Asian Cafe Albans Reviews
Repeat customer or Kat's. Excellent food, and very friendly service. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants good Thai food/
Incredible authentic Thai cuisine. Generous portions and friendly service. Always open to discussing dishes and helping with questions on ingredients and allergies.
Really lovely food, always a family favourite when we order from Kat's. Easily the best Thai food in St Albans.
I’ve been to many restaurants, those which include restaurants that have multiple Michelin stars. I am super critical with reviews, but I never thought it would come to the day I would say this.. but this food “is food that brings you back home… back home to your mother”. That’s so rare in this day and age and think how much of an expert someone has to be to create that with Thai food for someone coming from Sri Lankan origin. Every ingredient is fresh, the blend of spices, the quality of meat and the food expertly made brings a dish which is truly homemade and delicious. I have never experienced anything that tastes truly homemade from a restaurant outside the home. I feel great after eating this too compared to other takeaways as it’s so natural. This is hands down the best restaurant in St Albans. Kat and her partner are such a superb couple running this restaurant, they are incredibly kind and accommodated to a special birthday request. They both came out and greeted us, which was super kind of them and proved many things but the biggest.. this is homemade food, food made from the heart. You want to try true Thai food.. don’t bother with the £800 flight, come here - to this very place a drive away in a lovely home situated in St Albans and you will experience it first hand. Well done and thank you - see you again soon.
Thank you so much Kat for a gorgeous birthday meal ! Your food is just outstanding - so fresh, full of flavour and made with love! Unbeatable!
Very friendly. Best Thai food we’ve had in England. We had Tom Yum soup, Lamb Massaman curry and Chicken Pad Thai, all of which were amazing.
Delicious food, great value, excellent communication. So pleased to have found Kat! Highly recommend!
Have had many takeaways from Kats. Always excellent food. Great service, efficient ordering and always ready at time. Highly recommend
Premium ingredients and very fresh and authentic Thai food flavours. Can’t recommend Kat and Alan’s lovely local business enough..
Nice authentic thai food i have ever had since i tried many places in London , scotland, st Albans, harpenden…the Thai papaya salad is the bést of the best . Highly recomend
This is the best Thai takeaway I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Great service, prompt delivery of piping hot food. Highly recommended
Fantastic food reminds me of authentic Thai food. It’s the closest taste I have found to the amazing dishes that you get in Thailand
I’ve had meals from here often and the food is always delicious, authentic Thai and other East Asian cuisine, including fusion dishes. The service has always been friendly and quick. There’s easy parking out front or across the road. I would highly recommend it.
We’ve been regularly ordering from Kat’s over several years, because the food is the best in the area. Great and varied menu, easy to order and super friendly service and pickup. Don’t hesitate.
Kat's culinary skills make every meal a delight - she really is the best! Great service too. Treat yourself once in a while...
The best takeaway in St Albans. Delivery and pick-up service is excellent and the food is cooked with the freshest ingredients and is very reasonably priced. We haven't tasted better.
We love Kat’s Oriental Cuisine. The food is always delicious and freshly cooked. I would highly recommend Pad Horapa Beef as my personal favourite!
Such a great experience from start to finish, from placing the order to collecting the food. The food is exceptional and is clearly made with lots of care and attention— you can really taste that it’s homemade. The flavours took me right back to Thailand. Definitely ordering again!
Fantastic authentic Thai takeaway! Delicious food and wonderful people/service. Highly recommended. Make sure you book a time slot for takeaway so you don’t miss out!
Kats food is always fresh, prepared with the highest quality ingredients, with care and extremely tasty. I would highly recommend Kats Cuisine, consistently the best Thai food in the area. Wonderful !
To be honest, I’ve really appreciated the help when I’m feeling indecisive. They’re great at offering suggestions and explaining what suits my dietary requirements. I’ve come to trust their recommendations completely; the food and service have been amazing every time. They are always lovely and their service is always friendly and kind.
