Kismat Tandoori Restaurant in Watford

Amazing food! First time and will definitely be ordering again

Lovely food. Easy to place order with secure payment. Prompt and polite delivery too.

The Food was really nice the staff service was amazing as they make you feel very welcome and the price is very resonable I recommend

Very good food, service and staff were great and very welcoming will definitely be going back

Food tastes good but the CHICKEN vindaloo had several large POTATOES which makes me feel somewhat cheated. Other than that all was good.

Taste was fine but honestly food portion is not justified based on its Price.

Overall great. It ws a delicious feast but the prawn vindaloo did not contain as much prawn as orders from other places

Delivered on time, hot and delicious. first time we have ordered from this restaurant and not the last !

Food was awesome, just the right amount of chilli

Went here last night with friends it was my first visit and I was blown away the food is definitely 10 out of 10 and the manager and his staff are fantastic people I can't wait to return 😊 👍

Woeful.. Totally inept. Service has never been great here. Lack of staff doesn't help. After nearly two hours had to leave with no sign of the main courses and the manager unable to say when they might arrive despite being asked 3 times where the food is. Not the first time either, plenty of other Indians around so avoid this one

Lovely service from lovely people, the food was great and big portions

Yooooooooo!!!!. BEST PESHWARI NAAN IVE EVER HAD!!!!!!!. The intense yellow colour of it's inside had me suspicious at first but then I tasted it....end of story on that one looool. the sauces were phenomenal. both the mint yougurt and mango chutney. the chicken tikka biryani with veg curry was nice and not too oily which is good. lastly the fish masala...very lovely although I meant to order the fish madras hahaha. The fish masala is sweet and tasted quite similar to the peshwari.

food was early which was great ,had a nice meal for 2 we both really enjoyed it, and will using this take away again

The place is cold and not very welcoming. The staff are very slow and had to wait ages for our food and the restaurant was empty. portion's are very small not a lot of meat just in lots of sauce. I got a prawn dish there was 4 prawns in it and they were burnt I couldn’t eat them. They are under staffed 2 waiters and very unorganised. Will not go again and would not recommend to friends as they will come out hungry.

Food very average. Sorry but it was. Prices on your own website are not up to date, as from the time of ordering. Some older google reviews are from the old restaurant years ago (chutneys), when this (kismat) is a fairly new business 1 or 2 years! Lamb was tough in one dish, and not much chicken in the other, but the mushroom rice was good for the price. I am comparing you with the lots of other curry houses in the watford/bushey area, some are good, some not so! But with that competition you really need to up your game tbh. I hope you take on board this advice to compete. Good luck m

The food was delivered within the estimated window. This took longer than expected but it was not so bad considering that it was Valentine's Day. The food itself was excellent. The complimentary poppadoms were a pleasantly tasty surprise. The only negatives were that the there were only 2 each of the delicious lamb chops and samosas.

Kismat Tandoori is just simply amazing! The food is so tasty. Nothing more to say about the food really. It’s just really good quality and they have such a wide range of food choices. The service is unbelievable! Everyone who has served me in this restaurant has been so kind to me. They take time to talk to me a lot and they make me feel so welcome I’m their restaurant. The atmosphere is wonderful here too. Everyone is nice in here and they play lots of nice music as well. The atmosphere is so good here and you would ever feel uncomfortable. The restaurant has very nice decoration and everything is so pretty and nicely spread out. Of of this restaurants best aspects is that every Monday and Wednesday they do a special deal. £14.95 for a starter, main, vegetable side, and rice dish. 4 items for that amazing price! Kismat Tandoori is one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to. Everyone must check this please out.

Food was nice. Second time ordering but this time the curries and rices weren’t as flavourful. The naans were good though.

watery tasteless sauce and chewy chicken

First time I've ordered from here. Would've given 5 stars but sadly the meal was nearly cold when it arrived, needed to reheat it all 😕

This is a good restaurant. All the food is very tasty. Especially the prawn is very delicious . I went last sunday. All staff are friendly.

