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

salad came in a plastic bag, veggies was burned, and the chicken butter blahhh

Fantastic dining experience! The dishes are both visually stunning and delicious. The service is top-notch, making every visit a pleasure. Highly recommend for a special night out

Food nice. Good service. Poor toilet facilities in mens room. No soap available to wash hands. Asked staff for soap and he shrugged shoulders and said no there is no soap. I think this is disgusting in a food place 😕. Puts me off going again. Wonder is staff actually wash hands or the kitchen ?

WOW!!! Incredibly tasty . Every dish was a taste bud sensation. Spotlessly clean, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Allure ( not sure if spelling is correct) was just lovely . Best food ever ! Thank you for a great evening.

My friend and I had a pre theatre meal here on 10/10/24 , the staff service and atmosphere was super , we said when we ordered we were going to a show , the food was prompt and hot and delicious and the staff remembered where we were going and wished us a good evening .This was our first visit here and we look forward to comming back .

We arrived at what appeared a charming, characterful, old building. That was the highlight! Inside is the opposite and we were greeted with "your table is down there, second on the left" To give you some insight, I have been to Thailand many times, have many Thai friends and have eaten Thai cuisine with them, in Thailand and many Thai restaurants. The food we were served in the Golden Elephant is not representative of Thai food nor good, well cooked fresh food of any description. The Chinese mushrooms with bamboo shoots was in fact 3/4 of one close cupped mushroom with some very soggy out of date bamboo shoots. The Weeping Tiger that we asked to be cooked med rare was cooked until it was crispy. The chicken with ginger was slimy and bland. The sizzling seafood mix was 4 prawns and a few half scallops in a bland sauce. The aromatic duck was overcooked and nothing about it was aromatic. Each portion was small, bland, over cooked and failed to taste like fresh ingredients that were stir fried by a competent Chef. I know that my Thai friends would have sent it all back as would I if I hadn't been taken there by friends who have not before eaten good Thai food and I didn't want to offend them. There are many good Thai restaurant in Hertfordshire but stay away from this place.

Best curry I’ve had from you, royal chicken tikka, thank you

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.

OMG had chicken tikka takeaway rice and garlic nann absolutely the best . And service is wonderful Thank you so much the food is amazing best in Buntingford by far !!! 10/8/24.

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.
