Havet Turkish Restaurant in Tonbridge and Malling

Delicious food and a lovely, relaxed atmosphere.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, friendly service from the staff from the start as a walk-in. We opted for chicken shish and lamb adana with a side each. Slightly small portions for the price, but high quality and delicious food which we enjoyed and filled us both up. We will be back!

Really enjoyed this place. It was a little quieter than last time I visited which suited because we could have a conversation. Mixed views on the food, I really enjoyed mine, others thought it was just OK. I think menu is unnecessarily confusing. I'm sure i'll go again,

Good restaurant, very consistent a bit pricey

Over priced kebab shop, we ordered starters of which took a long time to come out, within a minute of the starters coming out the mains come out and plonked on the table of which the meats were barely Luke warm. Prices have gone up a lot and quality is down. Atmosphere is like sitting in a noisy food hall in a shopping mall. Won’t be going again. Complete rip off and very poor service

We eat here often and away have a good meal. Great please to eat with a great atmosphere.

Packed night but still A+ service throughout the night. Food was amazing but couldn't eat it all. Staff boxed and bagged up for me to take home and enjoy later.

Food is fresh, tasty and delicious. Recommend the lamb shish, but everything is good. Highly recommended!

Consistently great food and service

Beautiful delicious food, cooked and served perfectly! Friendly staff!

Lovely food, nice friendly service not pushy or chasing you out, even though was busy.

Decent meal. Excellent lamb and chicken dishes. Good childrens menu also. Service was friendly.

It was my first time here, the food was tasty, and the waiters were very pleasant and helpful.

Absolutely superb. Great service from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, really nice chilled atmosphere and fantastic food. Highly recommend!

It's a place where delicious cuisine meets unparalleled hospitality, creating a dining haven in Tonbridge. Darryl & family

I’ve been a regular at Havet for a few years now, but sadly, the restaurant has changed quite a bit recently. Over the past two years, prices have noticeably increased while the food portions have shrunk. The food, while still decent, isn’t as flavorful or satisfying as it used to be, which is disappointing given the previous high standards. Service can also be hit or miss, especially when it’s busy. On some visits, the staff have been attentive and helpful, but other times, it feels like they’re overwhelmed. That said, the team seems genuinely friendly and wants customers to have a good experience, which is appreciated. I’m hoping they can regain some of the magic they used to have, and despite the recent changes, I’ll likely return in the hope that things improve.

Delicious food at reasonable prices 👍 The restaurant itself is very lovely, toilets are clean as well, highly recommended

Great place to eat, lovely food

Delicious food, great atmosphere and very attentive service. Loved it

Only marked down as it was noisy not there fault lovely evening fish was perfect

Great service & excellent food 👌 highly recommended 👌

If you are visiting Tonbridge and you want to have a good meal you cannot miss Haven Restaurant. We had an absolutely enjoyable Lunch today. We have been welcomed by Nedjo. His attitude was so welcoming, friendly and very helpful with choosing the food. Food was absolutely delicious and although I like eating in Turkish restaurants, Havet chilli sauce is unique. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. For the owners: There are many internet providers that offer fiber connection. You should try a better internet provider. Also, I tried other turkish that offers draught beer, it would be amazing if you are introducing this along bottled beers that you already have.

Alcoholic drinks were too strong especially the cocktails otherwise all good

Excellent food good service as usual all round very professional

Although there seemed to be plenty of people coming in and our the place seemed soulless. Our waiter didn't really seem to want to be there and wasn't very welcoming. Although he was polite the first dish I chose, he said all the sauages have gluten in. As i didn't know it was a sauage how would I know! Eventually settled on a lamb dish, it seemed very bony, wished I'd had the chicken shish, which my friend had, it looked really good. Havet should look at changing the menu to indicate gluten-free, vegan, etc, without people having to ask. The best layout of a menu I've seen was in Granada. The menus have numbers next to each dish, which corresponds to a list at the bottom of the menu. For example, 1 is nuts, 2 is gluten, 3 is shellfish, and so on. it's much easier to know what to avoid.

Always good quality food. Staff are friendly, the restaurant has a good family friendly atmosphere.

The best restaurant in Tonbridge, for choice, service and quality. The staff are fantastic, the food is delicious and the drinks menu covers everyone's preference. The portions are generous and any remaining can be boxed up to take home. We opted to order our desserts to take home for later as so full from dinner. Simply perfect.

Everything was amazing here! The staff, the restaurant, the atmosphere and the food!

