Breeze Mezze Bar & Grill in Waltham Forest

Awful, been before and yet again let itself down, my friends birthday meal ruined by a surly waitress, not sure if the same one mentioned previously. She wiped crumbs on us, was sarcastic , reached over people to serve food which was not necessary. False smile and you could see her grimacing as she left the table. When we dared to complain after being told the birthday girls dinner would arrive later than the rest of us because of a group booking upstairs she didn’t like it and was observed speaking about us rudely to the other staff. Thankfully after that we were served by a happier member of staff but the night had already been ruined by her. I complained at end to hopefully the manager about her.

The food was very good, but the standoffish, officious attitude of staff was a severe deterrent to a return visit. To be welcoming, friendly and efficient would cost nothing.

Visited breeze turkish restaurant in larkshall Road for a friend's birthday .my goodness what a rude waitress !!!! The aircon was on full heat we were roasting , so asked for it be be turned off , completely ignored us !!! Although did turn it off . Was very standoffish all evening not smiling , food very basic and overpriced. Won't be returning.

The staff very attentive, friendly, food was very tasty, ..I had lamb shisk...very flavour full...my partner ordered a Greek feta salad.. I don't eat rabbit food but it looked yummy...yes would go again....

As an individual who frequently organizes events both in my personal and professional life, I feel compelled to express my candid opinion about Breeze, a restaurant I recently hosted a private dinner at, in London, UK. Regrettably, I can confirm that it stands out as the most disappointing dining experience I have encountered to date. If it were possible, I would give it a rating of 0 to accurately reflect my overall dissatisfaction. Allow me to elaborate on the aspects that led to my unfavorable impression. Firstly, the service provided by the restaurant's staff was characterised by rudeness and a lack of accommodation. While I acknowledge that our party was running behind schedule, such circumstances should not justify an unwelcoming and cold demeanor from the staff, especially considering it was meant to be a celebratory occasion. This contrasts starkly with the friendly and amiable attitude displayed during our initial viewing and consultation, leaving me bewildered by the inconsistency. Furthermore, the organisation and care for customer experience were sorely lacking. For instance, one of my guests had preordered lamb Beyti, but was served lamb Adana instead. Even when we brought this to the manager's attention, they attempted to deceive us by insisting that the dish was indeed Beyti, revealing an alarming lack of integrity. Sadly, this was just one of many instances where they seemed more interested in maximising profits at the expense of delivering a quality dining experience. The food itself left much to be desired, eliciting disappointment from the majority of the approximately 40 guests in attendance. Cold dishes were served, and despite our request, the staff refused to reheat them. Additionally, there were instances of serving food that had gone bad, and certain dishes like the ribs were excessively fatty with minimal meat content. The lamb shank turned out to be soggy, and the chicken was overly salty, further compounding our dissatisfaction. In reflecting on the restaurant's initial favorable impression during our initial meeting, it is unfortunate that I cannot offer any positive sentiments about our actual dining experience. My unequivocal recommendation is to avoid Breeze, especially if considering it as a venue for hosting private events. While they may claim to have no hire costs, be cautious, as they have shown a propensity to overcharge customers through various means. I sincerely hope that others do not have to endure the embarrassment and disappointment that I experienced during what should have been one of the most joyous days of my life – my graduation celebration. Instead, I found myself returning home that night in tears, as this unfortunate experience tarnished what should have been a memorable milestone. After all the hard work and stress that accompanied my postgraduate qualification, I had hoped to share the achievement with loved ones in a celebratory atmosphere. However, Breeze failed to deliver on this expectation, leaving me profoundly disheartened.

I am Turkish I was jus passing by it’s look amazing restaurant internal design unbelievable nice any way went in I order a mixed kebab it’s was a joke i sad my self firstly but it’s wasn’t 3 pieces chicken 3 pieces lamb and solid rock rice no test at all never again I recommend you if you around make sure ask first size of portions

Went to the Breeze, Larkshall Rd E4, for a surprise 60th & 80th birthday dinner & party (Sat 24/06/23) They should rename the restaurant to: the Calamity or the Take On. The function room was supposed to be vacant @ 5pm, but the previous party still going on, we got in the @ 5.35pm, with the room being a total mess left by the previous party, the two people who's suprise party it was for, due to arrive @ 6pm (Very lucky they got caught in traffic). The mass clean up & then decorating of the hall completed @ 6.10pm. We were charged £48 per head for hardly any food at all, the portions a small as possible (Must be working on a 100% profit margin), the two suprise guests arrived luckily late @ 6.30pm, the starter to share with other people?, we recieved @ 6.45pm. We had the very small main meal served @ 8pm & the desert to share with other people again, was served @ 9.30pm. (We had to vacat the hall @ 11pm) I was charged the 1st 3 glasses of Prosecco (for my wife) down stairs in the actual restaurant when we arrived £6.90 a glass, when we went into the hall upstairs, the price began @ £6.49 then changed to £6.90 then later changed to £7.29 then to £7.49, this when I had to say something, don't know how many other guests this was done to, but the bar staff later not registering sales, not giving receipts just tapping customer cards plus the restaurant nor especially the function hall, did not have an official drinks price list on show @ the bar (Which they should by law). I was buying also for myself pints of Efes lager, which was £5.50 later decided to go easy & change to smaller bottles of beer, so began to drink bottles of Efes beer instead of draght pints, the small bottles were £5.50 the same price as a pint? 0/10

