Spice 85 — Restaurant in St Albans

I live in the area and I've walked passed this place multiple times and have been curious to come and try it, which i finally did on Sunday night with my mate. As soon as we came in at 7pm ish, about a third of the restaurant was full and we were given our seats. The interior was very nice and classy, and the place had a high quality look. We sat down, was given poppadoms with some great sauces, it tasted insane. I got the lamp chops for starters, were amazing, and then Chicken Relaza for main, and the best part is that in between courses, you don't get hungry, because you have the poppadoms. And the food seriously tastes ridiculously good. Anyway, I left and started walking home with my mate, it was really cold, and after about 10 minutes, i realised i left my phone, so we had to walk all the way back, to find one of the waiter Kush, wearing a jacket and telling us he had just ran trying to find us to give me my phone, which was obviously really nice of him. Anyway I got my phone back, spoke to Kush for a bit with my mate, and then he offered to drive us home, which was amazingly kind of him, on top of how cold it was. Anyway, probably the best restaurant...

Great service from Spice 85, my mate and I went for a quick dinner tonight and my god the food was fantasitic! All the staff were extremely helpful and sociable, when my friend ordered his meal a bit too spicy, the waiter immediately offered to sort it out without us even complaining or mentioning it, came back 2 minutes later with the food all sorted. Where to even start with the meals, I had the Tandoori Lamb chops and for the first time in my life I've wanted to use the word exquisite to describe food, the food was absolutely top notch, felt like I was in the middle of Dhaka, the food was authentic fresh and filled with the most lovely spices and herbs! The drink menu was expansive and great, and the cherry on top of the already massively delicious cake is that when my friend left his phone at the restaurant, the manager Kush ran up the hill in -3 degrees weather to try find us but unfortunately he couldn't, when we came back he graciously offered to give us a lift back home and it was life saver, an absolutey amazing guy along with all the staff! Terrific night, will be seeing...
