8.5/10Loved the food, pretty spicy wings but there was a chilli icon on the menu! Main course a hanging lamb kebab and very nice. Wine a reasonable price and like ambience of place, getting busier as we left, we ate 6pm Sunday. Remember it when it was a bar years back so bought back good memories!

8.5/10Had a fantastic time at Thekaa! Their menu is wonderfully diverse, offering both traditional favorites and regional specialties, such as the mouthwatering Chilli Cheese Toast and flavorful Black Daal – both highly recommended. What truly distinguishes this restaurant is the attentive staff and the personal attention from the owner, who took the time to chat with us. For a memorable dining experience, Thekaa is definitely the place to go.

9.5/10Great addition to Watford. A bit hidden away but loved the food. Much better than the usual curry houses.

8/10Nice place but awkward to get to if you aren't familiar with the area. Service was good , considering they had a new waitress. Bit more practice and she'll be fine. Food was okay. Mains were not bad but needs improving. The batter on the fish and chips was way too thick but a really good amount of chips. Kebabs were a bit tough but at least you know they were cooked. Nice taste though. Keema Pau was lovely. Dessert, we had a slice of fudge cake which could have done with a bit of cream or a small scoop of ice cream. There is potential here, there really is it a few things need to be tightened up.
