Live Turkish Music and Mezze Nights at Laz Camden

Camden is always buzzing with sound. From the hum of the market to buskers on the High Street and the thump of bass from underground clubs, there’s never a quiet moment. But tucked just off the main stretch is a different kind of energy—something soulful and warm. 

At Laz Camden, Friday and Saturday nights come alive with the rich sounds of live Turkish music and the comforting aromas of authentic Turkish food.

Step inside and you’ll feel like you’ve wandered into a mezze house in Istanbul. 

Instruments like the saz and ney begin to play, filling the room with stories. These aren’t just background tunes—they’re part of the meal. The music ebbs and flows, sometimes energetic, sometimes tender, always inviting. It sets the tone for a night that’s less about rushing through dinner and more about enjoying each bite, each note, and each moment.

The evening begins with a colourful table of mezze, a central part of Turkish dining. 

Start with the Mediterranean Board, a colourful spread of cacık, beetroot kısır, babaganoush, and humus, served with warm bread. For something richer, the Humus Kavurma (creamy humus topped with crispy lamb) or the golden, crispy Calamari with mustard aioli are favourites that pair beautifully with the live music.

Seafood fans will love the Mediterranean Prawns, sautéed with garlic and lemon butter, or the tender Octopus Salad, marinated and tossed with cherry tomatoes and olive oil. All of which pair beautifully with a glass of something cold – or better yet, something traditional.

That’s where Yeni Rakı comes in. This anise-flavoured spirit is known as Turkey’s national drink. It’s poured into a tall glass, then mixed with water until it turns cloudy white—earning it the nickname aslan sütü, or “lion’s milk.” 

But it’s not meant to be drunk quickly. Rakı is a ritual. It’s slow, thoughtful, and always enjoyed with food and friends. 

At Laz Camden, it flows gently through the evening, the perfect companion to music and mezze.

The atmosphere at Laz Camden on music nights is special. It’s not just about eating out. It’s about gathering – like people do in Turkey, around long tables with music in the background, Rakı in their glass, and warm food in front of them. You feel it in the laughter, in the clink of glasses, in the way no one’s in a rush to leave.
