Namaste Watford in Watford

Lovely food and great atmosphere!

Visited this place on a Friday night. Waited 20 minutes for menus to be brought over, waited another 20 minutes for drinks to come out and they didn’t bring the poppodoms we ordered. Eventually over an hour after arrival, starters arrived. The chicken Tikka tough and rubbery, cremated. The same with the chicken wings, very dry and not at all pleasant. No flavour on these either, just plain. The Paneer tikka was the only dish we didn’t mind eating but again lacked flavour. The chilli garlic mogo should be called Ketchup mogo. We left after starters, had to argue with them to remove the poppodoms that never arrived as well as not paying service charge. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Is this a club or restaurant? Because of Diwali party they have arranged the DJ but it was sooooo loud specially in tiny restaurant that we could not be able to eat and waiters / managers was not be able to even listen and asking me to repeat the same thing more than 5 time which is annoying. Of course of having DJ in Diwali party but in very small dining is irritating. When we have requested to lower the voice a little bit, instead of professional explanation, manager keep telling us that they have spent thousands of pound on DJ so they gonna use them and ask if we want to leave in the middle of the food. We have been on the table for half an hour but haven’t even serve the water. We did not get even the glass for waters. The food is not good as well. We have been to the restaurant where DJ is for everyday but there is the difference between club and restaurants /(Giant restaurant).

Totally amazing and genuine Indian food, fantastic customer service from waiters / waitresses and managers.

We ate very well and were warmly welcomed. The meal was delicious, and the friendly atmosphere made our experience even more enjoyable.

We were very well received and ate very well in this restaurant.

We were visiting the area for the Warner Brothers studio tour and ate dinner here. The food was all delicious. Service was great, the waiter was happy to make recommendations and adapt the food. We tried several dishes we hadn’t had before and loved them all. Would recommend!

Oct 2024 • Family Never been before and it was my wedding anniversary so me wife and kids thought we would try as never been and the reviews and food looked great - mistake Firstly walked in no table ready for us they looked confused not very organised e where sat by the front where all the outside orders are collected and those people didn’t look happy at wait times Then we where left for 15 mins before we then asked for a drink then 5 mins later a menu was put on table not ounce did we get a welcome or thanks for coming to be honest the manager other man and two girls all looked like headless chickens not knowing what the other was doing There seemed to be a lot of people waiting for food The couple beside us where getting annoyed and eventually got cold tikka but where to nice to send it back as they where hungry 20 mins in we got drinks just put on end of table beer was flat Never have I not been welcomed and offered popadoms straight away in any curry house And I come from Wembley and there’s loads of fantastic ones so sad So after twenty five mins I called another curry house 5 mins away and asked if they had a table yes sir I was told I paid left manager didn’t seem apologetic and just took the drink money all the time people looked hungry We left within 15 mins I was welcomed in to new place given drinks and popadoms and asked for our starters food was amazing atmosphere was 10 staff attentive Indian sizzler saved our night this will be our new place to eat I’m so sorry for this review but you have busy restaurant and don’t know how to run it’s sad as the place was busy but outside orders where queueing up Never again That’s a £230 bill you lost as customer service was terrible new girl will not last long Thanks not mr smith

I ordered on the website over the weekend, with my chosen pick up time being an hour after placing the order. Despite arriving on time for collection, I ended up waiting an extra half an hour in the restaurant for my order, with someone who arrived 25 minutes after me receiving theirs before I did. What made this quite frustrating is that there was no explanation for the delay while I was waiting, and no apology for the wait when I did receive my order. The food itself was great, but I wouldn't rush back after the experience I had in the restaurant.

Excellent food ,good value aswell highly recommend

Very nice food at good price. Music in the background not too loud, not distracting.

Always a great experience when we visit

Felt like I was eating authentic Indian food... One can visit and it's affordable.

Just found this place. It was a last minute thing. The manger and the staff was so accommodating. The food was top class. I will be back .

Always the best taste, one to the best restaurant in my list in london.Big yes to foodies recommend

Good experience. Worth asking for whats new and not on menu ie Soya chaap and honey chilli Potatoes.

Excellent service and food. Proper Indian chefs. Good variety and reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommended for all occasions.

Great food and good value for money. Friendly staff and not crowded. Comfortable atmosphere. Will definitely return when back in Watford

Good food and well priced. Good sized portions in fact had some left iver which were offered to take away. Highly recommended

An excellent service and the food is superb. The restaurant catered for our dietary requirements which included the level of spice. We highly recommend.

What a delightful experience. Staff so warm and friendly. The highest standard of cleanliness and food was outstanding. We will definitely be back.

My go to Indian takeaway! Plenty of delicious Vegan options and friendly staff. Would highly recommend this place. Also lovely sized venue for family celebrations. A must try. Very happy to see such a range of vegetable dishes suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians. Compliments and gratitude to the chefs and whole Namaste team 🙏🏻 ☺️

Food was delicious! Will highly recommend to all. Atmosphere was nice. Service was great!

