Popped in for lunch today. Really nice restaurant. Amazing food and good service. Definitely recommend and will return. Lunch deal 3 courses £13.90 Monday to Friday is very good value
We loved our visit to Aspava, we went to celebrate my sister's birthday and not only did they sing for us which was so much fun they also treated us to some lovely desserts.
The starters and mains were also amazing and the bread ... I would go just for the bread again. It was really reasonably priced especially for the service provided to us. Staff were friendly and helpful overall we had a fantastic evening and left full and happy.
The baklava was just 5* we will definitely be visiting again.
We had a lovely lunch at Aspava Restaurant in St Albans. We were a group of 6. Lovely location, very cozy and warm. The food was amazing! We had starters and mains. We had calamari, king prawns and dolma as starters.. all very tasty! We had mixed grill kebab made of lamb, chicken, pork.. plus sea bass very well cooked, chicken shish and more. Highly recommend!
Spectacular Turkish cuisine. Best lamb chops and chicken wings I have ever had. Also,I loved the desert coops cream pistachio it’s a must try
A little Turkish gem in St Albans!
Visited here in July 2022.
The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere and we took advantage of the nice weather and sat outside. We parked locally at the Civic Centre Multi Story which is a bit of a dump. It was a short walk past the Alban Arena.
Overall summary, we had a lovely experience and the food was great. I would definitely recommend the restaurant and will return soon!
As we walked up to the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the owner who made us feel very welcome.
For starters we had falafel, hummus, Cacik and Grilled Sujuk. All fantastic!
For mains, we had the lamb chops, chicken wings and a mixed platter for 2. Again, everything was very well prepared.
Finally, We were treated to a lovely plate of baklava and fruit which was delicious!
Looking forward to my next visit!
I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of vegetarian and fish dishes.
We opted for a 2 course lunch which was very good value. See photo of the menu.
The food was absolutely delicious. I forgot to photograph the seafood stew, but that was very tasty.
Portions were small, but right for a light lunch.
The photo shows two veg starters: Filo pastry and Aspava courgettes. The pitta bread was so tasty, best I have ever had.
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.
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.
Great birthday meal!!! Food was delicious, fresh and plenty to eat. Wonderful staff and relaxing atmosphere with great music and decor. Compliments!! Will definitely be returning 😌 ☺️ 🙂
It was a very nice cozy Turkish restaurant. located a bit far from the main street which makes the place safer and quite.
Lots of tables inside and also there are a couple of tables at the outside of the place which makes you enjoy your meal when the weather is nice.
Foods are delicious.
Prices are fair. I ate Chicken Beyti and it's one of the best Beyti I ate in the UK.
Will definitely go there again whenever I come to St. Albans.
Genuine Turkish food at a good price.
Hidden gem in the city of St. Albans.
The lunch set menu is just a great deal!
This has to be the place to go if you want authentic Turkish food, and who wouldn't? We had simple starters of halloumi and smoked augergine followed by truly superb lamb chops. The manager (owner?) personally recommended the lamb chops as his signature dish and he was dead right. Two glasses of an excellent Pinot and two lovely coffees made for a superb lunch which consigned our long, rainy, drive from Yorkshire to a distant memory.
Ate here before going to a show next door. Food was fabulous, as was service and atmosphere. We will definitely be back
What a hidden gem. Its part of St Albans arena building but it is totally seperate from the Arena.
The food is excellent and cheaper than similar restaurants in St Albans. The staff are really friendly and the owner is more than happy to chat to you. Great atmosphere, well worth a visit 👍
Beautiful food at a beautiful location . The service is excellent as is the food. Most recommended. Lovely garden area gives sense of peace and calm in the town.
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.
