My wife and I visited Tabure last night. Expectations were high after my wife visited with friends a few weeks ago and said it was fantastic. It did not disappoint, the food was on point, atmosphere was great and all round a definite 5/5. My favourite dish was the Lamb tava. Perfect level of spiciness for me! There is plenty of the menu we didn’t try so we will be going back!!

We had a marvellous dining experience. High quality produce that is expertly spiced and cooked, all served with a genuine smile and care. Will go back to try other dishes. Only thing to note is that the 'large dishes' are not large enough to share, so would probably need order once each.

Our regular dinner place is Tabure. It is a fantastic spot for a casual meal or a special night out. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with standout dishes are the pulled lamb dish and the house dips - just delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Tabure delivers a consistent, great dining experience. Highly recommended!

Easily the best Turkish food I’ve had! Everything was so tasty and unique to try. Staff are very friendly (shout out to Abraham who has been great every time we’ve been), and while the price is high for St Albans restaurants, the quality of the food and drink fit the bill. If I had to critique, I’d say the view from the window is bad. A brick wall, commercial bins, and white flood lights aren’t particularly the vibe. Perhaps the restaurant will put up a curtain in the future (or may have done since I last went). Highly recommend!

Really delicious Roast Dinner, and in my case it is really difficult because it has to be gluten free. I had everything even the Yorkshire pudding and it was wonderful ... and those gratin potatoes seduced my heart. The atmosphere is really nice there. I will definitely come back. The only problem for me is that there is no children's menu

This place is trying to tackle some misconceptions about Turkish cuisine. You cannot find classic kebab dishes that are usually being served outside Turkiye. They serve some traditional Turkish dishes with a modern twist. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is very friendly. They have vegetarian options and some safe options for those who don’t feel adventurous. I was told certain parts of the menu keeps changing. I’ll certainly come back to try different dishes.

Absolutely top notch night out. From the incredible service by one of the family (thanks for all the recommendations!), to the amazing wine and cocktails. Then the food, just incredible. All served to us right in front of the charcoal grill. Some of the best Turkish food I’ve had in memory. Highlights were the butternut squash and the halloumi. But also every dish we ate was incredibly cooked. The chef on the charcoal grill was an absolute master. Couldn’t fault a single part, will be back again asap!
