Verandah in Dacorum

Just finished eating and coming back home from varandah. Fine dine kind of experience with table cloth & cutlery. ✅ Prompt service and well organised staff✅ Ambiance was decent with warm inviting lighting ✅ Food was good too ✅ specially pappadums with chutneys. Garlic mushroom was tasty but too salty! 🙄 In mains tarka daal was delicious but could have been better with more of a tarka. (was kind of blend) and we tried vegetable tikka morrisa which was more of a onion tikka*****literally one full sliced white onion in tikka spicy gravy. Flop 👎 Highlight was GARLIC NAAN. 👌 ✅ Fluffy and full of flavour. Pure delish. Can have it on its own. Overall it was a decent experience at Varandah. We are from London city so don't know about when we'll go back. Anyway. Try it. Review it. Thank you.

Good service, balti a little dry and too many onions in the vegetable curry, could have done with some potato and more sauce in it

Absolutely wonderful curry house, had a lovely time.

We have been going here for years and not only is it the best curry in berkhamsted but also the most friendly restaurant in town. The team are brilliant with kids and families too. Try the house specialty dishes for something different but brilliant

Nothing massively wrong with this place but wouldn't recommend it... Food wasn't really anything to write home about and others in the party said their meals were pretty bland. Poppadoms definitely weren't fresh either. Given the choice of restaurants in Berkhamstead I'd choose somewhere else.

Nice place, good food at a reasonable price and friendly staff, what's not to like!!

Delicious food and very friendly service. Favourite curry house in Berkhamsted

1st takeaway from here...absolutely delicious. Staff really friendly and helpful, will definitely be going back to dine in.

Great food, great service, nice atmosphere.

Very nice food and excellent service

Tuesday night special choose any 3 courses. Excellent value and absolutely superb food. Service outstanding……………..

Really tasty food and lovely people serving.

Friendly staff however when the food arrived I queried if the curry they gave me was what I had ordered. The waiter said he’d check with chef and didn’t come back to us with any answer. I then asked him again as the curry was totally different to what I ordered, to go and check this but again he didn’t bother. The food at best was very bland and I would suggest if you like a bit of spice in your curry maybe try one out of Tesco.

Original 1 star review - “Don’t trust delivery our coke (£3.5) was already opened with a broken seal…. Not sure what else they did with food” Edit - Thank you for being helpful and correcting an error with the drinks. I am editing this review to reflect how the food actually tasted as I just needed to get the point across that drinks for customers shouldn’t mingle with drinks for restaurant! The food wasn’t half bad and we got a lot for the price but it lacked a lot of the flavor I have with similar Indian dishes. I know because I am boring and always order the same thing whenever I go to an Indian restaurant. Pros: Fast/good delivery service and Portion size. Neutrals: Food wasn’t particularly special. Cons: Just a little bit more care with what is being sent to customers. For that reason I think it’s fair to give 3/5.

Easily the best curry in Berkhamsted. You must try it!!

What a fabulous evening we had in the Verandah. We had two tables 25 of us in total, the food and service was spot on, I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a lovely evening out!

Fabulous food, fabulous service - moved to France in 2019 and returned to visit friends and have a curry! The Maitre D remembered us, despite us not having visited for 4 years! Can't recommend highly enough - all dishes ordered were excellent quality- Chattinad delicious as ever, can't wait for our next trip!

the restaurant looked good from the out side , so we decided to book a table for 10. The staff were unpleasant and the food was very average and cold definitely reheated in the microwave. definitely won’t be visiting again.

Just had my second curry takeaway from here. First one was not my taste and thought I'd ordered incorrectly. Tonight asked for the same dish (Lamb Koraigh) with sauce. Tasteless with little spice to convince me it was a curry and not worth the problem of parking near and collecting this. If this is the standard of food from this establishment I'm not sure the locals have tasted better elsewhere. Pity! I will not be going back. Wish Id gone home and put the chicken and leak pie in the oven. Id say it was the equivalent of going to watch a horror movie and ending up watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Excellent food, amazing service and a lovely welcoming team.

A group of us ladies dined at Verandah on a Tuesday night and took advantage of the banquet night which was incredible value! The food was superb, the service was impeccable and the restaurant is very comfortable. I can 100% recommend Verandah to anyone looking for high quality Indian cuisine at very reasonable prices.

Very welcoming Very Good service Food was excellent

We had a selection of 7 or so small dishes from the vegetarian menu, a few naan breads and rice. Everything was excellent and the service even better. In the absence of a specific tea, the manager scoured their stock to present every possible option for one of our party. They went out of their way to accommodate us, I'd definitely recommend Verandah.

Very polite and attentive staff, with excellent food.

Great food, friendly staff, should be on your Berko hitlist.

The restaurant is little bit expensive side including paying service charge. Although food was quite tasty 😋

Easliy the best Indian Restaurant in Berko. Come here with friends, the wife & daughter and also pick up takeaways. Good atmosphere and always friendly staff

Very average and made us pay cash. I’ve been going here a while and it’s riding on its reputation rather than being a quality Indian restaurant. Felt like I was part of a money laundering scheme tonight. Won’t be going back.

