hattusa in Sevenoaks

The ambiance and food are amazing

Friendly attentive service with nicely presented and tasty food.

Wasn't expecting to find such a good Turkish restaurant outside of London and this might be one of the best I've had! Everything was just so yummy! In particular the lamb cubes(?) were perfection - juicy, tender and so flavorful. The chicken also came perfectly charred and tender. We got the shared platter for 2 which includes the hot meze platte and mixed grill for £56. Enormous portions and we got to try a bit of everything. Pleasantly surprised by the policy of not including a service charge. The decor was warm, modern and cosy. Will 💯 be back.

It was a weekday evening , very wet and my Waze navigation took me to their takeaway initially then the incorrect street for the restaurant. With help from pedestrians we arrived. Walked up the stairs and really enjoyed the complementary bowl of very tasty olives followed by spectacular diced salad and our meals. I love Turkish restaurants. They all do wonderful tasty food. Will be back if ever in Sevenoaks again. Don’t not go to Hattusa

The liver starter was beautiful. Chilli Prawns great. The mixed grill was the bestI have had. My wife enjoyed her mixed shish. Large portions. Everything was bursting with flavour. We came on the recommendation of @Garyeats youtube channel. His review was spot on 👍 We parked on the street outside which is free for 2 hours.

Lovely atmosphere and great service, everyone is very attentive. Food wise the portions are good and the usual wonderful flavours of chargrilled turkish food. The chilli prawns and bread were amazing (make sure you let them know you want the halal version and they’ll cook it with Olive oil instead of wine) - Worth a visit if you’re in the area. Only criticism, more bread would have been nice. Most Turkish restaurants serve bread and sauces as you arrive these days, we’ve become spoilt by them, lol.

Amazing food & service always. LOVE this place!

Lovely place with welcoming staff and great food

Wonderful food, excellent service, and friendly, efficient staff.

Delicious food Prompt service Would definitely recommend this place

Absolutely top-notch restaurant on every respect: surroundings; superb staff; excellent menu; delicious food. Really, really enjoyed our visit!

We chose Hattusa for our anniversary meal (We stayed in Sevenoaks for three nights.) based on its website, which depicts a very attractive-looking restaurant, its superb menu, and its impressive TripAdvisor reviews. So, we arrived with pretty positive expectations. These were more than met in our really top-notch evening meal! It began a little inauspiciously, in that we were sat next to a noisy group, but, upon asking, we were immediately offered a quiet table. Such is the nature and layout of the place that, wherever you sit, it is comfortable and pleasant. Tick, then, for the website images accurately convey the attractiveness of the surroundings. A second tick for the menu, in that our choices - acili humus, two starters, two mains, two Hattusa Delights (Requested on the phone, and paid for, during the meal by our son, so well done him, and the staff!) and two liqueur coffees - were uniformly excellent, and, we think, very reasonably priced. The final tick would relate to the TripAdvisor reviews, but, in particular, the superb staff! We were so very well looked after; nothing was too much trouble; all members of staff were cheery, helpful and tremendously efficient. We had a wonderful evening, and commend Hattusa strongly, and without reservation. Thank you very much.

This was a small group catch up, which the waiter handled well as we were slow in making our food choices. We went for two hot meze platters for starters and it was very delicious with the bread and good selection. The main courses were good value for money including mix grill, mix kebabs, mix Shish The waiter was excellent and also liked that the service charge wasn’t on bill as seems the norm these days. Also liked that they called on the day to confirm the booking. Will definitely return

The hummus and marinated grilled lamb cutlets are amazing, super tasty!

