Havin Turkish Kitchen in St Albans

Visit this shop on a weekly basis with the family for take away - the staff are always so polite and friendly! The food is good value for money and plentiful! Nice to see them remaining open during lockdown whilst following the social distancing!

Ales are kept well, the upkeep is great, and the pizza was genuinely top notch

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.

Girls who walk lunch gathering - Tudors restaurant was recommended and booked on as a Groupon Steak and Prosecco deal. Not being a steak eater, this was swapped out for Fish and chips and was no problem for our accommodating waiting staff. Starter (Not part of the deal) was Shrimps with garlic butter and bread. Whilst this was quite enjoyable - the Grease from the garlic butter was excessive and not conducive for a pre-diabetic diet. The mains - Fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce. Was plentiful and chips nice and fluffy. The fish was not In my opinion fresh and the batter was over done. The mushy peas was dry and bland and I did not eat it or the Tartare sauce. Dessert (Not part of the deal) was Vanilla Ice cream and a welcomed treat on such a hot day/weather. All in all I was disappointed with the food and felt it was "Just okay". Will I visit again? The jury is out. Thanks for the friendly service though.

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.
