Their food is a work of art. Proper foil wrapped jacket potatoes with char grill taste rare these days. Omelette that are thick and filing not salty. Good portions great staff we been a few time definitely go again can’t have chips though if your a coeliac like me though as cooked with other stuff so be careful.

Kazmicks is a local, family run cafe (in the daytime) and restaurant (on weekend evenings). We go there regularly and always have a lovely meal. Food is great, cocktails are great and service is outstanding. The weekend speciality is steak on a hot rock and at least one of us will always have that. I also highly recommend the Korean chicken tenders. They are delicious. Whether you visit in the day for an excellent breakfast or at night for a wonderful meal, you won't be disappointed.

This was my first visit to kazmicks but it certainly won't be the last. I ordered the fillet steak and I have to say the quality was very good. The steak came on a hot stone so I could cook the steak to my liking. I.like it rare so only cooked it for a minute or two and it was so good, there was no blood but still very rare. The staff were very helpful and accommodating with our requests.

A gem in the desert of decent restaurants. Very few left locally and this is certainly up there in the top two! Lovely team of people to look after you, warm cozy environment, a nice selection of drinks including cocktails and the food is, in my opinion, outstanding! The hot rock steaks are excellent!! Parking is available 3-4 mins away in the quadrant. Thoroughly recommend this establishment and may it continue to thrive long into the future! Great job guys. We'll be back. 👏👏👏👏👏👍 I have repeated this review again because it still stands! Absolutely brilliant!! 👍👍

Been a loyal customer for years, booked in with a party, I couldn’t attend but the other 10 plus friends did, Kazmics charged me for my non attendance, I spend over £100 a month with these jokers, won’t be returning. They seem nice but they are not behind the smiles as I found out which is disappointing my friends were also disappointed with the rudeness from staff around the cocktails menu too

Decided to try the bar and cocktail menu. The cocktails are so lovely and by far the best I’ve tasted. The bar menu didn’t disappoint either. The chicken tenders were absolutely delicious and portion sizes were bigger than expected. As always the atmosphere and service were welcoming and friendly and staff went above and beyond to make the evening enjoyable, fun and relaxing. My only gripe is that I now don’t know which menu to order from as they are both delicious. Highly recommend. Have already booked again.

Friendly staff and really good food. Have been both evenings and lunch times. Lunch time menu is a good variety without being complicated. Had very good Cajun chicken, omelettes and other dishes for lunch with generous sized fruit juices. In evenings, they're used to people visiting before a theatre trip so will make sure you're ready in time. Lots of steaks on hot stones gets quite smoky though. Haven't tried the tapas nights yet.

Absolutely gorgeous place with fantastic food, service and atmosphere! It really ticks all boxes. The cheesy garlic bread starter was delicious, could happily eat multiple helpings of that and be quite happy 🤣 the steak on a hot rock was a really unique experience and was so delicious! No cold steak halfway through eating and you can "cook" your steak to your liking - genius! Highly recommend the ribeye! My brother had the t-bone and loved it too though it was HUGE (around 700g or 1.5lb) so felt overly full after! It was absolutely delicious! Blue cheese sauce, chips and salad and everything was lovely too! And the 2 for £13 cocktails (cosmopolitan and espresso martini) were also lovely!!

Very disappointed as I am a regular customer, today I had to wait 55 minutes for my breakfast to arrive I watched several people arrive and leave while I was waiting, when I asked I was told it was because I wanted a poached egg instead of a fried egg.

I have known about this place for a long while and decided I have got to finally get in there. I knew before I went I would not be disappointed at all. We chose off the menu a couple of Tomahawks which is the beast of all steaks to be appreciated. Beautiful chunk of fresh quality indeed. Cooked to perfection with us to finish off on the hot stones. You could not ask for a better experience. The sangria was made to perfection. The restaurant ambience is is modern and warm. We were made to feel so welcome from us first walking in right the way through to us leaving. If you have not tried Kazmicks then I suggest you do so as you are missing out on a beautiful eating & drinking experience. Would we go again? Try and stop us.

