I expected it to be better over all. The house red wine was the best bit. Some dishes could have made better myself. The aubergine was a bit bland and tasteless, it just tasted of cigarette butts. The lamb was nice as were the chicken wings and halloumi fries. But over priced for what it is, I wasn't blown away.

This was our second visit - the first was fantastic, great service, great food, great atmosphere. I don’t know if there has been a change in management or the manager was away, but the service was poor and they were playing loud music - and not just background music, but bands like the Killers - it was more like what you’d expect in a bar than a nice restaurant. At first we thought perhaps there was a party in the back room, but the music was just from the till area and seemed to be more for the staff than the customers. The food was great - just a shame about the service and the music.

Unfortunately the service really let this place down. The restaurant looks the part but our waitress kept forgetting our drink orders and wasn't able to explain the menu. The food was cold (when meant to be hot) and the lamb was dry and overcooked. All in all, very disappointing. The cocktail was good though!

The food was amazing. Restaurant was empty (which I found odd given the quality of the food). Music was too loud and not relevant at all to the type of restaurant. Service was ok. I definitely would go back for the food.

This in the third time I've been to Jan which proves i'm a fan...but my most recent visit wasn't good atall. Service was slow, food came in bits over the course of an hour. Two dishes were missing and we communicated this to the staff, despite this the dishes showed up as we were waiting for dessert. Miscommunication between staff members and the error seemed to be our fault. Usually Jan is wonderful so disappointed overall...hopefully this was a one off!

Their reservation system made a mistake with our booking so we had to sit at the bar for 45 minutes. Not the end if the world, we just had a cocktail while we waited. Food wise they twice forgot the order of a side salad, the hangar steak was overcooked and the blackened sweet potato was a bit meh. But the homemade hummus was insanely good, the fried haloumi was tasty as hell and the lamb koftas were really good. Overall it had really bad and really good points, so a bit tough to judge. The service was very good and the staff offered us complimentary drinks due to the reservation mistake. So all in all, it was a good evening.

The food here is just lovely, refreshing dishes & ingredients, which are cooked very well. The menu could be deemed slightly limited, but everything which I’ve ordered from it is just excellent. £30 per head for brunch dish, selection of tapas dishes to share, dessert, tea. All excellent, with very unobtrusive service! Great spot, although sad to see we were the only diners.

Lovely meal at Jan with good food - particularly the hanger steak. Service was good, reasonably priced drinks and lovely ambience. We were advised 3-4 dishes each but 11 between 4 of us was perfect. Tables could do with being slightly bigger but with one taken away to provide more space in between as the waiting staff kept knocking chairs when squeezing past.

Excellent food with incredible flavours, something very different to the usual Northcote Road fare. Will keep coming back.
