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.

Food was really very good. We thoroughly enjoyed the fact we could sit outside first. The dish recommended was the broccoli. It was just lovely(Surprisingly). The food actually tasted good quality. The peppers were sweet. This really doesn’t make a difference. Service was excellent -...Naj was great , very informative and kind We will be back. Thank you Leisha and AndrewMore

Best takeaway Indian we’ve ever had. I had the chicken tikka Dansak, it was exceptional. The Brinjal Bhaji was next level.

My visit to this restaurant was an absolute delight! The food was really good with some different and unusual chef specials. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly and chatty. This restaurant goes above and beyond in providing both exceptional cuisine and heartwarming hospitality.

I’ve been a few times but my mate said he’d not been and fancied a curry. To be fair, this time the food was great and not with any issues (and we have had some) really good quality meat and the naan bread was sensational....Happy to pay, still just figuring out in my head if £15 for main, £5 rice and £5 for naan is right?! That’s £25 for main meal 🤷‍♂️ seems high-ish but agree it is nice. Still won’t drag me away from Curry Garden up the road for price vs quality & valueMore

We ordered food from here to be delivered to our house for the first time. It was fast delivery and the order was correct so we were very happy with that. But the food itself was not great. Bland food at extortionate prices We ordered...1 naan, 1 korma, 1 tikka masala and rice which cost over £50. It’s the most expensive takeaway food we have had! It’s seriously overpriced for what it is. The chicken korma was so bland - I actually prefer the one I buy from the supermarket. BUT they have the best coconut rice - it’s the BEST coconut rice we have ever had so 5/5 for coconut rice. Given how expensive it is for what it is we will not be ordering from here again which is a shame as we live in Berkhamsted and regularly order takeaways.More

Came here for Mother’s Day. This restaurant is 45 minutes away from my home town by car and is worth the trip as the food is significantly higher in standard than similar in my local area. One small thing, the poppadoms are expensive as usually...these are either free or about half the price overall, and we skipped the starters, the mains are about the same as everywhere else in Hertfordshire in price so definitely worthwhile. The service was friendly and kind despite being busy, and the restaurant is nicely decorated with a good atmosphere. This was a second visit in 2 years and would come Bach again.More

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the customer service I received from your restaurant. My order was delivered to me hours late, which was a huge inconvenience for my family.

I like the food here and the choice of dishes. The service can vary at different times and not just because of it being busy. It's not a cheap place to eat and being in Berkhamsted doesn't help. This being said it won't stop me...from eating there.More

We visited with 2 friends for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. There were a couple of large parties in so the restaurant was noisy, but apart from that the experience was excellent. The food was delicious - well presented and excellent quality. The servers...were also knowledgeable and very friendly. We will definitely return.More

It's mostly on street parking and quite a busy road, so parking can be difficult but in the evening there are some odd pavement spaces available.
