The best restaurants in St Albans East of England

Best fish and chips around, Chinese food available too. However, today, they opened the doors after 12 when opening time is stated as 1145am on the door. The assistant did not know why they opened late. She assured me she would speak with the owner. I explained to her that 6 potential customers walked into nearby food premises due to them not being opened. Busiest time of day, and nothing was cooked yet.

April 2023…I have eaten all round St. Albans, every curry house and takeaway since the 1970s from the days of the Koh-I-Noor and onward, and all I can say is, this takeaway is right up there for service, and curries. It’s now my option for every takeaway when I fancy a curry, their food is simply superb. I can’t fault it, and I’ve had several since I started using it this year. Highly recommend 10/10…..April 23rd 2024 - City spice a year on? Sad to say it’s gone downhill, several of the last orders had issues, consistency being a real problem, onion bhajis were hit and mainly miss! what a difference a year makes? Last nights dupiaza curry was swimming in oil, that’s never happened before, something is not good, quality matters. I Decided to give city spice another chance today 2/7/2024 after speaking with manager of city spice, and they came up trumps! Very good food all round, onion bhajis were the best I’ve had in a long time, dupiaza and Bombay aloo were superb, in all! The best food that couldn’t be faulted, the quality and food were 10/10, the manager promised change if I would order again which I did, they delivered, first class meal, if consistency is maintained? I would highly recommend👍👍👍👍👍 it’s good to see the consistency and quality, their onion bhajis have been very good and superb each time ordered, keep up the quality guys🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

Great service and relaxing atmosphere for a tasty cooked breakfast.

Good real ale. Outside seating. Easy parking. Friendly service

Great food! Loved it!! Defo coming back again!!

Unfortunately not dog friendly, despite most more-upmarket places in the area being very accommodating for dogs

We have just had a most enjoyable lunch at The Three Horseshoes Smallford. All 4 of us found the food delicious, & served with a smile from the lovely Tricia, who was both friendly & efficient - she made us laugh ! We will be back……🍻🥂

Went before a night at EMC for show . Very friendly staff , good service . Answered any questions I had . Food was great and wine was good .

The female serving messed up the order and, instead of apologising, argued and behaved disgracefully. I had invited friends to sample the pub with the hope of gaining it extra custom for the excellent Sunday roast. After this, they won't be back. 17.4.24

Our server Wiola was brilliant. She was patient, accommodating and very helpful. She had great knowledge of the menu and was so friendly. My family and I would visit again thanks to the service we received from her!

Was there for 3 minutes and was asked 3 times by try bouncer when we were going to order drinks. Very uncomfortable vibe had to leave.

It’s wonderful and would recommend

Nice Chinese take away, but restricted as doesn't accept anything but cash. Also does not deliver.

This is a cafe inside of a Sainsbury's (stevenage branch) , today they aren't selling toasties because they have "run out of cheese". I guess nobody can be bothered to walk over to the cheese aisle? Ridiculous to run out of ingriedients when they're inside a supermarket.