Extremely disappointed with order, ordered saslik and shish lamb combo. Order had a couple pieces of meat, but majority of order was onions……. Our local but really disappointed today.

Had a lunch time visit it was quiet, and peaceful exactly what I wanted at lunch. It has been a while since my last visit. The menu has changed and isn't as much value as it has been in the past. The food however remains delicious. I will be back. The staff were attentive, although not busy so it was as expected.

Amazing food and a lovely service

Very good food, coming from a Turkish person myself. Waiters were very friendly and the atmosphere was great.

Absolutely FABULOUS food!! Hummus and flat bread extraordinarily good. Great staff 👍.

It was ok food was good but expensive

Fantastic food and friendly service, always good to go with an empty tummy as portions are hearty. 😁

BE AWARE OF FOOD DELIVERY Always enjoyed eating in Havet so we decided to try a takeaway for a friend's birthday ordered through Uber...Never again took much longer than we were told, the food arrived very late and on the back seat of a car (Not in a container just loose bags) the man was lost we had to find him then he spoke no English so he was unable to call me to find out where we were. The food was stone cold. This was a big order for 9 people. Unfortunately most of the food was unappetising due to being cold and most of the ribs were inedible as they were fatty with very little meat, but apparently this is normal for Havet this was their reply to it ...it is not uncommon that for the lamb ribs to be fatty, this is quiet a fatty cut of meat. (Had I been served these in the restaurant I would if sent them back.) Be aware you pay Uber so Havet are not interested (I called them immediately) finally after many conversations with Ub er they refunded £50 . I did not feel this was enough as most of it went in the bin. I am not prepared to waste anymore time on them so I have to accept it. I just wanted to make people aware

Really big portions! Tasty food! Order carefully or you will be taking home a doggy box! Almost every customer I saw leave, including me, with a doggy box of food they couldn't eat. Only downside is it's not exactly a quiet location so not a place for an intimate meal.

delicious and wide range of food, lovely atmosphere and great service. would recommend!

One of the few places that serve Halal food. Great atmosphere. Nice food.

Lovely friendly place, good with families.

Usually we eat in the restaurant but I’ve had surgery so unable to get out so thought I’d try JustEat. There was an issue with my order, quick call to Havet and it was all sorted out and super fast. Yummy food, great quality too. Thank you to the lovely Havet lads for sorting the issue!

We had a nice meal Friday evening. It was very noisy until 10pm then better.

Neco and Orhan who is the manager has straight offered a free table in the busy restaurant and I'm glad when they are around because they got my order straight and quick, delicious food with lovely and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for the experience.

It arrived which was a vast improvement on the previous two orders 👍

Never bothered to deliver I think it's more an issue with the App

My family had a really lovely dinner there tonight. We all have disabilities and nothing was to much for the staff - and the food was great. Carry on the good work 👏

The wife and I had a meal here last night and evening was nothing but exceptional the staff were attentive the food was beautiful we were not bothered at any time or hurried to eat and finish our meal all food arrived hot and tasted lovely staff were very polite on entering the restaurant and noses were filled with goodness as the food traveled the whole length for the restaurant we was greeted straight away and seated our table promptly the restaurant was lovely and clean we will be visiting again 10 out of 10

Had the hot meze and some extra spicy fries. First time we had visited here. The sharer meze was definitely worth it. So many different taster dishes and certainly filling. All of it was very tasty. Would definitely come back

Great restaurant, great food, great service and great location. Beware - massive, delicious portions!!

The best Turkey 🇹🇷 restaurant in the area. Actually I could rate it as the best restaurant in Tonbridge. Service - amazing, super friendly and very keen to help. Food - be aware the portions are very big. We could take home what it was left (probably about 1/2 of the food). Atmosphere - really pleasant.

Good solid Turkish food. Service a bit rushed. Great atmosphere.

Food is always of a high quality and is the best Turkish food I have found in the UK! All the staff are friendly and attentive. Also, they do an NHS discount too which is a massive bonus! We eat here often, their lunch and dinner menus are brilliant. I have also done their bottomless, which was very generous with the booze!

Friendly and helpful service. Lovely food. Thank you

The food was delicious with good size portions The service was quick and the staff all very friendly

Amazing food and lots of it and local beer was really nice I would for great place to catch old friends and family

Great value for money, we had lunch and it was perfect size and the quality was very high and full of flavour. Staff are very attentive and full of smiles. Definitely will come back.

