The best restaurants serving Indian food in East Hertfordshire East of England

Myself & 3 Friends were recommended to booked Shadohna for our regular Curry. Restaurant is stylish & spacious. Clean & Airy, comfortable seating. Our Waiter put us in a window table for 4, 4th seat scrunched against window. Plenty of room in the Restaurant, we asked to be moved to a more sensible table. We felt we were sat in window to make restaurant appear busy ? Service polite/not pushy. Starters all good, main course held until we were ready. Dishes tasty,savoury , generous portions.side dishes cooked well. One main course only lukewarm. Roti bread disappointing. I chose a special main course, cooked with Sambuka,different & tasty, I would order again. Mixed opinions regarding the meals tbh. All in all an ok pleasant evening. Worth a visit.

Food is lovely. Won’t go again with children. Will try different Indian next time. Two young children and food order missed, once ordered, Food an hour later… had a sorry but won’t go again…. Disappointing… will go bengal cottage next…

I am going to write a fair review here. . The food was great. Very good. We really enjoyed it. However, had a really bizarre experience which I am not quite over.. we ordered a chicken tikka dansak vindaloo hot, but was served a chicken tikka masala vindaloo hot which does not really work. We told the staff that it was incorrect and one of them basically as good as said no it wasn't, we ordered that and kept saying "just try just try". We argued it but was not really being heard. He then offered to replace the meal but would take 15 - 20 mins so this was declined as our friend did not want to eat alone and wait. We would have been nearly finished. He did not enjoy the curry and left most of it. One staff member tried to make a joke and say " oh couldn't handle the chillies " in which we responded, no, the curry was wrong, we don't like it. We were ignored. The bill then came and we decided that due to the good food we would just pay for the wrong curry and not cause a fuss. The bill included service charge. We changed our mind when the staff member tried to get us to round our bill up to a "round number" despite already adding service charge. This is when I snapped. The attitude about the wrong curry was so so poor. As a response to me saying actually no, service is included and you've served the wrong curry etc etc he became very rude and aggressive. Told us we were wrong, it was what we ordered. We then asked to remove the service due to the shocking attitude and aggression. He even began to argue this. Other staff just watched. He was not happy at all and aggressively shoved me the card machine and receipt. Such a shame.. I can see some reviews below, and I think we might all be referring to the same rude, man. Will not be returning.

Amazing service and without a doubt the best food I’ve ever tasted ❤️

The chicken tandon special is my go too the onion bargi dipped in their signature yoghurt mint sauce and their massala dishes & lightly battered king prawn best indian takeaway around by far. staff are friendly the delivery is A star

Awesome food, delivered even to the airport hotel. I loved it, awesome taste and a very friendly delivery guy!

Amazing people, would do again.

Always make us welcome, excellent food and service

Used to be just what you wanted from an Indian. Food still lovely but side dishes rather small.. Staff now rather detached and almost rude.. It does get busy and a little loud on occasion..

Service were good, staff were really nice, but the food was way too plain for me, and had no flavour.

Honestly the best curry house around. Food is so good. See ya next time.

Perfect as always! Thanks for the poppadom :)

Very good, by far the best curry I have had in a long while. Good service. Staff very friendly. Toilets clean. Very large selection menu.

Very disappointed with our visit ok Friday, some staff were very rude and couldn’t even smile or give eye contact. Waiter threw my cutlery down on the table and ignored my husband when he asked for a drink. Starters were good but the main biryani wasn’t flavourless. They only bought 1 side curry instead of 3. Portions were a good size though.

Absolutely fantastic food and what fantastic people. We’ve visited Hertford for the weekend and was overwhelmed by the hospitality that we were shown by the owners. Totally recommended.
