Sauté Restaurant

Lovely Turkish place hidden away in St Albans - the decor here was stunning green and the staff were attentive. The food was second to none. Enjoyed my experience here. Will be back!

Food is delicious! We had halloumi cheese and filo pastry filled with spinach and feta as starters. Then lamb shish kebab and a speciality with eggplant and meat. Service is very good and waiters are really warm and nice

Really lovely service in a nice setting. I don't really blame them for the lack of vegan/vegetarian options but a reheated vegetarian moussaka? Judging by the absence of flavour and the state of the potatoes maybe frozen and reheated?
Thank you for not charging for the dish. Unfortunately my family were not very happy with the lamb shank. Costco maybe? I feel terrible for a business having to cope with the current circumstances but such high prices for moderate quality food is not satisfactory.
You are lovely people.

The restaurant was quiet for a Saturday lunchtime but both the food and service were excellent. We ordered the dover sole, which was perfectly cooked and expertly taken off the bone at the table, the swordfish, which was very tasty, and the lamb shank, which fell off the bone. The lobster soup starter was delicious, and the scallops and crab starters were both excellent. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. Very reasonably priced such great quality ingredients. Thank you.

Finally had a chance to get here and was very pleased. The starters were delicious and meat was cooked great( lamb chops and chicken). Would definitely come back to try other dishes. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We didn’t book ( Saturday night), but they found a table for us.

Super Turkish restaurant tucked away on Adelaide Street in St Albans. Lovely ambience, crisp white tablecloths and napkins, Great service. Very attentive and courteous.
We had the vegetarian platter for mains which was an excellent choice ( moussaka, baba ganoush, halloumi, falafel etc ) and salmon with roast vegetables. Both were good. The complementary pitta bread was freshly made served with a chilli and a garlic yogurt dip. Salad was fresh and crisp. This place is popular so do book a table.
Great choice for a special occasion as well.

This eatery is set off a side road as you get into the center of St Alban's. Parking is good just to the side but if that is full, the multi-storey is only about 150mtrs away.

The restaurant is fairly inviting and staff greet you warmly as you arrive. The incandescent lighting gives the place an orange glow which is good for ambiance but will impact pictures taking.

What I liked... Good prices, apart from 1 dish (which was returned) everything was tasty, cocktails are lovely and staff are very friendly

What I disliked... Only 1 toilet (2 if you include disabled), cutlery arriving in sealed bags, mains did not all arrive together (there we 10 of us), ABBA medley, sticky table tops and the waiter pouring my cider and then disappearing with the bottle whilst I was in conversation 😩.

Nothing wrong with ABBA but it was too loud and a odd choice for a Turkish menu but each to their own I guess. As for the cutlery in sealed bags... I'd consider that a nice 'health conscious' decision if it was persisted throughout the courses but as it was only present for starters, of was just a little strange bordering on pointless. I guess the sentiment was there.

It's not bad by any means just not quite great 🙂.

Lovely restaurant with wonderful stuff, the food was really delicious, the Christmas menu was original & affordable.
