Kazan Restaurant

I was around Victoria are so decided to give this restaurant a try. We were seated straight away upon entering the restaurant. Menu given and drinks order taken. The restaurant has good decor and it felt nice and calm. There were a lot of tourists which is no surprise due to the location of the restaurant. I ordered lychee sparking mojito. It was awful. It had no sparkle I'm afraid. Anyway the sparkling water was great. They gave complimentary warm bread with some sauces. That is standard across all Turkish Cuisine. Food itself was OK. The chicken was good. The fries were fantastic. Unfortunately the lamb was very salty. Service was OK but could be better.

Wanting to try something different we have Kazan a try. We had a great experience. The server went out of their way to create a positive experience. The food was delicious and we especially enjoyed the humus appetizer.

A nice place, pleasantly busy, with a Middle East / Gulf / Turkish / Levant vibe. Wilton Street has many restaurants. Unfortunately we sat at the back close to the kitchen and were intermittently deafened by clattering of plates Food tasty and delivered good flavours. Wine list decent vfm and choice.

This had wonderfully delicious food! Everything was seasoned and cooked well! The lamb was especially good in my opinion. However we enjoyed it all! The mezze is nice if you want some refreshing dips. The mixed grill was good for trying various things. The sultans grill comes on a good platter which was just plain fun! The desserts were good! Very different and interesting to try so that was nice. The service was excellent. They were super attentive and made sure to give us anything we needed. The atmosphere was fitting for a Turkish restaurant. It was fairly quiet but it made for a lovely evening. There was plenty of room in the restaurant as well!

Excellent find for an after show meal. We made up a meal made out of items from the starter menu that included the mixed salad, mixed meza with a side of chicken and lamb with flat breads and Olives followed by a baklava ice cream Sunday. All fantastic. Would recommend as away from the hussle and bussle of Victoria station but close enough.

My partner and I had a table for his birthday celebration yesterday evening. We were warmly welcomed and seated promptly. Alam, who looked after our table, was incredibly friendly and attentive. She was also very helpful with the menu. We really appreciated the surprise birthday dessert with a candle! The drinks and food were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The portion sizes were perfect, not too big or too small. It was definitely worth a visit, and I strongly recommend it!

All-around a very nice experience. Eating in a company of six (four adults, two kids), the service was outstanding, food was absolutely great and everything was done to the high standards. One minor mistake was with one of the ordered plates, but that was quickly fixed with abundant apologies, so no hard feelings about that either. 5/5, I will definitively visit this place again and highly recommend it to anyone who likes Turkish or Middle Eastern cuisine.

Excellent Saturday afternoon meal .Great atmosphere food nicely presented

First time having Turkish food. Loved it. Kazan is a welcoming little restaurant with a delicious selection. Seriously, everything on the menu looks so good. The complimentary bread went so well with the baba ganoush, and the chicken in the Tavuk Izgara was probably the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life. Excellent service, and nice ambiance, but the food is a bit pricier than what I'm used to (to be expected in London).

Just left Kazan. When I'm visiting london I stay in the area and have always wanted to try this place based on the reviews . It absolutely exceeded my expectations . Let's start with the service . I was a single diner and the place was packed . Nevertheless. I was greeted warmly , given a drinks and food menu and asked to wait near the bar in the back . While I was sitting there a waiter came over and offered me bottled water . I was seated shortly thereafter in another room . The service was so polite and friendly , I mean noticeably so. I ordered a small mixed mezze plate as an appetizer and the lamb chops . Everything was delicious. I also enjoyed a cocktail and a glass of red Turkish wine. Overall I can't find any fault with this place from the service , atmosphere and food it was a tremendous choice .

