Mevan Restaurant & Bar in North Hertfordshire

Would not return here. We arrived for a large group booking of 9 instead of being showed to our table the waiter pointed to it and told us to go and sit down (they were not very busy by this point) they took ages to order our drinks and food, then tried to tell us that we needed more food and looked disgruntled when we didn’t accept the offer to double our starter order. They don’t tell you that you get complimentary bread they bring it after you’ve ordered so you don’t really need a starter. Very crafty! Then the main course came out before we’re finished our starters and the remainder of the starters were whisked away unfinished. Two out of the nine dinners were cold, we returned them to have them MICROWAVED bearing in mind they were both chicken mmm reheated chicken delightful. And made the yoghurt warm too! They obviously scraped the salad off then ‘threw’ it bs k on the plate. When it arrived back it was almost thrown down in front of us! I mean how dare we complain about our food being cold! Despite complaining neither dinner was removed from the bill. All in all a poor show all round.

Lovely place to eat ..staff are friendly and efficient..food is superb and I have had the steak and chips 3 times .. medium grill was a little bloody but very edible.. one of the best restaurants in Hitchin

2nd visit, absolutely Lovely Mezze dishes for lunch. Really enjoyed. Service good. Highly recommend

Enjoyable experience the interior is very stylish and can seat a lot of people. I ordered the mixed grill to sample all of the meats - some places can have very fatty lamb, the lamb here was cooked very well and knife slid through with no effort it was very tasty. Definitely recommend.

The decor is lovely, such a nice restaurant to be in. The drinks took a long time to arrive and the service on that score was very slow. We would have ordered much more if staff were more attentive. Food was nice but average. I’ve been to much nicer Turkish restaurants locally food-wise. The service was really friendly but feel they need to notch things up a bit.

Very friendly service - very expensive cocktails.

Very nice restaurant. Service and food are top-notch. I also liked the interior inside. Overall, I enjoyed being there. Recommend!!!

We had a table booked last Friday. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The complimentary bread was a nice touch. We had the octopus and chicken liver to start, which were splendid. Compliments to the chef! The food portions and taste were definitely worth the price. It's now our favorite restaurant. Lastly, the espresso martinis were an amazing way to finish the night. 10/10 on cocktails; we will be returning too.

I held a suprise 60th meal for my dad at Mevan. The food was amazing and freshly cooked, the service was faultless. Guests commented on how friendly the team were and how great the food was. I highly recommend Mevan if you are planning an event. I would like to say a special thank you to Serda for all his help with planning the event. It really was memorable! ☺️

Food was very good & more than enough for the two of us, the complimentary bread was a bonus.

Lovely cosy atmosphere, delicious steak and chips, and the dry ice cocktails were devine. We all had an amazing time and definitely will be coming back soon, staff are also very attentive and pleasant. It was a pleasure to dine here. It was good to have some gluten free options too

Just fantastic food and atmosphere even on a Thursday night. Portions ‘just right’. Excellent tasting chicken and lamb shish. Highly recommend.

5* food, all fresh and frozen cocktails are a hit too. Hard to find a good quality restaurant like this 🙌🏻 No photos as dug into the food so fast I couldn’t get one!

Always wonderful food. Go early in the evening if you don't have a reservation. They take phone orders to collect too, well worth knowing!

Love this place. Food is exceptional and never fails to deliver.

so disappointed, one waiter was extremely aggressive towards me, when I explained I felt threatened he started getting aggressive again rather than apologising, i’m really not one to complain but it left me feeling upset and tainted the whole meal, what a shame! portions are pretty small too which we were upset about.

The meal was lovely and attentive staff. However it was impossible to have a normal conversation due to the noise levels. And then the music was turned up, just to add to the headache inducing din! If you don't want to talk to your friends, this is the place for you!

This place is soooooo nice, food amazing good value great staff, definitely be back

Food was delicious, waiter spot on, atmosphere amazing. Highly recommended to anyone

Defo want to return. Great place.

Amazing food, amazing place, 10/10

Always good service excellent good food

Ate here before going to the theater, so needed to be out on time, staff made sure we had a great meal and finished on time. Food was great, very well cooked and really tasty. Got very noisy and was difficult to have a normal volume conversation. Highly recommend

i ORDERED a Monkfish shish I received mixed fish two prawns and two pieces of salmon with onion and pepper. I also ordered a goat cheese starter which was conspicuous by its absence very dissapointing

mix up and I got someone else's dinner. waited another 25mins but they let me have the other order. Not my preferences but a decent gesture.

Friendly and attentive staff. A couple of vegan options which was good.

Highly recommend. We've been here several times and the food, service and atmosphere is always great! Had the kleftiko and mash on this occasion, with a bottle of red and Turkish coffee to finish. Absolutely delicious!

