Tavan in Peterborough

Love Morrocan food but this type of restaurant you can only see in London. Lovely charcoal grilled food and amazing flavours. My children are usually fussy eaters but they enjoyed it too

Tantalising Turkish Treat…. I was staying in the next door Pearl Hotel on a work trip and decided to try something new! The restaurant has a lovely vibe, great service and food was excellent. I had charcoal grilled sea bass with potatoes, vegetables and some fab salads too. Delicious meal … would highly recommend!

Outstanding Customer Service... Food was tasty and didn't take too long to be on a table!!. I'll certainly return again.

Great place, food, drinks, staff and music! Really recommend it...

Great place, Great people, great drink, great staff and atmophere..

Appetizer platter had several delicious options and was as filling as it was tasty. Entrees were very good too. Would definitely go back.

Delicious food with generous portions and all served on a sword! Delectable hot and cold mixed starters and great service. We asked for the bill, then changed our mind and stayed for pudding!!!

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. Appreciate that we may have entered the restaurant towards the end of service however I wouldn’t expect to be treated like we were not wanted paying guests of the restaurant.

Amazing place, amazing food! Visited this restaurant for a birthday celebration and were absolutely delighted with the quality of food (and portion size!), so chose its takeaway for a recent garden party. Much much better than finger food or even catering. Were also able to agree delivery and some flexibility in timing. 5 stars in all kinds!

Another first class meal with friends here for a mix of vegetarians and omnivores. Great flavours, a friendly, warm welcome and excellent service

This restaurant is real find. Great tasting lunch made with good quality ingredients. Even the pitta bread was made in the restaurant. An extensive menu and generous portions and reasonable prices. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere with plenty of space and enough soft furnishings to make the acoustics pleasant - which I hope they’ll take note of when its refurbed early next year! Good amount of parking. If we lived nearer, this would be a regular restaurant for us.

Very good food. Meat was quite tender. I had the mixed hot mezze and the mixed meat plate which came with a coleslaw, salad and two types of rice. Very filling indeed.

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!

Ordered for pickup, the hot mixed meze is amazing. They let me make a substitution (replacing the falafel with another dish) free of charge. Good prices and lovely staff.

A pint of lime and soda is £5. I could not afford to eat here.

El hotel subcontrata el restaurante a otra empresa. El restaurante Tavan en el hotel Pearl en Lincoln Road en Peterborough cobra £ 5 por una pinta de lima y refresco. Nada está escrito y es un hecho consumado, una vez hecha la bebida. Pero era un día caluroso y era una bebida refrescante. Gracias.

Seriously tasty! Had the meat platter and omg it was so good, and amazing value. And enormous! It was a bit quiet and deserves to be much busier but maybe that’s just Monday evening. Oh and the Efes beer was a perfect match.

I went at Tavan many times I tried most of their food items. All are good and specially dessert items are mouthwatering.

Quiet day in the restaurant, food was spot on. This is the second time at this place with the same dishes. And on point again.

First time try Turkish food. Was absolutely delicious. Service and friendliness of staff was faultless.👍🏻

Really nice food cool atmosphere

We are staying in the hotel next door and the smell coming from the restaurant was so good we decided to have our evening meal here. Thank goodness we did. The service was fab. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was outstanding. One if the best meals we have had out in a long while and we will definitely visit again when in the area.

Food was OKAY but the service from staff was really appreciated.

This place is great; very authentic Turkish food, of the highest quantity. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portions very generous.

Great food and great service. We had the hot and cold meze for a starter and then Kuzu Guvec and Chicken Sac with Baklawa to finish shared between us. The food was really good but we couldn't finish the main as we were too full. Would recommend and if we are in the area again we would go back.

Normal for this type of restaurant

Lovely place! We ordered the vegetable couscous entrée and baklava, which was plenty for two people and delicious.

Food was delicious. Service was good. It lacked in the atmosphere, but it was early mid week.

OMG, this restaurant is amazing, and I’ve been to a few! Service - very good, Food - great, Ambience - nice, and overall it’s a yes from me.

Had a delicious meal while visiting the area. The food was delicious, service was excellent and a great atmosphere. We had a mixed maze starter and meat platter - far too much food but every mouthful was delicious. Will definitely eat here again when we return to the area.

