Hazev in Tower Hamlets

Business lunch. 10/10. Best to book ahead of time

just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you and your team for a fantastic experience during our recent visit yesterday The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was full of flavor and clearly prepared with care. Please extend our compliments to the chef! On top of that, the customer service was outstanding. Your staff was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We also want to apologize for staying later than expected. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, and we truly appreciate the hospitality, even as the evening went on. Thank you again for such a lovely time. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Pleasant atmosphere, courteous service. The dishes are good although below what I expected for the price. This trip did not completely take me to Türkiye even if it was rather quality

It's my first time in the UK and I was visiting with 2 friends the day before yesterday and everything was great, the food was great, the service especially Mr. Ibrahim was very friendly, the service was hospitable and top notch

Excellent restaurant. Good staff, great food. Took my mom here while she was visiting and she loved it as well. We went for the mixed grill and manti (lamb meatballs pasta - was delicious)! The bread was also excellent and they replenished it for free. The food is also halal which was great. They made one small mistake with switching out the couscous with bulgur but they quickly gave us an extra portion on the house. will definitely be back again. Bonus there was free parking on the road nearby, 5 mins away. Edit 2025: just went back for my wife's bday. Everything still great and Zaam the owner/manager gave us free dessert for the kids and my wife. My 3 year old was also quite ancy so he gave us bread asap with free hummus. We order hummus kavurma, manti, mixed grill, fish and chips, borek. Massive shout out to the owner Zaam who made the experience excellent.

Yesterday we been with my friend! We have a really good dinner ! Food amazing 👏 🤩 service good.And atmosphere 👌 thank you for everyone !

It's a great spot in Canary Wharf for authentic Turkish cuisine. Ibrahim is such a lovely host, we would like to thank him and the team for an amazing breakfast experience. ☺️

I went there 3,4 weeks first time ago lunch big place and wasn't busy waited few minutes someone to approach us then I asked sit window side waiter said no very quick he showed where the 2,3 tables sitting squash together no privacy and asked politely again in big empty restaurant seems like they don't care Customers wish and we walk out.

Delicious Turkish food in a modern restaurant. High quality ingredients. Great ambiance and decor. Good service. River views. Mantı, börek, mousakka, baklava and kunefe are highly recommended!

Incredible tasty food! Great selection on menu to satisfy all and good portion sizes too. Great value for money despite the higher prices but worth it for the flavours and tastiness of the food. Great ambience in the restaurant too and lovely Riverside location, perfect for a date night and was nice to try something new!

very nice place. beautiful location. you can have breakfast and admire the water. beautiful restaurant

Anatolian food is excellent, the interior is very nice and calm, the owners are very friendly and sincere, it is the first place I come to whenever I come to London, and it is also a nice restaurant.

Had an amazing experience at Hazev! The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special shoutout to Ercan and Burak for their outstanding service, they were super friendly and kind. Can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely fantastic experience at this Turkish gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a memorable evening. Portions were generous, prices reasonable, and the ambiance felt both authentic and cozy. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy traditional Turkish cuisine at its finest. Will definitely be coming back!

Nice, good portions for reasonable price. There’s a good bakery and coffee drinks.

The atmosphere is superb, complemented by warm wooden furnishings that lend a cosy and welcoming feel. The ambience is delightful, the service attentive and professional, and the food truly exceptional – beautifully presented and full of flavour. All of this is offered at a very reasonable price. I would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

the service was not bad. But there is a trap in the menu and at the end they charge you more… Waiters should warn about this in advance.

Great food great service and atmosphere We loved the food so tasty

Really liked the experience, the cafe is spacious and welcoming. Conveniently located with a courteous team.

Sadly, my last visit today to Hazev Cafe after many, many happy hours over the years (retirement!). Thank you to everyone who makes Hazev the best coffee shop in London, and possibly the UK. ❤️

We had a wonderful experience. Food was upto the mark. Portions were adequate size. Staff was very welcoming. Order was served on time. Price as expected was on higher side. Very nice atmosphere with good seating arrangement, clean sitting area. Toilets were bit dirty. Definitely recommended.

Visited Hazev with my husband for Iftar and it was impeccable. Friendly, attentive and good service, delicious food (best tabuleh salad I've ever had!) and pleasant atmosphere with good crowd.

The atmosphere of the place is very pleasant, the pasta surprised me, excellent preparation to the point and a flavor TOO good!! 🤤

The food is absolutely amazing. From the bread to the delicacies and desserts. One of our favorite Turkish places in London!

