Our go-to restaurant back home in the Shire. Incredible service, lovely atmosphere and the French-Asian food is never anything less than stunning. This evening our amuse-bouche came in the form of a mini chicken kebab with tamarind sauce, perfectly spicy enough tickle the tongue. For starters, I shared the mixed seafood plate, with a juicy grilled king prawn, super soft salmon tikka and sesame swordfish, all with whirls and artful smears of accompanying chutneys, sauces and accoutrements (including crunchy purple mini pickled onion!).
But as ever, the showstopper was the fillet of beef I had for my main. Beautifully cooked to pink perfection, this hunk of buttery soft steal came with carrots, pommes fondant, herb butter, a Port wine glaze of duxelle wild mushrooms, shallots, wilted spinach, celeriac puree & veal jus, all topped with crunchy shards of crisp parsnip. On the side we also ordered spicy 'gunpowder' potatoes, mushrooms with truffle and spinach and a basket of crispy naan flavoured with basil and chilli and garlic and cilantro.
This is French-Asian fusion at its utter best! Chad, the head chef has been repeatedly invited on Masterchef, yet won't leave his kitchen, he is there every night pouring love into every plate he sends out- and it shows.
Wonderful place to experience Indian food in st Alban's. We found this gem of a place through its high ratings and many awards. The staff are really nice and cater to your needs. The food was well presented and tasted authentic. Cocktails where superbly made. The decor is classy. The only bad point I have to say is as I came late I could tell the staff were eager to close up and go home , and I understand. I will definitely be back
We were at my husband master's award ceremony at the Abbey.
We went out for a celebratory meal, so we popped into Chez and the amboise was amazing. This has been one of the most enjoyable Indians meals we've had, which had an award winning 2018 curry Chef 👨🍳 and it was obvious whilst eating the food.
The staff were amazing and helpful. We ordered a mixture of meat and veg dishes to share and we really 💯 enjoyed it. The food came quick and was so tasty and every mouth full was satisfying, so if you want a great experience please come here. We would definitely visit again. 🍗🍚🍲