Woah! Christmas day and we were trying to find any place that was open. Luckily I saw this place and walked in. Unfortunately, the place was packed. We asked if they had a table for 2 and the host said to give him a few minutes. We understood. We were just hoping someone would leave the restaurant, so we could be seated. We were famished. A few minutes later, more people walk into the restaurant and are asked to wait too. Then the host tells us a table is ready. We follow him downstairs to where other tables are arranged for the people that walked into the restaurant alongside us without a reservation. It was honestly better than the setup they had upstairs as it was warmer, intimate, and less crowded. They did not turn anyone away, which I am thankful for. They had a Christmas menu available at a set price of $45 per person. Each person could order an appetizer, main dish, and dessert. They had a separate menu for drinks, cocktails, and mocktails. We started off with a Lychee Martini and Lychee Mocktail. It was ecsquisite. It tasted exactly like lychee. It was sweet yet did not overpower the alcohol. The mocktail was carbonated and was quite refreshing. We ordered the Crispy Calamari and Pomegranate Chili Chicken Wings. These were fire! The calamari was ACTUALLY crispy! The wings were unique, but so tasty! We were so pleased with our starters. Our entrees were the Lamb Kebob with Rice and Chicken Breast Kebob with Fries. Both were so juicy and tender. We were amazed. This place serves the best kebobs we had ever had. We became fans of Turkish cuisine. However, the level of customer service the host and waiter showed made our night. We wish we could have came back before our trip ended. This is stop you have to make!

I loved everything about this restaurant! First of all, the grilled lamb was superb! The spices even on the rice were just right! The garlic and hot sauce were delicious! It is a beautifully decorated restaurant and the waitress and waiters were so nice! Our waitress was super nice, very sincere, and very accommodating ( on 9/10/23 7pm). I will definitely come back here again!

We found this gem as a blessing in disguise since the first restaurant that we went to was packed and wait time was 45 minutes plus the fact that they are not friendly was a turn off for me. We're having our last dinner in London before flying back home. Though this place was busy they still manage to sit us right away. Service was top notch, very friendly, accommodating and warm. The host and our server made sure that we have everything we need and they checked on us to see that everything was good. The place was super cozy, clean and though busy it's still quiet and peaceful. All the diners seemed very well cultured. But let's get to the foods! I'm just so glad we went here instead of the other restaurant. First, the pedi bread - it is a bread from heaven! I love Texas Roadhouse bread, but now I can say that Kazan's bread with the olive oil dipping stole my heart. I ordered the Kazan special and it was super good! My hubby and our friend ordered their chicken and it was all delicious and sumptuous. Plus the pomegranate mojito is a must! Best mojito I've had. This is our first time trying Turkish cuisine and I must say it's an epic experience! Will def look forward on dining here again on our next trip! Keep up the good work guys!!! Highly recommended!

I would give this place a 6/5 if I could. Impeccable service, fantastic food, delicious cocktail. Truly heavenly.

So good! Being from out of town, we had seen Kazan recommended in a guide book but weren't sure what to expect. It was hands down the best Turkish or Mediterranean meal I've ever had. The meat was direct cooked and still very juicy and tender. Falafel great too. Service top notch- team works well together. Good value for the money to boot.

I was staying nearby and looked up restaurants in the area. I've never been to a Turkish restaurant, but it sounded good and the reviews were promising. Like the reviews it far exceeded my expectations. Lovely decor, wonderful staff and the food was just outstanding. What a wonderful evening in every way.

This wont be a long review. Easily some of the best food and service in all of London. All of the dishes we tried were top notch.

As someone who recently visited Istanbul, I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Turkish food!

Kazan Kitchen was our first time eating Turkish food and we enjoyed every bit of it! This place was right down the way about 5-7 mins walk from our hotel in Westminster. For starters, the Falafel was crispy and tasty, and came with a creamy dipping sauce. The Baba Ganoush was also very good, served with bread. We also ordered the lamb and the "Limon I-tavuk" chicken (lemon & white wine sauce) which were both amazing! We were served rice and cooked vegetables (eggplant, peppers, and zucchini) with our meal. On our visit we had good service from a friendly staff. Street parking.

Great food and lovely service! Two of us walked in without a reservation and they were very accommodating and let us wait for the next open table. We ended up with several cold and hot mezze dishes and everything was divine. Highly recommend and will definitely visit when I return to London.

I visited with my loved one and we had brunch together. I had grilled chicken and salad and potatoes with the spiced tea. My loved one had lamb and rice. It was very fresh and seasoned beautifully. I love traditional Turkish food. Highly recommend!