Simply amazing! The quality of the food was exquisite, and the waiters and waitresses super nice. I feel the ratio price/quality is well balanced, as rations are really good

A birthday meal with friends. Luckily managed to park outside in the road just after 19.00, don't think they have a car park. Upon entering, you see the hot grill sizzling and the sight of meat on skewers cooking. Nice man held the door open. My party was already there, seated on the 2nd floor. On my way to them, lots of filled tables, quite busy. Attentive staff, quick to take drink orders, and allowed us time to catch up and view the food menu. Empty glasses and plates quickly removed. The food was lovely. The lamb kebab was outstanding, simply cooked and delicious. As standard, the mains are accompanied by rice, bulger wheat, and salad. No problems throughout the meal, service charge automatically added, about £6 a head. Toilets on the 3rd floor. I didn't have dessert or coffee or liqueurs, so I can't comment. I couldn't manage to eat all my mains as I gorged on the hummus and prawns. They were happy to pack it up for takeaway. An enjoyable experience and one that we will repeat. 6 people eating, we split the bill and rounded up for convience, £60 per person.

Went here a couple of months ago, we were sat upstairs between 2 tables that were about 1ft apart. Might as well have all been on the same table. We could all hear each other’s conversations. Food was ok I suppose, but they’re trying to squeeze too many tables into a small space

Tues 1/10/24. Arrived approx. 8.45pm. We ordered grilled chicken with yoghurt/bread for two. Chicken and sauce/marinade etc were very tasty. After a few a few pieces of chicken each, we asked for some more bread, only to be told be told that the kitchen was closed, at 9.30pm...... After we had finished the meal, we were brought a menu listing desserts, which, I assume/hope, came from the kitchen. All in all, general satisfaction, but bit of a mystery regarding the bread and who was in charge....

Excellent restaurant. Visiting 7oaks family and went to Hattusa for dinner. We had the Hattusa special mezze (cold) because my oh wanted hummus. Pretty good it was too. The main was simply excellent and more than enough for two people. A bottle of Chardonnay accompanied a pretty impressive meal. The place was buzzing on a Saturday night. Highly recommended.

Nice platter and good service. The tables for two are pretty small. Slightly dissapointed that we couldn't use a table for 4 next to us, which remained empty (like others) during our dining. Nonetheless a good meal..

Friendly and attentive service and more importantly delicious food. We'll worth a visit when in Sevenoaks. There is also on street parking outside the restaurant.

Fabulous food and service. Best grilled meat i've ever tasted 🤩

Excellent food, efficient staff, comfortable seating!

Straight 5 star proper feast for hungry people. Meat is freshly grilled and served with plenty of fresh veggies and carbs. Great taste and excellent value for money.

Hattusa is a wonderful, local restaurant. The food is fantastic and tastes like it has been prepared from scratch. The is an abundance of menu items to choose from. We enjoyed the Mousakka and Lamb shank. Both were delicious. The portion sizes are very generous and personally, I would prefer them smaller. I also tried the "mini dessert" which was a scoop of ice-cream and a piece of baklava with a coffee. A perfect way to end a meal.

Lovely food and excellent service

Went on a Sunday evening as a group of eight. It was very busy and quite noisy, but perhaps that was just the group near us. Food was very good and plentiful. Service good. Not ideal place if you are slightly infirm as tables on first floor and toilets either on ground floor or second floor.

Fantastic food and brilliant staff

Friendly staff; really lovely atmosphere and feel to the restaurant. Beautiful food and good value for money. One of the best Espresso Martinis too! Would definitely recommend.

First time here and a little disappointed if I'm honest. Food was OK bit nothing special. The Lamb Kofte was spicy but didn't have that cumin spicing that is authentically Turkish. The rest of the mixed grill was a bit like a bbq at best. Don't be fooled by the menus you can download. The prices have gone up. 7 of us dined with drinks for £350, none of us are big drinkers so be warned. The staff were friendly and polite and the restaurant itself is well presented. There is a lot of seating upstairs and quite a step to enter which people with limited mobility should be aware of.

My brother-in-law's birthday dinner with the whole family. Cozy place where we had a delicious meal. Have been there before and will definitely come back!!

First time going to the restaurant and i must say we were really taken care of. My Son has a nut allergy and the waiter was so careful to check everything with the chef. The food was amazing and price was very reasonable and portions big. Will definatley be going back.

Really nice food and result great service.

Lovely Turkish restaurant with courteous staff and delicious food. We ordered multiples dishes like humus, chicken wings , chicken seesh , haloumi grill . For me there chicken wings were the highlight of the lunch.

