Laz @Camden - (Near Camden, South East)

4 /5 Roger Isaac: We went on a Friday night , found a parking space nearby. There are a few steps to get in. There did not seem to be any way for a wheelchair to get in. We were seated at the rear of the restaurant which seemed to be the main area. The tables were a bit close together, but there was enough space to pass through. The menu had a good choice to choose from. The service was good bearing in mind how busy it was, The food was good as well as the portion size. You were not given excessive amounts of salad or over loaded with bread. The live Turkish music was audible without you having to shout to have a conversation. The toilets were at the rear and up 3 steps. If you stay long enough, it becomes a much move lively place.People joined in with the singi g and.started to dance to the live music which made it a much more enjoyable evening. The only real downside to the night was that you get an entertainment charge added to your bill. Which we did not expect. This added £10 per head to the total bill.on top of the service charge

5 /5 Amir Navazani: A Hidden Gem in North London! We had an amazing experience at this Turkish restaurant on Friday! The atmosphere was warm and lively, with happy people and fantastic live music blending traditional and modern Turkish tunes. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and the service was top-notch—polite, attentive, and welcoming. If you’re looking for great Turkish cuisine with a vibrant yet cozy vibe, this place is a must-visit!

2 /5 S K: We visited Laz in Camden and, at first, everything seemed lovely. The restaurant itself is small, warm, and very welcoming. The environment feels cosy and inviting, the mezes and sides were delicious, the drinks were great, and the live music was okay — it added a nice atmosphere to the evening. However, our experience was unfortunately spoiled by the service. The older waiter kept coming back and forth to our table, repeatedly trying to push us to order more food even though we already had plenty of mezes and sides. He told us that if we didn’t order mains, we would be charged £50 per person — something that wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the menu or by anyone else. In the end, they didn’t actually charge us that amount, so it was clearly false information used to pressure us into ordering more. This made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, and we decided to leave. It’s a shame, because the food and atmosphere were both really nice, but the service left a very negative impression.

4 /5 Phantom: Food The hot and cold mezze is brilliant; theres a real array of dishes to pick, choose and eat from, all served with lovely hot loafs. The drinks menu is extensive if youre an alcohol drinker, but for anyone whos non-alcoholic, the options are quite limited, which is a shame really. Also, no mocktails on offer. The main meal when it was served wasnt presented in the best manner; there was no salad to go with the meats or the fish, it was literally the main dish on a plate with either rice or bread - Ive been to restaurants and enjoyed their lunchtime specials and they presented the dishes in such simple but yet exquisite ways, so definitely some improvement here (if the owner is reading). Having said that, Ive never had such beautifully cooked lamb in such a long time (!) I didnt even had to ask how I wanted it cooked and it was done to perfection (medium rare), soft, tender and moist - brilliant. Service Service was very good, staff were attentive, helpful. Some of the staff werent very talkative, there wasnt any "small talk" if you get what Im trying to say, and I always think that helps to build the rapport and service between you (the customer) and waiter; it helps to break you into the atmosphere and build you into it. Atmosphere For a small little venue, theyve managed to really maximise on the space - its brilliant; very cosy and warm. Up front is room for live performances. The general decor is relaxed, almost bohemian/chic if you will - it works. Definitely worth visiting if youre in Camden Town...

5 /5 Teresa R: I love this place! It’s the first time I come here and I have to say it’s a bit different compared to other Turkish restaurants and also a bit expensive however worth every penny! The food was so delicious, the staff, the ambience there also was live music! We had such a beautiful evening I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try authentic Turkish experience in London and I am sure I will go back again!!!