It was extremely busy as we weren't aware there was an event on the high street. We were seated quickly. Orders taken quickly food arrived and was amazing quality as normal. I always highly recommend havet

Was meeting up with family ,great night ,highly recommended 👌

Food very good although my starter was rather bland. However restaurant very noisy. Difficult to hear what person sitting next to me was saying. Unfortunately has always been noisy

First time and it won't be my last time.

Excellent Turkish restaurant. Good quality food with a wide variety to choose from. Will definitely go again and would highly recommend this place for people looking for authentic Turkish cuisine.

Beautiful ambience, great service, handsome waiters, and oh, the food is sooooo superb! I had the Elbasan Tava (lamb) and it was unforgettable!!

Visited with friends and kids in October half term. Food was delicious - especially the sticky toffee pudding! The service was very good too. It’s a little pricey now but we really did enjoy the food!

Excellent food and service. Good value for money.

Simply the worst restaurant I've been to in Tonbridge, worst service I've received in Kent, don't even start on the food

Very busy but staff remain cheerful, friendly and efficient.

We recently visited this restaurant to celebrate Nannies and Grandson’s birthdays, a family of 4 adults and 2 young children. We have frequented Havet 3 or 4 times a year as the food and service is excellent and in the past was reasonably priced. But I am sorry to say that I feel that I have been fleeced. Unfortunately, I did not check my bill before paying and on reviewing I find a ‘suggested’ 10% service charge added apparently because of the size of the party. There are also 3 ‘Extras’ (£13) on the bill which the only extra we can remember was a bowl of chips for the two-year-old. The food and service were excellent, but at £154 for 4 adults and 2 small children whilst two of the party were driving is excessive. We may return as we like the food and atmosphere (noisy), but future visits will be restricted and I will certainly be scrutinising my bill in the future. There are many excellent eateries in the Tonbridge area, Havet is no longer at the top of our list.

We like to try different places but we're lucky to have this on our door step, very family friendly, great reasonably priced food, cocktails are too good lol.

Absolutely amazing. Could not ask for any better!

I've been here many times, in fact it's my favourite place. I've never had a bad experience

Firstly, I do visit here 3-5 times a year. Recently, I have been x3 in the past 2 months for meet ups etc. we usually book a booth if we can get one. On arrival, all happy to greet you. After that it is pretty much downhill for service! I can’t work out if this is because we are in a booth and forgotten about or just bad service? But since the booths are situated by the waiter’s station, it can’t really be that. They come around very sharp for drinks. Unfortunately, the four of us ordered a bottle of wine, by the time our food order was taken and arrived, we ordered another bottle, as it took so long (good for them). After the main meal we waited over 25 mins for plates to be cleared and then had to wait a further 10 mins or so until we got the attention of a waiter, to order desserts - which had jumped up to between £7-£9. So we didn’t bother. It then took another 20 mins on top to try and catch the eye of a waiter for the bill. This was lunchtime and by no means busy (midweek). The food was great as always, but service is poor. This isn’t just once, seems to always be happening. The friendliness seems to end after the order. They had put a £15 tip/service charge on the bill, which fortunately was spotted before we paid. And no, we did not leave a tip, as every time to us, the service is poor. When you get great staff, you get great tips. Sadly these waiters have all worked in there for a long time, and good service seems to appear on how often you visit!

Great food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. One of my favourite restaurants

Food was too good. Though a bit noisy place. Good portion size. Spicy rice is really tasty, lamb doner iskender is must try.. it’s huge portion wise.

Good food, nice people, great location.

This is my favourite restaurant to go to and to take family or friends. I love the food and the staff are always friendly, fun and excellent! I love the special touches they give for birthdays 🎂 🥳

I was a little concerned that there wouldn't be many vegetarian options for my daughter and I when we visited Havet in Tonbridge with friends. We decided to go for the Meze options and they were so good. We shared 5 between us, including a cous cous dish and there was so much food that we took some home with us. Each dish was delicious and beautifully cooked. It's a big restaurant and I imagine when it's full it would have a buzzing atmosphere. We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend the Sosul Patlican (aubergine and peppers in a tomato sauce), Helim Izgara (grilled halloumi) Peynir Borek (feta and spinach filo parcels) and the Humus - all scrumptious.

Wonderful food and fantastic service. Will definitely visit again.

