 3. When the food was brought to us, especially my husband ordered mutton chop instead of the food served on a nice plate it was in a pan...... 4. Waitresses have a nasty attitude towards customers.

Truly a location where you feel closer to a foreign country! Friendly location and staff, delicious food.

The place is very nice, the food is extraordinary and the staff is welcoming and very helpful

Excellent atmosphere, highly recommend, Florin.

Very good food 😊 Very pleasant atmosphere. recommend

Impeccable service, very good food! I recommend!

I really love the Romanian food here! I can totally recommend their sarmale and papanași 👌🏼 We’ve already been several times

Superb experience, will return for sure, excellent service thanks.

Fantastic food and service, very looked after! Perfect dinner out with the family.

Staff really looked after us, food was great. Multumesc!

Nice and harmonious atmosphere. Delicious food, gladly again! 💁🏻‍♂️

Outstanding!! The Xmas menu was full of choice and flavour! The best restaurant with great atmosphere!!

One of the best Romanian restaurant in London. The food and service are over my expectations. Also the Christmas vibe is one of a kind. Very thankful and surprised with the free gifts I’ve received!

I went in chilled like a motan from the rooftops, ate an excellently prepared belly soup and came out like a nobleman 🤩 Thank you, Hanul Lăutarilor including for the songs from the loudspeakers 🥰 Octave Ovidiu

The best food in town , very warm atmosphere, cheap compare to others restaurants, well done , I would recommend ❤️❤️❤️

I am here for the Sunday lunch buffet. Service is very efficient ! A really wonderful experience of a large variety of Romanian food . An amazing stew of beef and the truffle mash is to die for … for dessert I added a photo of my favourite one! It looks simple but has a wonderful fix of flavour - the almond flakes give it an extra kick .

Delicious food and very nice and professional staff, I highly recommend ‼️10/10

Food was average but plenty of it. It not puoing hot but was just OK. Music was too loud and was hard to have a conversation. It was an OK experience but not the best Eastern European experience I've had.

From the OCS Group LTD company, a big big thank you!!! The table with my colleagues was incredibly tasty and full of all traditional Romanian dishes. Thank you and may God keep you healthy to make all Romanians happy! Beautiful day

Excellent food, content and presentation. Tripe soup a delicacy and Cezar salad a masterpiece! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Vas suggest to change the recipe of the small ones, they are too spicy and with large peppercorns in them.

Great Balcanic atmosphere , we were warm welcomed by Miguel who served us in the bar area, with very nice enthusiasm .Our top waitress Lavinia , presented the food menu to us and offered awesome recommendations. Definitely we’ll be back. Thanks.

Great food service and atmosphere

That was the first time when we visited the place .The restaurant looks stunning ,the food is super delicious.Their is a variety of different romanian dishes,so many choices.The food is kept at the right temperature.The restaurant is spotless,super clean .Everyone enjoyed the starters and the mains(buffet)especially the desserts.Is definitely a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ restaurant.We will definitely be back.

Lovely people nice service tasty food will visit again

I went to an "all you can eat" on Sunday. Good food, full, from good to very good.

I visited the Restaurant after seeing a post on Tiktok with all inclusive, very tasty food, very kind and helpful staff. We recommend with great pleasure.

After a 2 hour plus drive, I tried this restaurant and it was clearly worth it... The people here make you feel at home... Very friendly and familiar... Guaranteed we will come back with love....

I recommend with all confidence! 🎉

The server Miguel was very kind and happy to help at all times. He recommended the best dishes. The food was cooked so very well and tasted amazing. The buffet has options for everyone including kids. I will definitely return.

Sunday afternoon I decided to come with my family to Hanul Lăutarilor, The food was delicious. They had a huge variety. The service was impeccable as well. I highly recommend

I confidently recommend this restaurant and I have nothing but praise for the services provided and their quality! A grade 10 staff like that! We come here very often and every time we are very satisfied!

A very pleasant atmosphere, very delicious food, with many varieties, at a very advantageous price. We would love to come back, we liked the buffet and a 10-star service. Thank you!

Excellent service, amazing food and very diverse.

Lovely atmosphere, with many varieties of sofisticate romanian dishes, which we enjoed very much. We were looked after, the service was amazing and we will definitely come back again and again.

Very pleased with this location, serve with confidence! That's why I also recommend it for children, as the products are always fresh!

