Tavan Restaurant in Peterborough

Visited Tavan with husband and 4 friends for lunch on a wet, cold Saturday. It was empty apart from us (a couple came in later) but we received a warm, smiling welcome and drinks were ordered and delivered quickly.

Beautiful decor, clean ,very tasty food , from starters to deserts. i definitely have to go back to try the rest of the menu! Thank you...

A wonderful evening spent here with lovely friends. The food was delicious, starter meze would cater for all tastes. Highly recommend the lamb chops - just melt. Service first class. Can t recommend highly enough.....

I worked in Belgium and went there for a family visit. My colleague recommend me this TAVAN restaurant and I would say its worth every penny. Fresh food and quality service. They also have Christmas menu which I will try next week. One more thing is important is there interior decoration. Loved it.

Great food, welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere. The portions far outway the price with a varied and decent selection. Would recommend and come here again....

The surroundings and atmosphere were really good. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the service was great. Most importantly...the food was excellent. Will definitely be going back soon...

Visited this evening for a work gathering had a fantastic meal with amazing company. Service was 10/10 and good was definitely superb. This restaurant is recommended for many different occasions whether it be family or business. Thanks guys for a great night

What a amazing night! Its been a long while since Ive experienced anything like the incredible authentic food that Tavan delivers. The ambience of the restaurant and the phenomenal food makes this place a destination not to be missed.....

8 of us had the vip area. Food Fantastic, atmosphere great and the whole visit was so enjoyable I cannot recommend enough. Thanks to Tavan......

Stayed in hotel next door + almost never eat on site. However, you would be foolish not to eat here if you are in Peterborough. Shocked by lack of independent eateries on offer. This was good food, good quality + good portions. Great for vegetarians; the meze was lovely! I want to eat there for breakfast!

While staying at the attached hotel I decided to eat here, the staff were very welcoming and helpful, the portion sizes were ample, the food was really nice and well presented. The service was excellent and the prices very reasonable, plenty of choice on the menu.

First time ive been here yesterday. A real nice & ambient place to eat. Friendly staff and the Food was amazing. Recommend to anyone visiting the city

Thank you to all the staff at Tavan for a fabulous evening. You really pulled out the stops for Sally s Birthday. Delicious food and great hospitality. Always brilliant. Thanks again it was awesome

The food was very good indeed and the portions are generous. We enjoyed the decor and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. Will certainly be going back.

We ordered food online using the recommended website in their Google profile, payment was taken. Went to the restaurant to collect to find they dont use that service anymore and the payment would be returned in 2 hours. Almost 2 weeks later and the payment hasnt been refunded. We ordered food to take away in the restaurant and waited 20 mins. Whilst I was ordering in the restaurant I saw a rat run across the restaurant floor and under a table where guests were seated. The food was tasty as always but we wont be eating there again.

Beautiful food and service was great. Would go back.

Wanted to take my wife somewhere special for her birthday,from arriving to leaving the dining experience was absolutely fantastic,will definitely be visiting again...

The place was outstanding especially the food and had really kind staff. The inside was amazing, it definitely reminded me of when I went to Turkey last year. I would give this place 10/10 and would recommend coming back.

Could not fault the service in this place.Very happy friendly staff attention to service was great.Making sure the customer came first which is lacking in alot of places nowadays.NICE TO SEE.Food was great would definatly go here again and would recommend to anyone.Thanks again.

Tavan continues to offer excellent service and great meals in a friendly atmosphere. The food is exceptional and waiters always happy to be of service without being pushy.

Amazing food, outstanding service, great atmosphere- definitely worth the visit! Better to book as the place is quiet busy.

Our second visit ,fantastic food ,beautiful decor and amazing staff,would recommend for any occasion .we will be back next month.

Very warm and friendly place and helpful in choosing what youd like. Warm and welcoming with soft lighting

The restaurant has a beautifully designed interior, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that transports diners to another place.

Tavan Restaurant boasts a diverse menu, accommodating a range of dietary preferences and offering something for everyone.

With generous portions and reasonable prices, the restaurant offers excellent value, attracting both regulars and new guests alike....

The dishes are not only delicious but are presented artfully, enhancing the overall dining experience.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

We took our girls out, had the hot and cold mezze for 2 between the 4 of us, and had chicken shish, lamb shish, lamb chops and chicken sec (a sizzling dish, topped with cheese). All so delicious. The girls really love the rice, and the laces of flatbread under the mezze.

Dont order food online using the recommended site, orderyoyo, as the restaurant dont use it and its the wrong one...they will take payment but the order wont go through..we still havent had our money back, theyve been informed about this but they havent changed their details yet! Parking: Plenty of space

Really great restaurant. The food was amazing and the staff were friendly. Relaxing atmosphere mid week. Nice and light dining area.

Fabulous authentic food tasted amazing and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend and will be back soon!

Had a lovely evening meal with the husband for his birthday! Lovely meal out and food was lovely!

Wow, absolutely gorgeous food! So tasty , will be back..

Good food plus service which is great and cosy...

