My friend and I went there yesterday evening for is birthday. My friend had the Kefta Tagine and I had the hot Meze. Presentation was great and a fantastic variety for the Meze. For Dessert we both had the Baklawa. House Red was very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a very enjoyable time and it was excellent value for money. Very well worth a visit. We will definitely be going again.

The food was amazing, delicious and extremely flavourful, this ranks right up there as one of the best restaurants I have been to. As an American who was in the USAF, I have eaten in many countries, this place, Tavan was beautiful. I had the Kefta Tagine, and my wife had Pilici Shish, the Hummus, Feta salad, and Sucuk for starters, you really need to give this place a try

Another great dinner at Tavan. We had beyti kebab and lamb sac, both of dishes were delicious and full of flavour. We tried lamb sac for the first time and it surprised us of how tasty it was. Staff members are friendly and very presentable. They also have new restrooms which are great. The flowery wall is good addition to environment as it looks modern as well as Turkish vibe. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Frosty reception, empty restaurant and hurried to leave whilst being stared at during dinner to try and force us to leave as felt like staff just wanted to go home.

Tavan is absolutely phenomenal! The food here is nothing short of perfect; between two of us we shared three starters and two mains, each as good as the last. We honestly could fault it. I normally steer clear of stew-like dishes as the meat can often be poorly cooked, but not here - it was melt in the mouth perfection! And, if that all wasn’t enough, the staff are delightful - so friendly and accommodating. Thank you guys! 10/10!

The food was amazing. Best vegetarian dish I’ve had in a long time. I couldn’t eat it all! Husband had mixed chicken and Lamb shish, which he devoured. Staff were fabulous. If it wasn't for the overpriced wine (Yellowtail Pinot, which we’ve bought for £6-£8, we were charged £19.85) we would’ve given a 5* review. Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed.

I expected some much more. The starters were good and we enjoyed them. However the main courses were terrible, 4 of 6 were burnt black, so much so you could not taste the meat only ash. Is this how turkish people eat meat l don't think so. Does the Chef know how to turn the grill flames down. Ive heard of flame grilled but once food is cooked dont turn it into cinders. One person had a burger and opened it up the meat was black and so was the burger bun. Disgraceful. Even the turkish bread was burnt. Did the chef have the night off and a cleaner was cooking the food. Will never go again.
