About Us
Create Memories at Tarboush
When we opened over 10 years ago, we had a simple vision: create a place where people could escape, relax, meet friends, and enjoy incredible food in a welcoming atmosphere. Watford embraced us, and we've been creating memories together ever since.
Inspired by Mediterranean Life
Tarboush takes its inspiration from the vibrant cafes of the Middle East, where friends gather to share mezza, sip coffee, and enjoy a shisha. The name comes from the traditional fez hats (tarboush) worn in these cafes - a nod to the relaxed, timeless culture we celebrate here.
We believe in good food, good company, and supporting our community. That's why we source from local independent suppliers whenever possible and treat every guest like family.
Let’s get the Party Started
Some nights at Tarboush are more than just dinner - they're an experience. Belly dancers might invite you to join in. A close-up magician might blow your mind. We've even had fire breathers and snake charmers. Want something extra special for your celebration? Give us a call - we love making magic happen.
The Shisha Experience
We offer an extensive selection of shisha flavors and blends, from classic favorites to exotic fruit heads. Not sure what to try? Our team will guide you.
What is shisha? It's flavored molasses smoked through a water pipe - a centuries-old Middle Eastern tradition for relaxation and connection. While some meet friends at the pub, others meet over shisha. It's about the ritual, the conversation, the moment.
You Belong Here
Whether you're catching up with friends, celebrating a milestone, or grabbing takeaway for lunch, we'd love to see you. Come as you are. Relax and enjoy. This is your escape.
Our Team Recommends
Share Like the Lebanese Do: Order mezza and mains for the table - it's all about connection, variety, and trying a bit of everything.

BYOB: Bring your favorite bottle for a small corkage charge. We'll provide the glasses and the good vibes.
Perfect for Everyone: We love parties and celebrations, but solo diners and couples get the same warm welcome.