My wife and I have been using Kat’s Cuisine for a number of years. Great food and great service and they’ve gone the extra mile and created dishes for my specific dietary needs. Thanks Kat’s Cuisine.
Always guaranteed a wonderful feast from Cat’s Cuisine. We’ve enjoyed take away dishes and larger scale catering all provided effortlessly by Cat. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Easily the best Thai food in St Albans. The flavours are very authentic and the portion sizes are generous. It’s consistently high quality. Highly recommend
Authentic (and highly addictive) home cooked Thai food that always get served with a smile. Whether it's for a party, or just for our dinner we have never been disappointed - Kat, you're the best
My favourite takeaway hands down, not just because of the food but also the people. Alan and Kat are amazing and always go above and beyond with every order. Highly recommend.
Wow, now this is super tasty food. We’ve travelled extensively across Thailand and would consider this amongst the best we’ve eaten. Fresh flavours, high-quality ingredients, and well packaged. Nice people too! Will be returning. Great vegan options too.
The delicious food, reliable service and friendly atmosphere from Kats Oriental Cuisine are excellent and deserves a five star rating on all accounts. Highly recommended.
What an absolute gem! I’m so glad we found this place…unbelievable food and such a lovely team. Since the first time we tried Kats food it’s been on our table every Friday night without fail. Love it.
The food is always amazing from here. Kat goes the extra mile to ensure the food is tasty and adapted for dietary needs. Its the best Thai food in St.albans
Incredible thai food, the perfect mix of delicious top restaurant quality whilst still feeling like wholesome home cooking. It's our go to takeaway and it never disappoints.
Kat's food is absolutely amazing! Brilliant vegan options and always do fresh and tasty. My favourite takeaway in St Albans! 😍
Delicious Thai food with lots of vegan options. I've been getting take-aways from here for years now, and it never disappoints. My family always look forward to ordering it when they visit me too.
Amazing food, friendly local take away. Have been going to Kats cuisine for many years and love it. Best spring rolls around!
Highest quality authentic food, wonderful personalised service for large and small orders. Oh and if you haven’t tried Kats spring rolls you are missing out! Without question 10/10 best in class
Kat and Alan run a fantastic business. The food is delicious, it’s good value and the customer service is great. They are also community-minded and kind. I’d thoroughly recommend Kat’s Oriental Cuisine.
Best Thai food I had in the UK, Kats never disappoints, every time I comeback to the UK I can’t avoid but to order dinner and next day lunch. The soups are just divinal. Definitely recommend. I just wish they would serve to further surrounding areas, but I understand why they don’t.
I cannot recommend Kats Oriental Cuisine enough. I am not local but I will always take a trip to get food from Kats as it is second to none. The food is so delicious, and Kat and her husband are so lovely. Me, my family and friends love them. If you haven't ordered from them before, I promise, you won't regret it and will fall in love the way everyone else has (myself included).
I’ve been ordering Thai food from Kats Kitchen for over 2 years now and I’ve never had a disappointing experience. From ordering through to delivery the service is exceptional. The food is always fresh, flavoursome and authentic! Kats kitchen is definitely our go to for gorgeous Thai takeout!
We’ve been doing takeaways and getting food delivered from Kat’s Cuisine for over six years now, and are delighted with their service and standards. Kat is always really conscious of food allergies and taste preferences we have, and Alan is prompt and punctual with the deliveries. We’re grateful to have authentic and tasty Asian food so accessible in St Albans!
We have ordered food from Kat multiple times. They are the only business we trust to feed our friends at parties including at least two New Year’s Eves. It’s always fresh, hot and delicious and caters for all dietary requirements. Her vegan options are especially excellent. The quality of service always matches the food. We love supporting this local business.
