Hafla Hafla in Liverpool

Food was incredible and not too dear. Staff were lovely too!

My friend and I went for a catch up and it was perfect! The food was extraordinary and the dishes are the right size to share (or steal for yourself depending on your disposition) Our server, Hannah, was delightful and I felt that she would have gone out of her way to help anyone! Her humour and acceptance of my silliness made me feel right at ease. Give her a pay rise! I'd recommend HH to everyone but make sure you have a booking as it's very popular and usually busy!

Humus, kofte and crispy bread is good. Bread pudding is delicious

Food was amazing. Don't know what else to say really! Loved it. Thank you. We'll be back x

Cool funky little restaurant tucked amongst lots of places to eat. Absolutely delishous fresh cooked Mediterranean cuisine. And it's always packed because it's fantastic and tiny.

The kebabs and honey halloumi fries were amazing. Very friendly staff too

The food here is delicious! Fresh, well presented and so tasty! What a bonus being able to eat outside in the sunshine! Perfect! Will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere and one of the best places on Lark Lane. Food was phenomenal! The service was really on point.

Great vegan options!! The vegan fetta is to die for!

Fern and Charlie made our experience absolutely amazing with their excellent service, they went above and beyond! Gorgeous room and even better food, definitely coming again 🥰

Delish food plenty of choice reasonably priced . Very busy ... need to book

Very good food and friendly staff We recommend it!

Enjoy my meeting with a friend, food was lovely especially bread nice taste with rosemary. Staff was polite. We had table booked for 11am, however place become very busy during the lunch time. Recommend making reservation.

Delicious, as always, and we were very well looked after by Paddy. Such a lovely atmosphere, great recommendations on food choices and top marks on cocktails.

A lovely visit to lark lane and stumbled upon this place! Amazing food selection, we opted for sharing small plates and everything was really tasty. Amazing service all of the staff were friendly particularly Hannah so we would definitely return.

Will be going back very soon , amazing food

Absolutely brilliant night out. The food was amazing - and nobody could leave here hungry. The Staff were superb - they really looked after us and were helpful, polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend this for a night out if you have the room for more food than seems possible

Nice for sharing food. Make sure you book otherwise you've got no hope of getting a table as it's so popular.

Great authentic dishes. It's worth the trip from Southport. Great food and drink. Book ahead for "accessibility," but everything else was great.

From the moment we walked in, we were well looked after, swapping tables so that my wife didn’t have to sit too close to the speakers (they weren’t that loud anyway, but she wears hearing aids & is ,therefore, sensitive) Lauren did a great job in advising us all on the best way to order, especially useful as our table went from very young to me, definitely not young…the food was incredible, with fresh flavours that we had never tasted before A lovely, vibey place to spend a summer evening eating, talking and laughing. Thanks to all at Hafla Hafla, especially Lauren and her great advice, we had a wonderful evening.

We went here today for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. Child friendly venue all of the small plates we had were delicious and the staff were all welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend thanks for a lovely meal x

excellant food and service I formative friendly staff large portions don't be put off by downbeat decor more than made up for by everything else thoroughly recommended

Love the food, I would come back a hundred times for the corn ribs and the rosemary fries!

Food, especially the hallumi, tasted amazing. However, the portion sizes were smaller than I'm used to. Husband loved his meal though.

Had over 10 dishes in the group and every one of them was amazing. Great service as well.

Friendly staff,eccellent food!to start I had a chicken thigh with spicy honey,and to follow I had a pudding with toffee sauce!Everything was delicious😁

Didn't have several items that were on the menu. Disappointing.

Such good food! Really good babaghanoush and halloumi! Loved the tapas style menu, the portions were a generous size! Lovely setting with outside tables for spring and summer down Lark lane :)

Food and wine fantastic! Couldn’t fault it! Our server Milly was so lovely and friendly, all the staff were amazing. Our new favourite on Lark Lane :)

Took my mum out for a mother's day meal on a surprisingly busy Tuesday evening. The food was definitely worth going back for and NAT in the hat that served us was funny informative and made us feel at home.

My favourite place on Lark Lane. Food is always unreal, cocktails are top tier and service is always excellent. Lovely afternoon spent here, Hannah and Charlie were both super friendly and the atmosphere was so welcoming

Booked table for Friday evening. Seated after few minutes wait, and told we have the table for 1 hour 30 minutes which I wasn’t told when I booked. It took 15 minutes to take drink/food order, food arrived approximately 20 minutes later yet within 15 minutes of food arriving at which point we have been there for 55 minutes the waitress tells us we have 15 minutes left! 5 minutes later the waitress reappears and takes plates of food we had not finished eating! Conveniently a group of walk in customers were waiting for our table. I would suggest for future reference if you are only permitting customers enough time to eat half their food then logical to charge them half the cost! Awful service, unhelpful staff, mediocre food and much nicer restaurants on Lark Lane which I visit regularly as I live local.