Lovely staff and delicious food

Great food, great service, but at times can feel a little rushed

Been here many times to eat with family and friends the food is outstanding the ,the staff were outstanding the atmosphere was outstanding had a great birthday meal here with family

Nice place. The stairs are quite steep and plentiful so not the ideal place if you aren't very able. The food was good and the people were nice but the food and drinks were slightly overpriced. The mixed grill is a good choice if you're not sure what you need or want a bit of everything.

Terrible food and terrible service. Felt like we weren’t waiting. Someone had a lamb allergy and they brought out the meal with lamb. Sent back and they took the lamb off and gave it back. With only 2 bits of chicken and all the lamb juices still on. My moussaka came out 25 minutes after the other meals and was still frozen in the middle. Overall very bad. Would not go back.

My husband and I popped in here for an early supper and were blown away by the quality of the food. I had a cold meze with the best peynirli borek that I've ever eaten and he had a lamb shish. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. We were very impressed will return!!

Great food, lovely staff, I'll definitely be back

Had a very late lunch here with my friends on a Wednesday afternoon and we ordered two sharing platter menu items. One was a HOT meze platter with a grill platter and second was a COLD meze platter with a grill platter. All the meze and grill were delicious and we loved the fact that all the food was not over seasoned, as can be the case with some Turkish restaurants in UK. The service was great from the two waitresses that served us and the atmosphere is very welcoming and warm. Not to neglect, free parking up to 2 hours is right outside if you manage to get a spot. Great place!

What an amazing little place with a fantastic menu . The food it outstanding and full of flavours. It does get very busy but it’s no surprise. Definitely will be returning

Lovely leavers lunch. Great food, atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff

Lovely staff, tasty food, great prices!

Always good. Excellent Turkish mezze and grills on a proper charcoal brazier. Big portions. Solid cocktails.

The vegetarian meal I had was the tastiest I’ve had in a long time. And that was in a restaurant that actually specialises in meat dishes. The portions were so generous that I struggled to finish the food. The service was great. The restaurant has a lively party atmosphere. We’ll be back!

Thank you to the wonderful staff at Hattusa for your beautiful food and wonderful service for 13 of us at my daughter's wedding lunch. You were superb!

Probably the best Turkish resteraunt in the whole south east of England. Special shout out to the best calamari I've ever eaten. Highly recommend going for the sharing platters.

We have eaten here many times with our friends and the food has always been amazing with good service. We last visited in November 2023 for lunch with our friends. The food was delicious as always, but the service not so. We had a 3 course meal with drinks and coffee. We had been there for a couple of hours and was asked rudely but quite a solemn waitress who asked us to leave as they needed the table for another booking. It was not said in a polite way and found her very unprofessional. This has now put us off returning. Such a shame that one person can spoil your experience. We have decided not to dine there again

Met a friend here for lunch. The staff were quite friendly and definitely helpful. The food tasted pretty good, but I've got to say my portion was SMALL. It wasn't cheap either, and it wasn't very good value for money.

Food was great, staff in a slight rush to take plates though.

Looked so lovely when we walked in. As we passed the kitchen you could look in and see the huge long hot coal grill, massive. We sat upstairs, very posh. The prawns were amazing, served in a butter garlic and chilli sauce with flatbread to mop it up. We got a mixed grill between me and my husband and it was just right. The lamb was tender, the chicken was white breast and cooked perfectly, the shish kebab was so good, just enough rice and a crisp, fresh salad. The charcoal grill left a wonderful flavour on the meats and it was spiced but not too hot. Immaculate service. One of my favourite meals out for ages. Thank you Sarah for inviting us. Ten out of ten.

Excellent food. We tried chicken shish and chick kofta - both were really good. The kofta was exceptional. We ordered falafel too, which was not that great, but the chicken made up.

Very nice restaurant with friendly service

Just got a reminder to review this restaurant we visit a lot and we are currently on the way here again as I write this review. Amazing food. Lovely staff and will come back again and again.

