The best restaurants in Harpenden West St Albans East of England

As ever the Thompsons Close cafe team have looked after us with their friendliness and warm and kind atmosphere. An oasis of peace in a busy world.

The egg, cucumber, avocado and tofu sushi platter from BentoZo was fresh and very nicely presented, with a perfect balance of sweetness, creaminess, and crunch. Highly recommend!

We found this coffee shop thanks to the sign in the alley way . We came in through the side gate to a lovely garden space. Then headed inside where there are a couple of tables tucked away. We ordered 4 drinks and sweet and savory baked goods from what was available on display. The savoury scone was delicious and the peanut butter cookie cup was amazing. Great for a catch up over coffee.

Really good food. PLACE NOW DOESN'T EXIST.

Lunch chicken Milanese served on small plate. Pasta in a sauce obviously from a jar with a lump of chicken breaded on top£20.00! My husband had the pasta same sauce obviously from same jar £16.00. Total rip off No wonder you are not busy overpriced and poor quality food.

Great service with great food. Will be coming again. Loved it ❤️

Me and my boyfriend frequently get the chicken Katsu and sushi from here. It never disappoint, the chicken Katsu has a generous portion of Rice and Chicken, with plenty of sauce. The sushi is also always so fresh with a great variation to choose from. Staff are helpful and friendly, very lovely family.

We went here for lunch as we were passing by and the deals looked good and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Nice to have the choice! We were given a warm welcome and had a great experience from start to finish. The chicken gyro was top notch with really good quality chicken and a generous amount of it. The pitta was fluffy and delicious and the chips were disc-shaped instead of usual shape and they were superb! I’ve not been for dinner, but it’s certainly a great lunch spot.

We had several starters. Very excellent! The main courses were also a hit. Wonderfully seasoned and made from excellent ingredients. The service was attentive and very friendly. Highly recommended!

It was unusually busy for a Tuesday but that was no excuse for the poor service from the male manager who was in such a rush he didn't take the spare cutlery or offer me a drink. He then almost threw down my starter before any drinks had arrived. The pate had a lovely texture but I could not taste the mushrooms although the chutney was very tasty and not too sweet. I opted for the goats cheese salad which looked lovely and colourful but unfortunately lacking flavour and crunch, the goats cheese itself was good. Luckily the very efficient, professional and calm waitress saved my experience and despite being busy took time to pay me attention and give genuine check back. She should be the Manager.

I have eaten in here before quite a few times, at the previous location in Vaughan Road. The food was always very good and the staff were always friendly. This time I fancied a delivery which was very swift, well organized and the food is still very good. Sorry, no pics as there is nothing left :)

Absolutely delicious! Had the half chicken and it was so tasty, and great value for how much food there was. Will definitely be ordering again

Happy buzzing ambience and delicious home cooked food. The calamari were cooked to perfection with the lightest delicious batter. I had the seafood 'Mare' risotto, which was creamy and rich with a hint of chilli. It is hard to improve on this, especially as it was all topped off with friendly and effortlessly efficient service. Thank you.

After pre-dinner celebrations at Home, we went to Lussmans for dinner in the intimate and atmospheric private dining room. Everyone was delighted with Marianna and Jeddai's exceptional service. The food was excellent, as friends who had never experienced Lussman's qualities before commented! We all left happy the memories will live on.

The food was amazing. Best fish and chips i have had in a long time
