The best restaurants serving Asian food in St Peters St Albans East of England

Excellent menu, great staff. The acoustics are very good, not a deafening background roar, I could actually hear my dinner companions!

Having a dairy allergy and being aware that Indian is not somewhere I can usually eat, I emailed before booking to ask for their allergy menu or to ask if they could tell me what dishes could be made dairy free. The response I got was ‘please tell your waiter when ordering as anything on the menu can be made dairy free’ With this response we booked for 4 people for last Saturday night. I was genuinely looking forward to being able to have a lovely Indian meal out. On arrival and being given menus I mentioned to the waiter that I had a diary allergy and had emailed before booking. There was complete confusion and the staff had no idea what I was talking about or how to deal with it. After speaking to another waiter the manager then came over. Again a lack of understanding and language barrier prohibited the discussions. The manager then proceeded to tell me that not everything could be made dairy free, I could have fish or vegetarian dish or the ‘lamb doesn’t soak up much of the yoghurt when it’s marinated’ so you could have that aswell. That’s just an unbelievable comment for an allergy. I don’t eat fish and I hadn’t come out to have a vegetarian dish. I wanted to order a chicken dish and was told that it’s all pre marinated in yoghurt so this wasn’t possible. I can only take from that that the chicken is brought in already marinated so not made fresh as you are led to believe. There was no understanding or accommodation for the fact that I had emailed in prior to booking and that was the reason we booked. Their understanding of allergies is slim to non so I would not recommend to anyone. Overall very disappointing and we left not having dinner as it couldn’t be catered for as confirmed via email beforehand. We tried multiple times to explain to the waiter and manager the issues which were disregarded/dismissed or not understood. This is pretty disgraceful customer service and left a very bitter taste on our evening out. For somewhere that tries to put themselves above the norm I can’t say i would waste my time or money in visiting. There are many other places which offer a much better service all round.

This is a really underrated place to eat at. I always go for lunch (never do takeaway) every once in a while. I can vouch for the freshness, quality and portions. I really enjoy trying different meals and I always end up very impressed. Staff is nice and food is prepared on spot so waiting time is reasonable and worth the wait. I recommend this place for lunch. The lunch special deal is affordable and tasty.

Unfortunately the taste of the meal was not very good, the chicken that had sauce on look ok but when I tasted it, it was dry and very hard to eat and did not taste nice and the rice looked ok but the same thing the taste was so bad and very stodgy. Very disappointing as I have had better from this restaurant in the past.