Berkhamsted has many restaurants, this doesn’t need to be one of them. Made us pay cash without any sort of apology and the food was average at best.

Great place, has been here for years and very friendly staff. Try the Nawabi if you like watching the staff try to burn down their own restaurant!

Great food and ambience, take away food excellent too. Really friendly and competent staff that make you feel welcome.

A group of 9 went out for a birthday celebration, we had an ok meal, but we where caught out on the service charge! when has it been the norm to add a service charge to a bill, as the first item?, and then of course, we added a 10% tip to the final amount. so low and behold we paid over £80.00, and when we were paying the bill, the staff didn't explain that service had already been added!! you could say it was a mistake, or sharp practice?

We really like this restaurant both for takeaway and our monthly evening meal with friends. Excellent service and great food :)

Another very enjoyable visit to our favourite Berkhamsted restaurant. The delicious food never fails to please, next time I must resist my favourite dish, Chicken Nawabi , and order something new. It's not only the food but the service and friendliness are also 1st class. Looking forward to our next visit already.

Great meal, staff always polite and friendly this is a regular restaurant for us and always will be, thanks again for an excellent meal.

Great curry house - always friendly and efficient service and the curries are very good indeed. Top marks again (and thanks for the sambuca!) :)

Booked a table for 4 well over a month ago via the restaurant online method...confirmed at time of booking....recieved further email day before confirming booking....get to restaurant...no booking....oh really...will squeeze you in...another table came in after...no booking...get seated before us. Food lovely...no complimentary drink..bit underwhelmed or apology...so moral of this story...check your online booking...

Fantastic food tonight the chicken dansak was perfect and the chicken biryani was light and fragrant amazing flavours. Thanks very much

Very poor customer service, rude Management, never recommended. We went, ordered some drink, then when we ordered the waiter said he don’t take order for small amounts and ask us to leave the restaurant, he didn’t tell about minimum order amount when we sit and order drink, and then both water and manager/owner become so much rude and force us to leave the restaurant and force us to pat for the drink that even not taken.

Good food, clean and tidy modern decor and attentive staff. Toilets need a facelift though.

Best Indian restaurant in Berkhamsted with very friendly service.

First visit to this restaurant after passing it by many times was greeted with a smile when walked through the door we choose food from there Sunday buffet menu all was ok very typical of Indian cuisine wasn’t as good as the fat Buddha across the road quite small portions but enough but it was the smallest onion Bhaji I’ve ever had in a Indian restaurant the waiters were very pleasant found the drinks a rip off £4.50 for a pint of coke They won’t serve water from the tap you can only purchase bottled water plus if you want to take food home with you expect to shell out another £3.50 for the containers to take home your already purchased food find this as poor customer service so I can’t see me rushing back there any time soon sorry

All the classic Indian favourites cooked to perfection - balti was my favourite- with a really friendly team. Takeaways always very reliable but can‘t beat actually eating in the restaurant

Burnt naan, super dry coconut rice, chewy chicken. Not worth the money

Delicious food, friendly staff.

First time here and was not disappointed! Food was delicious staff were friendly and price was average Will Defiently be going back!!

Great food was on a Sunday so gourmet special was on 13.95 which is always good friendly service will go again

Great curry, friendly staff who like a laugh, keep smiling through these tough times

Great food & friendly helpful staff

Good food and great selection of dishes. This is not a pretentious restaurant and staff are very friendly. Some of the chicken tikka was slightly dry but my go to lamb madras dish was spot on - sauce was delicious and portions are ample. Having not been out for a curry for many months this did not disappoint.

A spacious and comfortable Indian restaurant. The menu is varied and the cooking is excellent. Service is pleasant and attentive without being intrusive.

Excellent service, delicious quality food and massive portions! Loved it all! And most of all, Verandah dishes are consistently excellent. We’ve been dining and enjoying take aways from Verandah for over 5 years now and they’ve never disappointed ... always delish!

Has a provincial 1970s Hemel vibe. However, the food and service are very good and the prices are reasonable. Menu has a wider selection of dishes than is usual. Worth it.

The house specials are delicious, particularly the Khazana and Shatkora.

Fantastic prices here. It's a wonder that can keep it going. The food is fine if not tantalising but certainly palatable for a weekday when you just cant be bothered to cook.

Stunning takeaway, food was excellent. Have been using other curry houses, but am now a convert

The food was disappointing and service took a long time. I would have expected better .

This is the first time since this COVID 19 that we have been into a restaurant. We booked for 6 30, thinking it would be quiet. Unfortunately a group 26 , 16 - 20 year olds arrived. No face masks, no social distancing. Felt very unsafe could not wait to leave. We won’t be going in there again and probably will stay at home and order take away.

Delicious food. Very reasonable prices. Delightful staff.

Great food, great atmosphere, staff are very helpful and friendly

Good tasty food but bits were a bit cold, otherwise good thankyou

Have been using as takeout since lockdown and really impressed with everything we have had so far. Brilliant food and delivery service.

Amazing food and brilliant service. Would definitely order from here again. Best we’ve found.

Excellent food - not as spicy as I normally have it but more than made up for with excellent depth of flavour. I will be back!

