The Alban: Reviews & Ratings
Best Indian food I’ve tried in the UK. And the service is so nice!
The best Indian Restaurant in St Albans. Extremely consistent, very well run and the staff all have a commitment and a passion for cooking and service. Eating in or takeaway (it delivers as well) we've always found it just great. I've some ten years of local experience now too and have tried all the competitors. Definitely recommended, it's run by a lovely family and is extremely good value too. Damn, I am getting hungry just thinking about it now.
Lovely meal for three. Chicken biryani, ruby and dark moon lamb. All lovely and tasty. Service was good and friendly. Reasonably priced.
We have ordered many times and tonight we ate at the restaurant. The food is amazing and the people are lovely, highly recommend this restaurant.
I come here year after year and the food never disappoints it’s absolutely delicious with lovely staff. The staff squeezed us in on New Year’s Eve and were very accommodating.
Fantastic flavours. This is such a little gem of a restaurant. Friendly welcoming atmosphere with lovely staff and a real family run feel. We will be back.
Their food was a little bit salty but still tasty. I have high blood pressure so may be I am too sensitive to salt but we had good dinner experience overall..
Small restaurant with great Indian food. The lamb shank was our favorite dish. The portions were huge!
