First time having Turkish food. Loved it…read more Kazan is a welcoming little restaurant with a delicious selection. Seriously, everything on the menu looks so good. The complimentary bread went so well with the baba ganoush, and the chicken in the Tavuk Izgara was probably the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life. Excellent service, and nice ambiance, but the food is a bit pricier than what I'm used to (to be expected in London).

We ordered the hummus to go with it, which had heavy notes of pine nut. Mix that all together - heavenly The Golden Horn is an amazing cocktail. At it's base is a typical tropical rum drink but then it's topped with black pepper for a Turkish flare The feta salad was packed with fresh veggies soaking in an amazing vinaigrette. It was the perfect size to split for 2 people Finally, for the entree I had the Adana chicken Kofta. It was subtly seasoned and grilled to retain its tenderness. The rice seemed like it would be boring white rice, but even that tasted great with it's own distinct flavor

Not cheap but it is Leicester Square, worth it.

Finally a non pretentious venue in Clapham that is affordable and authentic. I particularly rate the owners who have obviously taken a leap to make this venue different from the expected Turkish food stop off and are obviously working hard. Go & support a local business! I have been 3 times in the last fortnight the food is so fresh and delicious! As a heads up the Turkish dry white wine is also really good!

Unlike other Middle Eastern shawarma joints, where sandwiches are the go-to, Bosphorus serves up their meat and veggies simply in an aluminium box with a pita on the side, which is certainly less convenient for on-the-go eating, but nice perhaps if you wanted something lower carb. Unfortunately, I just wasn't a fan of the food. The shawarma meat itself was fine but unremarkable. The salad was rather plain, and the overall meal was a bit of a letdown, especially for a price above what other places would normally charge for a much tastier pita sandwich concoction. Overall not a fan. Also, they only take cash.

We ordered a starter that was a melted mozzarella with a nice savory dipping sauce. Next we ordered a very refreshing salad that had cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and a nice dressing. Then we finished our meal with a meat kabob dish which had probably some of the best tasting meats I've ever experienced. The chicken, lamb, and beef were so amazingly savory and perfectly seasoned and cooked. I have to say during our week in London, this was by far the best meal we had and we went to a few very nice and expensive restaurants including a Michelin star rated one. Definitely a place I highly recommend and will revisit the next time we go to London.
