Aromatic Kazan gets repeated thumbs up for its set Turkish meze, shish kebabs and kulbasti (rosemary-rubbed grilled fillet of lamb). Flavours are rich and faultless, service is attentive and the Ottoman ambience alluring, but not over the top. Seafood and vegetarian options available; served before 6.30pm. The pre-theatre menu (£15) includes a mezze taster and a main. Booking ahead is recommended.