We have been ordering from Kat’s Oriental for the last few years and it’s our favourite takeaway. All the food is delicious, authentic and fresh. The veggie options are also insanely good. The best you will get outside of Thailand
Kat’s is great, if we are ordering Thai in St Albans we will always order from Kats. The food is always delicious, fresh and will always hit the spot. When my parents visit they always want to get Kats, they describe it as the best Thai food they have ever had! Highly recommend and great to support a local business!
This is an absolute gem of a Thai take away - the flavours are incredible, the food is freshly made and the service is so personal. Every dish is sensational - I’ve not tried anything yet that I don’t like! St Albans is very lucky to have Kat’s.
This is a small family run takeaway in St Albans. We are vegetarians and very pleased with the vegan/ vegetarian options available. We have placed some late requests in the past and they are super accommodating . Food - 5 star quality, the ingredients used are very fresh and we can tell from the quality of food that we have ordered 😀
Easily the best Thai food in St Albans and far better than any Thai takeaway I found while living in London. Really friendly and helpful owners, the pickup process is efficient, and a lot of dishes able to be made gluten free. I always recommend it to people.
Dishes clearly prepared with meticulous thought and care, exchanged cheerfully - typically our first choice for eating well when my partner and I plan on having a proper relax! Greatly enjoyed by surrounding (food oriented) friends too. Would add photos but impatience and inconsistent camera skills have left the subject matter poorly represented! Hope this is useful to anybody considering - and thanks for all the lovely massaman / pad horapa etc.!
Love Kats! Best takeaway/delivery in St Albans, so much so even though we no longer live in St.Albans we sometimes detour just to get food from Kats. They cater for dietary preferences and restrictions and are extremely careful in doing so. Can’t recommend Kats enough!
Kat's is incredible. Both kat and her husband are super friendly and attentive. The Pad Thai and Massaman curry are hands-down the best. Great flavours and with that home made feeling.
Absolutely excellent food the dishes are authentic and customer services is exceptional. Best takeaway I've ever had. They so deserve the recognition they have worked hard for.
I cannot express how much we love this place ... And Alan and Kat too. It is our favourite. The food is delicious...and cooked to order. The attention to detail is exceptional...we are always made t too feel special. We always order in the week and collect, which is very easy. Go on, what are you waiting for ...ORDER NOW.
Best Thai food in St. Albans (and probably the best I’ve had in the UK), the quality of the food is amazing, everything is home made and tastes so authentic. Service is second to none, so friendly, so kind and personal and backed up by top top quality delicious food! A must for everyone!
My favourite take away by far! The food is always delicious, fresh ingredients and authentic Thai flavours without any added preservatives. Friendly, prompt service. Would 100% recommend!
Gorgeous food! Our first time ordering. We had a planned date night for the first time in months, childcare arranged and the evening booked off work. Unfortunately a poorly daughter meant plans changed. So a date night at home it is, we stumbled across Kat on google and the reviews were outstanding. We had to try. The food is absolutely gorgeous. We had the mixed sharer platter for 2, Massaman curry and red Thai duck curry. Such a refreshing meal. My partner felt welcomed at the address by a lovely gentleman. Thank you Kat 😊
We have ordered from here multiple times times across the last 2yrs. The food is amazing, it’s the most authentic thai, outside Thailand we have had. Ingredients are all fresh and the portions a really generous. This is not a normal takeaway.
High quality, authentic, tasty Thai cuisine with a home cooked added touch. Fantastic warm and friendly service, and any dietary requirements have always been well catered for. Would definitely recommend.
Always a treat to get a takeaway from Kat Oriental. Best to reserve a time for pick up and always prepared freshly. We have some firm favourite dishes. Duck roles and the Green curry among them!
Had a lot of Thai food. This place beats a lot of them. Authentic taste and freshly cooked to order. Highly recommended One of the best takeaways we have had
I have had the pleasure of savoring Thai food across Europe and America, but Kat's Thai food stands out as the absolute best! Each dish was expertly crafted, with perfectly cooked rice, proteins, and veggies. The flavors and textures transported me to a homemade culinary experience. Kat's has earned a spot on my Christmas dinner menu this year! 😁Highly recommended!
