The Fat Buddha in Dacorum

Very tasty food and lovely helpful personnel. Definitely worth visiting.

Firstly, all parking is on street, there are a few bays across the road from the restaurant if you're lucky, but if not give yourself time to find a spot around the streets; you may also need a 5-10 min walk. We had a reservation so we were shown to our table immediately. The menu is varied and has some old favourites but also some more modern and varied dishes. Took us a while to choose as there is so much choice, and all sounds good. So pick 'n' mix across the four of us, was the best option. Service was attentive, and the food came up in good time. The food was tasty. It was the first time there and would return, but where we live has IMO, a number of Indian restaurants of equal quality, albeit not some of the more modern and varied dishes.

Attractive interior with suitable service. The place was about 60% full on a Friday night. We were taken to our table and quickly given menus. It didn't take long for drinks and poppadoms to arrive. However, I did have to prompt for our food order to be taken after some time.The food was well presented and well portioned. Unfortunately, the seasoning of the curries did not match the seasoning of the sides and breads, which meant the tastes of the curries were not fully realised. That said, even with appropriate seasoning I don't think the curries would have lived up to my expectation - the price of the food is at the higher end for Indian restaurants in the area, though I have had better for cheaper. The food wasn't terrible by any means, but it was disappointing.

Went last night as a group of 6 and found it to be a very expensive curry! The final bill was around £400 which included drinks but not excessive amounts. We weren’t given any after dinner mints or complimentary drink at the end which I found odd. My partner and I shared a starter, a side dish and rice but we still had to pay well over the odds I thought considering we didn’t have a dish each. I don’t think we would go back there. The naan bread was nice but the curry wasn’t particularly good compared to other Indian restaurants I have been to. We were recommended the duck starter which they said was amazing but when it arrived it wasn’t anything special. All in all, I would say it’s a nice restaurant but way overpriced!

Heard this was the best place in berkhamsted, but wasn't impressed unfortunately.We had a meal with 6 friends.Throughout the night we would order drinks and not get them, after two or three times of asking again they would finally appear, sometimes doubled up.The ladies toilets didn't have any loo roll.It took over an hour just to get our mains, with the whole evening of three courses lasting over 3 hours.Glasses were taken that we were using and finished ones wouldn't get taken away even after asking.After pudding the table cloth was changed and we all had to pick up our drinks for this, which I haven't seen done anywhere else before.All in all not a great experience. The food was good though and staff friendly.

First time coming to the restaurant. Lovely decor nice mellow music and great service.Hadha (hope I spelt that right) was our waiter. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and very friendly. Thank you for making our visit a great experience 👊🏽

We celebrated my husband's birthday yesterday at The Fat Buddha. As we are both vegan we weren't sure if the restaurant would cater for vegans, as some Indian restaurants use ghee in their 'vegan' dishes. We didn't need to worry. The food was of a very high standard and if fact it was the best Indian meal I've ever had.We enjoyed the food so much that we will be visiting the restaurant next week. The service (provided by Jay) was superb as well.

Having just returned from a long stay in the sub Continent and trying genuine Indian food I was not looking forward to eating in the so called Indian restaurant but my mind has been changed.The food was second only to the service offered by Jay. He recommended the special Buddha chicken and I'm still licking my lips. Top notch food even better service. Definitely going back...

We normally love this restaurant and it is our go-to for Indian food in the area. Unfortunately our take out meal yesterday was not up to the usual high standard we have come to expect. The two vegetable curries we ordered (dansak and bhuna) were swimming in oil and were difficult to eat. Everything else was fresh and delicious and we will of course be back. But please a bit less oil!

Awesome food and even more Fantastic service from Mebs & the team at Fat Buddha!Enjoyed an impromptu Friday night out and the staff team were excellent, attentive and super friendly despite the restaurant being close to capacity. We never felt rushed, nice ambience & food made for a great evening.
