Kervan Sofrasi Restaurant in Enfield

We had one of your waiters Miran and he was remarkable. I’m quite a fussy eater and he had all the patience in the world to get my meal correct. Thank you Miran Elite worker.

It feels like we’re in Istanbul! We had a delicious Turkish breakfast and loved it. It’s a shame they don’t have decaf coffee here, but I quickly ran to the Pret across the street to get some for my partner.

Great for large family gathering. Delicious food and good service

Everything is good about this restaurant , food service price

Brilliant food and great service too

If you put this in-front of a dog they wouldn’t eat it . Is this the standard kervan is pushing ? Liver

Honestly the service is so bad, you’re better off going to haringey and eating there. Workers have no clue what they’re doing, poor host doesn’t know how sit people down. We came as a family and best believe they didn’t even bother asking if we were okay or how many people we were, told us to sit anywhere and when we choose a table they told us no? maybe tell us which table is available. Food was average like i said you’re better off going Gokyuzu or Hala. I, myself work in a turkish restaurant chain which has multiple branches like in haringey and we at least know how to take care of customers to the best standard which kervan lacks. Rolling their eyes constantly and making huff noises when we ask something which is crazy and disrespectful. Don’t waste your money here and go somewhere else.

Great food, exceptionally fast service.

Just ordered soup. It is very salty I had to bin it.Waste of time and waste of money

Came here a few days ago. Best Turkish cuisine in all of London! Excellent flavours and value for money

Amazing food however maybe we went during a busy day so had to wait quite a long time before we got seated. Our food took about 40 mins to arrive after that but it was all worth the wait. The mean was juicy, tender and cooked just right. Over all I would definitely recommend this place as long as it’s not too busy

Very bad experience, very poor service, food was below average, never visit again.

Came here for dinner and got the large meze, loved all the sides it came with and the meat was very good portion, would come back

Went there for breakfast with my girl . A guy called Robin was amazing, he was friendly and attentive .The food was superb . Overall amazing experience . Highly recommend . 👌🏻

Our yearly Ramadan iftar spot with friends. Good food, nice staff, big portions. Highly recommend

I've come here many times before and as usual I'm not disappointed. The food was great. What I mean by great is 10/10. The customer service was the best I've ever experienced. The names I would like to highlight are 'Sayed' because of his kindness, generosity, and his perfect customer service. Just Sayeds vibe made the whole restaurant great. Another person who I would like to highlight is 'Bekir' because of his great customer service and kindness.

To expensive know not like ol time

Price it’s very expensive for the food the serve on the platter £72 there is not meat at all half it’s rice shame,plus u are charging for service charge….not coming there anymore it’s not worth it for the price u charge the atmosphere it’s not great.

In one word, it cannot be described as disgusting, but it was disgusting, we ordered the food, it arrived 2 and a half hours later, cold as ice, and the meat was a disgrace. It was burnt. We paid £113. Even £0 is more than £0. Even 1 star is too much for you. The only place of taste is Diyarbakir Haringay. I definitely recommend it.

Had an amazing time and the food was GREAT. Big thank you to Eda the waitress from Des’s retirement party

A super place for great eater! We ordered large meze Karvan extra special. Portion was big enough for 8 of us. Unable to finish! Gonna pack and take out the unfinished. Delicious for the mixed meat, lamb, beef and chicken as well! Grilled till the best texture. None of the part meat were burn. I likesbthe salad as well. Wah La! Mints tea is good for refreshing so does the apple tea

Taste Lovely restaurant Turkish staff and some of them they are nicer than Turkish

Went for the first time and felt pretty good on food, atmosphere and service . But limited dishes for vegetarian 😅

The service was great they were polite and very welcoming. The food was superb and very delicious. Would recommend it to anyone

I can’t believe I’ve lived nearby for four years and have never been here. The service is beyond spectacular and the food is great. With fair prices and fantastic food you can’t go wrong. They are also amazing with families. Five stars.

Cenamos aquí el martes 11 de febrero de 2025 para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi marido. Tuvimos un shish de cordero y un shish de pollo servido con ensalada y patatas fritas, también había hummus y tztsiki, ensalada y pan pitta para empezar. Muy buen restaurante local.

The food was okay with generous portions and they serve free salad and bread. Service was just at an average level, could be improved. There was one staff who had a very long ponytail dangerously touching the food when she served. Space is so cramped you need to squeeze in to get to your seat. Also, the seats need to be refurbished as they were looking so grubby.

Disgusting food. Wrap tastes like you are eating a cardboard, it’s dry and small, with absolutely no sauce inside! The place itself is very loud and chaotic.