Lovely experience trying local romanian cuisine on Sunday evening in the all you can eat buffet, exceptional value, music and atmosphere.

Very quiet and clean place in Watford. 5* food 5* service. Best chicken liver I ever tried. Overall all the menu is exquisite.

Authentic Romanian food, taste like at home, good prices, very good service (we had children with us who made the situation more difficult but the waitress was very kind). The music was a bit loud, but it probably brought more authenticity considering that all Romanian parties have music at high volume.

I recommend! Tasty food and wonderful stuff!

Very satisfied, very good food and nice personnel

Five stars! This place is a very nice one, I feel very good every time I am coming here. The food is great and delicious, I never was disapointed, but always satisfyed. And the staff is always taking care about clients, very politely and professional. I recommend everyone, to try it!

I wholeheartedly recommend the "Hanul Lautarilor" from Watford, to all those who want to taste delicious food like in Romania. In this corner of Romanian cuisine we always find delicious traditional dishes. In addition to Romanian cuisine, we also find a wide range of other international menus to suit everyone's tastes. It's always a pleasure to be a customer here! The staff is very helpful and always with a smile on their face. I declare myself 200% satisfied!

Great service and great food, everyone left full up!! And I mean FULL up!! Very generous portion sizes and the quality of the food was top drawer. The waitress was very attentive, friendly and really tried her best to make us feel welcome and valued. We even had a tray of free desserts and shots to finish off. Will 100% be visiting on our next trip to Watford. P.S. the music played in there was 90’s/00’s and if this isn’t enough to bring you in then I don’t know what is.

Food is amazing,staff very friendly, restaurant is very nice top Romina Resturant ……..Thanks 🔝👌🥰

Pleasant atmosphere, nice and attentive service. I recommend!

Excellent location, very friendly staff and the best traditional food

Quality service and very good food! Thank you.

Very professional and attentive staff! Delicious food! I recommend with confidence

Always a great experience eating here - thefood is so good, the staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is enjoyable.

Very friendly staff, great tasty food and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended! ❤️🍽️🇷🇴

Very tasty, delicious menu of the day, I recommend.

Definitely (not probably) the best romanian restaurant in UK

Very Ok, the price is low and the food is good

Super good food, very attentive waitresses! I strongly recommend!!

Their food is nice and their service is top notch

The soup was cold, and the drinks came after we finished eating.

Hello I went with 3 people on Saturday 29/7/23, we had 2 drinks and food menus on the table, the one with food was not so diverse so I scanned the qr code then on their page the full menu, I ordered a platter noble price £28.50. When I asked for the payment note for the £80 nobleman's plate surprise, I asked why? Then the young lady brought me to the bar to show me another menu where the price was £80, I asked why this menu, which they only have at the bar, is not on the table, why is the price not correct on the restaurant's website after the qr code, the explanation it was "it's the old price". So, double check the prices before ordering. I do not recommend.

The food is good, but the menu could be extended as there aren’t many options to choose from. The staff’s attitude was ok, but they seemed tired/bored and not very welcoming.

The food was great but it was very loud in there it was horrible.

Good food and good atmosphere..

I’ve only got take away therefore cannot comment on the location or facilities. The food was great and tasty and will definitely come back for more.

The best Romanian Restaurant in London. I truly had a wonderful time with my family. Miguel it's such a great and welcoming host. The food it's amazingly tasty and it keeps the originality of the Romanian great recipes. I recommend this place from the bottom of my heart, for an unforgettable time. Thank you Hanul Lautarilor Watford for reminding us how tasty and great our cuisine is ❤️ also for your professionalism and quality. Keep up the good work and we will definitely see you soon to taste more of your recipes 🥘🍛🍲🥖🥓🥔

Got Sarmale and Rooster soup. The rooster soup was to die for, the Sarmale, on the other hand, were ok but not shining in any way.

Amazing food and great customer service. Well done!

I do not recommend at all! The lady who served us was not professional at all, she forgot to bring a bottle of mineral water, I had to remind her (this after the rest of the drinks were brought to the table and I was the only person without a drink) and when she brought the water I didn't have I didn't get a glass (I should probably drink from a bottle??) The food wasn't very good, I took a portion of pork alms which was 90% fat, no meat at all..then I had an extra portion of eggplant salad when I only asked for one..and on top of all that, there was no option not to leave a tip because when the bill comes the service charge is included. Don't go if you want to get nervous!