We all had a beautiful dinner and the best service! Malbec, Pinot Grigio, expresso martini, cappuccinos and lattes were all so good too! We shall return next time we visit London on a layover :)

We were a family of six...two grandparents, two parents, and two teenagers in London in late August. All of us agreed that Kazan was one of our best experiences of the week. Great food comfortable atmosphere and excellent service.

We were quite pleased with our experience, our server was attentive to our needs. The food was well seasoned and tasty. I especially loved the rose ice-cream.

Our Rick Steves book recommended this restaurant and so do I! 10/10!!! Fantastic chicken, drinks, and apps. Our entire party licked their plates clean.

Fantastic food and service. Broad set of starters were fresh, spicy, savory. The mains were fantastic - lamb, shish, Kazan special, even the ottoman burger. Rice pudding for desert, some good wine - exquisite! And good ambiance to boot.

Absolutely delicious food, best Turkish food I've had. I got the Kazan special I believe it was called and it was a substantial amount of food, and very protein heavy. Perfect if you're trying to have high protein consumption. Wait staff was all very kind and attentive. Easy 5 stars for me.

We stumbled upon this lovely neighborhood eatery near our hotel on our first night in London. The food, service and ambiance was great for the causal meal we needed after a long night of traveling and a full day of sight seeing. The pomegranate mojito was the perfect pairing for all the delicious Turkish plates. We started with the hummus dish and ended with the chicken sish - a chicken kebab with rice and a salad. The price point was great as well: the drinks, apps, dinners and tip for two was less than 60 euros. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a casual meal during your stay in the area!

I had the sea bass with mash potatoes and with spinach salad. It was amazing, the spinach tasted like it was grown in the Garden of Eden, and watered with the blood of virgins. The sea bass and mash potatoes were absolutely amazing too. The service was, the seating, and feeling around the restaurant was great. Please come here and give the nice people your money.

Was in town for work and came here with a work colleague. The service was great. Everyone was attentive and helpful but not overbearing. We started with bread and olives. For our main, we ended up ordering a delicious meat medley with chicken, lamb and kofte. It was served on an elegant platter. I ordered a martini which was a little watery but overall the food was delicious and prices affordable. I would come back for the food and service.

Extremely recommended from the service to the quality to the ambiance to everything. Wow, a true experience.i was seated to a nice setting with great staff and greeted immediately. Then, I was given time to look over the menu, I was given some pita and olive oil and some amazing tomato sauce paste that was remarkable in taste and spice. I ordered Turkish tea along with a chicken kabob plate plus spinach and feta pockets. Wow, then the taste. This food was perfectly seasoned, came with great sides such as their salad and rices. There was a great at the end and the baklava was very fresh and lovely. I love this place and as a tourist was very impressed, even reached out the owner to speak about the all around great restaurant. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic dinner...we would highly recommend...local owned and they take great pride in the food and their service...you cannot go wrong...also it is a great value for the price.

Move on. Look at the stars, not the review, I'm tired, on a train and you'll read better. I like Kazan, it's a cosy, warm and inviting dining space, the food isn't the last word in outstanding technical detail but it's good, uncomplicated and hearty fare, won't break the bank (for the increasingly upscale area) and has always been a good place to eat. Easily wears it's 4* award.

Incredible food! Go to Kazan. Seriously, it's amazing. The food is out of this world. I highly recommend one of the platters to share. Best hummus and great babaganoush. The helimi and borek are fantastic as well. Everything we tasted was delicious. Good wine selection, extremely friendly and more than competent service. Ambiance is delightful, especially for dinner. No downside here. Reasonable prices. Went twice in a three-day visit to London. Don't miss it!

The food was very good. The ordering process was a little confusing as the "healthy lunch" wasn't on the menu. The service was a little abrupt but the meal ultimately was tasty.

Kazan is definitely well worth its value in every way possible. It's quite close to the Victoria tube station, all you have to do is go down Wilton Road for a few blocks and it's on the right side. The waiters were very helpful and very friendly and did not have any attitude when I was talking to them. The decor of the restaurant is dim enough to create an intimate atmosphere. And of course, the food was excellent. It's well-priced and you definitely get your money's worth. The classy design that the restaurant has belies its friendly and quite affordable nature.

