The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in North Hertfordshire East of England

We had a lovely birthday celebration with superb food from Sabor Espanol. Padron Peppers and crochettas to start - with a delicious tortilla - and then paella (mixed seafood and chicken and vegetable) with a side order of pistou. All finished off with a lovely cheesecake. All was cooked to perfection- lovely flavours - add wine for a perfect evening ! Thank you SO much. 10/10.

Had the Sunday Roast here with some friends who’ve recently moved into the area. The food was great, some of us had the beef and some the pork, the Yorkshire puddings were lovely and crispy and the veg and potatoes were cooked to perfection, also some extra cauliflower cheese. Food was bought out quick as it seemed quite busy , and all the staff were very friendly, overall an excellent meal and service.

This place is normally very busy, lots of local people recommend this place so I thought I would go and try it out on a Saturday afternoon. I do venture out a bit and try places outside of the local area so I would say I do have higher expectations when it comes to food. Firstly, the service is good. Waiting staff are eager to help, they could probably smile a bit more though. The atmosphere was good, quite relaxing and welcoming at the same time. I was a bit disappointed with the food. It felt a bit reheated rather than made fresh. There are times when re-heated food is acceptable and the higher quality establishments that do this don't have dishes that make you feel they were simply warmed up. Even if this place didn't reheat the food the dishes certainly felt like it. The service and atmosphere saved this review as I believe the food could be a lot better.

Amazing food, good prices and lovely staff.

A really great place to eat. Food is amazing, service friendly and professional. Owners work so hard and are very nice. Loved it.

We can't wait to go this restaurant again! I wasn't well and straight away felt at ease. The owner is a lovely lady and consistently tried her best to help my mother and I with our dietary restrictions. She was very welcoming and caring about our situation, as was her friend Carol. Her son made the food and it was delicious. We had a whole grilled seabass, salad and chips, as well as grilled salmon, salad and chips. Everything was gluten free and dairy free. The chilli pepper dip was really lovely (we couldn't have the other complementary dips and bread due to our dietary requirements). The setting is gorgeous and so we sat on the couch by the wall so we could see the whole restaurant. The food took a while to come, but it was well worth the wait. There were no issues and everything was as we asked for. Fairly priced for all the above. Service wasn't on the bill, so of course we gave a good tip as a thank you. Try this restaurant - you won't regret it and you'll leave looking forward to your next visit.

A shame that they have stopped the all you can eat menu. I would willingly have paid more than £18.95 because the food is so good. Now it is 3 courses for £15.95 with a more limited choice. The quality of the food is still excellent but the portion sizes are far too small and we left feeling disappointed.

We came here for a meal on a Saturday evening. The food was delicious- we had lamb kofta and rice with the homemade chilli sauce (extremely tasty) and garlic mayo. However, the restaurant felt like it lacked an atmosphere- we were the only people inside (the tables outside were occupied), and we felt like it could do with feeling more like a restaurant than a cafe inside. One of the waitresses in particular was very friendly and overall we had a nice meal and it was extremely good value!!

Got the new years special dish and the meat was very tender and the sauces were very good. Would recommend and be a returning customer

Be aware, The Spice Cabinet has closed down. The website is still active, you can place an order, they will take your money, but no food arrives. Such a shame as the food was amazing when they were open.
