The Star Of India - East Hertfordshire

My first time visiting this restaurant in a while and I was pleased with the food and service. The staff were very helpful in assisting me with my order. I arrived at 6:30pm and did not have to wait, but I would recommend making a reservation as this Indian restaurant is quite popular. The closest car park is about a five-minute walk away, but if you arrive later, you may be able to find street parking nearby. Overall, I would give the food a rating of 5, the service a rating of 5, and the atmosphere a rating of 4. I would recommend trying the Sizzling Dish 51. Parking can be a bit challenging, so paid parking lots may be your best option. The price per person for a dinner meal is between £20-£30.

The staff at the restaurant were extremely friendly and the food was of excellent quality. We visited on a Saturday night at 7pm, which ended up being very busy and noisy. It was good value for money, but we may consider going back during the week for a quieter atmosphere. There is a large paid car park located 200m away on Bell Street, with no charge in the evenings. The service and food both received perfect scores of 5, while the atmosphere was rated a 4. Plenty of parking is available, but options for parking are limited. Overall, a positive dining experience.

The waiter was pleasant, but the owner/manager appeared to be in a sour mood and rarely cracked a smile. The food took a long time to arrive and seemed to be a lower priority compared to takeout orders. It was decent but not very hot, as if it had been sitting for a while. The grumpy owner suddenly removed the tablecloth without a word while we were still finishing our drinks. We will not be coming back. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30.

Very noisy and cramped although they were understanding when our guests were delayed. Very little vegetarian options and when the youngest member of our party asked for a dish she is used to they weren't taking her seriously and told her a dish would be mild , mum said no spice and it wascroo spicy. When ordering dessert they assumed she was only one having one, we had to call them back. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2