Went for dinner, food was lovely and the staff were cheery and helpful

The food here is excellent and good value. Great cocktails also ! I like how they give you table water and keep that topped up. Varied menu and available in combos with 1 or 2 sides. We were a party of 6 and all enjoyed their meals . Would recommend

Service was a bit slow as the restaurant was absolutely packed. The only problem is it's quite noisy. Good excellent. Would definitely recommend Havet.

As I told the man the best kebab I ever tasted and I always tell the truth.The only reason wasn't excellent is the loo,decor ok 1 sit down loo and water around near stem on floor. Service good but all male hence reflected in tables place needs a woman's touch .the little decor little things. Having said that second to none n I'm 51 best kebabs I ever did taste.If the burger was derived from after a long process roast beef;now I've tasted the "where street kebabs "original is from. This place will be known for England's best Turkish if it isn't already. Can't wait to go back

We popped out for a spot dinner on a Thursday night, though we didn't book it didn't seem to matter though the restaurant looked quite busy. The menu seemed large and varied and the waiter was quick to take our order. unfortunately that is were the quickness ended, we waited nearly 50 minutes for our food and not one waiter even popped by to check how things were even after we got our food. The meat was nice but the sides uninspiring. A yogurt would have been nice. We had to almost hunt down a waiter to pay and when he took our dishes away he spilt some food on the table, then walked away without clearing it up or apologising. We found the restaurant noisy and hard to hear each other.

I fantastic food and friendly service. We had the hot meze platter to start which was more than enough for 4 adults followed by mains with rice and salad. No room for dessert! Friendly pricing too. Will definitely be back.

Excellent, genuine Turkish food and beer. Good sized portions, of meze, kebabs and sides. Friendly waiting staff.

We find ourselves in Tonbridge (for a friends wedding on Saturday). This restaurant gets good reviews on Trip so thought we would give it a try. There is a good reason it gets good reviews, great service and fantastic food. Go and give it a try, you won’t be disappointed I had a lamb shish and it was the best lamb I have ever had. The fruity, nutty bulgar wheat was also marvellous. Great smoky fries and lovely hummus

Extortionate prices, used to be a favourite of mine but it is just too much money. Good food though and nice waiters.

We regularly attend Havet for our Turkish craving. I've been to many Turkish restaurants but nothing has came close to Havet, we come here monthly since they opened and it's the consistency of service and great food that keeps us coming back. Keep up the great work and look forward to dining again soon.

Ordered our meal at 2.10pm, at 2.50pm we asked where our food was as we hadn't received it. Me: how long will our food be please? we have school run at 3pm Waiter: Who took your order? Me: You did. Waiter: I've lost it. Me: We've got to go now, we can't wait. Waiter: Go then. No sorry or anything.

We love Havet so much. The food is great. Staff is great. Service is always impeccable. We love it here!

We went to bromley for a birthday meal it was our first visit and it was amazing although very busy we didnt wait long food great service great definately recommended Our server was Florentine who was cheerful helpful and made us feel valued and made our experience one to remember

Great food especially the starters. Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced . The lamb pastry things for the starters were my fave.

Amazing food, the aubergine cream is a must to try!! Nice cocktails and super kind waiters, thoroughly recommend to visit

Whst a fabulous place. A bit diff to some of the regular Turkish restaurants. So tasty. Friendly staff great value for money. Thank you

Our go to place for a meal, brilliant food, fantastic service and atmosphere. Introduced a very fussy eater to the joint this evening and he could not get enough. Even cleared my leftovers.

Had heard good comments on Havet, so thought we would give it a try, Friendly welcome on arrival, and good position at a window table. Good menu, clear and easy to follow, with something for everyone, All in all ok, only downside was lack of...

Overrated noisy and crammed place. Food is average and portion size small for the price. It’s basically a kebab shop which got famous and had space so thrown tables and chair in the place. The only positive was the staff who served us.

We were very much looking forward to visiting based on previous reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed. The restaurant was not overly busy and we still found the service very poor and not attentive, we had to keep getting various waiters attention so we could...

Pretty Basic and nothing special. I paid a visit based on the hype and got a take away, the chicken was cold and salad in the kebab to my taste looked unappealing and unpalatable. Won’t be going there back again

Good quality food, ambience is great, a tad too expensive for grill meat. Other choices in Tunbridge Wells to choose from ...

Hi I ordered a takeaway today (Sunday) very disappointed, I normally sit inside to eat ,but due to my mothers legs playing up ,I ordered 3 combo meals 2 chicken shish ,1 lamb shish,2 bulgar rice 1 chips ,Costing £45,I was shocked that ypu stuck...