Loved it and glad I chose it for my birthday. Beautiful decor, with friendly and attentive staff. Huge portions, great food, and well-priced.

Delicious food, excellent service, good atmosphere, beautifully presented cocktails. We will return.

Abysmal staff, was presented with attitude when arriving, attitude when one of our party members was un able to make it , attitude when eating. We was watched constantly like the staff where waiting for us to finish our food. The food came out with half the meat missing (it was the wrong order but staff tried to pass it off as the rest of our meat was coming.) It's a real shame, there is potential for a great Turkish restaurant but let down by staff who just can't be asked to provide even a little hospitality. My wife is disabled and it appeared that staff just did not have a care in the world about her comfort not that we are expecting to be waited on hand and foot but when our party member didn't show up we was basically being asked to move(we didn't but because we didn't the rest of our meal felt like someone was just hovering by waiting for us to finish ) The hostess is likely the key culprit in this as it appeared her lack of hospitality training was showing. Total disappointment Food was good but nothing to scream about, each to their own tastes so I can't complain about that, but a dining experience is more than the food on the plate, it's about atmosphere and service, the food could be garbage but with the right atmosphere and right wait staff, a dish tastes so much better ! Please hire some quality your customers will thank you and the rest of your wait staff will have direction.

Second time eating and really delicious, fresh well cooked food. Pay a little more but can see where the money goes and it’s the next step up in Turkish food! Will be back Best eat in Sevenoaks town centre by a long way

The lunchtime menu is fabulous value and also fabulous food. Definitely going back!

Located between the town and station this restaurant provides very good service and excellent food with a wide choice all cooked to order in the open plan kitchen on the ground floor. My preference is to sit upstairs and there is lovely area with cushioned booths and lovely light windows . God starter choice and the vegetarian options are all excellent , great for couples of a god group of friends . Reasonable price , excellent beer.

The food itself was delicious. The drinks service was poor but the one lady who was helping the owner out (can't remember her name) was excellent. We were on the ground floor and the front door was constantly open due to damaged door closure, get it sorted boss otherwise take your heated blankets!

10/10 I can highly recommend :D I ate the Vegan Hitti, perfect!!

Excellent food! Really well-seasoned, especially the lamb shish. Staff were attentive and restaurant has a lovely ambient. Prices slightly elevated but what you’d expect from a higher-end Turkish restaurant. Portions make it worth the price

Food was quite good and reasonably priced, but restaurant was totally lacking in leadership. On arrival a clueless waiter couldn’t find our booking on his list despite 2 members of the party already seated at the table. Starter missed off order, told it was ready but had to wait, drinks had to be ordered twice. Staff willing but not managed.

Very tasty food and great, friendly service. Large portions.

Great venue would highly recommend, great night out

Very nice restaurant, friendly and accommodating staff. Some of the food was amazing. Access is not good for less abled people, see photos of stairs to get up to the restaurant and then a further set for the toilet.

Eat at this restaurant. The food is delicious, well presented and well prepared - a treat. The service is smart and relaxed.I'm going again soon, once Xmas is out of the way. I took my doggie bag of lovely rice, bulgar wheat and super tender meats - lunch at work sorted!

Beautifully cooked halal Turkish food which isn't too pricey compared to places in London. The portion size was very large and the quality was amazing. I wish they had a few more non alcoholic drinks like mojitos but otherwise excellent.

Complete lack of ambience and some of the waiting staff were in dire need of customer service training Overall a completely underwhelming experience An apparently untrained waitress managed to knock a full glass of wine over one of our group The reaction was to hand paper towel to the soaked guest and invite the guest to mop up themselves - no apology!! The guest was informed that they will receive a complimentary replacement glass of wine. Well thank you very much but what about the soaked clothes, seat (no option of even changing the soaked chair!!) Can’t really say much more but needless to say I won’t be returning or recommending this establishment

Great to see Mediterranean food cooked and served so well. Delicious and varied menu choices, prepared and cooked to order. Attentive staff, are friendly, welcoming and very helpful.

