Square Meal Review of Kazan ?

Regulars worried that Kazan’s refurbishment might signal a departure from its trademark take on Ottoman opulence can breathe a sigh of relief. This fabulous Turkish restaurant has lost none of its luxurious appeal: antique lamps & silk cushions may have given way to sleek contemporary looks, but the soft glow from teardrop-shaped lights & the privacy afforded by ornate screens still create a fabulously romantic atmosphere. The kitchen shows its class with specialities ranging from char-grilled baby poussin marinated with yoghurt, lemon & chilli to a seafood stew served with giant bulgur wheat, although it’s hard to resist the ‘Ottoman feast’ with its array of hot & cold mezze, grills & assorted desserts. Drink ice-cold Efes beer or pick something Turkish from the wine list.

    We had the mezze starter which was a great way to try lots of different things Kazan have to offer on the menu. The food was superb – fresh and tasty and the staff were friendly.

    At under £100 for 3 courses and a good bottle of wine, we thought Kazan was excellent value for money and will definately be visiting again.

    Our own negative, but very minor issue, was that starters and mains came out very quickly after one another but at the end of the meal you didn't feel hurried to vacate the table and could let the meal go down.

    Highly recommended!

    an excellent meal, served by attentive staff who looked after us from start to finish. The King Prawn in Chilli and Lime starter was particularly good. We will definitely return to this restaurant when next in London.

    Kazan certainly lived up to all of my expectations. From the beautiful decor to the candle lit toilets, everything was perfect. Service was very attentive without being pushy, and good sound advice is available on the wine list and of course the food menu. The meats sold at Kazan are perfectly cooked, and the large selection of mezze's is a delightful way to kick off your meal. There really must be something for everyone on their extensive, mouth watering menu. 10/10 all the way in this gorgeous, good value for money little gem!

    The food is gorgeous I went for the Tuna, which was cooked to perfection. Melt in the mouth. Even the bread is memorable. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Have been back a few times, and will a few more no doubt.

    This place just keeps dragging me back through the doors, for more of the Sultan's Delight—very tender lamb on a bed of puréed aubergine. Everything seems to work here (apart from the draught you are subject to if you sit near the door!). The food is good, the service also. The wine list is good value and the atmosphere is spot on.
    If I have a quibble it is that the starters don't quite measure up to the quality of the mains, so I often skip these. The mains can seem little pricey, but you don't mind when the food is so good.
    All in all I recommend Kazan to anyone who is happy to spend about £50 on top class Turkish food for two (inc. wine) in a good atmosphere. Sure you can get great Turkish food for a third of this price on Green Lanes and in Hackney (I'm thinking of Anatolya on Hackney road). However, it is to Kazan's credit that despite the excellent quality of many of those cheap Turkish eateries we are so blessed with in London it is still worth paying for the Kazan experience from time to time.