Tried this new restaurant/ delivery on a recommendation. Food was generous in portion sizes, good amount of meat and all had great flavour. Complimentary poppadom too and salad / sauce with the bhajis. Will definitely be using again.

Fantastic food perfectly cooked with plenty of flavour fast delivery so piping hot too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Well this has to be the best local find for Indian cuisine. The food is excellent only outshone by they wonderful staff. Not over the top but lovely atmosphere and nice ambiance. Try it if you like old style friendly service with great food.

Outstanding service and delicious food. We came here and we ate a banquet for super good price. At the end we even have hot towels. Thanks for your service and kindness. Both male waiters where super helpful and hospitable, without pushing us and helping with our selection. I am a Bangladeshi food convert.

Have been there 5 times now. The sevice is great as is the food. Would highly recommend.

Really looked after us, polite and professional service. Really lovely food. Couldn't fault it. Bring your own booze just so you know, plenty of places locally to buy from.

Lovely food. Arrived hot and was very tasty.

The vindaloo was lovely and tasty, the garlic naan soft and saag aloo very tasty to. recommend you try,

Food was excellent! Will be using them again.

good taste and service, highly recommended place to go for a good Indian meal. Definitely going back!

Went today (bank holiday Monday) we went early so was very quiet. Food was absolutely delicious. Prawn puri, and onion bhaji starters. Mains...chicken Ceylon & chicken dhansak really , really delicious. Will definitely be going back. Lovely helpful staff.

Went there for the first time last night. Great food, great service and a good price. Will definitely visit again. 5 star 🌟

Every time just gets better. Lovely freshly cooked food, great service and very relaxed.

I know the person that works here he use to own Rabbanis up the town He did not fail then the food is top of The range you will not be disappointed he will make it to your taste. An delivery is fast under half a hour

My Korai chicken jalfrezi was fresh and tasty. I’d have liked it spicier but I think tomorrow’s leftovers will be hotter after it’s chillies have had more time in it. A lamb tikka masala for something mild. It was thick and creamy/nutty like a oassander and also tasty if not a little too red. I also had a nice tarka dal and a veg stuffed paratha. Nothing was oily or greasy. Popadoms with a fresh onion salad and mint raitha was a nice touch.

Driver was rude when tried to ask why it was late and no contact from restaurant if there was to be a delay

New restaurant and thoroughly recommended. Food is fresh and not greasy and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Been twice now and will be back again. Keep up the good work Kismat. S&D, WD19

Disappointing.... Ordered early (1630) for a 1735 delivery. That time passed and then updated to 1740, then updated to 1805. Finally delivered around 1759. Driver apologised and said he'd only been requested  18 minutes ago. No harm done. Then found my order was missing essential items. Ordered a  dansak balti chicken tikka, which on the menu said came with pilau rice, pakora, naan bread. There was no rice or pakora. Just a cold naan with a popadom. So I had to make my own rice. To be fair the dansak balti chicken tikka was very tasty. I know they have only just opened and they are local so I wanted to give them some custom. I had a flyer dropped thru my door so I thought I'd give them ago using Just Eat. The flyer that came with the order had the pilau rice and pakora tipexed out. But its still shown on the online menu. If I'd known I would've ordered something else.

I'm afraid the food was not great - tasty and fresh but very watery

I requested no salt in my food and the chef sent an amazing meal …the chicken biryani was delicious, fresh and perfect. I like to have mine with Greek yoghurt and cucumber. The veg samosa was so good, not greasy, and chapati was like home made. And delivered with poppadoms and lovely sides of onions, raita , and mango chutney.

Decent flavours but where was the rest of it?? Portion sizes were very stingy for the price. Not even half a Tupperware containers worth.

Unexpectedly good food with the emphasis on quality, not quantity. Quite different from 'standard', Indian cuisine - little or no evidence of ghee, yet beautifully cooked dishes with excellent flavours that I've not encountered before... Living locally, I will certainly be back, though probably using the takeaway service! 👍

Did take away tonight Was very satisfied with the food Well done

A slight problem with the ordering process was more than rectified by the nice manager who apogised profusely and gave me some freebies. The food was very tasty and well prepared. Will go again.