Amazing, authentic food with easy collection. A real taste of Thailand. A big thanks to Kat and her husband for giving such lovely food to the community.
Authentic and absolutely delicious Thai food with fantastic and friendly service! The best in St Albans by a mile. Ordered a number of times and loved it each time. 100% recommend.
Finally ordered from Kats and it was absolutely delicious and well worth the wait! From ordering to delivery the service was brilliant. 100% recommend. Very tasty food. Ordered beef massaman curry, coconut rice and chicken satay starter.
I genuinely think Cat’s Thai is the best Thai in St Albans. Everything tastes properly fresh and authentic... not toned down, not overly sweet, just really well-balanced and full of flavour. You can tell they use good ingredients, fresh herbs etc. and actually care about what they’re serving. It feels like real Thai food rather than a generic takeaway version. Love it
Kats Cuisine is our go-to Thai take away. Absolutely amazing food every single time. We’ve been ordering from here for many years now and it has never disappointed, always delicious, fresh, and full of flavour. The quality and consistency are spot on, and the service is great as well. It’s one of those places you can always rely on when you want a proper, satisfying meal. We honestly couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.
Kat's is our go to for takeaway - we never order anything else these days! The food is authentic, fresh and delicious, and you can really tell how much love and experience Kat puts into her cooking. There is a great choice for us as vegans - from curries and stir frys to salads and soups. It's always so tasty and flavourful - I would highly recommend everyone gives Kat's food a try!
Kats Oriental Cuisine is hands down one of the best takeaways in St Albans. The food is always fresh, hot and packed with flavour. Quality is consistent, which is rare with takeaways. You know exactly what you are going to get and it is always delicious. Portions are generous and well worth the money. Friendly service, quick turnaround and great food every time. Highly recommend.
Another great takeaway from Kats, freshly cooked. Portion sizes are ample and lots of choices although we can't seem to get past our usual choices as they are so good. Pineapple rice with cashew nuts and the spring rolls are particular favourites.
The best Thai in town. Much better than in Thai restaurants in St Albans. Cashew Chicken Stir Fry is heavenly delicious! 😍 You might need to call early to order the food on Friday and Saturday as soon as they open - 5 pm. It books up fast but well worth it.
I’ve been ordering from Kat’s Oriental Cuisine since it opened in 2020 and it’s hands down the best Thai food I’ve had in the UK. It’s the closest I’ve come to the food I actually ate in Thailand. The Pad Horapa is incredible but the Massaman Curry is honestly to die for. Kat’s meals are also healthy so I never feel guilty about having a takeaway. Service is brilliant too and they always do their best to fit you in on a Saturday but it’s best to order the day before if you can. Kat and Alan are a St Albans treasure!
Absolutely DELICIOUS homemade thai food cooked by the glorious Kat. I can't recommend enough. I usually order via whatsapp and for delivery. I really love the pad thai, my friend really loves the singapore noodles. The curries are incredible. Just go for it all!
Excellent Thai food, reasonable prices, had takeaway from here several times and always reliably good. Best to order a day ahead if you want Friday or Saturday as they are very busy on those days. Best Thai food in the area. Friendly and helpful :)
We discovered Kat’s cuisine a few years ago and I’m so glad we did! Her food is authentic and always so delicious. Our favourites include her chicken cashew stir fry, vegetable spring rolls, pad Thai, but in truth everything is good. The best Thai we’ve had in St Albans!
The freshest, tastiest Thai food we’ve had in the UK. Take away only. We love Kats kitchen. It never disappoints. Always fresh and delicious. We don’t get take away often, preferring to cook our own meals but this is the exception!
