The best restaurants in St Albans East of England

First of all let me say the building, decorations and everything internal is stunning and the staff are delightful. The food, not so much. Our guests had toasties, I've never seen such a small square of bread on the plate, no bits of salad on side. It looked dreadful and they were disappointed. My pizza was very mean on the pepperoni , and was greasy and my husbands burger and chips was ok but The burger was a very thin one. We had come all the way from Guildford to meet our Grandaughter's partner so didn't want to make an issue, but sadly won't return.

I’ve placed an order and the food was absolutely vile!!! I’ve got a omelet with mushrooms and the mushrooms were not cooked at all raw muchrooms inside and a chicken curry with rice and salt and pepper chips the curry was cold and definitely under cooked this is ridiculous behaviour I’ve rang the shop and explained everything they suggested I went to the shop and but the phone down on me when I went to the shop they refused a refund for there uncooked food what kind of a Chinese is this !!!!!!!!!! St Albans do better !!!!!!!!

unreal food. good service, can’t ask for much more they helped me out for my selection and it was magnificent

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

Fabulous Fish & Chips! Cooked to order by the welcoming charming team. They were a delight and I would definitely recommend it.

Cappuccino was awful, far too hot and totally tasteless. I know this is a tea shop but if you can’t make coffee don’t offer it! The panini we ordered was also very poor.....served nuclear hot, completely flat and without any garnish or love.

My favourite local coffee spot. Great coffee, friendly faces, good selection of lunch bite and pastries. Fresh juice selection if you need a bit of healthy option. Perfect for meetings and remote work if you need to get out of the house and change a scen. Parking around the corner and they have loyalty programme.

Great selection of drinks, nice staff

They have now put little fans around the food! A good idea and one that made me buy food from here again - I highly recommend the chicken and avocado sandwich. The coffee is some of the best around too.

What a great night. wWell done to the staff too, really friendly bar staff rushed off their feet but kept smiling. Great atmosphere.

Best kebab shop in Harpenden. Great food at a reasonable price, with lots of option. Staff are always super friendly and polite.

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!

Fav place in St Albans to eat! Lovley staff, love the music they have on and the food is such good value. My and my friends used to sit in here for hours so many good mems🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Bland, bland and more bland! Ordered a takeaway after reading the positive reviews. All I can say is don’t believe everything you read on Tripadvisor. Pad Thai was really disappointing. Green Curry was so bland, had better from a packet. Overall very disappointed.