Fabulous lunch in Lark Lane during our walk along the waterfront from central Liverpool to Sefton Park. Delicious food and great service. We’ll be back.

Family of six adults there to celebrate 2 birthdays. Mediocre at best, couldn't eat at the same time as waiting too long for each meal, some of the party had completed their meal before others had arrived. Poor service had other people in but not busy. Very disappointing birthday meal and definitely not worth the 2 hour drive On booking they had asked for a reason, we said it was to celebrate 2 birthdays with a long drive to get there, why bother asking if you aren't going to do anything?? Would not recommend

Got to say, we were very well looked after today by 2 guys working there today, we wanted a table for 4 and were booked in for by 1pm, the table was needed back by 2.30 due to a large party but our friends got stuck in traffic and we’re quite late, they were still really accommodating! They took our orders and brought our food quickly but not rushed, special shout to the young lad, he was brilliant and really nice. Based on these two guys alone we’d come back and have already recommended Hafla hafla, it helps that the food was amazing too, all fresh and good size plates too, be back soon 👍👍

Booked a table on a Friday evening for a group only be told 55 minutes in we had 15 minutes left. Not told this when booked! Took plates away whilst still eating! Couldn’t wait to roll the next ones in! Awful service! Won’t be returning.

Friendly service, good quality food, convivial atmosphere.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with great staff and gorgeous fresh food. Amazing quality seafood and no wonder the halloumi fries are famous!! I had really specific requests for my food to be cooked differently and it was all done without me feeling like I was being any trouble. Definitely coming back! Thanks for a great night.

Hafla Hafla is a regular for me (has been for ages!!) and I love it every single time! Last night was my birthday get together, 14 of us all sat upstairs on a busy Saturday night and it was PERFECT. The food came out quickly at nice intervals (which was impressive given the amount of people!), the staff were all so lovely and accommodating every single person was happy with their food, we all left very full and very happy! My absolute favourite place to eat . Everything is spot on from the atmosphere to the food. Thank you for helping make my birthday so special 🥰❤️

Amazing food. Loads of new things to try and both the kebabs we had were so tasty

Highly recommended, great food, friendly staff and very nice atmosphere

Amazing food and great vibe! Would recommend for Gluten free and Vegetarian people, great options :)

Wonderful place, great food and service

I've been here twice now and it was great both times. Amazing vegeterian and vegan options, really tasty tapa style food, and friendly staff

We were there with friends and all ordered different dishes. All was super delicious. A large selection for all tastes and preferences. The price/performance ratio is also good. The friendly and competent staff deserve special mention. Many thanks for the great service. See you very soon.

Great food, great service. There were 6 of us looking for an impromptu bite to eat and we were fitted in and made to feel welcome. Good value - totally recommended.

Left yesterday afternoon replete with food, drink and endorphins. Great atmosphere, great food and great staff.

I visited the restaurant with my partner and regret doing so. It was my partners birthday and this was a big treat for us but we were seated right by the by the bar. All we could hear was the bar staff talking to each other despite there being plenty of empty tables to the right of us. We also had to ask if we could order food as this seemed to take forever. I also had to ask for the bill twice. The staff also did not check in with us during the meal to ask if we were ok or needed anything else. As I result I didn’t appreciate the service charge as I don’t think the staff had earned it. Massive disappointment - we won’t be returning.

Fantastic food and service, incredible value too. 2 kebabs, 4 small plates and hummus between the two of us (we over-ordered) for £56 including service charge. Will definitely be back!

Crispy oyster mushrooms were great Skin on fries were really not good Too soft The falafel was terrrible

The tastiest Middle Eastern food, in a cool contemporary setting with friendly knowledgeable staff. An absolute gem of a place!

I've visited Hafla Hafla twice recently. On both occasions the food and service has been excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I'd especially recommend the calamari. The bread and butter pudding is also excellent. The restaurant has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I'd highly recommend.

Great food. Sat down for 15 minutes and had to ask for a drink. Expected better service.

Amazing good and great service. Waiter recommended the corn ribs which tasted great Really enjoyed our evening

Such a lovely and friendly staff and nice food. I order roast chicken kebab and halloumi fries. The Taste was fantastic ane unreal. I should told hafla is one of the top best Middle eastern fusion restaurant in liverpool. Nice outside Seat Available in the summer time.