Exceptional authentic Thai food! Fresh, flavoursome, always leaving me wanting more - I often “sip” the whole box of curry, that’s to tell! The food isn't merely a takeaway, it instantly transports you to somewhere in Thailand. Kat is perfect to accommodate our needs eg serving size and vegetarian options. Can never recommend this local takeaway enough!
Been ordering Kat’s cuisine pretty much every month for at least the last 3 years. Easily the best Thai food we’ve had and Thai Green Curry and Mixed Pad Thai are our favourites. The yellow bean spring rolls are also just exceptional. Best kept secret in St Albans if you’ve never tried it!
Everything about this place is fantastic - a unique offering in St Albans. The food is absolutely delicious with plenty of options for all diets/preferences. The portions are very generous and often last us into the next day (if we can resist!). It is clear that Kat and Alan really care about the food and the community and they are always so kind. We love it!
We've been ordering food from Kats since they began and it remains easily the best Thai you can get locally. Everything is freshly prepared, packed with ingredients rather than all sauce, and tastes amazing. If you've not tried it yet, you're missing out. Great stuff.
Kats Oriental Cuisine is our favourite Thai take away! It’s always so delicious and fresh! The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly and prompt. They are also great at catering for gluten free requirements. Would highly recommend!
We usually order from Kat’s Oriental Cuisine about once a week and honestly can’t fault it. The food is consistently superb – fresh, full of flavour, and always piping hot. The service is excellent every time. Quite simply the tastiest Thai food we’ve eaten anywhere. Highly recommended.
Incredible zingy, healthy and authentic Thai food. Kat is such a talented cook, using the freshest ingredients. Truly a local family business, her husband Alan delivers. A really friendly and professional service, always on time, always can do. Best Thai in St Albans, hands down. Very much recommend.
Gorgeous food! Our first time ordering. We had a planned date night for the first time in months, childcare arranged and the evening booked off work.

Kat's has earned a spot on my Christmas dinner menu this year! 😁Highly recommended!
The best takeaway in St Albans (and Herts), in my opinion - by far! I have been a regular customer of Kat and Alan‘s for many years, since Kat’s Cuisine was first recommended by my very discerning friends - and there’s a very good reason why they keep winning awards. I have now moved to East Sussex and haven’t found anything that even vaguely compares. Fabulous vegan menu (totally appreciated by all my visiting non-vegan friends!) - my particular favourite is the Panang curry and the aubergine pad horapa. If you are just exploring for the first time, give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
We have being getting takeaways from Kat's Cuisine for a few years. Absolutely delicious Thai food. Freshly cooked and hot when it arrives. They are always so friendly and will deliver where possible also they have always been accommodating with our gluten intolerances. If you love authentic Thai food then I highly recommend.
Me and many of my outta town friends and family have eaten here many times, whenever they are coming in to St Albans, they are asking if we can gets Kat's Thai! Iv not left many google reviews ever, but you guys stand out ,so i just had to. Thank you so much each and every time we have ordered from you, kinda, friendly and always accommodating with our allergies. Honestly if I could give you guys more starts I would, keep up the good work. Also I would jist like to say that I rated the Atmosphere a 5 star , although you can't eat in here, I gave this rating because they are just simply so each. If you haven't- its a must try!
Kat Kitchen is my go-to Thai takeaway on a Friday — and it’s consistently excellent. The food is always outstandingly good and genuinely authentic. The Beef Massaman Curry is rich and full of flavour; the Spicy Steamed Sea Bass is beautifully fresh with just the right kick; and the Green Curry is fragrant, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Alan does a great job front of house — always welcoming, organised and really helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kat Kitchen to anyone in St Albans looking for proper Thai food.
Kat is our go to for Thai, I searched for 10 years plus but couldn’t find anywhere local that was great. When Kat opened her kitchen all our prayer were answered! Cooked fresh and exactly how we request with the best ingredients. We are so lucky to have Kat local to us! Don’t ever stop doing what you’re doing Kat -incredible food!