Went to Namaste Watford today with some friends, after so long and frankly the best Indian cuisine I’ve had in the UK. Congratulations to the team keep up the good work and keep feeding food lovers like myself.

Food was amazing , best authentic tasting curry in Watford , prices decent , Mango lasi 10/10

Tastiest Indian food for the best price. Very balanced menu of vegetarian and meat dishes. Fairly small menu but they have mastered every dish 👩‍🍳😘

Friendly owner and staff. Lovely tasting food and fast service. Would definitely return again. The only feedback would be to improve the exterior to make it more welcoming to people as we thought it was initially closed when we arrived.

Good host, yummy food, decent ambience and very friendly staff who took extra effort to make our group enjoy the birthday celebration.

Dinner was lovely. We enjoyed it with my family. 😊

In town from San Diego for Harry Potter Studio and wanted Indian after we were done and Namaste was a quick Uber. The staff was super helpful to provide recommendations, everything they recommended was amazing, some of the best lamb and naan we have had!!! I highly recommend!!!

one of the only place in Watford that has the real Indian food. We've been having their food for long time now and they've been consistent in their food quality. Glad something like this opened up in watford

First time in an Indian restaurant. Absolutely great. I am not a fan of Indian food in general , but this was delicious! Great job guys.

I've been living in the area for 25 years and never knew about this place. Absolutely amazing food and service! I went with my husband and two adult children and it was great. We will definitely be going there again!

So ambience. Foods are delicious and quantity is also good.

Great food and great service. Friendly staff!! Must go!!

Me & my family - we are vegetarians and foodies. We used to search for authentic Indian taste. Tried many, so-called Indian restaurants in Watford and journey stopped here! The restaurant offers a range of dishes, each with authentic Indian flavors reminiscent of the best restaurants I visited in India. The menu is thoughtfully crafted with vegetarian options. My personal favorites are Masala Pappad, Crispy Bhajiya, Chili Mushroom in appetizer and Paneer Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Methi Corn, Tadka Dal in mains. Mains typically goes well with Garlic Naan. Jira Rice or Veg Biryani at the end... treat! My meat eating friend couldn't distinguish yesterday between chicken-tikka He likes and "Soya Chhaap" we ordered, yum! After more than two years of consistently great food and service, I can confidently recommend Namaste Watford to anyone looking for delicious vegetarian options and authentic Indian cuisine. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Friendly and attentive staff makes experience perfect :)

Great food and hospitality, highly recommended.

Really lovely place and good food.

Good food good service, will be coming back

Both me and my boyfriend agreed it’s are new favourite Indian restaurant! Service was quick and they had a good explanation of the menu, portion sizes are great and the veg samosa starter was the best we’ve had in a while :) Chips also came on a bicycle, kinda cool :)

Very good food with lovely staff and very cooperative. Soya champ Daal tadka Bread basket Have been eating here for Last 4 year... quality has been consistent and improving

Average food, little ok service that’s all I can say

Good indian food, enjoyed biryani, Malay Kofta and Veg Kuram and nice service, importantly it is very authentic. As starter they served veg corn soup for free which is my favourite back in India

A true Gem of Watford restaurants A vegetarian’s delight. Every single dish is authentic and every single dish is unique. None of the dishes have the same base sauce. Best dish ever discover is their veg kholapuri. Their staff are genuinely welcoming and really attentive.

The food really authentic, i really enjoyed the starters, more specifically the chilli chicken and the lamb chops which were just perfect. Highly recommend this place for a nice family meal.

There is nothing negative to say about this place! The service was on point, we had Freya taking care of us, but the whole staff was active, efficient, and helpful. The food was amazing! Our one regret is that we didn’t order the biryani but that just means we get to go back for it again. The puri were excellent, our onion and crispy bhaji were delicious, the garlic naan was awesome, the butter chicken was very good, and the yogurt side was such high quality and added to all of the other items we got. And all of this for a good price!! I would surely recommend to anyone and I will go back to Watford to eat there again!

Such a lovely place with yummy food!

My sister took me to her favourite restaurant and food was really good. Staff are friendly and attentive

U want to feel u are eating food in India then this one feels the most authentic. Good taste and good helpings. Quite the softest naan I have ever eaten.

Great food and friendly staff, will be returning.

Excellent restaurant, great atmosphere and tasty food

We had a fantastic time at Namaste Watford! 🍛 Tried mogo for the first time, and it was delicious! Their butter chicken is the best in town! 😋 The staff was very friendly and kind, did not hesitate to answer any of our questions! Highly recommend this place for a delightful dining experience! 🌟🍽️

We had such an amazing experience at Namaste Watford .. the staff the food the service was spot on . The food is like Mumbai . I am never gonna miss Mumbai now . The dahi puri was yummy the sev garnished was like you get in Mumbai . The pani puri was so yumm perfect blend of tastes of mint and coriander n all spices . The paneer curry and the malai kofta was rich and creamy even my son loved it . Starters were very good . Mogo chips was Spot on with Mumbai style Chinese taste . We met the owner Mr Rajput so down or earth . The lassi was like Mumbai tasted so yummy and creamy best thing it was not made from concentrated mango but real mango cubes . Keep up the good work don’t let the quality go down or taste ever . Good luck for future

Tried Soya Chaap for the first time and loved it!!! Highly recommend ordering this and veg kolhapuri😋. Will be definitely returning…! Thank you Divya and Manish for a lovely evening 😄

We had a great experience here with the owner Mr Jaiswal taking very good care of us and having made jain food to cater to us and our requirements, we had extremely delicious daal tadka and kolhapuri veg which were well prepared and they made for us on short notice. Appreciate the efforts and lovely dinner after a long day. Thankyou and wish you the best for a bright future !