We used to come to Mevan on a regular basis when our kids were really young but haven't been back for ages. As ever the staff were very friendly and accommodating and always make time for the kids. The food was sensational, the lamb chops were barbecued to perfection, sweet and smoky and my partners fish kebab was incredible with succulent monkfish, prawns and salmon. I love this place and it deserves success.

I definitely recommend the steaks. This is delicious, my friend. This restaurant really knows its stuff 👏👏👏 Also the desserts are very good.

We were welcomed as soon as we entered. The waiter allowed us to choose our own table. The atmosphere was warm and clean, lovely seating and artwork. We were given complimentary fresh bread and sauces. The service was excellent and the food delicious and authentic. It was a great experience and I would visit again and recommend. 👌

Food was excellent, service was brilliant and the place has a good atmosphere,

Excellent food, especially the grilled meat. Great service and reasonably priced.

Visited here today with my cousin fantastic food good service will come again but will visit in the evening see if I have same great experience in the evening as I had in the afternoon

Lovely Turkish restaurant with very accommodating staff. Always busy

Quiet place, calm music, excellent service. The staff is very friendly. Very tasty meat dishes. I'll come here again.

I've been there a few times now. Good food and service. Good size portions, however, little expensive. Will definitely go back.

Wonderful experience! First time today, and definitely not the last . Thank you!

Really lovely place, food was excellent we shared the hot and cold starter platters which were gorgeous then I had the mixed kebabs the meat was lovely, juicy and tender. The rice was bland, bulgar Wheat would be much nicer or a mix of both it really lovely. Staff were really friendly too.

Great choice. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend

Always have a great meal here. Staff friendly. Great food. Great price.

Good place to join with family.

Thank you for fitting us in last minute for my mothers 85th Birthday. A special thank you for the un prompted birthday candle surprise. It was a lovely touch Food service and ambiance was exceptional even catering un a quiet space to cater for my fathers deafness Thank you for help making my mother’s birthday extra special

We were a group of 10. The service and food was superb, my wife and I will definitely be back. Thank you for a great night!

Great food and speedy delivery

FOOD AMAZING AND STAFF AMAZING!!!!

The food served was all cooked to perfection. The service was good and prompt. They also serve authentic Turkish coffee. Marks out of 100 easy 100% recommended.

Lovely meal. Friendly, excellent service and delicious food. Definitely coming back.

food was nice but i clearly have ‘different style’ :)

Excellent food, good portion size and came with lovely bread. Will order again.

Lovely food, quick service, delicious lamb, unfortunately didn't have the full dessert menu available when we visited, but would definitely return!

Delivered to the wrong address. I want a refund When I finally located the food, down the road, it was cold

Attentive service. Good food, authentic tasting - not been to Turkey for 30years. Music gets a little loud for a conversation, but they will gladly turn the volume down on request.

Pleasant restaurant with good quality food and good service. Reasonably priced and happy to return.

Great food, went for the mixed grill and it didn’t disappoint! Staff were very friendly and fast to take our orders, would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

I was in Hitchin for work and went here for a team meal. The food was beautiful and we were given some complimentary bread and dip too. Would definitely recommend eating here and trying the Lamb Sarma Beyti 🥰

Omg B e a utiful food 😋 hadn't booked but welcomed and sat almost immediately. Very attentive service and with a smile. Also very accommodating when wanting to swap sautéed potatoes for seasonal veg. 1st pic Chicken Shish, 2nd Monkfish Shish, 3rd bubbles 🥂 Hitchin are blessed to have a few Turkish restaurants but this is my fave 😍

It was so good, great portion size and would definitely order again!

Amazing food and fantastic service. The Salmon Shish was so good. Couldn’t recommend more.

Great food in a lovely atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. Couldn't fault The Mevan

Visited Hitchin this weekend and decided to go here on the Sunday for a Mothers day treat. The food and service was excellent. Very polite and attentive. First class

Really great food and vibrant place. Was a little slow in service as everyone was super busy.

Food is good quality but is quite expensive (prices seem to have gone up quite a bit). As it is so big in there with lots of group bookings can be very loud, so hard to hear, if you are a couple or smaller group

Fantastic chicken Sheesh, would highly recommend, best place in Hitchin.

Great experience! Staff were very friendly from the get go, really polite, helpful and didn’t make us feel pressured! Food was lovely! Tasted fantastic with a really good portion for the money! Me and partner will return! Thanks a lot!

The best restaurant in Hitchin. Top quality service and food every time.

Outstanding. They even sorted the special request.

The food was amazing 👍 huge portions and good quality

Amazing service, food and drinks. They even bought out a birthday dessert with a sparkler for my friend. Thank you for a great evening

No true Vegan options - just veggie meals that you have to have without cheese. Other restaurants in hitchin have Vegan options so we'll go to those instead.

