Tabure St.Albans — Restaurant in St Albans

Ever since they opened, I've been for family gatherings, social events and dates and every time it has not disappointed.

The staff are always welcoming and have a positive attitude. They are attentive, happily explaining the menu and how food should be ordered making recommendations.

The menu itself doesn't overwhelm with choice and is perfect for those with all tastes. There are plenty of veggie options and the wine is impeccably selected.

The food is absolutely delicious and very well presented. The quality is evident. The portion sizes are perfect and not just stomach fillers (e.g. excess bread or rice). Every bite feels worth it. Please be aware that this restaurant is about sharing and each dish is made for it. There are no 'courses'. It's about ordering the dishes you want and they will arrive when ready.

With all the above in mind, this does mean that the prices are on the higher end and with alcohol you can expect to spend around £40 per person if you also include desserts (which are also incredible, especially the Creme brûlée). This might seem expensive, but remember, it's about the experience, not just the food! Tabure is worth every penny in my humble opinion.

If it's just the two of you and you'd like something different with a significant other, I'd highly suggest requesting seats at the chefs table over looking the charcoal grill! It's amazing watching the chefs work their magic and adds so much to the experience that most restaurants...

The food was amazing! I’ve known about this restaurant for a while but only just decided to go last minute and boy was it the best last minute decision I made.

First of all the staff are amazing. Abigail our waitress was really friendly and knew the menu well but also was able to relay feedback from other customers about particular dishes which I thought was a nice touch. The chef at the main cooking station was also very friendly and knowledgeable. A man who I believe was the owner was really friendly and you can see that he looks after his staff as the same attitude and friendliness filters down through to the rest of the team.

Now time for the food! The food was absolutely sensational! We tried a few different dishes I’d recommend the halloumi which was just insane it had a nice sauce and was cooked in a way that I’ve never experienced! The beef kofte just bursted with flavour I was expecting flavour but not to this level, I literally had a euphoric moment when my eyes rolled to the back of my head! There was also a lamb dish which was amazing it had a really nice purée and was cooked to perfection . Oh and the olives, easily the best olives I’ve had. I’ll l 100% come back again and try...

Lovely lovely lovely!

The food was amazing, the service really nice; my friend and I had a lovely evening in this restaurant yesterday. We ordered 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 vegetable sides and it was all amazing. Unfortunately I don't remember half of the names of the dishes😆 we had the fried halloumi with marmalade and harissa on top, as a starter, as well as an aubergine paste which was lovely as well, tuna tartare with pistachio cream and avocado as a main, rice on the side, and a dish with chickpeas and aubergines that my friend, who is a chef, fell in love with. It was a proper experience with different food from a different place.

The atmosphere was peaceful, the staff friendly. We were very happy to be there, and when we paid the bill, which of course was much more expensive than a fast food, we were just glad to have chosen such a place for our evening out. Thanks everyone.

(Ps- the presentation was much better than what my pics show, but I was in a rush to try everything when it was still hot so I messed...