Worst place I have ever been most of the good reviews must be faked. This place is very dangerous for unaccompanied women

1 star with indulgence! I understand that in a restaurant there must be a pleasant atmosphere, but still eat in the dark? Not having a bit of light and needing to turn on the flash on the phone to see what's on your plate? Not to mention that the food had no taste. The music was excessively loud for such a small place, you couldn't even hear your thoughts, let alone carry on conversations with those at the table. In fact, in this place you just have to drink until you're drunk and throw your money at the fiddles. Oh, I forgot to mention how hapsani the violinists are! When the Romanian gets to give money, he can't get enough! If you want to make a dedication and ask for a certain song, you are asked "How much do you pay for me to sing you this song?". More recently, they also bid for dedications, "which gives more?".

I recommend. Very good food and service.

Food was great , tasty and enough portion. Reason why not given 5 , because the service (waiter) should be more friendly and welcoming the customers. At this time , the waiter was more focused on her personal phone rather then pay attention to the customers.

Everything was good except the food...in my opinion, the chef should be changed.

Appalling attitude from the doorman there- incredibly rude and obnoxious! Will never set foot in this place ever again!

The staff leaves a lot to be desired, when you come somewhere to relax, you also want a pleasant atmosphere, 3 times I tried to enter through the front door, I was blocked and no apology, the patience of the waiter is at "0", it is normal to have more people indecisive when the menu doesn't correspond, the menu is not complete and you have no idea what to order, you have to ask: do you have this, that? The rules are unclear, given below, given below and etc, the music is really exaggeratedly loud. What what saved the evening were the fiddlers, that's all))) I repeat myself, the staff leaves a lot to be desired, what's up with the "0" tag, especially considering that people leave hard money there, treat them more politely.

Good food, impeccable service, good music

A particularly pleasant service, the place is completely taken care of 😍 The food tastes like home 😋. 💪

Nearly gave it 5, very good, but the composition in Watford is fearce, so it is difficult to single out bests, but there are also plenty of very average places, this was above the average.

I've been there for a special occasion and felt super great in a very romanian traditional atmosphere with fun music,tasty food and definitely too much drink 🤭🙈 The place is awesome ,nice and friendly staff!

Good food, nice atmosphere, fast service, good music just too loud, I left with a headache 😔

I am forced to add a star but from my side you have 0. Like serving 0. As long as I sat at the table I sat with the soup in front of me and I couldn't get up. I had an uncomfortable meal, the young lady/lady who served us had long and loose hair, I saw her putting her hand in her hair so that for me it was disgusting, you put your hand in your hair and smell on the plates!!! The menu is incomplete, we ordered platters that were not on the menu, so that at the end we would have a surprise at the price, double the price compared to other restaurants, so clearly, seeing that we are new customers, they inflated the bill. We were supposed to receive the remainder of the £10 bill and we only received £5, apart from the service charge. The first and last time we go to this place. I do not recommend!!!

Good food, atmosphere, strong drinks....wery busy in the weekend.

Very nice place and excellent food 👌 The waiter Miguel excellent service ! Definitely we will come again ! ❤

The music made a perfect experience and good service from all the stuff people who were working on that day

Nice food. Nice place. We will come back.

The so-called Christmas party was destroyed with the help of "Cafe Bar / Restaurant Hanul Lautarilor". The menu was like "Holiday / Almsgiving". Atmosphere 0.

Thanks for the 3 and a half hour round trip from Southampton on Sunday evening only to find that the schedule displayed on Google maps is not updated...

Fffffff nice and pleasant with the staff who. It serves you right

Romanian food highly recommended, best quality and music too....

Recommended place Party and music all night long even with professional dancers in the tables

Superb, friendly staff, pleasant environment, I warmly recommend

It's serious and ugly when two customers discuss the fact that they didn't like the way they were kicked out literally at closing time without being notified beforehand: like: Okay, let's all leave because it's late and the police are coming.. ..and the bodyguards there hear the conversation between 2 clients and tells them: Don't even catch you here! ....it's just a model of uneducated and disorganized staff.

The best Romanian restaurant, good music, good food, impeccable service, the best waiter Răzvan, thank you