I enjoyed their breakfast, Service was good, and nice atmosphere.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Kervan for seven years, but my recent visit was nothing short of appalling. It pains me to write this, but I feel compelled to share my experience. From the moment my meal arrived, it was evident that something was off. The food tasted as though it had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. The dishes were extremely burnt — a clear indication of negligence. However, the most shocking part was the grilled tomatoes. They were served ice cold, as if they hadn’t even been placed in the microwave. This was a major red flag, suggesting the use of old, reheated food. Upon bringing this to the attention of the staff, I was met with indifference. Despite the obvious issues, we were still charged the full bill without any compensation or sincere apology. This experience has truly tarnished the reputation of a place I once adored. I’m extremely disappointed and hope they reassess their quality control and customer service. Until significant changes are made, I will be reluctant to return.

One can have seriously good food there

Great service, food was delicious, the restaurant looks new, very clean. My new favourite place. Thank you!

Eda was our waitress and she was brilliant. Really attentive and went out the way to make our visit amazing. Will be back again no doubt

The food was amazing and the amount of food you get is crazy. I had the mixed kebab and it was delicious. They also gave us a ton of free extras… salads, dips, breads etc. I can’t wait to come back to this place

Kervan is always a lovely restaurant with amazing food!! The service is good however is quite expensive

Very popular, there were lots of people when I visited. Only issue, I had was being cold due to drafts coming in from the external doors..

Hi I would just like to say that I very enjoyed the food and service today.I would like to highlight the name 'Sayed' because he was very kind, helpful, friendly and he was a good person. Additionally Sayed made the restaurants atmosphere way better. We will always come back for Sayed and the food.

“Estaba emocionado de probar un desayuno turco tradicional, pero este restaurante se perdió por completo la marca. La comida era totalmente insípida y carecía de los sabores vibrantes que esperaba. Los quesos eran blandos, las mermeladas tenían un sabor artificial y las aceitunas eran demasiado saladas o extrañamente amargas. El menemen, que debía ser rico y sabroso, era acuoso y poco sazonado. Incluso el pan, que es una parte tan importante de un desayuno turco, estaba rancio y frío. El té fue otra decepción: era débil, tibio y sabía como si hubiera estado sentado durante horas. Para empeorar las cosas, el servicio fue dolorosamente lento, y tuvimos que pedir repetidamente artículos básicos como mantequilla y miel, que deberían haberse servido automáticamente. Por el precio, esto fue una estafa completa. No recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera que busque una verdadera experiencia de desayuno turco.»

Friendly staff. tasty food, worth the drive.

Excellent food, great hospitality.

The food was delicious,all the mezze,salads was served very quickly and main dishes were served soon after.The staff is professional and polite.

Too good to go with this place is heavily unreliable. I suggest you do not rely on this restaurant to supply any left overs on the app as it doesn't matter what time you buy they 99% will cancel your order on the app last minute

I loved this place. I went for dinner It was amazing. The staff very kind and help us with some suggestion for food

The Turkish breakfast was really nice, with plenty of food and fresh bread. We couldn’t even finish the breakfast for two. Everything was tasty and fresh, although some dishes, like the grilled vegetables, were served cold—we would have preferred them hot. The omelette wasn’t as firm as we like, but overall, I recommend this place. The staff are very friendly and even offer free tea and extra bread if you want. Definitely worth trying!

We went in impromptu on a busy Saturday evening at about 5.20pm for a family dinner to celebrate a 15th birthday. We were seated almost immediately. Service in general is super efficient and we thank Tizzy very much for his wonderful manner and for executing the service part of his role quickly and professionally. We got a jug of apple juice and the mixed platter to share for a family of 6, 2 adults and 4 children, including a teenager. It was more than enough and absolutely delicious - meat, salad, bread, rice, chips, bulger - a variety with something for everyone :) Finished off with tea and a peppermint&lemon hot water which was a super way to digest the food. We will be back, hopefully with Tizzy to wait on us again!! :)

I have mixed feelings about our experience . Same things were ok but, others need a lot of some improvements. Our group arrived around 10 AM for breakfast. The restaurant had the front door open and inside it was very very cold. We tried seating away from the main door but we simply couldn't find any table away from the cold and draft. We ordered Turkish breakfast and the food was good overall. One incident that happened, I ordered filter coffee but I was brought expresso coffee instead. I asked them to change it and they brought again an expresso. At the same time, the coffee they were using was poor quality. The service was not great. There were plenty of servers around but it always took them ages to notice us whenever we needed . Overall I didn't feel very welcomed and I wouldn't return

Service is always excellent, have no complaints. Food could be better, sometimes it lacks flavour.

