Nana's in Watford

My wife and I visited Watford recently to scout out Harry Potter tour logistics. We love Middle Eastern type food and chose Nana's. We were there at lunch on a Saturday and it was very quiet in the restaurant. Server was not overly friendly and felt like we were bothering her. We were only ones in the restaurant so should have been different. Food was solid. BYOB which was nice touch (with small corkage fee).

What a fabulous evening with friends. Great service, food and belly dancer too. Atmosphere was fantastic but music a little too loud for us to be able to chat. Would definitely go back. Set menu was good but meat selection was quite small. Recommend.

Popped in for a late lunch. Food was very delicious and service was great. Gutted we don't live closer to get take away. Great meal.

Authentic, delicious and amazing Lebanese food... @nanaswatford is a beautiful, cozy and a very friendly family-run restaurant in Watford. This is top notch good quality with the authentic taste on each item. We ordered kibbeh, falafel, spicy wings and hummus for starters, followed by chicken shawarma platter and lamb meshwi with rice, 2 Cokes for us and a strawberry milkshake for the little one. Everything was spot on, tasted perfect and the vibe was just right about the dine-in area, the smiling and respectful people and also the ambience. The owners run the place, from preparing the food, to service and they take pride in everything they do, which is highly admired. 10/10 on everything! Must visit recommended!

Excellent service. Good was great. Will make a come back soon.

Very tasty cuisine. I recommend.

Really nice place with excellent food, great service and a really nice atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Lovely family busines, great food, fantastic atmosphere especially when dancers are in 💛

Excellent food. Good place to eat when you wait for bus to Warner Bross Studio (Harry Potter)

I had the lamb/chicken/beef set (16£) and it was decent. I chose rice for the set menu, but as expected, the rice did not suit Korean tastes. If possible, I recommend fried potatoes. Lemon tea (3£ / fresh lemon) was also delicious. (+ a spoonful of sugar) The serving man was so friendly that my satisfaction level increased.

I come here regularly with my girlfriend for date nights and we always have a great time. We go to the shisha lounge at the back which is very well decorated and has a perfect music playlist to enjoy whilst eating. The shisha is well priced and good quality and the food is delicious. I would highly recommend the chicken shawarma!

Always a pleasure to eat at Nana's. Food has such depth of flavour and plenty of options. Nearly always go 'veggie' but chicken and calamari are tasty too. Been lucky to eat at many restaurants home and abroad over the years- Nana's falafel are still the best!

Excellent food, great prices and nice atmosphere!

Was heading for pizza but past this place and menu looked good. Great food and staff attentive, food was lush, im a meet eater but Vegetarian Mousakka was insane in my opinion.

If i could give 6 stars i would. Very clean restaurant, service is as fast as it can be for food made fresh. One of the best shawarmas ive ever had. If you come here, try the Knafeh it will astonish you. Customer service is 10/10. Ive been here 3 times and not once have i been disappointed.

Took 40 minutes to get a shawarma for takeaway. Possibly the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have no idea how or who has given them the number 1 rating for the best restaurant in Watford. They are not even the best restaurant on that road?

This place was excellent! I love supporting family owned and it did not disappoint. The food was spectacular and the staff was phenomenal. I have a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate me. Will definitely come back my next trip!

Fantastic food, service and value for money! We were immediately made to feel welcome. With the guidance of the owner we selected a number of different mezze to share. They all tasted great and really complimented each other. The decor of the restaurant may be simple, but we could not fault the food and service. Taste over tablecloths any time! We had a thoroughly enjoyable dinner and will definitely return next tine we are in Watford.

Come once a year every year. Look forward to it each time

My favourite restaurant in Watford. The atmosphere is cozy, complete with the soothing notes of Lebanese music and tasteful decor that immediately sets the tone for an enjoyable meal. Starting with the baba ghanoush and calamari, I found the flavors to be authentic and satisfying. The baba ghanoush comes with sliced pitta bread and is my favourite dish on the menu. For the main course, I opted for the chicken wrap with salad. The portion was generous, and the blend of flavors was both hearty and delicious. Wrapping up the meal with baklava was the perfect sweet. A classic treat that didn't disappoint. The reasonable bill that came to £20 per person. It's rare to find a restaurant that offers such a genuine taste of a cuisine at such an affordable price point.

Nice and clean surroundings, but what's more the cuisine was delicious, a fantastic mix of flavours, just as I imagined from Middle Eastern cuisine! I highly recommend it and greetings from the Czech Republic.

DELICIOUS food, very nice people. You wont regret if you choose this place to eat :)

DELICIOUS food, very nice people, great and pretty enviroment. You wont regret if you choose this place to eat :)

Absolutely delicious meal, great value and all the team members working were great hosts. Great value and I will definitely visit again when I’m back in the area for work. 5 minute walk from the station and Holiday Inn Express hotel.

We came as a group and as such we had to have a set menu which wasn’t an issue. The starter was good, in particular the crispy chicken wings. Unfortunately the main course, which was a mix of chicken and lamb kebabs with rice, was incredibly salty. I don’t mind a bit of salt but it was too much and a bit of a disappointment. Will come back as I suspect it was a one off.

100% authentic! I had a platter & mixed donor kabobs. Out of this world!

Recently came here while visiting Watford. Food was lovely and service was great, will definitely be going again.

We have been frequenting Nana’s for the last 2 years and will continue to come back. The staff go above & beyond to make each visit excellent with exceptional food & entertainment. 10/10 everyone should experience!