Fantastic food and service in a lovely environment. We had all veggie/vegan stuff. The hummus in particular was amazing.

Four of us wandered in without a booking on Monday evening at about 7:30. Our small scruffy mutt was welcome in the lower section and she was provided with a bowl of water. The food was absolutely excellent and the service was friendly, quick and attentive. A very good experience and it was reasonably priced.

good was gorgeous, and the atmosphere is lovely in there. Hannah looked after me today , she has served me before and each time she has been so lovely and welcoming. Always smiley and attentive xx thank you !!

Lovely food as ever, never a bad dish. Friendly enough service but a little let down by poor attention to detail. Staff weren’t checking if all was ok or if we needed anything else, we had to call them over each time. When we finished our meal we were left with sticky crumbs on the table that wasn’t wiped. I notice that the manager doesn’t seem to respond to comments on here too. So close to perfect if that attention was a bit better.

Positively surprised. Great food, great service. Definitely suggest it.

Lovely meal however it really puts me off when places add on a service charge to your bill, especially when the service was pretty minimal overall. I do understand we can take it off, however it puts customers in an unfair position and makes us feel v uncomfortable which surely isn't what you want guests to feel. Just very cheeky- if we felt the service went above and beyond then we'd have tipped. Sadly won't be visiting again.

Great place to have a meal. Do come here by all means! Just be prepared because this is the only meal you'll have for the day! We ate lots, but almost everything was great!

the food in this restraunt is really amazing as were the staff quirky place. halloumi fries delicious. prawns amazing. chicken great and lamb kofta wine delicious and beer good a little pricey but we’ll worth it

Couldn't resist trying Hafla Hafla after seeing the food on the tables outside, which looked amazing. We were served by Nat who was lovely and really attentive, making sure we had water on the table (in the September heatwave) and replacing the empty bottle with a full one before we even had to ask. The food was tasty and the bread was so delicious it felt indulgent. The halloumi kebab was good but could've been better. It was overloaded with wet ingredients (coleslaw I think) which caused a soggy pool in the centre of the bread. The halloumi was also really salty and the other ingredients didn't quite balance it out. We'd definitely go back here again though to try more dishes.

We *love* the food in the place, but the service lets us down every time. One visit, we received an angry phone call 30 minutes before our booking asking where we were (they incorrectly had our booking in early). We were apologetic, checked and double...

Staffs are super friendly. I enjoyed the cocktails.

We enjoyed eating mostly fish and vegetarian options from the small plate menu. All the dishes were delicious, with the Sea Bass, Cauliflower, King Prawn and roasted Brocolli dishes getting a special mention. The portions are generous and the service friendly all for just over...

First time at Hafla Hafla, very impressed, there wasn’t anything we did not enjoy… the food was delicious and some of the best we’ve had in a while, the service was exceptional (especially paddy) and the whole vibe to the place was homely and warm....

Such a great experience this eve. Staff were so helpful and friendly, especially Nats. I had lots of questions and Nats answered them all with a smile. Everyone’s food was delicious (1 vegan and 2 not). Will be back again soon. ☺️

Absolutely loved this place. The staff were so lovely & friendly but especially Nats. She was really helpful & gave so much, time, care & consideration with explaining the meals, helping us pair our plates & being super vegan friendly. Love the food, reasonably priced,...

A wonderful find. Great place and gorgeous food, lovely staff. It’s that simple. Don’t miss out. I’ve been several times and love it.

This place is definitely one of, if not the best on lark lane. The service is always spot on, and the food is incredible. Plenty of options, I’d recommend it all but the broccoli is a must!

Just love this place. The food is just gorgeous. Service is good and friendly. The flatbreads are delicious, as are all the starters/ sides etc. Highly recommended but beware it gets busy and you often cannot get in.

Despite having lived just outside Liverpool for four years, this was our first visit to Lark Lane. We booked at Hafla Hafla in the hope of enjoying a good shakshuka for brunch. When we arrived, we found a table had been reserved that was ideal...

Who knew broccoli could taste that good! Harissa roast potatoes, prawns, heritage tomatoes to name just a few of the dishes we tried, all amazing, we couldn’t fault a single thing. Good atmosphere and nice staff. We will definitely return!

We were looking for somewhere to eat in the area.With 3 teenage kids -2 who are fussy wanting chips and not the easiest to please.We came across this place knowing nothing about and hoping for the best.. All 4 of us ordered something different and...