Great tasting food and excellent value for money

Nice food tad expensive for drinks

This place is already one of my favourite places, their Doner Kebab, is ace. The food is always excellent, and service is very, very good. What makes it extra special for me is that they are one of very few restaurants in the area who have enough space to have a conservatory area, where they allow customers to bring in their well behaved dogs. UPDATE: 30.12.2024! STILL GREAT!!! Food, Service and restaurant all top marks. 😋

Buena comida del restaurante ok personal increíble, pero tenga cuidado que añaden cargo por servicio sin decirle. Además, los precios han subido mucho.

I’ve been a regular at Kervan Southgate in the past, but sadly, the quality of food has really gone downhill. The bread was hard and stale, and the chicken was tough and rubbery—definitely not the fresh, flavorful meals I used to enjoy here. To top it off, they’re charging £7.40 for a beer, which feels overpriced for what’s supposed to be a casual dining experience. Really disappointing overall.

Such lovely and friendly staff also wonderful food will definitely be back .Thankyou

Best Turkish restaurant in London

Excellent place for Turkish food in North of London near Southgate tube station, delicious Grilled platters of chicken and lamb. Staff was courteous and polite, service was quick and food was lovely.

I normally order 3 - 4 times a week through Deliveroo, First time visiting the restaurant in Southgate. Amazing customer service, great food big portions highly recommended. Special thank you for (Ayse) She's one of the bestest waitress ive seen after longtime of my restaurants experience. ( Make sure You Try Manti ) 5 Star.

Good food and atmosphere. Great team of staff.

Food quality is always good there is no complain about , But about the staff they need to be train more about customer service in this country. They close at 12 we went 11:20 for dinner there After a long journey , they brought the food 11:37 But the staff told we should leave at 12 and 5 6 staff standing around our table to finish our we give you plate to leave at 12 , they brought the bill 5 mins after the food and took the payment And we were literally kicked out before 12 Very disappointing .

Unfortunately at over £7 a pint, I will not be returning.

We only had Lahmacun takeaway. They were nice and big but the flavour not quite right.More worryingly I've had the runs the next day

Best order small chicken kebab.

Went here after many recommendations - was not disappointed! Food was absolutely delicious and the portions and prices were very fair. Will definitely visit again if in the area!

Fuimos a keravan en Southgate nos dieron una mesa que estaba rodeada por las otras mesas que no era cómodo en absoluto. La comida no era como antes, pido lam diner que venía muy frío y seco no disfrutamos en absoluto de lo único que quieren servir comida y dar su mesa al próximo cliente. Muy muy decepcionante por el dinero que te cobran.

My husband, son, and I visit here at least once a month, and it’s always an incredible experience. The food is absolutely delicious—so flavorful and satisfying. Our son, who’s usually a very picky eater, absolutely loves all the grilled dishes and enjoys them every time without hesitation. Every visit has been nothing short of amazing, with consistently great service and food. If you haven’t tried this place yet, it’s an absolute must!

Above average turkish restaurant and u know what u get there.. Not rubbish but not top qaulity food either. Always been happy here. Service great 👍

They got my order wrong twice and cold. The food was 8.8 out if 10 .

Amazing Turkish restaurant, lovely food and friendly staff .

Food was lovely. I ate like a king

Great customer service also food was fantastic 👌 thank you for making my birthday special 😀

Delicious!! Amazing quality meat, beautifully marinated and cooked excellently.

Invited to a friend's birthday lunch. Bread, salad, hummus and tzatiki to start then a wonderful feast on a platter. Different cuts of chicken, lamb on rice, bulgur and bread. More than enough to go around. Birthday cake, baklava and Turkish tea to finish. Very enjoyable, excellent service.

Invitado al almuerzo de cumpleaños de un amigo. Pan, ensalada, hummus y tzatiki para comenzar una maravillosa fiesta en bandeja. Diferentes cortes de pollo, cordero sobre arroz, bulgur y pan. Más que suficiente para dar vueltas. Tarta de cumpleaños, baklava y té turco para terminar. Muy agradable, excelente servicio.

We have ordered chicken doner. They must have changed the meat because it was very fat and far away from what they did before. Salad was poor looking. The service there is always great.

