Havin Turkish Kitchen

You can’t help but smile when you walk into this family-run Turkish favourite in the heart of St Albans. The atmosphere is infectiously homely, and the interior is a rich riot of ethnicceramic tiles and coloured glass. The focus is on oven-cooked meats and fish supported by dainty salads and refined small plates – although the mixed grill is excellent too. With plenty of acceptable Turkish booze on offer, Havin is perfect for a date or a family supper.