I recommend the lamb chops!! And the monkfish actually.... Lovely food and friendly staff.

Very nice meal and very hot. Good portions. Friendly service and welcoming.

Very popular restaurant on the Saturday evening we dined. Food was very good though definitely on the pricey side. Expect to pay at least £20 for most mains. Limited selection of beers and none available on draft. Service was friendly and efficient.

My son and I popped in for some dessert and coffee on our way to the train station. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and we were served quickly. I had a delicious brownie with chocolate sauce and ice cream, and my son opted for a Ferrero cake, which also looked gorgeous. As we were pushed for time, the waiter kindly gave me a lidded pot to take my remaining brownie away with me. I didn't have time to look at the menu, but I would like to return sometime for a meal.

What a beautiful restaurant. My husband and I both had the fillet steak, however mine was overcooked initially. This was immediately rectified with two fresh meals that were stunning. The chicken wings were amazing too. The gentleman that served us was extremely attentive and helpful. Beautiful Lemon Explosion cocktail. Also a lovely gesture of cake and a candle ( my birthday). Amazing experience. Highly recommend

We had steak, kleftico and babagonoush food was delicious. service was great was not too in your face, attentive but not overly. portions were very good size and food was hot.

What more can I say . We have meaning to come here for a while and now we will be back very soon 😊

Beautiful fresh food...always great service. Best Turkish in Hitchin

Great food, absolutely delicious. Best Turkish food in Hertfordshire. Yaryna was very friendly and entertaining

Lovely food. Nice service. Reasonable price Managed to accommodate us without a booking on a busy Saturday aswell!

Amazing meal and great service. The steak was so nice, flavours were just lovely and cooked to perfection. The Turkish red wine (Sevilen Majestik) was a perfect match with our meal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

This place is an easy 5 stars, consistently good, prices are higher but is worth it .

Good Food took a while for drinks and food to arrive.

Good quality Turkish food. Lovely bread, hummus & other dips. No Turkish tea 😥

Food was lovely, managed to get a table although we hadn't booked, did think was a little expensive however didn't check through bill, a lesson learned

Just popped in on the off chance had the most lovely tasty salmon kebab plus a monk fish kebab, reasonable priced and worth it

We came here the other day. Everything was perfect excellent service from Alli.

The food I had was ok but not entirely to my taste. Great portion sizes.

We visited Mevan restaurant in Hitchin. On arrival Ali made us feel so welcomed.. He recommended the meat platter which was delicious. The service he gave us was excellent. The experience at the restaurant was was amazing. It was my friend's birthday and he made it special for her with some delicious chocolate cheese cake and Oreo cheese cake. Which i would recommend for desert. Definitely coming back. One of the best restaurant I've been to both service and food

Delicious food and very friendly waiting staff. Had a variety of dishes, all of which were devoured by theor recipients. I had a mixed grill which could probably have fed two but I did my best 😁

I had dinner here last night and I must say, the food was amazing. First of, they bring you a bread basket with spicy and some kind of yoghurt dip i think. The bread was packed fully of flavour and freshly made. You know how come places they bring you bread like this so that the main course is a smaller potion, well this place didn’t do that. I ordered the mixed grill and it was packed full of flavours, i almost struggled to finish it. The tomatoes in itself tasted so delicious in the side salad that i could have easily just eaten that 😂. Great food and freshly grilled. Good ambience in the restaurant and staff were polite. Would definitely revisit one day.

We came for a surprise 30th birthday, there were around 14 of us. The staff were absolutely amazing, so accommodating and just lovely really! The food backed that up! Brilliant food, amazing staff, lovely atmosphere, we really couldn't have asked for more! Thank you to all of you!

Very nice place. The food is amazing, staff are polite, and the decor is average. I'd go back, the location is somewhat easy to get to with parking down the road if you're lucky.

Good food. Good vibe. Good waiter service.

Fantastic lunchtime set menu, and fabulous staff, worth a visit.

Food is spectacular, the service was perfect and the atmosphere couldn't have been better

Booking process was not working so turned up and got seated for two ok. Starters and breads were wally nice even if they were just fried frozen food. Wine selection was poor. Mains was nice but found hairs in main so couldn't eat it after that so was disappointed and left hungry. Chef was constantly eating the food as we sat in front of the cooking screen which was further off putting. Maybe needs a hygiene check.

Fantastic food !!! Could not fault !!!

It was a good experience and so delicious specially the mix grill and the staff were so friendly

Best turkish food ive had for ages, service was fantastic,staff friendly, gr8 cocktails.

Service very good. Food ok. Will try other Turkish restaurants before deciding what's the best to me.
