About Al Farid - St Albans
Moroccan restaurant & Meze bar: Umar ibn 'Al Farid' was an Arab poet; his poetry is entirely Sufic and he was esteemed as the greatest mystic poet of the Arabs! Our head chef has created a thoughtful menu that delights the taste-buds. A firm favourite is the mezze; an array of small succulent dishes. The menu comprises of both hot and cold dishes and offers a wealth of colour, flavour, texture and aroma. An attribute of Moroccan food is the fact that it is very healthy as well as tasty.