Two words: Hünkar Beğendi! This place does this classic dish of lamb on a bed of eggplant purée perfectly. The service was excellent, and I was able to get a glass of Turkish wine to go with the meal. Highly recommended to anyone looking for upper-end (though not terribly pricey) Turkish cuisine.

My husband and I stumbled across this restaurant while walking through the neighborhood. It was pretty packed and everyone in the restaurant seemed to be having a great time so we thought why not? The food is exquisite! We ordered the prawn appetizer, the lamb kofta, duck, and Turkish apple and ice cream dessert. Everything was bursting with flavor! I wish we had a place like this back in Austin Texas. If we ever come back to London we would definitely visit again.

This was my first foray into Turkish food and I was NOT disappointed! Everything we had was delicious and great portion sizes. Anyone I know that visits London I will recommend they go to Kazan and Dishoom.

There are not a whole lot of restaurant choices in the area, so Kazan offers a great venue for having a properly nice meal or holiday parties. The food is delicious here but not that authentic according to my Turkish colleague, then again, he considers most Turkish food unauthentic if it is outside of Turkey. Both the cold and hot mezze were good. As for main, I don't think anything quite beat the Sultan's Shish Kebabs. Juice cubes of lamb grilled to perfection with rice and salad. If it is good enough for the Sultan, it is definitely good enough for me. I have friends who tried lamb cutlet and chicken and they all gave good reviews. If you are in the area, it is a great option, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

The decor of this place is fancier than any other Turkish restaurant I've visited in the states. Dim and dark, it looks like it would become a nightclub after 12am. My mates and I enjoyed most of the dishes that we ordered. We started off with the stuffed sardines that was wrapped in grape leaves. Tasty, but watch out of the many small bones. The hummus was a little disappointment though, as it was tasteless and the serving small. I ordered the lamb shish which was grilled tender and had no gamy taste. The roasted lamb dish that my partner had was also a winner, as the meat fell of the bone. Overall an enjoyable dinner and the location is easy to find. Maybe it was because I was becoming familiar with the city and its streets.

We found this place on Yelp, and decided to give it a go. Best decision ever made, this restaurant delivers on so many levels. Initially we were served a bread basket with a plate of olives (delicious.) We ordered tabbouleh salad and an eggplant purée dip for starters, and we got lamb cutlets with rice and chicken skewers with chips for the mains. The starters were great, but let me tell you, the lamb was cooked IMPECCABLY, just right. They were hearty chunks grilled on the outside with a pink center, it was so tender and absolutely delicious. The chicken was also seasoned and cooked to perfection, I didn't know you could get so much out of chicken breasts. The meal ends with a small plate of complimentary Turkish delights, which I've never liked, but they were so good that I had two. Bottom line? You need to visit Kazan, you won't be disappointed.

This place was recommended by a colleague and it was as expected. It's cosy and has great oriental flare. We decided to share a few dishes and whilst some of the portions are small since the prices are right, it's fine to order lots. We ordered the prawns wrapped in shredded filo, chicken shish, chicken wings, the sausages, baba ganoush, the harem salad, the goat cheese cotted in walnut and more. All were fabulous but my favorites were the prawns, the sausages and the salad. All the flavours were very fresh and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to hopefully try more.

My husband and I absolutely loved this place. We didn't have a reservation and they were very accommodating, we were previously turned down at a couple of other places because we didn't make reservations. The food was amazing, loved the spicy sauce they offered.

This is a very popular Turkish restaurant, a few minutes' walk from Victoria station, with excellent food and restrained dark-wood decor. I've never heard anything but praise for the food itself, which explains its popularity. The set lunch at £10 is very good value. The evening meals, including a good range of mezzes, vary in price - expect to pay about £30+ a head for dinner. Plenty of vegetarian options available. The service has always been very friendly, although it can slow up when they are busy, as well as getting a bit noisy. Great for a get together with friends, but lunch is a better bet for business. Booking is advisable in the evening.

