"The pasta dishes here are exceptional, prepared by passionate chefs who truly value the food and its heritage. We sampled three different pasta dishes between the two of us, and each one surpassed the previous in flavor and quality. We can't wait to return to try the winter menu; this restaurant is a real treasure. It has undoubtedly become our top choice in Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding area. Although it may be a bit pricier than some other places, the incredible food makes it well worth it. Service: Dine in."

"We have been regulars to the mevan since it opened in Leighton and when lockdown happened we missed our favourite Turkish restaurant, as we had many family parties there and we were always treated like royalty by the owners.Then we see that if was being refurbished and found out it was under new ownership we couldn’t wait to see and see if the food was still amazing and hoping to see if the old staff had been retained.We were not disappointed, great refurb and as we walked in there was a new greeter and then the old manager came and gave us a big hug and the best barman in town was still there.We were sat down and it was like we were at home with complimentary shot and nothing was a problem.It was was great to see the restaurant packed and atmosphere great and being treated the same by the new and old staff. The menu had changed slightly and prices had been increased, but this would be expected but the service and food was still amazing if not better.Fully recommend the new look food and restaurant And Alex is the best shot maker and the staff are awesome.See you soon guys and ladies."

"Booked a table for a birthday meal, and was over the moon with the evening. The Dukes allowed us to use decorations free of charge and even helped set up a little table for presents and cakes! The food was just right, and the customer service throughout the night was top notch plenty of smiles enjoyable conversation. A massive thank you to Andy and the team on shift for a fantastic evening!"

"THE FOOD IS REHEATED AND NOT FRESH! I ordered the hare of the dog the full English breakfast , both the SAUSAGE, which was burnt black, and BACON, turned orange and dried out, had been reheated and were at least a COUPLE OF DAYS OLD. I explained to the waitress when she collected the plates how to tell the food had been reheated on both these items. When we paid, the waitress had checked with the kitchen AND CONFIRMED YES THE FOOD IS NOT FRESH and they REHEAT FOOD they 'd cooked days before. We were then told it wouldn 't make sense for a business to cook these fresh otherwise it would take 45mins for the breakfasts ??? . Come on it ' doesn 't take that long to cook these items, especially not bacon. I was surprised to hear a justification on what 's best for their business rather than customer focus or not misleading customers. Maybe change the menu to say 'days old reheated sausage and reheated dried out bacon ' just to be clear. We still paid in full but they should have at the very least offered a discount or to cook fresh."

"I am disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. When I made a reservation for a party of 16, I requested to be seated in the conservatory area to avoid feeling cramped. Despite reassurances, we were instead seated at the back of the restaurant. The service was slow, with drinks and starters taking over an hour to arrive. We waited another hour for our mains, and had to constantly remind the staff about our forgotten drinks. The food did not live up to expectations and did not resemble the pictures online. Although the restaurant did take a few items off the bill, we left feeling disappointed and do not plan on returning."
