Decided to have an indian after some training and we needed some good food and we were not disappointed. Would highly recommend and would say one of the nicest and certainly cleanest restaurants around town. Very tasty fresh food. Love the warm plates and great service as well as the obligatory trolley. Don’t walk past, go in and try!! Sorry no pics as are the food to quickly.

What a find! We booked this restaurant as it was near our Air B&B, but this is no ordinary Indian restaurant. I have never experienced such warm hospitality. As the wonderful waitress said 'It's like welcoming you into our home'. Nothing was too much trouble, we weren't rushed. We were just very well 'looked after'. The menu was full of unusual and appetising options. My friends particularly enjoyed seeing the menu had 'Thali' which is like an Indian Tapas. Between the three of them they shared one meat and two vegetarian Thali. I had a delicious King Prawn curry with lentils, although they had the standard balti, madras etc also. The food was excellent. Even the poppadums tasted better than usual. I would definitely go back and recommend it if you are in St. Albans!

This restaurant makes lovely food, we really enjoyed it and the service was excellent and very friendly. I heartily recommend them. We actually initially ordered our takeaway via deliveroo (Take my advice NEVER use deliveroo!!) We ordered and 40 mins later a take away bag is dumped at our house. The wrong bag from the wrong restaurant and not only that but the food is falling out of the containers inside the bag. Horrendously dreadful delivery service from deliveroo. So now our evening is potentially ruined. We have visited this restaurant in the past so we knew they were good so we know we would enjoy the food and that this is not the sort of service they would want to give. We phone the restaurant to explain what has happened. We know it is not their fault but we believe they really need to know. One of their chefs has put time and effort into preparing food and probably packed it really well and the deliveroo rider hasn't cared one bit about them or us. We are advised to ask for a refund from deliveroo (which we do). The restaurant immediately offer to recook our order for us again if we are happy to go and collect it directly from them. We are happy to do that and we are able to enjoy a takeaway from them half and hour later. Rescuing what our evening. They were so friendly, helpful and quick to rectify a problem that wasn't their fault. Thank you to The Alban.

Been coming here for years and we absolutely love it! The food quality is amazing and the family-run atmosphere and warm welcome makes this our favourite restaurant in St Albans. "The Ruby" is my favourite dish, followed closely by "Red Fort". Looking forward to my next visit (this Saturday!)

I had the slow cooked lamb shank and it’s the best lamb I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend!

I would give 6 stars if I could. I asked for the hottest curry possible but still wanted flavour. I usually ask this when going for a curry. There are places that try to serve hot curries (usually not hot enough for my taste), and 9 times out of ten it’s a disappointment but …. THIS place was different! 11 out of 10. The combination of heat and flavour was mind blowing. I don’t say this easily. This was the best combination of heat and flavour I’ve ever experienced. I will so come back and make sure everyone I know knows how awesome this place is!

Found this beautiful little Indian restaurant via Google search on a day trip from Croydon, stopped off with my wife for dinner and from start to finish it was so lovely.Walking in we was shown to a table straight away, the owners and staff where so polite and attentive.The Food was extremely flavoursome and portions where just right for the price.Highly recommend a visit to this Indian! We will definitely return even if it is a 2 hour drive away!Thank you for a lovely meal and great service.
This is the best tandoori in st Alban's. Fresh food amazing atmosphere too. don't go anywhere else also don't get confused with st Alban's tandoori in st peters st miles apart in food quality. Properly recommended ps miss eden dad ?

Great food here. We got a take away on deliveroo and the restaurant was so helpful and catered to a nut allergy. Everything we ordered was beautiful. Will definitely be ordering from here again.