Too noisy food isn’t great and the private parties they was hosting on the night was too loud. Food is pretty basic

We went to Breeze for my mum’s birthday in November. It was a really nice meal. Between us we had grilled octopus, grilled halloumi, steaks, mixed kebab and a lamb shank. Each of us said how amazing our food was. Fairly reasonably priced as well. I will definitely go again.

Went their with 4 friends. They served our food very quick. We all enjoyed, will be back soon! Thankyou

Evertying was perfect , nothing to complain , will try again. It was a family dining and atmosphere and staff were awesome

Once a month, I went to this restaurant. The food was good and the service friendly. Today my mind changed after I ordered takeaway food. The Ezme salad was filled with water (the water was running out of the packaging) and when I started eating, I saw an olive there, a piece of roasted onion, something that shouldn’t be in it, which means only one thing, I got leftovers from other customers. Disgusting!!!!!!! The shrimps I ordered were uncleaned and each of the three shrimps was with feces!! The soup, which I didn’t even taste, ended up in the trash can because I won’t eat the leftovers from their tables!!! Avoid this restaurant and especially takeaway dishes!! I feel sick and disgusted.

Cannot fault the food but whole meal and occasion was ruined when the bill came . I was told no breakfast , tried to order a burger … no burgers , wrap….. no wrap We both opted for the lunch menu picked starters and main from the list. Bill came quite extortionate I couldn’t make out why it was so much . It seemed to be added up wrong , no what the waitress had done was charge us for the starter and mains separately. When we queried it apparently our fault when we ordered ! Go figure! Took a lot of adding up by the waitress wasn’t rocket science to see what she had done. Took 3 bills to get it right and I felt like she was doing me a favour for her mistake. Check your bills

Portions very small we left hungry! Service charge very high- 8 children finished their meals leaving 12 adults waiting for main meal up to an hour later .... poor. Had to ask numerous times for birthday cake as children had to leave, imagine birthday cake being eaten whilst adults still had not received starters. Rude male staff in football kit! For the amount we spending only had one attentive lady whom was doing everything,the men were very rude and aggressive. It was a birthday with nearing 20 paying guests, spent in Region of 700 not even a free cola for the birthday boy. Would not recommend will not go again ..... Plenty other tasty Turkish places this just lures you in with the decor....don't be fooled

If you’re not happy with something and complain, be prepared for the backlash from the rude woman in this restaurant. She had no consideration for other customers while she ranted at me when I made a complaint. She wouldn’t let me get a word in, talking over me and her opinion of customers, and I quote, “the customer is not right no”. Really? Grabbed my money quick enough! She should not be front of house, not doing this restaurant any favours.

Attended a family dinner in the rear room of the restaurant. It is completely separate and sealed off by glass from the rest of the restaurant with no ventilation. There are 2 huge what looked like air conditioning ducts, iif it was on it was...

We had starters of chicken liver and octopus, both very good. Our mains were the Breeze Speciality of beautifully tender lamb!!! and Tarragon Chicken, well cooked and tasty but a bit light on the tarragon. Too full for dessert. The house wines were good.

The food is delicious. We had a really nice night with my family until I asked one lady from the staff for the dessert menu. She answered in a really rude manner that first she will clean our table and after that she will give...

As we’re pretty local we thought we’d give Breeze a go after a few of our friends went there and gave it good reviews. My wife had the fish platter which looked amazing and I had the Lamb Shank (Pictured). It was all going so...

We went for dinner and we booked for 10 people the food was delicious anf the starter were very union they served the starter with bread , and the main course was on the time we loved it

Visited Breeze recently and had a pretty poor experience. The unfriendly staff look like they’d rather be somewhere else, wanting to get through the shift. This is extremely overpriced. £7 for a small plate of houmous, another £7 for cacik (essentially yogurt). But then we...

Food was tasty, however kids meal for £10.50 is too expensive, this is not the west end. I have been to many Turkish restaurants and straight away you are offered bread with dips, we ordered calamari and was given bread, what are we supposed to...