Went here yesterday for the fisrt time was'nt disappointed the service was very efficient food was delivered very quickly we both had a starter my husband had hummus while i opted for garlic prawns followed by vegetarian moussaka while i had a lamb shish the food looked amazing when it came its a generous portion size so maybe i should'nt have had a starter but the standard and quality of the food was so good i actually managed to eat it all if you haven't tried this place you don't know what you are missing its a hidden gem

Tried the lamb shops ( delicious). Had a wonderful glass of the house. I just thought the cake that I had wasn't exactly my cup of tea. It was well presented but I didn't think it as delicious as the rest. I recommend this restaurant. It has a nice car park the people are nice and professional.

Adjacent to The Pearl Hotel with an interconnecting door. A Turkish-Moroccan restaurant. We had the chicken and lamb kebab with roasted vegetables salad and chips. One of the best meals out we have had for some time now. Great service from helpful and friendly staff. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

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.

Chicken was slightly over charred and the beef was extremely chewy. Apart from that the rice was good and atmosphere and service was good

Excellent establishment with great service and excellent cuisine!!!! Thank you very much!!! I recommend!!!

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.

Starters good we enjoyed them. Main courses 4 of the 6 were burnt. Did the Chef have the night off ? Does he know that you can turn the heat down . There is flame grilled and there is burnt to a cinder. I could not identify what my meat was chicken or lamb, l could only taste ash.

Absolutely one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The food is amazing. Plenty of vegetarian options. Service impeccable.

This is 3nd time we been here for birthday celebration, its absolutely fab, lovely food, nice & clean. Staff are very helpful, will def be back.

Visited as a large group and was really impressed with the food! Really tasty dishes and no complaints around the table. Fire cooked meat is always a winner and the mixed platter I had was all excellent!

4 adults 3 courses and drinks for £100. Food was great, we had platters and tapas/meze style meal with plenty of food for us all. 2nd time we have visited and great food again. Would recommend over any other Turkish restaurant in the area.

Stunning food. Amazing friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Really nice food was really good but the waiter got our drinks wrong few times

Only there a short while but very friendly, Madri is a lovely pint and the spicy chips are whooooo, a nice little place well worth a visit.

First time here for the wife and I but will definitely be back. The food was amazing as was the service and price. A great find in peterborough. Thank you.

Lovely place and people, will definitely go there again

Early evening so very quiet, service good and the best lamb ever apparently according to OH. Really good food so we will be back soon!

Superb. There was 8 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The service was top notch too.

Impressive lamb (Adana kofte) and chicken (pilici shish) dishes! Meat was succulent, all the flavours and spices worked really well together and it was quite big portions, very happy to find this place! Went there for lunch midday and there was a good amount of parking spaces for the restaurant and hotel guests as well, very convenient spot. Staff was very quick and friendly, would recommend for a very enjoyable full Moroccan meal 😁

Fantastic service, food and evening. This is the first time I have been out and not had anything bad to say! Would definitely highly recommend!

Amazing Turkish food! Delicious lamb and chicken shish, shared starter was superb. The service was attentive and food came quickly. Great cocktails. We were very full after all the food and will be coming again

Love this restaurant! In my view, the best in every respect!

Excellent food as always and very reasonable price wise.

Nice looking interior , fairly large menu. Female server a bit abrupt and appeared bored. Food was served promptly. Nothing very exciting about the food some of it was overcooked and abit dry, not a great dealof flavour as one might expect from this quisine.

Amazing food and great atmosphere

Been to this restaurant now a good handful of times and never been disappointed, great service and excellent food, the decor in there is very well done, it's cosy and staff very friendly. Update:::: another great visit last night, food was amazing, very tasty and hot , staff as always very helpful and attentive to us all...

What a superb place, good food, many vegan options on main menu and fab service.

Fabulous place to Dine for family Celebrations, great food and great staff !!we will definitely be coming back very soon !!!

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 👍🏻

Environment and food was amazing.

Absolutely love the food and the staff is so nice ! Went couple of times with my other half and would definitely come back 😍

I don't recommend anyone to go to this restaurant , I got stomach ache after visiting this restaurant, nothing was fresh very disappointed.

If you like that type of food then try it out

Tasty food, friendly staff. Was very quiet on the night I visited, but the big bay window seats are lovely.