Awesome food and good dining experience overall.

This is a lovely place & lovely lovely food. We were a group of 10 having 4 jain so they made a lovely Jain food for us. Please visit this place if your visiting Harry Potter. Don't miss visiting other wise as well if near by this place.

Great food, spicy but not too spicy. Food delivered quick and hot. service was good, it got busy later on Overall a thoroughly enjoyable evening, the location of the venue was just a little further than I was expecting a mere 20 minutes from Watford junction station. I will be visiting again for sure well done 👍

Food and service are awesome. Highly recommended

Namaste Watford has become one of our frequent go-to spots, and the food is always fantastic! 🍽️✨ The flavors are authentic, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious cuisine in Watford.

We had a fantastic experience celebrating my mother’s birthday. The food was not only delicious but also served in very generous portions, which everyone appreciated. The staff were absolutely wonderful and welcoming, especially Bharghav. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable occasion.

First time here and was very good ,the food was tastey and meat cooked on point we had the Lamb kaheri and the chicken tikka Masala both delicious. Service was outstanding and friendly

Best taste and excellent service

Really lovely food. Such friendly staff. A pleasure to eat here. They ask how spicy you would like the food. I was impressed that we were offered a pani puri as an ‘amuse bouche’. Will come here again. Feels like a family business

Food was excellent staff was very friendly great customer service would recommend to anyone best food in Watford 10/10 😍

Lovely food and lovely service best food in Watford in my opinion garlic chilli mojos is the bomb and so is the cobra on the draught

The food is always amazing and at a really good price. Great for vegetarians too. The service was really quick and the waiter was really friendly. Would highly recommend.

In short: we had a great meal. 2 adults, 1 child. We all like Indian food and were not disappointed. Probably more non-meat items on the menu than meat items. We had prawns, chilli garlic mogo and samosas to start, then chicken tikka massala and korai chicken, plus naan and rice. Really good value for money. This is maybe the 5th or 6th time we have eaten here, and will be doing so again! Very relaxed atmosphere - and most importantly the staff were lovely! See you again soon.

Excellent quality food. Spiced to whatever level you like. Highly recommended. Probably my favourite “curry house” in Watford

I had a pleasant experience in this lovely restaurant with my friends. The food and service were excellent. It's top marks from us.

Good little local restaurant with nice owner. Food is actually really tasty and different compared to other similar in the area. Refreshing change and worth a look in. I will be back

We ordered chicken tikka masala and curry was very delicious.

Amazing Indian food , amazing service by mihir Chauhan

The least oily Indian food I've found. The dishes are cooked to perfection without being greasy.

Really enjoyed the flavours of food here. Owner met us who was really friendly and welcoming. All the staff were helpful.

Good place for friends and family to chill..good food,good drinks..and great staff

The best Indian restaurant in watford, don't miss the butter chicken

Top notch food and service. I marked atmosphere down a bit because there were so few diners. People are missing out! I hope to return. Admittedly, I used a Gormet Society card to reduce the size of the bill with an offer of 2 for 1 on 3 dishes.

Very nice food with great service

Good service n tasty food. I recommend it. Honest service. I liked it. I went couple of times to this place. Really good service and tasty food.

We had a party for 20 pax and it couldn't have been better.

The food is great, very reasonably priced. Lots of choice for both veg and non-veg. The staff are really welcoming and the restaurant is really clean. Would definitely recommend and go again.

Lovely place, food is really fresh and tasty. The owners are really welcoming and the place has a very chilled atmosphere. We normally do take out from here but dined inside for the first time and was very pleased with the service 😊

Excellent real Indian food, free papad extras and hot food, it was a nice dinner Thank you,

Once inside and past the exterior, service was friendly and engaging and eager to please. Portions were quite fair and the best masala papads I have had in a long while. Inside interior isn’t my style but the staff made us feel welcome. Food was good but all I would say is that our bill was quite high considering I did not have a main course. Not enough vegetarian curries on the menu either but it was ok. Nan was ok needed more butter. Would give it another go. Being friendly is great these days as it is so often forgotten.

Good customer service and good food. Excellent service from Mihir

Really nice place. Food is excellent and generous portion sizes. Staff were very attentive and polite. Excellent service.

Order did not turn up, driver didn’t wait for me to open the door and left with my food. Second bad experience with just eat and nameste Watford

Had a great time with family at the restaurant. Being the middle of week it was not very crowded. Fantastic yummy food, really enjoyed the hospitality! I recommend a visit...
