Excellent variations to choose from, food was amazing, well worth a visit.
We have always received a warm welcome, there is plenty of fine food to choose from prepared and served to high standards, Cafe Jeera is our Indian Restaurant of choice been going there for years now and it's always a pleasant night out at the end of a hard week. But why wait just until the weekend it's great anytime.
Now 1971. Some friends took us here this eve and it did not disappoint. Lovely interior and very attentive staff who managed that magical ability to appear when you need them then leave you alone when you don't. The menu has a good choice, mainly the old faves but with some chef signature dishes too. Food was very good. My coke was a bit flat though. I'd say this restaurant is a cut above the average. Only slight snag was a large table next to us was very noisy and made us want to leave, so we didn't check out the puds.
First visit. Recommended. Close to Harpenden Train Station. Intimate restaurant, nicely decorated. 6pm booking, restaurant was moderately busy. Friendly, attentive service. I noticed they served individual mixer bottles, superior drink quality. Over 70 % of your drink is a mixer.
Food was authentic and very enjoyable.
Came away, eager to re-visit. Service charge Inc.
Good atmosphere 👌🏼 great service the waiters are very attentitive to yours needs. The loved their combination of dips they serve with the papadoms. I have not come across any other restaurant that does such a nice selection especially the diced onions in a flavourful sauce 😋 The main menu was good and I would definitely eat here again to try some of the other dishes. BTW the place is under refurbishments so you need to look beyond the lack of decor and not judge the place but it's food
Restaurant has changed name to 1971, food is still excellent, definitely will be back
Exceptional service and outstanding food! Came for dinner with friends and the team surpassed our expectations of Cafe Jeera. Food arrived promptly, cooked and served to a high standard! Special thanks to Nibras and team for taking care of us this evening! If you’re looking for authentic and classic south Asian food in Harpendem, definitely do go here! Thanks again and looking forward to coming back! :) 5/5 stars
Friendly, attentive staff that treat us the same Everytime we visit with manners, courtesy and great deal of respect. Whenever we visit we look to try something new and Cafe Jeera never fails to deliver. Naz is always ready to listen to what we want and goes above and beyond to make sure we are looked after.
Best Indian restaurant and take away in Harpenden, hands down. Consistently delicious, never disappoints and the staff are wonderful.
Have visited previously but what can I say massive change and improvement on all front. cannot thank the new management at cafe zeera enough! Had large number of guests turn up at mine last min which resulted in me calling around local restaurants to see if who had availability, was told yes! The two brothers Naz & Nibras went above and beyond with service and in this day and age you don’t get that service in Indian restaurants. Food was delicious and presented well, we were a party of 22 and each persons food tasted amazing! Thanks again gentlemen & see you in couple weeks again!
The waiters were friendly and helpful. They cleared my spilled wine with no fuss, and kept refilling our drinks for free. But, this restaurant has a hygiene rating of three. And it shows. The plates had remnants of food on them, and my chicken jalfrezi was undercooked. The food was expensive for the relatively low quality, I would eat there if I had to. There are much better Indian restaurants, even on the same road.
Lovely & clean! Staff absolutely amazing, down to earth, helpful, friendly! Food was delicious! Thankyou very much, will definitely return & definitely recommend!
