Halal Desi Food in Hertfordshire: Home Cooking, Café Prices
Karahi, keema, daal and paratha rolls cooked fresh daily — and why every single thing we serve is halal.
Finding genuinely good halal desi food in Hertfordshire usually means a drive to Luton or Wembley. We think you should be able to get it on your lunch break in St Albans.
Everything is halal
Not a separate menu, not a couple of options — every item of meat and food we serve is halal. That means anyone at the court, in the offices around us, or passing through can order anything on the board without asking a question first.
Cooked fresh, not held
Curries are made in small batches through the day. Parathas hit the tawa when you order. The samosas and pakoras are fried, not reheated from this morning.
What to try
Start with a chicken karahi and rice if you want something substantial, or a paratha roll if you are eating standing up. Add masala chai — it is the right drink for a grey Hertfordshire afternoon.
Make it a meal
Most hot dishes can be turned into a meal for £2, which adds a drink and a side. It is the cheapest way to leave properly fed.
