Verandah — Restaurant in Dacorum

Original 1 star review - “Don’t trust delivery our coke (£3.5) was already opened with a broken seal…. Not sure what else they did with food”

Edit - Thank you for being helpful and correcting an error with the drinks. I am editing this review to reflect how the food actually tasted as I just needed to get the point across that drinks for customers shouldn’t mingle with drinks for restaurant! The food wasn’t half bad and we got a lot for the price but it lacked a lot of the flavor I have with similar Indian dishes. I know because I am boring and always order the same thing whenever I go to an Indian restaurant. Pros: Fast/good delivery service and Portion size. Neutrals: Food wasn’t particularly special. Cons: Just a little bit more care with what is being sent to customers. For that reason I think it’s fair...

Just finished eating and coming back home from varandah. Fine dine kind of experience with table cloth & cutlery. ✅ Prompt service and well organised staff✅ Ambiance was decent with warm inviting lighting ✅ Food was good too ✅ specially pappadums with chutneys. Garlic mushroom was tasty but too salty! 🙄 In mains tarka daal was delicious but could have been better with more of a tarka. (was kind of blend) and we tried vegetable tikka morrisa which was more of a onion tikka*literally one full sliced white onion in tikka spicy gravy. Flop 👎

Highlight was GARLIC NAAN. 👌 ✅ Fluffy and full of flavour. Pure delish. Can have it on its own.

Overall it was a decent experience at Varandah. We are from London city so don't know about when we'll go back.

Anyway. Try it. Review...

Just had my second curry takeaway from here. First one was not my taste and thought I'd ordered incorrectly. Tonight asked for the same dish (Lamb Koraigh) with sauce. Tasteless with little spice to convince me it was a curry and not worth the problem of parking near and collecting this. If this is the standard of food from this establishment I'm not sure the locals have tasted better elsewhere. Pity! I will not be going back. Wish Id gone home and put the chicken and leak pie in the oven. Id say it was the equivalent of going to watch a horror movie and ending up watching Charlie and the...
