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

Another fantastic meal at Laurel House. Everything was absolutely delicious. The kids all had burgers which they loved and I had chicken which had an excellent peri peri kick! The chips are amazing!!

The food was delicious. Fresh and cooked perfectly. The lady serving us wonderful, helpful. A lovely little cafe, worth trying their tasty Greek food and breakfasts. Coffee good and fruit juice freshly made. What a wonderful way to start the day :-)

We booked a table for 7 on NYE 2024. We all had a great night, live singer and belly dancing. The food was great, the Service was excellent ! We also eat here on a regular basis and its a very good restaurant. Regards Richard and Noura Dear

How had I not been here before? Food was great and so was the service. Will be back soon.

We were very disappointed that again, on our second visit to Okka for lunch, the front of house staff showed an incredible lack of awareness of my wife's Gluten and Dairy intolerances despite having made this clear when booking a table and then at the point of giving our order and finally at the moment the food was delivered to the table. We made it very clear to the server that the choice of dishes from the set 2 course menu for my wife needed to be both Dairy and Gluten free and checked with her if this was understood. On the arrival of the food it became immediately clear (fortunately) that they had completely ignored this request and had a served up the meal complete with a standard pitta bread and rice cooked with butter. When this was pointed out to the waiter he looked completely nonplussed and had to be told to go back to the kitchen to confirm that the pitta was GF and the rice was simply plainly cooked without dairy. The plate was eventually returned without both rice and pitta and without any apology for getting it wrong. After 10 minutes a side plate of GF bread was brought to the table BUT STUPIDLY COMPLETE WITH A PACK OF FULL DAIRY BUTTER! So sorry but this lack of understanding of even the simplest allergen requirements, both front of house in the kitchen causes grave concern and the lack of training needs to be urgently addressed by the management before serious harm occurs to a customer.

Went Sunday lunchtime, not planned. Very pleasantly surprised as expecting normal Mediterranean, but this was more. That the chef took the trouble to separately poach the pear in cinnamon and brown sugar as a garnish to the deep fried goats cheese with apple chutney, is an example of the care and effort taken here.

Great food and the waitress was truly amazing, nothing was too much. So a big thanks to Alida and the rest of the team for a wonderful dinner!

Staff wasn’t welcoming, they were looking at me like why did you come? No welcome, no hi, no smile, no what can I get you… The food was over seasoned, I didn’t feel my tongue after dinner. I won’t come back again…

We had a delicious family lunch with impeccable service from the lovely staff. Highly recommend it for an atmospheric, great value informal bite!

Had a fantastic night in aspava, staff absolutely wonderful and fantastic food for great price!

Arrived at 18:00 on a Friday. The food prep staff were hard at it catering to a an almost full group of diners plus a continuous flow of collections. Service is pmopt based on a well oiled machine of activity. I started with whitebait with flatbread followed by the veggie platter.. falafel, halloumi, vegetables in a tomato sauce and a mix of tasty rice and salad. The £14.95 bill was excellent value.

Don't go on a weeknight. Allegedly open til 11pm but very keen for you to pay and leave as early as possible.

Lovely meal at Megan’s. Our waitress Emily was nothing less than delightful and dealt with our awkward crowd incredibly well! Hope they know what a star they have there, will definitely be back