Fui con mi marido a comer algo el lunes por la noche. El servicio solía ser muy bueno, pero se ha deslizado. Me senté y me dieron menús rápidamente. 4 chicos se quedaron hablando cerca de las cajas y nos siguieron mirando cuando habíamos elegido claramente como los menús estaban cerrados y de nuevo en la mesa. Finalmente vinieron y preguntaron qué queríamos. La comida de mi marido fue lo primero... Por unos 10 minutos. Estaba a mitad de camino antes de que llegara el mío. Tampoco se ofreció ninguna explicación. Esto nunca había pasado antes. En mi opinión, las comidas deben servirse juntas. Si hubiera habido un error, entonces debería haberse ofrecido una explicación. Cuando el mío finalmente llegó el salmón era encantador, sin embargo, el puré estaba frío como piedra y grumoso. Mi esposo también lo intentó y no podía creer lo malo que era. Ningún miembro del personal se acercó a nosotros y no pude llamar su atención, así que solo comí salmón y verdura y dejé toda la papa. Cuando vinieron a limpiar nuestros platos no preguntaron cómo estaba - literalmente recogieron los 2 platos mientras pasaban. Una verdadera lástima ya que hemos venido aquí años, pero los estándares no son los mismos.

Consistently delivering excellent quality food in everything. Starters, salad, mains, deserts… the best place

Went on a Saturday night, very busy had to wait about 20 minutes as they don’t take bookings for less than 6 people. Free hoummous and salad for the table which was a nice touch. Food was tasty.

Top class , and very yummy food. Love Turkish restaurants.

We eat breakfast 😋 also another time eat kebab

Always so good! Delicious food. And the best service!

As always, did not disappoint. Certainly was a most memorable and enjoyable experience 😊

Very large portions, food was amazing

We went for breakfast today. Everything was really fresh and delicious. The staff was very attentive. Thank you for this delicious breakfast.

I went there on Saturday night, although it was a very busy night still they managed to serve the food quickly, service was good enough, the quality of the meat I ordered (lamb) was very chewy I am afraid

I feel you visit with the expectations of what is basically a fast food sit down restaurant. The service is very good and the staff are pleasant. At peak times it is very busy and extremely noisy. The tables are close together, almost back to back and I had the misfortune of sitting by the stairs which had constant traffic from guests and staff. The food is there to fill you up and is not the best but if you want to have large portions this is ideal. I'd recommend going at slow periods maybe mid week lunch and also avoiding the set meals.

Great service and delicious Turkish breakfasts

Great food, great atmosphere, good value.

Love this restaurant a bit pricey but definitely worth every penny ..nice staff big portions

Bravo from Greece 🇬🇷👏 2 time there nice perfect nice tea in the end :)

Very good and affordable food!!

Great place. Was recommended by a friend , great service and hospitality. Food was lovely even as a vegetarian.

Arrive here with a big appetite. Food, service location all excellent.

Good food, good value, good prices ! Very very busy so book in advance. Off street parking after 18:30

I like the service and food quantity, best turkish karvan branch

A very good Turkish restaurant with good food. My only criticism is that the restaurant was cold and I'm not sure if that's because of the staff standing in the middle area keep a door open for the delivery drivers.

Love the breakfasts here. Great way to start the weekend.

From the beginning until leaving everything was amazing. Everything is fresh and polite staff. Highly recommend.

Well guys ! Their breakfast is the their core item on the menu ! It’s never disappointing .. you will absolutely love it . I am not a big fan of their platters but I believe the good thing is go during the week not the weekends trust me

Had large platter £69.99 for take away and was not adequate to feed two adults and child. Portion size reduce but pricing remains high. I won’t be ordering again. The meat was also chewy.

I had a fantastic experience at Kervan Sofrasi Southgate! The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of authentic Turkish dishes that were fresh and full of flavour. The highlight for me was their brilliant Turkish coffee—rich, aromatic, and the perfect finish to the meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. You also have the option to sit either outside or inside, depending on your preference. Although there's no parking available at the restaurant, you can easily park at the Asda car park nearby. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-quality Turkish breakfast and coffee in Southgate

The noise level and waiters running in to you unbearable. Everything felt rushed after getting through the hectic London traffic. Not enjoyable being barged with dirty plates. Staff were very always very polite and accommodating. I don’t normally leave reviews but had to say how salty the food was. When we left we were all hit with the desire to rush into the Asda opposite and buy more drink. Just woke the following morning my throat hurts, my tummy churning. I remember being soo thirsty during the night. We had the platter. We paid £98 alone for this but it was taken up with bread as a base with less meat than we are used to. We had already had bread as a starter so it went untouched. We were disappointed as we have always platters in other Turkish restaurants and also the fact they took themselves a £14 tip/ service charge at the end slapped on, they don’t even bother asking! We wont be back in a hurry.