The food was okay. The restaurant was empty around 7pm. The table setting was poor, except you like artificial flower pots and old cutlery (fork and knife) that doesn’t match on a serviette. We had starters and main but the waitress told us to keep our cutleries after the starters so we could use them for the main. I found it surprising seeing we were the only ones at the restaurant and our plates were being cleared. The milkshake was watery but tasted nice. Food was affordable. The restaurant didn’t look like the pictures, maybe because we didn’t go upstairs to the shisha lounge. There’s no parking space, you’ll have to look for a spot in the inner roads. I’ll say my experience was a 5.

Had a great time, they had music and the belly dancer on when we went, we shared a shisha to smoke and had a big sharing platter between us all, the food was great. Hosts and hostess’ were friendly and quick to help. Nice easy relaxed and fun atmosphere. Will definitely be going back

A lovely family run restaurant! Great atmosphere, amazing food and very friendly staff. Watford's hidden gem! We had a very good time! ROMA

One of the best places I have ever been 👌🏻 the food and the vibe was absolutely incredible, the service was very quick and the staff was really helpful and friendly

I have a big appetite so had two starters and then a main course. I am vegan which was easy in this Lebanese restaurant. All very tasty. I had sparkling water to drink and it only cost £25 in total. I was also given a bit of baclava on the house.... delicious. I will definitely be back when I'm next working nearby.

What a wonderful family run restaurant serving the most delicious food. Everyone was so welcoming and kind, and the atmosphere was great. 100% would reccomend and can't wait to come again! 😌

nana's is so friendly everyone is great there even the food is amazing. The people there, are friendly and all there communication there is good. They gave me the right ordered and was there for me when I needed something so it was amazing

Very good service and delicious food

The atmosphere is lively, musical and energetic, perfect for a good time, highly recommend.

A lovely family run restaurant. The food was amazing and really extensive I left so full but still wanting more. The Shisha area is also lovely for chilling afterwards and everyone is very friendly. I'm looking forward to coming again.

We had the best lebanese meal ever. Fresh and home cooked. Don’t hesitate to when in Watford. I highly recommend it. Thank you

Délicieux repas! Succulente cuisine libanaise. Toute la famille a adoré. Merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil chaleureux.

Very nice food. We had the tabouleh and lebneh with two mains with grilled meats, rice and couscous. We also had some baklava. The only downside was the spicy chicken wings which were very breaded.

Absolutely delicious food. Plenty of vegetarian options, all freshly prepared. Very friendly staff too. Definitely recommend this place!

What a great place to eat you should try it if only once you will go back thank you for your service love the food

Great evening out, food and service lovely, I will definitely visit again soon, the place so clean and tidy. Thanks Nana,s

Great service! Great food! Great entertainment! Recommend highly. Big up Danny top guy. Will definitely be going back!

Excellent food and experience. Staff were really friendly and really accommodating. The baklava was the best I’ve ever tasted.

Had first courses of baba ganoush, humous, fatoush and falafel. All very good, tasty, warm and delightfully seasoned. Waiter was very nice and friendly

We were made very welcome and the staff were helpful and friendly. All the dishes we selected were really tasty. We knew we needed to take cash and our own alcohol- it was not a problem and was reflected in a relatively low price for...

Came here with my family and the food did not disappoint! The starters were absolutely amazing, all fresh and cooked beautifully to order. Even the mains were 10/10. The staff were lovely and attentive, made us feel very welcomed. Would totally recommend and will definitely...

There's nothing Lebanese about the food. I've been to a fair few and know when I'm eating Lebanese. The chicken smelt funny, the salad was drowning in salt, the cheese rolls were like salty pieces of plastic, the chicken wings were like something out of a Sam's burger joint. The falafel wrap was dry and heavy.... The customer service was great, she was nice and friendly, really tried to help, full 5 stars for her, but if I'm going somewhere to pay for some good juicy authentic food then that's what I wanna get... won't be returning as all the food was way below the bar for me!

The service and the food was amazing and we were served quick. Highly recommend if you are in the area to try them.

Very average, they only accept cash and we were not informed at the entrance. They even started recording us. Terrible experience. If you want to go make sure you carry CASH with you in 2023 🤣

Fabulous tasty food and excellent service from this lovely family run restaurant. Food was hot and very tasty, the portions were very generous I couldn’t eat all of mine. The service was great, always there if you need something but not in your space. Definitely...

Wonderful place to eat. The waiters are very nice. I sincerely recommend this restaurant. Très bon rapport qualité / prix.

Cool restaurant, nice atmosphere and delicious food.

Just around the corner from us. Have walked past the place every day for a year now and finally decided to try it tonight. It did not disappoint. Beautiful tasting food and mocktails, attentive service and good atmosphere. We sat in the cosy shisha lounge where there was belly dancing to entertain us. We will definitely be returning.

How lucky were we to randomly find this gem. My husband and I found it one night and brought the whole family back a couple nights later as we simply couldn’t get enough of Nana’s delicious cuisine. The food was outstanding. The first night we...

I was with my family in Watford and stumbled on this gem! It was hands down the best meal we had during our stay. We ordered many appetizers as some in our group had not had Lebanese food before. Everyone in the group raved at...

Great service and great food at a reasonable price. One slight downside was we visited on a hot day which meant it was extremely warm in the restaurant - nothing an extra fan or two wouldn’t fix

Food was decent but woman said their wifi was down so they don’t take cards. They should be upfront with this before the meal. They directed us to the closest atm.

Lovely food and very friendly and efficient service. Both meat and vegetarian dishes were well received by my family. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely little place! Excellent food that was beautifully spiced and great service. Generous portions that are good value. Taking your own bottle helps make for a bargain meal as corkage is reasonable. A gem of a place.

We were staying in the hotel I've the road,saw this place was rated number 1 in Watford. We've been twice now and the food, service and whole experience is fantastic! Really interesting food beautifully presented and lovely staff. Also great value for money! We will...