Kats food is absolutely amazing — so fresh, vibrant, and packed with authentic flavour. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into every dish. Everything arrives perfectly prepared and full of rich, balanced Thai flavours. It feels homemade in the best possible way. I’ll definitely keep ordering from her — highly recommend to anyone craving fresh and delicious Thai food!
Ordered a takeaway from Kats in St Albans and was really impressed. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and clearly made with quality ingredients, everything travelled well and was still hot when we got it home. Service was smooth and friendly, and the ordering/collection process was easy and efficient. It’s great to have a reliable local takeaway delivering food of this standard. Will definitely be ordering again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Kat's Oriental Cuisine offers the absolute best Thai cuisine in my view. Her dishes are clearly made with fresh, quality ingredients and are always fragrant and tasty. I was also lucky enough to attend a party catered by Kat and, as always, the food didn't disappoint. Highly recommend.
The best Thai take out we have ever had. So happy with it that we will drive past our local by 20 minutes to collect from Kat. Always great communication and diet adjustments on dishes, always greeted with a smile on collection and the food is like being picked up and dropped in Thailand. Beautiful and flavour explosions in every dish we have had. Would recommend to any and everyone.
Hands down the best Thai food I have ever had in my life. Kats cooking is like magic that lasts in your mind as memories forever. Kats Cuisine was my go-to takeaway when I was studying at the University of Hertfordshire. Run by the incredible Kat and her husband Alan, this family business is one you would definitely like want to support. Apart from their amazing food, their hospitality and communication is top-notch too! Kat and Alan are both incredibly sweet people, who I am still in touch with even after graduating almost two years ago! I miss Kats food sooo much and I hope I have taste it some time soon!!! They have an incredible menu with lots of vegan options, which is what first grabbed my attention. Our regular order would include Tom yum soup, spicy papaya salad, vegan Singapore noodles, vegan Pad Thai, vegan pad horpa aubergine, Thai red curry, Thai green curry, Masaman curry, prawn crackers and rice. The quality of the food was always delectable, Kat herself goes to source authentic Thai ingredients so that her customers can enjoy the authentic flavours. I was also blown away by the vegan meat substitute that Kat prepares, the texture, the taste, everything about it is just so exquisite. I can’t speak enough about the amazing taste of the food, all I can say is my mouth is watering and I can taste her cooking while I write this review, haha! Thank you so much Kat for blessing us with your wonderful home-cooked meals and bringing authentic Thai food to our taste buds! Thank you so much Alan for always attending to us and delivering the food to our doorstep. :)
I have ordered deliveries from Kats Kitchen many times. The food come on time and is alway hot. The food is delicious and definitely the best takeaway food I have eaten. The portion sizes are good. If you haven't tried food from Kats Kitchen, you should. You won't be disappointed.
Time and again Kat prepares delicious meals for us! You can really taste the freshness and the heart put into the cooking. The green and red curry are our favourites. And both of my kids love the chicken satay and plum sauce. Such a great local find! Collection is always super easy and the food is piping hot.
I’ve lived in Thailand for a year and visited 5 times since. I find it very difficult to find authentic cuisine of the same quality as what I enjoyed there. Look no further than Kat’s kitchen. She uses the freshest ingredients and has a master touch with every dish. She is Thai and has a huge wealth of experience and great talent. Portions are generous and bursting with flavour, prices are very reasonable and we polish off whatever we get. Our personal favourites are the chicken and cashew nut dish and the prawn red curry. Alan, who is Kat’s husband, deals with the orders and hands over the food and he is delightful so they are the dream team. We have tried all the Thai eateries in St Albans (except for the latest one to have opened up) and none compare to Kat’s dishes. We find it easier to pick food up from a residential address, though Alan can also deliver. As we live in AL1, it’s highly convenient for us. Enjoy!
The best Thai takeaway ever! Thai is my absolute favourite food and Kat’s is the best I’ve ever had, even compared to when I’ve been to Thailand. The flavours are incredible and you can really tell that everything is freshly prepared. The service is also amazing. Feel very lucky to have such an incredible takeaway nearby and I need to order more often!