Such amazing food & service will definitely be returning xx

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

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

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

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

I am a regulular at the boutique hotel next door. From the opening of the restaurant I am really impressed by the quality of the food and the service. Amazing charcoal food, fresh salad and rice. The best of all it is healthy too. Anytime i stay at the Pearl i eat here. Highly recommended!

Great food, welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere. The portions far outway the price with a varied and decent selection. Would recommend and come here again.

It was nice there on Monday. Usually a quiet day. Smooth service, neat, friendly. Good food, in quality, large portions. Tasty!

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

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!

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.

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!

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. Food : 4/5

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.

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

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.

So nice!

Normal for this type of restaurant

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

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

Really nice food cool atmosphere

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

Tried the lamb shops ( delicious). Had a wonderful glass of the house. I just thought the cake that I had wasnt exactly my cup of tea. It was well presented but I didnt think it as delicious as the rest. I recommend this restaurant. It has a nice car park the people are nice and professional.

Went here yesterday for the fisrt time wasnt 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 shouldnt have had a starter but the standard and quality of the food was so good i actually managed to eat it all if you havent tried this place you dont know what you are missing its a hidden gem

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

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

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

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

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 wasnt 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. Vegetarian options: Mixed vegetarian dish falafel, hummus, rice, dolmades, halloumi, couscous, pitta, wrap, red onion and cabbage coleslaw homemade coleslaw type sides. Yummy! Obviously, there are plenty of meat dishes there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes to choose from too. Parking: Parking lot with plenty of spaces, if not then parking in the main street is available too.

Lovely food with good service

Amazing place !!!

Absolutely one of the best restaurants Ive ever been to. The food is amazing. Plenty of vegetarian options. Service impeccable. Vegetarian options: So many options.

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 dont 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.

Lovely place and people, will definitely go there again Parking: Could do with more spaces Food : 5/5 |

Great food. will be returning.

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. Food : 5/5 |

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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!

Excellent service, all the food presented very well and were delicious. Attended with work colleagues. Will come back with family soon !!

Quite good in comparison to what is about. I would say food could be better as it seems to be a fusion of being authentic and being cheap/trendy..

Fantastic service, atmosphere and the food was delicious! Highly recommended

Very delicious food..highly recommended

Great variety of Moroccan and Turkish food in the lovely pleasant atmosphere with professional and friendly staff... I recommend Parking: You easily get free road parking if the parking slots are full

Below average quality and taste to someone who knows what turkish food looks like..even Tea is disappointing

Fantastic authentic food and a great atmosphere, never fail to impress. Cheers guys

Friendly staff, lovely decor, amazing food, decent size portions for the price. Staff were very informative about the menu and giving suggestions on what to try If youre going to Peterborough for an overnight, book the hotel next door and get your meal here.

Excellent portions and very good Parking: Parking is difficult at busy times Kid-friendliness: Children very welcome

Lovely restaurant, amazing food, lovely staff. Can t ask for more!! Best mousaka I have ever had. Vegetarian options: We are both vegan and they changed up the menu to give us a hot sharing platter. Parking: Lots of room for off road parking at the front and side

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

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 Dietary restrictions: Staff very knowledgeable on dietary requirements and knew what was each dish

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 Vegetarian options: they had vegetarian dishes Parking: not many spots but it is closed parking, more parking on the street

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food.

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 !

BEST IN PETERBOROUGH.

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

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

Wonderful, devine, scrumptious. Thank you for a wonderful delicious meal . We will be back ;-) Vegetarian options: Seems to have a wonderful varieties of good tasty vegetarian dishes . Parking: I am disabled and we were near the door at lunch time . I have no idea about evening parking .

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. Food

Fantastic meal with friends to celebrate my 50th birthday, great service, delicious food would recommend and we will be back again. Vegetarian options: Lovely dishes for vegetarians and options for vegans. Parking: Parking onsite.

Lovely place. Good food. Decent coffee

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

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

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. Vegetarian options: Good choice . Difficult for fasting staff.

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 Ive been to in peterborough.

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 Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options. Parking: usually places available to park. Side is very narrow with spaces and there is also on road parking

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

Absolutely superb food and service

Delicious as always Vegetarian options: Vegetable tagine with halloumi is very very good Food : 5/5 |

Good customer service

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.

Great food and service, meal portions was really good too

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

Amazing food, great service, will come again!

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.

Good Halal food and bar. Onsite parking Food

We shouldnt have waited so long to eat at the Tavan again. It was very good. I had the Chicken tagine. The plate looked small. It wasnt! Got some homemade chilli and garlic sauce as well. It was delicious and I didnt think I could finish it all..... but I did. Things were getting a bit tight round middle admittedly but I just couldnt leave even a mouthful. Her Indoors had the Lamb shish and couldnt finish it all. (No determination!) My granddaughter had the beef burger and declared it very good. We will definitely go again. Loved it!

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

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

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

Very good food!

If you like that type of food then try it out

I dont recommend anyone to go to this restaurant , I got stomach ache after visiting this restaurant, nothing was fresh very disappointed.

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

Environment and food was amazing.

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

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, its 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...

