Zara Mangal in Watford

I love this place, best wings in Watford by the way

Zara Mangal Restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience, blending exquisite Turkish and Mediterranean flavors with warm and attentive service. From the moment you step in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff make you feel at home. The food is the real highlight: perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. Their mixed grill platter is a must-try, featuring tender lamb chops, juicy chicken, and flavorful kebabs cooked to perfection over the charcoal grill. The mezze selection is equally delightful, with fresh hummus, baba ghanoush, and vibrant salads that burst with authentic flavors. Don’t skip the baklava for dessert – it’s a sweet, flaky masterpiece. The service is impeccable, with staff eager to recommend dishes and ensure your experience is flawless. Whether you’re dining as a couple, with family, or in a group, Zara Mangal exceeds expectations. It’s clear this restaurant is passionate about both their food and their customers. A true hidden gem in Watford – highly recommended for anyone looking for a taste of Turkey and an unforgettable evening.

For me, simple best kebab in UK for taste and value ( although would not mind if the increase prices a bit) . Always used for seat in restaurant, delicious rice as well to go with that. Recommended

Lovely food, value for money. Really friendly and happy staff

A little hidden gem in watford. Food is fantastic.

A big amazing kebab. It was absolutely delicious. You might not finish it. People was very friendly.

Food was nice, and fresh and inside decor good. Reasonable and they give tap water. I would go back to this place. Ordered mix grill and ribs. Was worth it and reasonably priced.

Been going for year great place to eat out

My favourite place to eat out in Watford. High standards and consistency on food quality and service.

We've been getting shish kebab here every Friday, after we finish work, for years. Always great food, always great service and lovely staff.

Food is always delicious and staff members nice and polite! Loving this place 🥰

Excellent Food with lovely staff 5️⃣⭐️

Very good meal, perfect service for a good price..

Vary nice quality and service, humble waiters

Came here after Donner wrap, which was brilliant! Very friendly staff. Will come back again.

Lovely food amazing just had a chicken doner wrap from lovley guys from Afghanistan very friendly and doe's lovley food well done 👏 ✔️

The best place to eat meat, wraps,kebab and all inclusive sauces with free starters, very tasty and friendly, high level of hospitality and even if they don’t have any spaces - believe me they will find you extra :)

Ordered over the phone to collect our order and everything we tried was great! The chicken shish was of great flavour and a great portion size and good quality meat. The lamb doner had a great flavour not your average kebab shop slop! The salads and sauces to accompany meals where great homemade quality and fresh taste.

Amazing food, amazing service! The staff is always so friendly and attentive to us and the food is always top notch! Perfectly cooked with great flavour every single time! Can't recommend this place enough! 🔥

Not ideal Turkish restaurant in food quality or atmosphere, but good for a quick drunk food. More like a Cafeteria.

Popped in - substantial lunch for 3, with hot drinks was under £30. Food was delicious, staff very good. Would definitely recommend.

Good food with good customer service. Must try.

Total waste… Looks like their worst downfall started…. The staff turned arrogant…. And taste was good but now turned awful…. Never ever order chicken wings - they serve 7 tiny half wings and not worth the price and taste is coal…l

Tasty and fresh meats cooked on the BBQ. But as with most Turkish restaurants, the food is very salty. As good as any other more expensive Turkish restaurants.

Just been back once again and food is still absolutely fantastic reasonabley priced with a fantastic family atmosphere. You have to try this place at least once and you'll be hooked best kebab house for miles. And the owners chefs and bar staff make it an unforgettable eating establishment. Deserves 10/10 Amazing will be back again soon.

Very Friendly and food is always good

Fresh food at a very good price. Great taste

The best Turkish restaurant in town , great food friendly service been customer for over 17 years since the restaurant were on the prade

Delicious food. Amazing servings. Definitely try the Sea bass and dessert🍧🍰

Just ordered online, uber eats Delivery took around 30 minutes The shop is 2 minutes drive from my home The only fresh food from my order was the lamb doner The 2 portion of chicken was not fresh, at least not freshly cut I don't understand why when you go to take it from the shop, they cutting fresh, when you order online they just give you the left over from day before, or the left over from the last doner I used to work in a kebab shop, so I know very well the difference

My favourite place to eat in Watford - great staff, excellent customer service, awesome food!

Best adana and worst iskender I have tried in the UK. Service was good.