The food is fantastic. I have used Kat’s over the past 5 years or so and have never had a dish that I haven’t raved about. The Asian food tastes authentic, has fresh, high quality ingredients and flavours that you could only dream of. The delivery service is excellent and , if you collect, everything is always ready on time. But most of all, the food is wonderful.
We regularly order food from Kat's Thai, it is the best Thai food takeout I've ever had. Everything tastes delicious and is packed full of lovely ingredients. The kids meals are great too, the homemade fried chicken is lovely. Everything feels like it's been made with care. Kat always tries to accommodate us with a collection slot even at short notice, and communication is always quick and friendly. Would highly recommend Kat's Thai (and I do to all my friends!)
Have been getting takeaways from Kat since she started up during lockdown. The food is always delicious & freshly cooked. Good choice on the menu. She will always accommodate to individual dietary requirements & was awarded the top hygiene. Order always ready on time & delivered with a smile!
Simply the best Thai food in the region! Ever since I moved to the UK from Asia and had the first taste of Kat’s cooking, I was blown away with the authenticity of the flavours. I’ve been a big fan since and always order some dishes when we have guests, to showcase the quality of food in St Albans. Alan’s service has always been efficient and extremely warm and friendly. It’s a top experience all around from the moment of ordering, to receiving the food, all the way to enjoying the flavours. Highly recommend!
Kat makes THE BEST Thai food. The menu is so varied and she caters for fussy little eaters too! I love ordering take-away, whether it’s just for the family or for friendly get-togethers. I have also booked Kat to cater parties for me. The portions are generous and super tasty. One of my favourite dishes is Larb Kai, a fragrant minced chicken salad. It’s so refreshing and light. This is an incredibly enterprising home catering family who also supports local community activities. Kats Oriental Cuisine is my #1 choice for Thai food in St Albans. Absolutely delicious!
Kat's Cuisine is the tastiest Thai food outside of Thailand and I'd argue, it's still the best! A huge selection of dishes, vegan and vegetarian options also, so everyone's happy and made as spicy as you like. We usually find Thai food bland when eating out but Kat's food is authentic and packed with flavour!! My whole family love her food. I cannot recommend her enough. I've enjoyed every dish that I've had, one of my many favs is the spicy mango tofu salad...delish! The chicken massaman is a staple fav with my family. A must try if you like authentic Thai!!!
Very friendly. Best Thai food we’ve had in England. We had Tom Yum soup, Lamb Massaman curry and Chicken Pad Thai, all of which were amazing.
Finally ordered from Kats and it was absolutely delicious and well worth the wait! From ordering to delivery the service was brilliant. 100% recommend. Very tasty food. Ordered beef massaman curry, coconut rice and chicken satay starter.
Such a great experience from start to finish, from placing the order to collecting the food. The food is exceptional and is clearly made with lots of care and attention— you can really taste that it’s homemade. The flavours took me right back to Thailand. Definitely ordering again!
Wow, now this is super tasty food. We’ve travelled extensively across Thailand and would consider this amongst the best we’ve eaten. Fresh flavours, high-quality ingredients, and well packaged. Nice people too! Will be returning. Great vegan options too.
I’ve been to many restaurants, those which include restaurants that have multiple Michelin stars. I am super critical with reviews, but I never thought it would come to the day I would say this.. but this food “is food that brings you back home… back home to your mother”. That’s so rare in this day and age and think how much of an expert someone has to be to create that with Thai food for someone coming from Sri Lankan origin. Every ingredient is fresh, the blend of spices, the quality of meat and the food expertly made brings a dish which is truly homemade and delicious. I have never experienced anything that tastes truly homemade from a restaurant outside the home. I feel great after eating this too compared to other takeaways as it’s so natural. This is hands down the best restaurant in St Albans. Kat and her partner are such a superb couple running this restaurant, they are incredibly kind and accommodated to a special birthday request. They both came out and greeted us, which was super kind of them and proved many things but the biggest.. this is homemade food, food made from the heart. You want to try true Thai food.. don’t bother with the £800 flight, come here - to this very place a drive away in a lovely home situated in St Albans and you will experience it first hand. Well done and thank you - see you again soon.
