Solid Turkish fare with generous portions
Kervan Kitchen in Gidea Park is one of those suburban Turkish spots that punches above its weight. Located just off Balgores Lane, it's a reliable place for a hearty meal without the pretension you'd find in central London. The menu covers all the classics—kebabs, mezze, grilled meats—but the lamb ribs are the real draw here. They're tender, well-seasoned, and come with a side of generous portions that'll leave you satisfied.
The atmosphere is warm and unassuming, with clean tables and a family-friendly vibe that makes it perfect for a relaxed dinner. Service is friendly and efficient, though you might experience a slight delay during peak hours. The cocktails are a nice touch, offering a bit of flair to an otherwise straightforward dining experience. While some reviews mention minor hiccups with orders, the overall quality and value make it a worthwhile visit for anyone in the area looking for authentic Turkish flavors.