Have been visiting Hattusa Sevenoaks for several years and the food was great as usual. The most recent visit had a significant change in atmosphere. We loved Hattusa for the reason that it was always a very relaxed atmosphere. The recent visit was very different with the whole service being rushed, from when placing the order to clearing plates, etc. It was made very clear that you were expected to order, eat and get out as quickly as possible, to the point that we were given 10min to leave. Just out of the blue the manager advised that they had a table booking in 10min. We wouldn't of minded if the restaurant was busy but there were only two other tables occupied with over ten tables free! If our specific table was needed again wouldn't of minded if we had to change tables or move somewhere else but the only option was to leave. Very disappointing to say this but we will not be visiting Hattusa again and could not recommend the restuarant any longer.

Food was quite nice, vriaty is good and the meals are really sufficient and filling. Staff are friendly and polite Recommended

Fabulous mojito ! Food was tasty, pretty restaurant inside and good value.

Lots of choice for vegetarians! All very tasty. Waiting staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Great food with the lamb dishes being the highlight. Service is friendly and attentive. The restaurant and surroundings are beautiful with a classy yet relaxed vibe. The price was surprisingly good for the high standards and I would of payed alot more. A must go to restaurant if in the Sevenoaks area.

By far the best Turkish restaurant I've been to in the UK. I am always here...it NEVER FAILS ME!!

Good as always. Although busy excellent service..

Have been many times and also had the takeaway service. Always consistently great quality, big portions, and lots of veggie options. Great ambiance and many a work do has also been had here.

Lovely food and great service...

Visited this restaurant for a family birthday lunch. We were seven adults snd two babies. Service was excellent throughout the meal. We had a selection of meze starters all were excellent. Mains, sea bass was excellent with a lovely grilled flavour, mixed grill very good too. Would highly recommend for a decent casual dining experience.

Lovely food and staff and service.

I go there every time I visit Sevenoaks :) Food is incredible and at very reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff

A great restaurant with nice food and fantastic service. All very reasonably priced - and big portions!

Friendly and great food. Also good value.

Love this place for their wood fired grill. Great place for meat lovers.

I've only been to the Tonbridge Hattusa before I went here and already knew I liked the food, but there's isn't a sit-down area at Tonbridge. The waitress we had was fantastic, sorted out drinks out pretty quickly, and then gave us time to choose our food. We decided to go for the hot meze platter. The sharing starter was fantastic. I've never really had hummus, but this stuff was amazing, and so were all the other items. When the main arrived, the meat was cooked to perfection, especially the lamb. Overall the food was great, the service was great and it was a nice little place to sit down, relax and eat a wonderful meal

Fantastic tastey food, great friendly service, beautiful decor. The only thing I would say is that if they gave mints with the bill would be the icing on the cake ;)

Good food with attentive/nice staff.

Delicious food , friendly service. I recommend 🙂

Great food and service, good quantities and reasonable prices. We will surely return. Just one note: the chairs are not very comfortable.

We ordered through deliveroo. Our first order of two vegans burgers...one was ok whilst the other was half the size...it seemed to be microwaved?? It was rock hard?? We were given credit so ordered again and this time received a burnt burger that was half the size of the ok burger and hard again...maybe not a good night for hattusa? We won't eat here again

Absolutely awesome, my favourite Hattusa

Deliciously tasty food, plenty of choice, good service and good value! First time eating here but would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Been here once before with friends and the food did not disappoint. Came back again since we were visiting the area. Once again the food was great, cooked to perfection although I would prefer stronger seasoning and flavours. Service was good and the team tried to accommodate us even though we did not have a booking. Booking would be recommended as this restaurant is busy.

Excellent. Met some friends after a whole year! Food was brilliant - will be back soon!

Group lunch, large table, but they coped really well. The food was superb!

8-Jul-22 first visit, and a number of times since. Hattusa is excellent. Staff are always delightful, the BBQd meats are really excellent, with fabulous flavour and always very tender. The various sides are always of high quality and the food is nicely presented. They do some good cocktails and have a wide choice of wine and other drinks. For a casual meal, I highly recommend it. Given that you do need to book, I just wish they'd do online booking.
