The best restaurants in Stevenage East of England

From the moment we stepped into Lavish, we were welcomed by the warm, inviting ambiance, paired with attentive service, set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. But the real star of the night was the food and the flavorful sauces they used. We started with the beetroot appetizer, which was a delightful surprise. The earthy sweetness of the beets was perfectly balanced with a creamy, tangy dressing, making for a refreshing and vibrant start. Alongside, the calamari was cooked to perfection—tender on the inside, lightly crispy on the outside. Grilled octopus was another appetizer that was absolutely perfect! For the mains, we opted for a variety of dishes to fully experience the restaurant’s expertise in grilling. The chicken shish was succulent and well-marinated, and preserved its juicy tenderness. The ribeye steak was another standout—cooked exactly to our preference, with a rich, buttery flavor that melted in the mouth. The lamb beyti, wrapped in lavash and served with a flavorful tomato sauce and creamy yogurt, was a comforting, aromatic dish that showcased the chef’s mastery of traditional flavors. Pairing all this with a well-curated wine selection and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, Lavish exceeded all expectations. We tried red wine and it was amazing! We were so full with the yummy food so we couldn't try the desserts but they all looked good! Will try next time for sure! Whether you’re in the mood for seafood, steak, chicken or hamburger, this place delivers on every level. We’ll definitely be returning soon! My kids loved the atmosphere as well! And service was amazing, so many helpful positive people! 5 stars🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

My wife and I had lunch here today. We had come in for breakfast before and it was excellent, so we were in the area and thought we would see what lunch was like. I ordered a Turkey, Ham and Leek pue with mash and vegetables. My wife ordered the Cottage Pie and vegetables both homemade for scratch. There was a bit of a wait for both, but that was fine as we were assured that these meals were homemade and cooked in the oven with not a microwave insight. When the food came out it was delicious and we would highly recommend it. It is a busy location and the staff are super friendly and reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning.

Food is excellent quality and freshly cooked and hot! No complaints, my local chip shop! The staff are very hardworking and friendly people!

Great Breakfast!! We found this gem in our area great value for money all the weeks we ask for are no problem for them , very friendly staff Thanks will definitely be returning

Fabulous bread. You can cut a fresh loaf for sandwiches and the dough springs back not like some where it squashes flat. Lovely light bread and delicious crust. Just wish there were rolls in the Stevenage Old Town shop.

Just had our first breakfast from here, it was delicious and such good value for money! I don’t tend to do a cooked breakfast because I don’t like all the oil and grease but this was gorgeous. Fab little place, super clean and super friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

We ordered for delivery on Just Eat before Sugar Rush'd even opened. Didn't need to do anything else (ie phone to confirm or anything) they just completed the order when they opened and we received an amazing tasty brownie and shake shortly after opening. Highly recommend, I will be ordering from here again, probably soon lol ;)

Wow what a great store for motorcycle clothing. Went in to look at helmets but the service was so good I bought 1 for my partner 2..they even knocked off some money as we were buying 2.at the same time. Couldn't take them home as wanted a different colour for hers but they also do free postage. Would highly recommend.

Ideal place for a freshly cooked fish and chips. The members of staff always served their customers with a smile.
