Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the big portions of grilled meat, with lamb chops, chicken wings and a mixed kebab named as cooked well and full of flavour, served with fresh salad. Close behind are the cocktails, called fabulous and exceptional, and a seabass described as tasty and beautifully presented. Several say the portions are generous and good value, and the staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming. Some describe the room as inviting and spacious, and one calls the place spotless. Two reviewers mention waiters singing Happy Birthday to a diner. The complaints are few but specific. One reviewer found the staff never smiled and the lamb tough, and another described a slightly sour waiter who was later replaced by a polite colleague. That same diner had the lahmacun arrive and finish before the meats came out. One reviewer found the crayfish with avocado carried too much sauce. One group noted the waiters sang Happy Birthday for a wife's celebration.

“I called in today and booked a table for 8-10 people. The gentleman who placed my reservation was polite and efficient, he also greeted us on arrival to the restaurant and was extremely friendly throughout our dining experience. We had a lady who served our table and she was excellent, sorry I didn't get her name. The food was fantastic, good portion sizes and tasty. The atmosphere and vibes in the restaurant were also excellent. I would definitely recommend this place, I look forward to visiting again 😊”

“We had an amazing experience at Kervan Kitchen in Gidea Park! We are regular fans of Gokyuzu in Chingford and were actually on our way there when we spotted Kervan Kitchen. We hadn’t planned to stop for dinner, but decided to give it a try—and we’re so glad we did! The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavour, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous, and everything we ordered was delicious. As it was a Sunday, we didn’t realise that food service finished at 10:00 pm, but the staff still looked after us well, and we had a really enjoyable meal without feeling rushed. We’re very happy we discovered this place by chance. We’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Kervan Kitchen to anyone looking for great Turkish food.”

“Shocking staff, do they ever smile ? Er no they dont, its like they’re doing you a favour, even though your spending your money 🤔never again for me im afraid, utterly shocked by there attitude, tough lamb as well, even the dog struggled to eat it when i took it home. Oh well looks like this place is off my list for good. If the staff dont like communication with customers, then leave and work somewhere else, your killing the business…”

“My friend and I, visited this establishment on a Sunday right after it opening (12:00-22:00) and were greeted by a smiley and polite host/barman and served by another waiter with a slightly sour disposition. His frown and over all indifferent demeanor was the only reason I knocked the stars down for service and atmosphere. He was replaced by a lady waitress towards the end of our dining experience (perhaps he went on a lunch break) and I’m happy to report that his replacement was very polite and helpful throughout. We ordered lamb chops and chicken wings, lahmacun with a side of chunky fries for my son. The chops and wings were grilled and absolutely delightfully spiced and juicy. We were served a basket of warm bread, Turkish garlic/yoghurt dip and a slightly spicy/pepper dip to go along with the bread which we happily indulged in, till the lahmacun was served. Only after finishing the lahmacun were we served our meats, which may have perhaps been nice inside of a lahmacun wrap? But perhaps we could have specified that we would like the lahmacun at the same time as the meats. The lamb chops and chicken wings came served on platters with sweet balsamic salad with onions, tomatoes and cucumber, as well as shaved carrot, cabbage and gherkins. Delightfully crunchy and fresh alongside the flavorsome meats. I’ve visited this establishment before and found the quality of their foods is consistently top notch and left me craving another visit soon. This restaurant is definitely worth visiting for a date or perhaps a special event with a larger group as it boasts an over all flair of elegance what with the mirrored wall decor, patterned floors and well dressed waiters and not to forget their fresh and delicious food.”

“Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. The cocktails are exceptional, and Bud is one of the most talented bartenders I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. His creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail make every drink a memorable experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, amazing cocktails, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere .We’ll be definitely coming back.”