Amazing food, great service. The pad Thai (both chicken and beef) is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!
Felt like we were back in Thailand! Loveliest owners serving truly authentic home cooked Thai food! We had mixed starter, Tom Kha soup, Pad Thai and Beef Penang curry. All were perfect, pure quality and freshness. On top of the amazing food was the customer service, whether it be taking the time to provide recommendations as first timers, the smooth collection and just being so welcoming, it felt like family were cooking for you. We will be trying the rest of the menu promptly!
Absolutely delicious. Kat's food is the best Thai food I've ever had!!! Super friendly and great customer service. We'll definitely be back :)
Finally! An authentically good takeaway in St Albans! I used to live in London where the food is amazing, and missed having really tasty authentic takeaways in St Albans but this is the answer. Delicious tasty food, fresh crunchy veg, wholesome sauces, top notch.
We Ordered whilst staying at a local hotel because of the 5 star reviews, not expecting much but it was the best pad Thai iv had and the pumpkin curry was incredible and had never seen it on a menu before, highly recommended!
Absolutely excellent take away. This is the best Thai food I have ever tasted. Highly highly recommend. Fresh flavours, fresh ingredients and a widen variety of choice of dishes.
I've enjoyed Kat's wonderful creations at local events, and tonight's take-away was just as delicious. Fresh ingredients and authentic flavours. The mixed starter is superb.
Wow. A perfectly cooked Thai with fresh ingredients. This was our first order and we had Chicken Green Curry and Beef Massaman Curry, with fish cakes and spring rolls. The beef was lovely and soft and the veg spring rolls were probably the best I have ever had. Good size portions as well, can really recommend Kats Cuisine and am looking forward to exploring more from her menu. Very friendly reception when we came to collect the food as well. Truly worth the many recommendations on the reviews.
We recently tried Kat’s Cuisine, and it was an incredible experience! The flavors were vibrant and authentic, truly capturing the essence of Thai cuisine. The service was exceptional – warm, friendly, and efficient. This is, without a doubt, the best Thai takeaway in St. Albans. Highly recommended!
Kat's Cuisine is honestly, the best Thai food I have had in the UK. It is definitely the best take away, and the price point, considering the quality, is fantastic. The seasoning is so delicious and fresh. It smells wonderful when you open it up. Generous portions, and does not sit heavily at all. We had a leaflet in the post from Kat, and loved the idea of real home cooked food. Also, the flavours in the UK made Thai food are usually lacking (understandably) and I was hoping for authentic tasting food. We are so happy we tried this. It is our new regular.
Had our first takeaway from Kat’s this evening. It was the most amazing array of flavours and textures. We ordered 4 dishes and they were all delicious. I would urge anyone who is local to the area to try Kats. By far the best Thai takeaway I have ever tasted.
Absolutely delicious!! I have recently moved into the area and found Kat - so glad I did. Emailed my order on Thursday evening for a Friday evening collection. All meals and starters were flavoursome, authentic and fresh. Definitely not my last time ordering from Kat and her husband, who were both very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful meal!
Kats cuisine provided outstanding food for our dinner party. We placed the order the day before and the communication was easy and a pleasure. Despite having placed an order for eight people, all of our dietary needs were met. I have to say the Singapore noodles were the best I have ever tasted. The portions were perfectly sized and we had food left over which always makes me very happy the next day. The quality of ingredients were really good also. We had vegans, vegetarians, people who can’t handle spice among others, and everyone was really happy with their food. We will definitely order from here again.