A nice atmosphere with some interesting touches. Service was pretty prompt overall. We shared a vegetarian mezze platter that was really tasty, but we had to request more bread to finish it with. The dessert really blew us away. We had a variety of ice creams (rose, pistachio, cinnamon and Turkish coffee) and the baklava. And it was all incredible! Like eyes roll back in your head good. So glad we stopped here!

This is a very good restaurant if you stick with the unconventional food. I had the Albanian liver which was excellent and did not tasted of liver at all. My husband had the mixed vegetarian maze plate. Both were very good. For mains I had the lamb on aubergine which was delicious and my husband had a mix of grilled meat, and it was no more than OK. The service was good but the only recommendations we got was to try the mixes. This seems like an easy way out of recommending, "try a bit of everything" is not a serious recommendation! All said, I recommend eating there.

Great ambience, friendly staff and delicious food! I ordered some vegetarian food and it was worth trying. Would recommend this place to friends!

Excellent food. Classic middle eastern dishes loaded with flavor. Excellent service. Make reservations.

Due to its Ottoman heritage, a lot of Turkish restaurants pride themselves in their roots and take on the challenge of serving 'Ottoman cuisine', which is a step higher than your standard Turkish cuisine. Since the Ottoman empire consisted of such a vast territory, it is only logical that it's cuisine is a melting pot of different influences, coming from regions such as the Balkans, Persia, Armenia, the Kaukasus, and the Middle East. Ottoman cuisine, in one word, is indulgence, getting a taste of what Sultan Süleyman might have felt like. Something like feeling quite like royalty when high-tea-ing, right? Kazan restaurant is highly accesible by public transport. It is located at the Victoria Tube station, so we easliy got there by public transport. It is the first restaurant that calls itself Ottoman,to actually being worthy of that description in terms of interior; the whole room feels so luxurious and exotic with its golden detailings typical Middle Eastern patterns. I had booked a table in the lounge, so we sat on a comfortable couch with embroidered cushions. The only minus here was that they had stuffed the tables so close to one another that you could practically look into one another's plate. Not that the food didn't look appretising enough foor that though... On to the food! As for starters I took kadayif prawns, which are king prawns, wrapped in phyllo, fried and served in paprika mayonnaise. And boy were they good! I am a huge prawn fan, but the only person in the world who always makes them good enough for my liking is my grandma. But Kazan restaurant managed to exceed my expectations: the prawns were juicy but still had a nice crunch to them at the same time. My husband was absolutely delighted to see they had 'Arnavut Cigeri', (Albanian liver), which you cannot find anywhere in Belgium (and which is even hard to find in regular Turkish restaurants in Turkey as well). and he was absolutely amazed at the quality of the liver. Liver apprently is not easy to cook, and certainly not in that exact typical way, but the way I understood it from his gestures, Kazan nailed that one as well. Main course then; my husband had Adana Köfte; which is strictly speaking not an Ottoman dish, but a typical Turkish one, to be found in many a Turkish snack bar. Yet, the preparation method was what set this Köfte apart from the rest, since according to my lyrical husband it was; 'Adana Köfte on a Gault Millault level'. I had a kuzu pirzola, which are lamb chops, and I have to say; I cannot remember the last time I have ever tasted a lamb meat so soft, and so full taste. The fries that were served with both dishes were excellent as well. (coming from two Belgian residents, that says a lot, no? ;)) As for desert, we both had a little assorted Ottoman dessert plate with a delicious piece of baklava, a chocolate piramid, and some rose ice cream. Of course, this is just a small look into what Kazan has to offer, since the menu is so extensive. I just have one suggesition for the Londoner, or those visiting London; come and have dinner here, you won't regret it!

The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender; had it with eggplant smash. We also ordered the Ottoman Grill- delicious! Meat was grilled to perfection. The waiting staff was prompt and very professional. Our particular waiter was patient enough to not look annoyed when we asked him to repeat himself at various times throughout our dinner. He recommended the Sultans Favourites for dessert and I now recommend it to all of you! Rose petal ice cream paired very well with the three different sweets.