Amazing food and great atmosphere Vegetarian options: Vegetarian plate has a large variety of tasty foods, very filling and delicious Food : 5/5 |

Excellent food as always and very reasonable price wise.

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

good food, but the restaurant was slightly chilly

Great food at generous portions. Friendly staff. Usually not too crowded so its good for big groups!

Just had a delightful chicken tagine at Tavan. Nice atmosphere and decor. I can definitely recommend this place.

Lovely food ,nice service,will go again

If you want an authentic eating experience then would highly recommend this restaurant. Had a lovely evening with good food drink.

Staff absolutely fabulous, food was for the price great value,nice atmosphere, cozy.......highly recommended.

Very Good Food specially the whole hummus platter.

Large portions. Lots of meat! Great taste. The mixed meze and main was enough so go hungry.

Exellent we was today with my husband food is delicious and lovely restaurant thank you,definitely we be back

Good service, clean, comfortable food very tasty, every time we have been, even for lunch. I cant remember names of dishes unfortunately. I will try to find photos.

Fantastic food and service wow.

Lovely place. Good food

Staff was superb and food was excellent, would come back definitely

Excellent experience, i ordered lamb chops and they arrived cooked beautifully tender and perfectly seasoned, with so many side elements i couldnt see the plate giving a huge array of tastes and textures to enjoy.

Surprisingly delicious dinner!

Restaurant Tavan was a fantastic experience for us. The food was delicious and the portions really big. We were looked after by professionals who made us feel very welcome. The environment is cosy. A unique place to visit.

Amazing food and great service, will definitely go again

We had a works leaving party for 25 people, the food was fabulous, staff were, efficient, polite, and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Tavan Restaurant

The best lamb chops Ive had for ages

Gorgeous decor, fabulous food and fantastic service!!

Terrible place, food subpar. Only catered for regulars. Left over an hour with just empty starter plates on the table. Toilets youd expect to be cleaned which they wasnt just flooded

Calm and cozy. The dinner was delicious, the service is at the level.

Good price! Wonderful food! I recommend!

Amazing authentic food! Will be coming back!

Absolutely excellent, a little bit out of the way so probably doesn t get the footfall it should. Highly recommend any of the mixed starters especially

Great restaurant attached to a local boutique hotel. Amazing food and friendly staff

Mixed shared starter was good. My kebab was good but my husbands tagine was well below par with lots of shredded pita on top to mask the thin gravy, toms n kebab lamb, obvs not cooked in a conventional tagine pot. When we commented told thats how it is! N never the word sorry hmm Wine n beer was really good.

Nice decor, really good service ,chatty and attentive. Food is lovely but beware of ordering too much, the portions are huge!

If I had seen a photographic menu I would never have ordered the tagine, When it arrived it was obvious that this was not slow-cooked, but thrown together on the BBQ and it was piled up with shredded pita which I couldnt eat. I didnt complain but when the waiter asked if everything was good I did say I was unhappy with the tagine and the pile of pita,, but rather than saying he was sorry all he said, in a very offhand way, thats the traditional way the rest of the .meal was ok but I have had better and the waiters attitude left a bad taste. We will not go back

Generally not great. Grilled chicken is very well season and cooked, but a lot of flavours and dishes arent authentic. Baba ganoush is made with yoghurt. Tagine is just a watery tomato sauce with veg cooked separately. When you try to speak to the staff about it, they just respond that this is how they cook it and dont appear to be even remotely interested in your feedback.

Lovely staff, very clean environment and nice ambience. Looking forward to going again as food was excellent 3rd visit since April!

Lovely restaurant with a tasty selection of foods. Very well priced and quite busy. Friendly staff too.

Good was very good!

Top place, great food, great drinks, great service!

Lovely evening at the restaurant with friends. Went on a Thursday and there werent many customers. Seated and served quickly. The food was so good! Very reasonably priced. Will return. Parking: Plentiful parking

Very nice meal and good atmosphere, will go back again

Hadnt been here before as always went to Turkish kitchen, booked a table for 4, 1st impressions was what a nice place everything was good, meal was good and plenty on the plate, BUT a small bottle off Effes at £5.50 was over the top, 1 round of drinks was £22.. Will go again cause the food was good but will have water with meal.. Parking: Parking is restricted as people were parking and heading in to town...

The food ,the envoirment and especially the people just treated us as family Tbh It was an memorable experience 5 stars given in all bars

Cold, tasteless food. Avoid at all costs.

Nothing special. Just a usual Turkish Kebab restaurant but with confused decor (think hotel reception with decorations from places not limited to Turkey or Morocco). Presentation of dishes was nice but the Moroccan tagine dish is simply their usual Turkish kebab covered in their bland tomato sauce. That same sauce is served with the mixed grill. Couscous for tagine was the same grains served with the kebab. Go elsewhere (not sure where in Peterborough) if you want a proper tagine.

Very nice atmosphere. Food excellent. We had sharing dish for 2 to start between 3 of us. So much, I had to take my main course home as I was full up!!

We are regular customers from years and the food is always delicious even if we re in or take away,super fast delivery and absolutely amazing customer service ! Manager and staff 6 stars +

Lovely food, very good service.