First time I have gone to this restaurant, it was my friend’s 40th and she booked out the upstairs dining area for 40 people. The interior was beautiful and the seating was very comfortable. The service could have been better, maybe have had a couple...

We came here for my friend’s birthday and we received excellent service. Fahad was an amazing waiter, he was so friendly and even got us all singing when the cake arrived. Thank you so much

Well it’s hard to know where to start with just how awful this place is. Well, let me begin with the starter. Ordered crispy calamari, and got something like 6 rings, that were damp and limp, and tasted like they were Asda value own brand....

We order here quite regularly but not again as the food is never consistent, we ask for crispy chips and they come soft and mushy and a lamb shish is meant to have rice as usual at the bottom but was met with even more...

We have just come back from a meal at Breeze this evening 04/11/20. We had 4 adults and 2 kids under 3 for our meal and what a disappointment to say the least!! Firstly if you do not want to read a full review just...

Breeze ruined a night out through their shambolic service. So why was the service terrible? - Drinks didn’t arrive until 30 mins after being ordered despite repeatedly reminding the waiter - Starters arrive after we ready to leave being fed up waiting and having toddlers...

I had a really lovely meal at Breeze on Friday 16th October. However the food was delayed being served - everyone seemed to be experiencing the same delay so it was not related to our specific menu choices. The waiter was very attentive, efficient and...

Went there for lunch with mum, the advertise vegan food - so I thought “great”, I’d like something hot to eat. However, apart from salad as a vegan option, they literally only had one hot main course. As they offered penne arribiata, I asked what...

We have been going to Breeze since the place opened and we just fall more and more in love with the place. We will often get a meze of different starters and then 1 main to share between us because the starters are my favourite....

I went to Breeze Highams Park with my mother, sister and niece on Friday 4th Sept. The staff were friendly and the service great. Three of us enjoyed our meal, however, the BBQ lamb ribs were bland as the BBQ sauce was served cold and...

First time at Breeze with my partner and the whole experience was amazing. The service was 10/10. Our food & drinks was served promptly and the taste was sublime. Defiantly recommend Breeze & will come back.

the waiter farhan was so lovely and gave such great customer service, he was also the only one wearing a mask in the restaurant sadly!

Its my third time here and just can't get enough of this restaurant its so fabulous and the food especially the mix sea food is just so lovely. The place is to my standard along with the food. Ps staff are very polit, the mood...

Food was good, fresh and tasty. But their prices went up and they introduced service charges the last week of August. Greedy Greedy Owner. Last visit was expensive, will avoid in the future.

We booked a table for 8pm to arrive to be told we would have to wait 15 mins as it wasn't quite ready. Fine not a problem we thought, the problem started when 45 mins later we were still waiting for our table by the...

We thought it would be a good idea to try somewhere local especially with the help out scheme. Firstly we had booked for a table of 3 via their online booking system but only to get to the restaurant to find our name was not...

We came here 2 weeks ago for my husbands birthday on a Sunday and we had such a lovely experience and thought we should go back again. We turned up and they offered us a seat which was extremely close to the next table, so...

First time here and v impressed... lOng wait between starter and main (50 mins), but it was busy so that’s fine. We had excellent service from Farhad, who definitely deserves a name check - an asset to the restaurant. Thank you again Farhad - we...

Lovely family meal where we enjoyed delicious food and and impeccable service from our waiter Fahad . There is competition around these parts now but this is by far the friendliest most unpretentious and good value Turkish restaurant in the area and the service and...

Went here on Monday ... it was my sons birthday that day so we were going out anyway but a bonus with the new government scheme of £10 off pp .... oh how wrong can one be !!! To start with we were seated upstairs...

The restaurant was so busy due to the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme funded by the government which was nice to see however the restaurant was so understaffed that they couldn’t cope with the service. It took 40 minutes before we received our drinks...

Lovely restaurant and delicious food, staff are very friendly and attentive, we had the whole seabass which was amazing! And very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going again

We have ordered take away recently from Breeze for my wife's birthday. We have ordered Kabab Adana and Cheese Bourek, I have not tasted such a delicious food for a long time. The portion were huge and we could not finish it all that day....

Previously visited the restaurant for dinner and wasn't overly impressed so was reluctant to order a take away but my partner fancied turkish. I had a chicken sheesh with salad and I must say, I enjoyed every mouthful. Obviously came with salad but also lots...

I could not fault the food or the service. We ordered starters of king prawns and calamari. Both in excellent sauces. We followed this with a whole sea bass and a mixed kebab. As good as you would get in a restaurant. Will be using...

My family and I have been to the resturant in Highams Park loads of times. The takeaway was as good as if we were in the resturant. The food was fresh and delicious and hot. Wishing you all the best in this crazy time.
