Havin Turkish Kitchen in St Albans

💯 good food, service, and ambience

We were visiting St. Albans, and It's not very often you come across an old style back street pub, but we were delighted to stumble across The Garibaldi. A wide selection of beers, we settled for a pint of London Pride. A wonderful atmosphere with the locals, we will definitely come back.

I booked an igloo for a surprise bday about 6 weeks ago… only to be cancelled by voicemail at 1.56pm on the day… 5.5 hours before the booking! To say we were fuming is an understatement.

Can’t believe it has taken us so long to visit Atesh. We stupidly believed some reviews going around that didn’t put Atesh in the best light but I’m pleased to say in the end we decided to be our own judges, so gave it a try on Saturday. It was great, the waiter and waitress were very attentive, the drinks and food were lovely. My husband and I started with a Margarita- delicious! We then all shared the cold mezzo to start, which we all devoured! Then followed by a sharing platter main for 4-5 people and it would definitely feed 5, we were 4. The meat was tender and salad lovely fresh and crisp. All washed down with some nice red Primitivo wine. I’d highly recommend people to give it a try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Fantastic place. Massive portions. I would say it does the best breakfast in St Albans. The place was clean, tidy and the staff were welcoming. My only complaint would be the noise. It is a very noisy cafe... Because it's so popular. The radio was definitely not needed and just added to the background noise which is annoying if you want to ha e a nice conversation or simply some peace