What a lovely restaurant, fantastic food and service, highly recommend. I definitely will be going back

Have had two excellent takeaways from here recently. Freshly cooked, tasty, good portions. Delivery friendly and on time. Recommended

Excellent food, amazing prawns! 😊

My first visit, and really should have come here earlier, and enjoyed it so much thinking already of the next. Some very interesting items on the menu that I would like to explore more in future visits. Delicious quality food and we all thought that. Will certainly try to visit on quiet days so we can enjoy the discussions and advice there. So lucky to have a restaurant like this i can walk to.

Had a takeaway after my son recommended. Very impressed, spicey when it was supposed to be, flavoursome and fresh. We will definitely be back, and now can dine in too, great! Thanks so much for a great takeaway, delivery man was super cheerful which I also appreciated.

Super polite staff, delicious food and a first order discount! Will be back for sure.

Food is just about ok. Its Bangladeshi preparation style I believe. I would not think it is 5 stars by any stretch of imagination. I have had much better food

Best indian in Hertfordshire by a mile food is amazing just read other reviews who all say the same thing.

Very happy with this, prawns were amazing. Young gentlemen known as Karim was great!

I've lived here for over 20 years and this is by far the best Indian food and service there is in the area. I was simply impressed with both the veg and non-veg, as was my family. I will most definitely be ordering from them again! 😊

Our local Indian and our go to. Really friendly service and the food is excellent. Cannot recommend the Prawn Puri more highly and the staff are always happy to make a recommendation 😊 when not in Lockdown, good to eat in.

Ordered take away from here for the first time yesterday. Ready promptly and was pretty damn good. Will have to eat in next time

Been to Taaza a number of times and the food is absolutely delicious! The staff is friendly and always happy to see me and my partner. They also compliant with all of the covid regulations. Happy to recommend!

Just had a takeaway delivered food is amazing delivery guy found my address was a gentleman sorry had no change will be ordering and visiting the restaurant very soon again xx

A hidden gem. The food was delicious, I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu. Well worth it

Best Indian takeaway I've had in a long time, amazing food and the staff are lovely, would highly recommend and looking forward to ordering again or eating in very soon!!

The best authentic asian food in watford outstanding

Best curry that I have ever had

Food was lovely. The gentleman that served us was excellent aswell. Great restaurant to visit.

Was a nice cosy restorant now called Tawaz you can get a set meal for £12.95 starter main,nans or rice thats on Mondays. Staff was nice friendly.family run restorant.lovely deco really liked it.one of the chicken starters wasn't all that bland I must say and also only got 2 small pieces I thaught that wasn't worth it nore did it taste good.also sheek kebabs starter was lovely but again 2 small pieces could have done with bit more specially because of the cost.mains was lovely tasty.had chicken balti and cod curry wow really nice.could have had a thicker curry sauce to go with it but still amazing taste i thaught.they didnt have salt or pepper pots small things make big differences though so because of the little niggly bits I've given it a 4 star but I would highly recommend it and im sure ill be coming back soon. But pls sort these little things out to make it a 5 star.thank you.

Re-launched as Taaza - you MUST try this!! I was completely blown away today. The old Chutneys had grown tired and very average. Taaza is like a phoenix from the ashes. Brand new decor, and more importantly, a fresh new menu. And what’s more the menu is executed perfectly. The food was simply amazing. And I don’t mean bog standard amazing. The food is high end amazing. Tasty, well presented. It has been a very long time since I had Indian food this good. You have to try the sardine starter. The biriani is made properly with a pastry sealed lid. Monk fish curry delicious. Dahl as it should be. This place has had care and love injected back into it and it shows massively. Well done to the team. If you can keep this standard up you will blow away the competition. Amazing. Folks try this place. Best in Watford at the very least, probably the best in the South. UPDATE - I went back again this week. Folks, I can confirm that my first visit was not just a one off. I once again had excellent service and really really really good food. This place is going to be very popular. There was a group of people who had travelled from North London sitting (socially distanced) behind us. I am so pleased this place is on our doorstep and I wish Taaza every success - boy oh boy you deserve it!

