The best restaurants serving Indian food in Watford East of England

We decided to have a takeaway the first we’ve had since being in lockdown. Wanted to try something new, I browsed just eat and came across this menu. My husband loves spicy food and I love Chinese so a fusion of Sri Lankan sounded good. Without thinking I placed the order and forgot to look at any reviews so got a little worried. I then browsed google and saw only good reviews so felt better. The food arrived 15-20 mins earlier than expected. The driver was polite and followed the message I left on the ordering site which always helps and rare. The food was hot, fresh and was actually amazing! All the food had its own individual taste and was the right spice. I ordered extra hot for him and it was perfect (warning he loves the hottest chillis) Will definitely be our new curry place as lived here for 2 years now and nothing has come close to this. Highly recommend. Didn’t get to take any pictures we had eaten it before I thought about it! Sorry not sorry

Previously known as Chutneys, our meal at Taaza was excellent. The food was beautifully flavoured and fresh. Manager was very friendly and prices very reasonable, especially with the Dine card.

Food was good, service and ambience were poor.

First visit to this restaurant this evening after recommendation from a family member. Lovely welcome from the manageress who explained the different dishes and how spicy they might be! We all had lamb dishes were delicious and melt in the mouth! We also had various starters which we shared and they were all very good! Will definitely go back! It was very quiet, I only hope this was because it was a Sunday evening and that the place gets more customers!

Went and bought snacks and sweets for Diwali. Everything was fresh and tasty and the service was outstanding. Would come again.

I dined with my partner at this restaurant on Valentine's day and we had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the food was absolutely delicious - everything was fresh, and the chicken and prawn dishes were perfectly soft and flavorful. The elegant atmosphere and beautiful decoration added to the overall charm of the place. However, the cocktails were a letdown; they were too sweet and overpriced for my taste. The service, unfortunately, left much to be desired. The staff seemed not well organised, running the entire restaurant rather than focusing on specific clusters. As a result, we were asked the same questions by multiple staff members and didn't have an allocated waiter. We were served by at least four different people, which led to confusion and more mistakes with our orders. In conclusion, while the food and ambiance were fantastic, the service did not match up. The restaurant also felt overpriced, especially with the automatic addition of a 12.5% service charge, which seemed unjustified given the service quality.

We ordered chicken saag and butter chicken and both dishes were sweet (?…) why? i have ordered from Spice Lounge a couple of times before and food was good, but this time I feel so disappointed, waste of my money we were not even able to finish our portions. The paratha was good, the plain naan…so so… shame

I wish I could give this restaurant no stars DO NOT GO THERE AT ALL. Everything about this restaurant was bad the food service atmosphere. We decided to order 2 starters and because the food was so bad we decided to leave and go somewhere else however when we tried paying the bill they were rude and screaming at us because we didn’t order more food. They refused to give us the bill and when we tried paying the guy made up a number for us to pay. We got screamed at by them the food was disgusting so I would suggest you do not go there and go where you can get your moneys worth because this place is not it. Furthermore the whole time we were there they made us feel very uncomfortable by looking at us weirdly and secondly by forcing us to order food we are customers so it’s our choice what we want to eat. This place needs to be shut down!!!!!!!!

I used to be a regular customer at Mint, but my recent experience was disappointing. I ordered chicken fried rice, but it took over 1.5 hours for the delivery to arrive. Not only was the food undercooked, but we also found hair in it. When I tried to address the issue with Ameen, he seemed too busy to listen and hung up on me. I've been ordering from this restaurant since 2021, but after this bad experience, I've decided to stop. Sorry, Ameen. It's a shame.

This is the best food ever!!! was delicious 😋

That was lovely, arrives nice and hot and very tasty

I am wary of Indian food, but this time I was pleasantly surprised. Very unusual and quite tasty. I don't know if I will return to these people, but you can order from them without fear, ha!)

We had am amazing experience. We were a group of 4 and made to feel very welcome. The food was excellent and we can not wait to go back again. Thank you for a great evening.

The best place for biriyani. Quality is top notch. Quantity is very generous and incomparable. Lovely experience.
