Kawan Restaurant Review: A Daring Menu That Misses the Mark in London's W1

Grace Dent visits Kawan, a new restaurant in London's W1 district, and finds a menu full of ambition that often stumbles. The highlight, a dish described as 'this dish is bound to work, we think. But it doesn't. It’s hideous.' Dent notes that while the restaurant aims to impress with bold flavors and creative combinations, many plates fail to deliver. The atmosphere is pleasant, but the erratic execution leaves diners wondering if the kitchen is still finding its footing.
