Cherry Trees - St Albans

We have been to the Cherry Tress many times in the last few years, and have always had great service and food. We have tried many of the restaurants around Hatfield and Welwyn to try and find a good Indian closer to home, but so far none have come close to the quality of food at the Cherry Trees. Would definitely recommend getting a table in the conservatory and giving it a go.

Excellent value. The food was so very good and loads of choice. I like the white tablecloths and napkins rather than paper ones! Customer service brilliant. I would visit regularly if I lived closer. I’m not normally a fan of Indian or spicy food but this was so tasty and found dishes that suited me.

We met friends here for a curry. We have never been here before. The staff were not on the ball and one waiter seemed almost shy! We ordered drinks and curries. I have been eating curries nearly almost all my life so I do not think I have a bad tongue for taste? I had a prawn puree to start with, which was just passable and friends had onion bhajees. For some stupid reason I ordered a king prawn masala. Bad choice! The sauce was thick orange sludge that is all I can say with these shrivelled up things in it. They could of been snails for all I knew. Awful, awful. As our friends were paying and they are the best, I kept my mouth closed which is a first! When my husband I got in our car to go home, the first thing he asked was, what my curry like as his was the worst ever. The conclusion of this is: the worst curry we have eaten,

We have been using the Cherry Trees since it opened as we are only a few minute walk away. The staff are always very friendly and pleasant to us and the food has always been excellent. They go out of their way to please . We do visit other Indian restaurants occasionally but would highly recommend this one. Lovely setting too and so convenient for us.

Without exaggerating this is probably the best Indian restaurant in Hertfordshire. We have been visiting for a number of years at least once a week and it never fails to impress. The food is excellent and impeccably served by the staff who are friendly without being overbearing. The gourmet night meal is excellent value for money and is enough for the largest appetite, while the sunday buffet provides a large variety of traditional indian dishes that should suit everybody. There is large, airy conservatory that seats about 40 and the rest consists of well spaced out tables for those preferring a quieter meal. A takeaway service is also provided with delivery to local areas an option. All in all a well-run restaurant and a credit to its manager and staff, we will return soon!