Went for lunch with the BOSS and our eldest daughter. First time I had been out for lunch since the pandemic. The table was ideal for me as it had a bench seating which is great because I am disabled. Lots of variety on the...

The food here is fantastic. We ordered a halloumi and lamb kebab each, some hummus and falafel. Everything came out promptly and it was delicious and piping hot. Would definitely recommend. Staff were friendly.

Not my first visit to Hafla,and everything the food has been top draw. The chicken tenders were unbelievable,crunchy and mosit in the middle.The game changer was the beef brisket kebab,amazing.Defo worth a visit

Overpriced, overcooked, tasteless, poor quality food. The menu is limited and what is there is masquerading as Middle Eastern street food. In reality it’s absolutely nothing like Middle Eastern street food. It’s more like “cook from frozen” bargains from “Iceland” supermarket. Dry disappointing. Never again.

Visited here with a friend for first time. Atmosphere was great and service was great and plenty of vegetarian and non vegetarian options. I ordered beef kebab and chocolate torte for dessert which were really tasty. Few things that I thought let the place down...

Brought some friends from out of town for a birthday meal. Our first time, staff were fab, very attentive and gave us some great recommendations. Food was delicious!

First time trying this place and it didn’t disappoint. The menu is varied, service was great. I can honestly say I’ve not tasted broccoli like it before - that dish was incredible! The beef brisket was so good too, decent halloumi fries and falafel as...

Visited here for the first time this evening and will definitely be back. They have a vegan menu and lots of vegetarian options. It's a little bit on the pricier side I would say but all the food was flavourful and cooked well so no...

The food is bland and overpriced, service was poor, and the tricking you to pay for "table water" was tourist trap behaviour. (Really, Hafla? In a heatwave?) They know you wouldn't choose to tip so they try to force you by including it in the...

After living in the Middle east I was curious to try Hafla. The food is middle eastern inspired and loved the combinations of flavour and spices. My only complaint is at the price of the kebabs, they didn't come with anything like chips or salad...

My brother booked here for Father's day, however, on my intial look of the menu I wasn't that keen, although, I thought it would be alright. However, how wrong was I. The food was unbelievable! The cod with parnisp puree, chicken thighs with hot honey,...

Walked along Lark Lane to find somewhere to eat and stopped here. Service and food was excellent. After having several mediocre meals out recently we were surprised to find somewhere as good. We will go back.

Visited today for lunch. Had a 12.30 booking, but only the limited brunch menu was available, so we didn't order until the main menu was allowed. The food was lovely. The halloumi fries were so tasty! Like other people, we found the plates far too...

Had heard good reviews about Hafla Hafla so thought we'd give it a go. Received a nice welcome but but ultimately we left disappointed. The food was disappointing considering the prices. The buttermilk chicken was tasteless and side dishes arrived ten minutes before the meat dishes. If you want good Mediterranean food, Elif down the road offers better quality and value for money.

Went in September 2021 and it was amazing, the food was unreal. Decided to go back in March 2022 and it was nothing like before, the menus changed and I don’t know if the chef has as well but it was nowhere near as good. The calamari used to be amazing and come as this fresh, tasty salad but I ordered it this time and it was just calamari and seemed over cooked. The wrap/kofta was so tasty last time and this time it was nowhere near as good. The kebab in the middle was small and didn’t taste that good. Everything used to be amazing but it’s gone really downhill. Wouldn’t go back now and it’s a shame because it used to be really good.

Excellent, great vegetarian options

Very nice vibe, chilled, great food and drink selection. Service was amazing!!

Absolutely delicious food, halloumi fries are the best. Went for a good selection and wasn't disappointed, great choice of vegetarian food. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend

First time here and definitely be coming back. Nice chilled atmosphere and of course lovely food

Not good for people with allergens. The staff weren’t trained to help people with allergies. Had a mild allergic reactions to nuts after telling them specifically my allergies. If you have no allergies though, the food is passable but slightly overpriced. The menu isn’t particularly helpful. There are no pictures and the descriptions make little sense to non-foodies. What I thought I had ordered (“buttermilk chicken breast”) turned out to be overly fried chicken. KFC would’ve been more enjoyable to eat. Service was not very helpful in their descriptions. It’s hard finding places that know how to cater for customers with allergies. I understand it is hard to adjust their culinary practices as it eats into the bottom line and causes more stress for the cooks, but spending the effort to ensure all their customers feel safe and included is a long term investment, as people like me spread the word of good restaurants and will always be back for more. I hope they will be more careful next time as some people have far worse reactions than myself.

Wonderful food. Excellent service.

Lovely staff. Mushroom and halloumi kebab wrap 😍💚
