I've only ever had a takeaway from here and always very happy. But actually went and had dinner in and was really happy. The food is great. The service was good. Beautiful decor. And although it was very late, the guys there looked after us and made sure we were taken care of.

I recently dined at The Don in Welwyn Garden City, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for a relaxing evening out. The service was exceptional; the staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. To start, we enjoyed an appetizer of papadoms and sundries, which were fresh and flavorful, providing a perfect balance of crunch and taste. For the main course, I opted for the jalfrezi with pilau rice. The dish was a delightful explosion of flavors, with just the right amount of heat and spice. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, and the pilau rice complemented the dish beautifully. My wife chose the chicken korma, and she was thoroughly impressed. The korma was subtly spiced, rich, and creamy, with tender pieces of chicken that melted in the mouth. It was a perfect choice for someone who enjoys milder dishes. Overall, our experience at The Don was fantastic. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was impeccable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent Indian dining experience in Welwyn Garden City.

The food was amazing! As a Belgian we don’t really have Indian places so this was a first for me and I will definitely be trying it whenever I can. Than you for the great introduction to Indian food!

Had a lovely meal at The Don tonight, the food was superb as it always has been since it opened I think 12 years ago. Great atmosphere and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Sometimes food standards go down when a place has been open a good while. I can 100% say The Don is still The Don and the food is still to die for, maybe that why it’s called The Don. Thanks again for a great meal and conversation. Neil - Local resident