“Nicest experience i have had in Watford,. A very nice restaurant, excellent friendly service, and high quality authentic food, will definitely be returning very soon”

Really friendly staff, great quality food, fantastic service and a perfect night out.

Fantastic food. Tasty , not oily , friendly Covid friendly staff. Best curry I’ve had for ages !!! Well done.

Just re-opened under the new name Taaza. Very quiet as restaurants start to re-open due to COVID but they looked after us really well. They have a smaller and very nicely laid out menu so it's easier to choose your food options. ✔✔✔ Please give them some much needed support! Will definitely go again 😍🙂😍

Excellent restaurant! Great authentic indian food, i enjoyed their king prawns so much

I and my boyfriend, we had the best curry at Chutneys restaurant, just amazing!!!!

Nice food. Friendly staff. Good value.

Wonderful restaurant. A great place for Indian food. Staffs are always kind and humble and serve a good quality food. Worth the money. Recommend everyone to enjoy your moments and food.

Walked in for a takeaway, quick service, left with our food 10/15 minutes later nice food, great onion bhaji, friendly staff 10% discount for collecting our food easy parking nearby (on a Sunday ) would like to go back to eat in.

The place was cold and the staff personalityless but polite. Food fresh but lacked a little flavour. Cheap eat out. Tandoori mixed grill

Really tasty food. The food is always delicious and the staff are fantastic. Always feel so welcome when we come here. You really can't beat the service! The owner always comes over and personally makes sure you've had a great dining experience. Highly recommend and will most definitely be returning!

Delicious food, friendly staff great for group dining

This is basically a Restorent where Indian food as well as Bangladeshi food is served with atmost care and perfection. There is always a queue of customers here. The food is always served hot as well as fresh every day. The staff of this Restaurant is very very cooperative and customer friendly. All types of debit and credit cards are also accepted here. Customers love to come here again and again.Take away facility is also a available here.

Had a wonderful meal. The food was delicious and the service was second to none. Couldn't do enough for us. We stayed talking long after our food and they were totally welcoming the whole time. Accept the Taste card too. Will be going back 100%

Really loved both the vegetarian and non vegetarian food we had at Chutneys. Strongly recommend and will come again

Visited 14/04, looking forward to a nice meal with friends following Oxhey's 'Brewfest'. Sadly, that was not to be... 1 hour 20 minute wait for the starter, which was sadly a 'very overcooked' lamb chop. Main order was cancelled due to another long wait expected of 20+ minutes, as a minimum - worst culinary experience in a long time! The only part of the visit that wasn't a disappointment was the bottled Kingfisher, which met expectations... Need to get your act together guys or risk losing custom!

Very attentive service. Very good food.

Lovely little curry house near Bushey station, lots of parking available near by and easy walking distance from Bushey high street and the surrounding neigbourhood Delicious food and really friendly staff with good value anyway but buffet nights on Wednesdays and Sundays where you get so much food for such great value

Amazing food and service, always top class

We are happy when we go to chutneys they are food service realy good I can say every one can go there If love indian food please order chutneys and they will give you very speacial offer if you order over £20 get 15% off and order over £40 you wii ge 20% off

All food freshly cooked. Chicken chat was very tasty. Service was very good for our party of 13. Small restaurant so groups advised to book. Wiĺl definitely go back.

The starter of prawn puree was absolutely delicious! The vegetarian main was nice but a bit salty for me and I feel it could've been seasoned with garlic for example instead of excessive salt. The rice was a little greasy. Overall I would go again, it was a good price and others around the table seemed to enjoy their meals too.

Fabulous food, traditional family restaurant.

pooja shahs home made food is the best

overall very oily and not very tasty. Ordered Chana Masala which had no gravy and no taste. Aloo Chat Puri where quite sweet and very oily. Delivery was fast.

THE place for a curry if you are in Bushey/Oxhey. The location is a bit rubbish, (near the railway arches) but once inside you can be sure of an excellent dining experience at affordable prices. The bhunas and jalfrazis never disappoint!
