The Guru

Guru has been serving Indian food in Hemel Hempstead for over forty years, making it one of the longest-running curry houses in the town. The restaurant sits on Bridge Street at the edge of the Old Town and operates both as a sit-down restaurant and a takeaway. A banquet-night menu running Sunday to Tuesday — starter, main, side, rice or naan and coffee for under a tenner — has been a fixture of the offer for years and keeps the dining room busy mid-week. Google reviews average 4.4 from over 140 ratings, with frequent mentions of generous portions, food cooked without excess oil and consistently helpful service. Also listed as Guru Spice under its current trading identity.
