Kazan Restaurant

For a delightful experience in Turkish fare, Kazan, a McLean staple for many years, is a must-visit. Try Imam Bayildi (“the most famous Turkish eggplant appetizer”) Sucuk Kizartmasi—a special sliced lamb sausage grilled and served with pickles and tomatoes, or the Coban Salatasi (Turkish Shepherd’s Salad) for a lighter bite. And don’t miss the special orange baklava, said to be a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, when Kazan owner made it for her during a state visit to Turkey over three decades ago.