Let's tell a little story about an imaginary girl named... erm... Flora. From a very early age, this wee Flora lady loved her food - and contrary to popular behaviour of children her age, she loved trying new and interesting cuisines: Japanese, Nigerian, Caribbean, Spanish... the more strange veggies and spices the better. However she did not venture to eat Turkish food, as she thought that the only item on the menu was - wait for it - turkey. Poor Flora. If only she had gone to an amazing Turkish restaurant like Kazan where she not only could have tucked away in a seductive venue with golds and deep reds and magic, but she would have seen that the menu included everything from chargrilled minced lamb with kashar cheese, kirmizi biber, and king prawn, monkfish and scallops simmered with mediterranean vegetables. (And yes, you can guess why I ordered the Biber...) That's what I recently devoured. And it was pure divinity. Poor poor Flora. (She'll be happy to know that no turkeys were harmed in the writing of this review.)

I think I just found a meat feast fit for a Turkish king! And here it is, at Kazan Victoria. It's great for group dining with the large round feasting tables and comfy corner sofas. The sharing meze makes for perfect party food and the wine menu is extensive. But, and there is a but, there is something just missing for me. The food is mouthwatering i can't deny that, it's posh Turkish fair, but in Dalston you'll get treats just as tasty and authentic for less than half the price. Also for groups over 7 you have to leave card details, what's with that? I would totally go again, but just not tomorrow. Actually I've eaten so much I may not even eat tomorrow!

Came here for lunch on Thursday with a colleague who had visited before. The menu offered lots of interesting and tempting food and as I love mezze we stuck with a choice of six different dishes which were ample for two plus some lovely bread and olives. The portions were good and the taste delicious. We shared a bottle of sauvignon blanc and finished the meal with dessert and coffee. The service was great and the room was pleasant and filled with light on the first sunny day of April. My only slight pause in not going for the full five stars was the size of the bill which, with service, amounted to nearly £85 - which I felt was a pretty large amount for a mezze lunch.

I was here on a very cold rainy day , famished and a bit cranky I must admit. We were here around lunch time, since it was a weekend I was expecting it to be very busy but it was not super busy. We were immediately seated, a very good looking waiter promptly took drink orders and brought some really top notch bread. Warm, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, almost a foccacia like consistency. it was very difficult to stop gobbling up the bread along with the olives and oil that accompanied them. We got 2 appetiser a cold and hot meze - eggplant stew almost, and spicy garlicky Turkish sausage. Both excellent. For main courses we got the Lamb stew over mashed eggplant (mine!) just delicious. I was very curios how the mashed egg plant might be prepared...it is almost like babaganouj with more texture and minus the Tahini. Hubby got the Meatballs in a tomato sauce, it was incredibly delicious. Dad got the Monk fish and shrimp kebabs, I thought it was lacking in salt, the good looking waiter got me some zatar to sprinkle on it..I was happy. Mum got the Seafood stew which was out of the world. The portions are just right (read not American portions) even then I was way too full. We ordered dessert but couldn't eat it, had to wrap it to go! Mum had Turkish coffee (of which I had a sip) ...again very good. Parents, Hubby and I are HUGE fans of this place, will definitely be going back on our next visit.

"Lovely" Turkish food in an attractive setting. Had the Ottoman feast for 29.95: Selection of Cold Mezze (3.25 stars) - hummus and other dips were ok, nothing memorable. Bread could have been tastier. Selection of Hot Mezze (3.25 stars) - Feta Borek (fried thing) was ok, grilled hellimi (firm cheese char-grilled) was tasty, sucuk (Turkish sausage) was good, falafel - have had better, was rather crumbly Selection of Grilled meat (4.5 stars) - definitely the highlight. So delicious, perfectly seasoned, and served with chunky fries that have a really tasty slight turkish seasoning. Dessers (4 stars) - a plate with a little of everything: baklava, stuffed apricots, ice cream, and more Bottom line: Carnivore's delight and turkish sampler's delight. Portions seemed a little small given that it's called the"feast" but you'll leave full from all the courses and meats. Will definitely come back for the meats.