Good curry, excellent service, attentive without being pushy. Gave us the table for the night and just kept the food and drink flowing. Recommended.

We eat from Verandah at least 3 times a month and usually the food is great. Unfortunately our takeaway we received yesterday, although was on time, was poor. The butter chicken and the Jalfrezi did not taste of anything. There was no flavour and it was just a couple of bits of chicken in a completely bland sauce. The naan bread had no garlic taste although was meant to be cheese and garlic and was quite burnt. We are so disappointed. We did inform just eat last night but are yet to hear anything back from them or the restaurant in question.

Very friendly staff. We normally order a takeaway but thought with the current situation, it would be nice to get out of the house. We ventured out with the family. All the staff were very attentive, safe distance, made us feel so welcome from the moment we entered. The food was lovely and it certainly was so lovely too enjoy it after a stressful of weeks. Would highly recommend.

As ever the staff are fantastic. We had ordered a takeaway previously and one dish (out of many) was missed and another sent in error. I rang up and was immediately offered a replacement, however I opted for a free dish next time around. Next order it was mentioned and we were immediately given our free dish no questions. Always tasty food.

Collected during lockdown, offered a half pint on the house whilst I waited and the food was outstanding, highly reccomend

Best place to eat in Berko, best waiters too.

In these challenging times we had a very tasty dinner from the Verandah last night. Portions were generous and the food was hot.

We hadn't booked but were warmly welcomed and offered a choice of tables. Very polite service. Good choice of dishes on the menu. Food was tasty and good portions. A little too much for me but 'carry out' was immediately offered. Parking on the road. Very large restaurant and if anything my comment would be to make the decor more cosy

My wife and I visited on a whim on a Friday night, the staff were lovely and got us settled. We ordered the seafood moilee and paneer prawns. The seafood moilee was gorgeous and we used the naan to mop up every last bit. Would definitely come again

Food is always exquisite !! Service impeccable!!

We always book a table here for Christmas Eve Once again we had a great evening Friendly staff and good food Be back again in the new year

Amazing food and service, lovely friendly staff. We will now be regulars, highly recommend. Berkhamsted has a few curry houses, but very few are. Authentic, so do try this. Restaurant you will not be disappointed such lovely people and cannot do enough to help,. No waiting around great place and atmosphere

Very good indeed. Lovely food, great service and not noisy!

We ordered a takeaway over the phone and I spoke to a very charming gentleman who took the order and repeated back to me as we went to ensure correct dishes. When we collected the food it was right on time and filled the car with glorious aromas. The quality of the meat was great and the dishes were fresh and flavourful with a good luck of spice. A really lovely meal.

Lovely meal, with friends. Enjoyed my Tandoori Duck.

Great curry house; super food and excellent service - we went onm a Sunday evening and there was a special menu deal, which virtually covered the whole menu! Lots of locals in, which is always a good sign. Recommended.

Great food, superb service best Indian in town.

We visit here quite often and get great food and customer service all the time. Best indian restaurant in berko.

Great, great, greatest!! Food and service are 1st class...

Always lovely food and excellent service.

We, as a family, have been coming here for years, but I've neglected to review this wonderful gem of a place. As a vegetarian, there's always a great selection and as you'd expect, a large selection for meat eaters too. The food is always scrumptious and the service is amazing...... My son only has to sit down and they know exactly what he want, they remember personal details are extremely attentive. I love the décor and the location is handy. They have a takeaway service, but we've always enjoyed the personal service they provide. Defiantly worth a visit.

I've been here a few times and the food is good, nice flavors and penny of spice. It is usually quiet whenever I'm here so we have the staffs attention. The cuisine is normal Indian fare, nothing too different all the regular favorites as you would expect. The decor is nice and the atmosphere is relaxing.

Best Indian restaurant in Berkhamsted.

Hands down the best curry house in Berko with a 5* food safety rating to boot (not true of some other local curry houses). Service is energetic and attentive - food is always spot on. High ceilings ensures conversation is easy even when crowded.

We love it, great atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful food

Great food, friendly service, pleasant atmosphere, affordable prices...definitely worth a visit!

Always great food and great service

We booked last minute for NYE so it was a bit of a gamble as we had never been here before. We expected it to be busy but the staff were brilliant, food was lovely tasty and portions were on point. We would definitely come back again!

We came for our Christmas get together & the service was brilliant. The food was really good too - so much, I couldn’t eat all of mine at all. Thank you. We will be back!

Came here last week in quite a large party. The menu is varied and reasonably priced, and the portion sizes are plentiful. The waiters were attentive and friendly.

Food was pretty good, atmosphere OK. Service great - nice bunch of guys.

Thank you for a lovely evening and for fitting 18 in at short notice ! Fabulous staff 👬👬 Fabulous food 🍴🍷

My first time ever here, went with a group of guys and we were well looked after by waiting staff. The food was really nice as well ~ no ill effects the following day.

Fantastic Food & Great Service ( Thank You Mr King ) The Staff Remember You & Always Ask After The rest of the Family

Lovely good, staff sooooo polite xx

Food was lovely but such a slow service, arrived at 7.30, eat at 9.30