One of the best Restaurant in Peterborough. The decor is beautiful and warm. The staff are very hospitable and very friendly. Outstanding service with delicious food. Had a lovely evening with hubby.. Would recommend 10/10

On a recent business trip, I visited here with my family. I can honestly say, it was one of the best meals I have ever had. If this restaurant was local to me, I would be visiting it all the time. Yum yum yummmmm

Very clean, friendly staff, fantastic food, and the rooms were absolutely amazin and clean room service and cleaned every day, shame there isnt 10 starts as thats what they deserve, defo comin bk with the rest of the family

We shouldn't have waited so long to eat at the Tavan again. It was very good. I had the Chicken tagine. The plate looked small. It wasn't! Got some homemade chilli and garlic sauce as well. It was delicious and I didn't think I could finish it all..... but I did. Things were getting a bit tight round middle admittedly but I just couldn't leave even a mouthful. Her Indoors had the Lamb shish and couldn't finish it all. (No determination!) My granddaughter had the beef burger and declared it very good. We will definitely go again. Loved it!

Good Halal food and bar. Onsite parking

Wow absolutely beautiful food backed up by the young waiters confidence in their food, presented nice great flavour huge portions, round my way this food would cost twice the price, cheap prices here, highly recommend, Take this as a HUGE warning DO NOT stay at the hotel attached. endless reasons! The restaurant would be better off away from this hotel.

Amazing food, great service, will come again!

Food is to die for. Would 100% return if we are ever in Peterborough again. Really good value for money and exceptional service

Amazing food, service with a smile and for a very reasonable price

Great food and service, meal portions was really good too

Overall, pretty good food, service and environment. We enjoyed dinner. Chicken was very moist, lamb was tender, and kebob were not spicy but overcooked a little.

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

Absolutely superb food and service

beautiful food in a lovely setting always guarantee a great meal at Tavan.... portions are so generous... always have plenty to take home for the next says lunch! Friendly & welcoming

A superb meal to finish off our anniversary weekend. The food was delicious. Well prepared and beautifully presented. The service by Ahmad was first class and made the evening very enjoyable

Beautiful restaurant, excellent tasty food, I highly recommend the meat platter, fresh, succulent & flavourful. Top chef. Staff are very welcoming & hard working. Free parking. Best restaurant I've been to in peterborough.

We had an early booking for a birthday as we had 3 young kids. We were 7 adults. The food was plentiful, filling and very tasty. However, the service was awful. There was hardly anyone else in the restaurant, but it still took over 10 minutes before we were asked if we would like a drink and it was a further 18 minutes before the drinks arrived. We had to chase the waiter to take our food order. Two other tables, who arrived after us were served before us. When the food did finally arrive it was 1 person at a time, the first order was also wrong. In all it took over 10 minutes for all the food to be served and, to top it all, the rice was cold.

I chose it for my 60th family meal ahead of a party at PostcOffice Club. My auntie, an OBE, had a lovely time. Chad has a pic of us I think.

Amazing food and atmosphere. The portions were huge and everything was delicious.

Just had the amazing meal at Tavan, quality of food first class, service,very friendly and helpful even checked to see if my lamb was cooked to my liking, would definitely recommend this restaurant

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.

Delicious dinner very generous portions Very tasty would recommend Egyptian waiter very funny and welcoming the other waiter in a hurry to go home Very good

Lovely place. Good food. Decent coffee

The food was fantastic, the service was very good, all staff very friendly, a must go to place. Will certainly be returning to try more of the menu.

Fantastic meal with friends to celebrate my 50th birthday, great service, delicious food would recommend and we will be back again.

The decoration is a bit dated, needs a refresh, the table was a bit dirty and something spilled on the chairs. Service very nice. Food very good.

Wonderful, devine, scrumptious. Thank you for a wonderful delicious meal . We will be back ;-)

We had the Yavash special for 4 people, it was amazing, so delish, plenty of food to go round with spare. Service was excellent.

great service, nice to see they had Peroni zero . food was lovely just shame with the platters you were unable to swop out what we did not care for to something we loved ..otherwise would have been 5* ..wish I had an image for the meat platter !

This is the best restaurant both with service surroundings and the food is out if this world. The best near I have ever eaten we will most certainly be coming here more often. Thank you for a fabulous meal

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food.

I went only once, on Valentines Day. Me and my partner had a good time, good service and great tasting food. Will definitely come back

5 of us went for lunch, we shared 1 hot and one cold meze for starters and all had different mains. Wonderful service, delicious food and we all left with very full, happy tummies 😊 Would definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family

Our first time at Tavan, and very happy with everything. Great food, service and atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant, amazing food, lovely staff. Can’t ask for more!! Best mousaka I have ever had.
