Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I came here with my friends not thinking much of this place as I didn’t really like Indian food ,but when the food arrived (which came amazingly fast) it proved me wrong.Their lamb chops are succulent and tender and their prawns were the best I ever tried. The atmosphere was great, however it wasn’t too busy which I liked. Also the staff are friendly and hard working so therefore I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a great meal.

Sunday buffet was awesome. Visited June 2022 and price was £11 per adult plus drinks. Poppadums cooked fresh to order and served with a variety of chutneys. Delish! Starters are cooked to order- huge onion bhaji, 2 tandoori wings, samosa n salad each - All Delish ( onion bhaji was perfect- not dry or floury) then the mains were self service buffet except the naan breads which were cooked fresh to order ( peshwari, garlic, plain or keema). There was chick tikka masala (obs) , a hot chick curry, lamb dupiaza, veg curry, Bombay potatoes, rice and salad. The curries had plentiful of large chunks of meat . The staff were very attentive and friendly. We will def be going back

Last night I went to deja vu Indian restaurant in cheshunt, there were 3 staff, 1 had a mask and gloves, one had a face shield one had nothing on i his face. We were seated away from others, but there were a few diners in the front seating area quite close. As the night was progressing, more people were coming in and being seated, at this point none of our names had been taken, no addresses etc, one of the people on our table called the waiter over and stated that they need to stop letting people in as the distancing would not be met, the waiter wasn’t happy being told this and from this point on we waited an hour and a half for our starter, when halfway through the starter, the waiter just shouted across the room “enjoy your starter, yeah” This got my back up even more, as the tone and attitude in his voice was strange, any how the meal followed , mediocre to low quality, all the while being ignored by the waiters, when we tried to call them over we got a thumbs Up or 1 minute finger. We got the expensive bill and paid and left, all the while being offered no hand gel, as other customers were, and they never took our names and Addresses. Bad experience, will never dine there again

Hey Porterboy1978, Thanks for you feedback, as i'm sure you can understand we are dealing with unprecedented times. Here at DeJaVu we are sticking to all of the guidelines that have been set out by the government, and customer saftey is our number one priority. Taking these precautions has however increased the waiting time for customers in our restaurant to receive their food. Upon arrival and departure, optional hand santiser is on display and readily available to all customers and has been during the start of lockdown. As far as food quality goes, we are consitently reminded by our customers that DeJaVu serves high quality food at a fair price. Thank you for sharing your experience and we wish you the best in your future visits to other restaurants.

Myself and hubby ate in here last Wednesday evening. Not been here for a few years! Staff were very very charming. Food was delicious! My special biryani even at £16 I thought was expensive it was absolutely delicious! Hubby’s garlic chicken was lovely! Sides rices and poppadom were yummy! Only 3 tables were taken but the atmosphere was nice! Highly recommend 😁

Met with an empty restaurant that seemed to be staffed with a young girl and her brother. Zero interaction or warmth from the young girl she made me feel like we were in the wrong place. Standard food, reasonable prices. Sorry but it’s not for me. It filled up later with locals. I still don’t understand paying service charge and will always insist it is taken off the bill. Not one of the drinks that spilled did they offer to replace. A complete waste of my evening. Their reviews are littered with one star reviews which is always suspicious to me.

Well, I had a dreamy naan bread because it was stuffed with mincemeat and had coats of garlic on the outside making it sublime I love the paintings on the wall. They were also sublime. Sublime being the order of the day, I must give a shout out to the chicken tikka masala and of course the hot lamb curry I won’t apologise for the overuse of the word sublime because the onion budgie was yes you’ve guessed it………… Sublime And beyond belief I went to the buffet so I kept going back for more and I’ve probably put on about half a stone but I don’t care Christmas is coming. The goose is getting fat. Actually, to be fair everything was cooked in a delicate way and it was a buffet for £12.50 who could ask for more in the sublime department?

The best authentic Indian Restaurant in the World. All the staff are always soo happy, it has now become tradition for my wife's Birthday and special occasions. I have also tried DeJa Vu as a takeaway and their onion bhajis are soo good especially with Mango Chutney. Normally disappointment with most places as prices have gone up and quality down after Covid. But De Ja Vu remains one of the great places to eat out.

Best Indian restaurant in the area! Menu is varied and most importantly, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable. Covid secure measures in place. My favourite place to eat!

We were very disappointed with the service. It took them an hour to bring out our starters and then another 45 minutes for our mains. The food was ok but expensive, plus we weren’t told that we’d be charged so much for the sauces we had with our popadoms. Whist we were there customers up and left as they weren’t prepared to wait over an hour for their starters. The restaurant wasn’t even that busy, so I really don’t understand why the wait was so long.

I went to this restaurant with my family after hearing about its amazing food. I was welcomed by amazing decorations and friendly staff. The atmosphere was electric. However the food arrived quite late but it was busy so I can understand. But even if it wasn’t busy, the food made up for it, the dum ghost and lamb chops were immaculate and the desserts were top notch. This is the restaurant you can buy without checking the price cuz it’s absolutely amazing. Great job Abdul and the team

I went down with my family 2 days ago, all staff were keeping their distance and were wearing face coverings. We all felt safe and liked the atmosphere. I loved the food and me and my family consider this as the best Indian.
