Best Contemporary Indian Restaurants in Welwyn Garden City

Fabulous food, service and ambience! Everyone is so nice! The food is outstanding and I’ve been 7 times now and it is still my favourite! 😊

Very nice food. Travelled from Reading to sample this, and was not disappointed. This was also my 2nd visit, and there will be a 3rd.

We had not visited Chit Chaat since it first opened. We are glad we went back. Everything was so much tastier and better. The service was excellent too. Highly recommend the Amritsari Kulcha, chicken biryani and whole samosa chaat. Although everything we ate was delicious and I had a nice spicy margarita too.

As always great food and fantastic service. We always look forward to meals here

I was genuinely surprised to find such a gem on Kenton Road. Ustav delivered one of the best food and service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Every starter — pathe ki chaat, tandoori hummus, pani puri and kurkure bhindi — was full of flavour, fresh, and prepared with real attention to detail. The mains were just as impressive: the veg handi was beautifully spiced, the lasooni palak paneer had the perfect garlic balance, and the veg biriyani was aromatic and cooked exactly right. The plain roti, butter naan and laccha paratha were soft, warm, and served at the perfect time.What stood out even more was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. Since it was my birthday, they surprised me with a 20% discount, a 25% discount card for my next visit, and a complimentary dessert — such a kind gesture that made the evening feel special. The combination of amazing food, perfect portions, and exceptional hospitality puts Ustav well above most high‑street restaurants. A fantastic find and a place I’ll definitely return to.
