I took my mum to Khazana, for a belated Mother’s Day lunch today. We were greeted warmly by the owner Abs and invited to take a seat wherever we wished and were presented with menus and given some time to look through.
The decor is warm, comfortable and a nice mix between modern and more traditional, with some tables having inviting high booths and others being more standard with comfortable chairs. There were several low tables too, with sofas and a selection of daily newspapers available. I noted too, some outside seating, but the weather wasn’t really conducive to that today!
The menu is not too large, but we needed a decent time to decide as so many things were inviting us to try them. I was pleased to see that pie and mash was on the menu, presumably in homage to the previous incarnation of the restaurant.
We both decided to try the very colourful burgers and have a decadent milkshake each and while we waited for our food, we observed other customers being greeted in the same friendly way we were, we noted too, that regulars usual orders were well remembered.
Back to the food….Oh my goodness, I was hungry when I went in, but those burgers are something to behold and the chips were really nicely cooked. The only downside for me personally, is that the burgers are rather coarser ground than I prefer, but it’s a minor point and doesn’t take away from the overall experience.
They make their own burger sauce, which I have to say, is really good. Mum isn’t a fan of traditional burger sauce, so Abs kindly brought us a little dish to try, which we then kept and used as a dip for our chips - yum! It’s got a great flavour profile and a great little kick at the end.
The milkshakes are delicious! Mum and I both remarked that they were the best milkshakes we have ever had and I stand by that. We’d happily go back, just for a milkshake, but I think we’ll be working our way through the menu at the same time!
The prices are extremely reasonable, the portions generous, the food fresh and well presented and the service outstanding. I have no hesitation in giving Khazana 5 stars and a glowing recommendation.
Thank you Abs, we’re coming...
Read moreI'm really disappointed after being served Halal meats, I do not eat Halal meats and they also serve fake Bacon and sausages.
You can't say Bacon and sausages on your menu, then sell turkey bacon and beef sausages without explicitly saying that. How can you write Full English breakfast and then substitute key items due to your beliefs, please bear in mind that they are not my beliefs.
I'm disgusted by the breakfast I've eaten here.
Upon paying my bill, I asked the server about the food and he said it's Halal. I asked why doesn't it say its Halal on the menu and he said the sign is outside. I don't read Arabic, much like most Brits! Pizza Express doesn't have a Halal sign outside, but all of their chicken is!
Very unfortunate, as this is a clean and tidy place with good seating. I feel as though it's quite underhand to serve 'English' breakfast and then bastardising it for religious reasons.
Avoid if you are looking for a proper English breakfast, as they are unable to serve one for...
Read moreI had the pleasure of visiting this cafe recently with my friends , and I must say, it left a lasting impression. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the signature burgers - they were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.
The Donner kebab was a delightful surprise.
The peri peri chicken had just the right amount of spice to excite the taste buds without overwhelming them.
To wash it all down, we indulged in one of their milkshakes, which was not only creamy but also incredibly satisfying.
Aside from the delectable food, the cafe had a cozy and inviting ambiance that made my dining experience all the more enjoyable. The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the overall positive impression.
If you're a fan of burgers, kebabs, peri peri chicken, and delicious milkshakes, this cafe is a must-visit. I'll definitely be returning for more of their mouthwatering...
