I look back where Safestay's location is . . . 3/4ths of a block away=Cool! I enter the restaurant~Heavenly, wafting aroma of roasted lamb . . . like Meg Ryan exclaiming, "Yes, yes, yes!!!!!" I quickly order the lamb chops with a Greek salad, grab a Coke from the cool Chefs, and wait for my dinner. BINGO~The lamb chops were rocking-so savory and tender; the salad had this hauntingly delicious sauce on it-I don't know what sauce is on it but, I'm inhaling everything! "Yes, yes, yes!!!!!" I pay for my dinner=£10.00 but, Chef insisted the Coke was on the house: Thank you so very much, Chef for making me the most AWESOME, FABULOUSLY DELICIOUS lamb chop dinner! I will return!

We tried various pide's - the kids and missus enjoyed these and described them as a cross between a pizza and a calzone! I enjoyed their dips (I can live on hummus and eggplant dip) and also a couple of their köfte's - my favorite was the lamb. Would happily visit for dine-in next time.

Highly recommend!

The restaurant is basically located in a converted railway tunnel which adds to the charm. I selected the lunch menu. Despite the items being extrmely hard to pronounce I managed to order a starter and a main. The starter was a calamari rings in batter with a sweet chilli dressing followed by an adequate main of 4 chicken patties with bulgerwheat and salad. Very tasty, good portion and quality. This is definitely one to try again. The lamb shank looked good from what others ordered and I'll be trying that.

It's self-service with all mezze dishes on display behind a massive glass counter. I can't remember exactly how much they charged for a selection of four salad items, but the portions were very generous and good value. Mind you I wasn't as impressed as I have been at TAS proper (they belong to the same group). The tzatziki and grilled aubergines were rather bland. I was impressed by the freshness of the parsley salad though and felt I was eating healthy food. EV is located under some railway arches and has the ambience of a generic self-service buffet restaurant - the type you get at National Trust properties. It somewhat lacks in atmosphere, even though the turquoise chandeliers add a touch of class. In summary: more of a quick lunch fix than a destination for a good night out.

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).

I started with warm hummus with pastrami and Anatolia sausage. I love hummus and this was quite good and the meat was a nice touch. What really stood out, though, was a mixed kabob combo.

Not cheap but it is Leicester Square, worth it.

We had much better food just across the street at Mosaic, a Morrocccan restaurant, with much better service, more generous helpings and a far more personal touch. The meat here was okay but nothing special. The chips served under my shawarma seemed to have been made from reconstituted potatoes rather than the "real thing". Salad was fresh but very boring. Have had better food of the same type in Central London for less.