Had a quick bite while doing some Christmas shopping and errands in Town. Only a table of 3 was available so I was warned I might be asked to move if a smaller table came free, which it did and I didn't mind moving at all, but I was asked to move before the table had even been cleared and it wasn't wiped with a cloth, only the waitress' bare hand to brush off the crumbs! Didn't exactly inspire confidence in their hygiene policy... Had a Cheese & Mushroom Omelette and the Cheese was all down one end but it was otherwise nice and the Chips were lovely and hot. Good sized portions. A bit more expensive than other cafes in the area serving similar food and having 3 prices for different sized teas seems a bit tight (I know boiling a kettle costs more these days but still just one teabag!!), but they're obviously aiming at a more restaurant market, as it appeared to be fully licensed. Was curious but not inspired to try the evening restaurant menu based on this visit

The fillet steak was really fantastic and the service was lovely. Great cocktails too. The steaks come with a hot rock to cook them on, so if your chips etc are brought out at the same time they're a bit cool by the time the steak is ready. The side salad could be better (I got iceberg lettuce and roughly chopped cucumber/tomato. Mixed leaves/pea shoots etc would have taken the meal to the next level). We will definitely be back though- great venue to have in dunstable.

Great to have somewhere that can specialise in a Steak. Hot Rocks methods means you can enjoy you steak, just the way that you like it. I like my steak Blue but it can mean towards the end it is cold. This way it can still be hot and still be very rare in the middle. Service was good, attentive without being intrusive. Good food with good company nice way for a Friday night to be spent.

So we were looking to eat a breakfast somewhere and we found this restaurant on google maps. Overall it had very good reviews so we were keen to try this place. Staff was friendly but breakfast was horrible, we took full english breakfast and omlette. I don't know what happen in the kitchen today but food was so oily, everything from english breakfast was literally drown in oil, omlette wasn't that bad but then we had black coffee and it was literally the worst coffee we ever had. Similar coffee that you can find in every hotel room. Later that day we both had stomach issues and had few toilet visits, I don't recommend breakfast's over there

To start with, despite my rating I do want to say that the food was absolutely faultless. I would go so far as to say it was the best taster menu I've ever had. Perhaps the best meal I've ever had if I'm honest! Every dish was so expertly put together and each one hit all the right flavour notes. You could tell that Steve has worked hard to ensure everything is perfectly balanced. The dish presentation was elegant and didn't feel pretentious, unlike some other taster menus I've had (costing far more) which seemed more about visual wow factor than actually tasting delicious and leaving you wanting more. The service was also excellent and there was a good atmosphere. The waiter was upbeat and there was a bit of well-judged banter too. Each dish was presented with a brief intro to the ingredients, and a nice touch was that Steve also presented a couple of the dishes himself. If this is all that matters to you, you can stop reading my review now because the rest is nitpicking, but for a premium experience I feel a few tweaks would have made for a knockout evening. The points below are far from dealbreakers, so please do take that into account - they absolutely shouldn't stop you going. - No prices on the drinks menu and no beer on offer. I think the wine list may have had pricing, but we don't drink wine so we were looking at what else was on offer. I assume that people will generally go to Eileen's with a healthy budget, and perhaps not really care what they're going to add on top of the taster menu price (which, for what it is, is very good value). However, it felt really awkward to be asking the waiter for the cost of a G+T - and he didn't come back with an answer so we just ordered anyway, not knowing what we would be billed. We also felt that the drinks menu presentation was poor - it was a set of laminated A4 sheets of paper, which just didn't feel premium. There weren't any beers on the drinks menu either - but given that the sheets were all separate, I just wonder if one was missing as we thought this was odd. - Decor. We were in the downstairs area, and it feels like there's a disparity between the food proposition and the environment. There are some uplighters dotted around which feel quite dated, but the thing that felt very non-premium were the cheap LED rechargeable table lamps. When we were seated, the waiter turned it on and within a few minutes it started flickering which was really distracting so I turned it off, which kind of killed the ambience. I asked for a replacement and that one ran out of power within a couple of minutes. The waiter did spot this, calling them the bane of his life, and replaced with a simple candle which was so much more appropriate anyway. They should honestly throw them all away and stick with candles - keep it simple! I would say that the upstairs area, where the bar is, had a bit more appeal. - Music. While the music choice was absolutely fine (rather upbeat for premium dining, but it worked) the music service was a free one - meaning that every few songs an advert came on, like we were listening to a local radio station. This really cheapened the whole thing, and although it probably went unnoticed by people in deep conversation, once I noticed it once, each time an advert came on it really jarred with me. Like I said, the food was absolutely sensational, the service was great and the things above wouldn't stop us returning. I've only docked a point because at this price point you have certain expectations, and there were a few things about the environment that fell a little short - but so easily fixed.
