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

My favourite restaurant in town. I've tried almost all the items on the menu, and have never been let down. From halloumi burgers to chicken skewers to the burgers and steaks. Real food at unbelievable prices. Have been going since 2014, and whenever i am away from home, i always find myself craving a 'Laurel'

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 were booked in at 7 ready for Elvis tribute night…. No drinks until gone 8 pm no mains until 10 pm , no desserts offered , no explanations, no apologies…. Need I say more… Saying all that Elvis was great😁

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

Amazing guys. I totally messed up my order and they sorted it for me. The food was also lovely

The dinner was really amazing, from starter to dessert 🤩 including red wine Guerrouane! That was a great experience 👍

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.

Delicious souvlaki, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. Staff were lovely at all times .We had so much fun and will definitely be back!”

A really spot on restaurant! The hash browns are honestly something else and something you must get. I was surprised with the healthy portion you get A nice chill vibe, a really enjoyable way to start the day. The discount you get for the deli on your way out is a lovely touch, also.
