Quick info
About Nana's Restaurant & Lounge
Nana's Restaurant & Lounge is a Lebanese restaurant on St Albans Road in Watford, with a separate lounge area for shisha and a broader menu that moves from falafel and shawarma into Turkish and Middle Eastern plates. The kitchen prepares halal food and offers vegan options alongside meat dishes such as lamb chops with rice. Fresh mint and lemon juice are mixed at the bar. Food arrives quickly, and the team works around eating restrictions when taking orders. The lounge side of the room extends the visit beyond the table, with shisha served alongside the food.

“Such a great find! We stumbled upon Nana’s when we came out of Watford Junction station. From the beginning we were made to feel very welcome, and were impressed with the extent of the menu and the very reasonable prices. We were seated in the lounge, and the atmosphere was comfortable and friendly. The staff were great, understanding of our eating restrictions and all in all very helpful. The food was served quickly, and it was beyond delicious! Fresh, tasty and good portions. We will definitely visit again when we’re in the area. Highly recommended.”

“Really good food, great service and good vegan options”
- Shervyn Cole
“Food was quite good but service was lacking. Staff a little inattentive, took a while to get their attention or they were not out on the floor. Not busy that night so they were just not around much. Website says there is Belly Dancing Fri and Sat but there was none, so site needs updating.”
