Aspava Restaurant in St Albans

Friendly and ethusiastic staff! The food was well presented... I had the lamb shish was a little dry but otherwise nice. The rice they serve with the dishes isnt enough for a whole portion so we had to order another rice. I like that they add Pomergranate and Blueberries to the rice. Nice outdoor seating setting. Would come again. Fair price. There is a carpark nearby within short walking distance.

We came here for an anniversary meal on a lovely warm and sunny Sunday so decided to sit outside as the atmosphere inside seemed a bit dull and dingy for such a lovely day and I'm so glad we did. It's a lovely space outside that makes you feel like you could be on holiday in the Mediterranean. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and kept checking up on us to make sure everything was OK. However the main reason you come to a restaurant is of course the food and I'm afraid it was a bit of a letdown. Two meals had to be sent back because they weren't warm enough and most of the meat in all dishes was overcooked and dry. They were also quite small portions and so I wasn't satisfied when finished. I think how you rate this place will depend on your experiences of Turkish restaurants as it wasn't terrible, it was just not up to the standard of others I've visited, particularly in the town of Hoddesdon where there are a couple and the meat quality is exceptional so this just came up sub par. There were also two mistakes on the bill so had to be sent back twice

Genuine Turkish food at a good price.Hidden gem in the city of St. Albans.The lunch set menu is just a great deal!

We really enjoyed our visit! The staff was very kind and welcoming, the food is absolutely delicious! We'll be coming back for more ❤️

Fantastic food. Great tasting food. Great drinks. Went with a few friends and had a lovely time. Very budget friendly as well for the quality of the food. Very good service and cheerful staff. Highly recommend.

We came with a large group for a couple of birthdays. We arrived and they had decorated the table and were great hosts. Surprise birthday cake , delicious food and made a meal really fun. Highly recommend !

My aunt recommended Aspava. From the moment we walked through the doors the service was great. We ordered from the lunch time menue which had 2 for £10 or 3 foe £12 i think. Starters came quickly and they were delicious... I ordered the lamb shish which came with rice salad and bread for my main... it was so tasty. Will definitely be coming back very soon.

Pleasant Turkish restaurant with friendly staff. Food well presented and equally tasty.Highly recommend

Fantastic food, wonderful staff and lovely atmosphere, definitely recommend and the set lunchtime menu is great value for money we will be back.

Fantastic team meal here last night. 14 people and not one had to wait for food and everyone commented on the taste and quality. The staff were attentive enough but allowed us to have a long awaited relaxed get together. Fantastic find, will definitely go back.
