Nicest Restaurant in McLean
Delicious food, great hosts and terrific ambience. Try the mixed grill. You'll see a lot of Turks there, which I always consider a good sign. The owners are some of the friendliest people in the world.    [31 Jul 2003 17:31:22]

Not Very Good
Uncle Ben rice. Same specials everytime I go there. Dirty looking waiters with dirty clothing. Awful wine selection. Needs to work on a totally new menu. Not worth the money. I would much rather go to other Turkish places like Cafe Divan and Nizam's.    [25 Dec 2003 21:46:31]

Shabby Treatment--Mediocre Establishment
Reserved table for 2 for Easter Sunday dinner at 3pm. Arrived on time & were shown a cramped table in the smaller side room near waiter's station even though only about 65% of tables were occupied at that hour. Asked for a less confined table and the hostess directed us to a more desirable one two tables away and so we sat down. The owner comes rushing over and asks us to move to another (less desirable) table, with no explanation, in the main room. So we get up, gather our belongings and go off to sit at the 3rd table. This was NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE and a rude way to greet patrons particularly on a holiday. We did not complain, but we should have. The waiter fawned all over the regular patrons and it was difficult to get good service. We tried to make the most of it after this mistreatment, but the food was not particularly good, bland for Turkish food, and the ambiance and decor were very unattractive and cold. The waiter was average when you could get his attention. The merlot wine by the glass was mediocre. By the way, while we were there, only two more groups showed up, so the table shuffling seemed to be some sort of passive-aggressive move on the owner's part. Also, he sat by the front door at a table eating his own dinner at a very messy table and reading the paper even though he had a hostess who could greet patrons--never have I seen such behaviour on the part of an owner before--he should have been at the back out of sight eating and reading or up front attending to his guests, one or the other. We would not bother to [return].    [13 Apr 2004 08:42:28]

Excellent in every respect. The food was delicious, and the wait service was the best. Beautiful decor, too. We can't wait to return; it's well worth the drive over.    [01 May 2004 14:14:45]

Poor value
This is not what you get in Turkey. Why not have olive oil and balsamic rather than butter with pita bread. If you serve salads on a warm night don't leave it in the heat before serving - at least spray some water over it. Calamari dried out. Lamb shanks from wethers not lambs (now that will test most of you). Service without a smile. What a pity - this area needs some authenic foreign food desperately. A lost opportunity.    [02 Jun 2004 15:50:33]

Our Favorite Restaurant
We have been going to Kazan Restaurant for many years - the service is consistently excellent and we can always count on the food being delicious. I don't even cook lamb at home anymore since we can get such wonderful lamb chops and shanks at Kazan's. The host is gracious and always very welcoming towards us. We're picky and this is our favorite restaurant.    [26 Aug 2004 21:38:57]

Not good
I would not recommend this restaurant. The food is very ordinary and the price does not match the quality of food.

The rice is very ordinary and the meat is not very flavoured. We paid a huge bill for not many people and could have got better food in another Kabob place.    [28 Oct 2004 12:29:10]