VERY TASTY FOOD! Excellent service, a compliment from the institution! Nice service! It is immediately clear that every guest is important to them. Large and tasty portions. We were actually very well fed. Keep up the good work.

always tip top food! but the portion sizes have been reduced I've noticed

The best kebab in the town ...thanks guys

Wonderful food perfect hospitality you feeling home

Tasty food and friendly staff !

Extremely delicious food + reasonable prices. Finding a parking space is a mission but well worth it.

Rubbish! The smallest amount chicken shish in a dry cold pitta bread for over £10????? Chips cold and hard £3.85? Wow! Never again!

The food was great, lots of flavor, the mixed grill with all the toppings. To end the night, you got to have the tea and baklava.

Well,was there first time last week and now it will be my favourite place

Small portions and crazy prices!

Best kebab in Watford. Friendly staff, delicious food. Atmosphere is very authentic and alive. You have to eat here if you’re around.

I have been here a few times but generally just get it delivered. The quality of food is lovely however deliveries of course are not as good as eating fresh in the restaurant. I visited yesterday with some family and I was again not disappointed, the food was amazing! It was fresh and flavoursome and the customer service is honestly next to none! They are so accommodating and friendly, honestly the best service I’ve received in a hospitality environment for years!

Good food, good quality, good price and very friendly staff

Today doonr is not good...very bad serives...

Order mixed family grill £42.50 well worth it easy enough for large family worth it 👌 lovely bbq flavour 😋

If you're looking for food that's simultaneously greasy and dry look no further! At least the portions are generous. Service is ok but at the end when we had more than half the food in our plates uneaten, the server asked if we wanted to get it in a to go bag. When we responded no thank you we expected the question if we enjoyed the food but that question never came. Overall for £20 per person including a drink, this was a disappointing experience

Delicious food, pleasant and familiar atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff.

Wonderful experience, i cant fault this place. Food was great, service was efficient, atmosphere was buzzing.

Amazing service. Food was generous in portions and amazingly authentic in taste. Would definitely recommend it for a group gatherings or cozy dine-in experience.

It's one of my favourite restaurants. The food is very good,fresh and tasty 😋. Highly recommended 👌.

Very good! Huge portions!! I like that music is not so loud, nice people, good food! Good prices!!

Best doner kebab of my life, massive plates, nice environment with space for strollers if you want to bring your baby as well. 10/10

Very good restaurant, I recommend it

Best kebab and Chilli sauce in watford

What a great little restaurant! We went last night and were really impressed. We had excellent service from our lovely server who was really friendly. They didn't have one of the menu items that we wanted to order so he very kindly gave us some chicken wings to apologise which was really unexpected and appreciated. They're really lovely people, and great prices too. It was really busy and looked well loved by many. We will definitely be back!

Best Kebabs in Watford! Best value for money!

5 of us ate here tonight. The food was amazing. So much of it and absolutely delicious. The service is outstanding. Looking forward to going again.

Pretty good here, there aren’t many good kebabs around Watford town but this will satisfy you.

I was very hesitant to try this place BUT it blew my mind... OMG!! Love at first bite. The whole seabass was phenomenal Service was even better!!

Been coming here for a couple of years and getting a take away. Tried the restaurant today and as ever, the food was delicious and fresh and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Well done to all the staff!

We've been visiting Zara Mangal restaurant in Watford for years, and their food and service has always been excellent.

Lovely food friendly staff, Will go again

The shish lamb was not great but the baklava was great

The best Turkish food in watford by some distance. Puts some of its more expensive rivals to shame !

Amazing food, served every customer quickly and with attentiveness - very friendly service and good prices :)

Nice Turkish restaurant serving delicious food. We ordered the family meal for three which was preceeded by a humus starter with flatbread, a plate of salad and a plate of fries. The platter had a combination of sheekh and doner kebabs with meat and boneless chicken tikkas, chicken wings and rice. More than enough for three. The placed filled up quickly after we arrived.

I loved all of it. The food was excellent, the service was good and the atmosphere was nice, as they were playing traditional Turkish music. That said, I was expecting the restaurant to be a bit bigger, but it turned out to be just right for a group of 4

Been here a few times, had lovely lunch and evening meals here, food is always on point and the service is great, thank you for lovely Turkishi vibes and yummy food, keep up the good work.

Lovely place and wonderful staff and service