The food was disappointing and not worth the price. Portions were small, and despite arriving for iftar, my meal was served an hour late. We were fasting and expected better service, but the experience was frustrating. To make matters worse, the staff—especially one of the ladies—was rude. We definitely won’t be coming back.

The atmosphere is spacious, the place is beautiful, the food is great👏🏻💕

Thanks to Ms. Müge, she is very caring and helpful. Super. Tasty. Beautiful. Fast. It is recommended.

We had dinner as Antalya Chamber of Commerce and Industry council members on March 19, 2025. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. Thank you very much to the owner of the business, Ms. Müge, and all the staff 🙏

Some of the best Turkish food in London, the service was amazing, the staff were polite and the food was served pretty quickly. Would definitely recommend!

I definitely recommend it. The food is amazing, the service is fast, the team is friendly. If I come to London again, I will definitely visit again.

Rarely ever leave reviews, but Hazev is my favourite place in all of London to go to. Never gets boring, great location, awesome service, decent food, desserts are top-notch. If you are looking for some Turkish cuisine, try their Turkish Baklavas, and have a lemon with tea. Eren abimize selamlar :) P.S. Hazev, please get shisha as well if possible, would be an icing on the cake if you guys did that.

Outstanding service and food. Thank you Eren!

Ate here last week with colleague. Food was very flavoursome , but unfortunately the mains were not hot enough, they were cooked but had cooled down before serving, drinks took a long time to come.

Worst food i had in my entire life!!

Atmosphere is great but food is way too overpriced for the quality. The taste was meh and beef was too dry. They seem to be related to Tas chain, but Tas is better food wise.

Attended here for a work lunch, nice and spacious, food was delicious with plenty of choice.

As expected, pricey but good food. Great location by the river. Interior is really nice. Lots of place and private booking available. I got the grill palate. Service needs work on. We went for a 6pm slot after work with work colleagues. There was one waiter across three different “parties” so quite slow especially in taking payment. Had to wait 5 mins to get the bill then pay.

I never leave reviews anywhere you can check my account but this place is so cute and the service is so good. The people are kind and the food was very good 10/10 would recommend!

The quantity is very less almost like tapas , you need to order a lot of different one to fill up your stomach. It was better before

There is a very rude girl working there who is racist. I asked her a question, and she answered me sarcastically. I even heard her tell her colleague that if they wanted a full breakfast, they should go to another restaurant, and she laughed mockingly.

I have been a frequent customer of Hazev since 2016, eaten both at the cafe and restaurant sections. I have noticed a decline in the quality of the restaurant section over the years and I am preferring eating at the cafe side ever since. Even the price of the tea is more expensive on the restaurant side which is a bit illogical and food is much higher quality in terms of breakfast- lunch with the amazing dessert and pastry options. Other than that tho, the premises are very clean, amazing location and view as well!

Attended a Business Buzz Networking event and stayed for food and coffee after. Service was first rate and food delicious. A great venue with relaxed atmosphere, we will definitely be back.

Top restaurant in London. Other restaurants should learn from Hazev how to do this! I stayed in London for two weeks and ate here nearly everyday. Next time in London - also Hazev!

Ordered plov , but they gave me half of Portion . half empty dish. Big disgrace in front of my guests .

Looks nice and the staff were friendly. Not sure what the rest of the foods like but damn, that was the blandest dryest falafel wrap I've had since I was 16 and went to kebab king. Try adding some tahini, a few more pickles, more than a teaspoon of humus and you'll be on the right track.

Very good Turkish restaurant! It was my first time visiting the place despite having passed by many times. The service and food were excellent!

I entered the venue with my dog, ordered food and was about to start eating when the guy approached me and said that dogs are not allowed. He blamed me that i should have asked when i entered the venue and this is halal place. There is no sign anywhere indicating that dogs are not allowed. I dont even mention that they dont accept dogs as creatures that are created the same God that they believe and call themselves “halal. I was with my friends and i had to leave because of that. They have not even apologize and just refunded the food. Total disappointment, avoid that place!

Thank you for the delicious dishes, we ate very well - everything is delicious, the dishes are beautifully served and the prices are small

Had an amazing meal with me being vegetarian the food was outstanding . Had a wonderful evening last week a party of 15 . Food was hot , generous portions . Service all round was exceptional . Hats off to the chefs , I don’t live in London but next time I’m over I’m sure to be back . The staff were very friendly and did really look after us . Thank you so much see you again soon.

The restaurant always seems to have great vibe around it and is full of customers from breakfast till dinner. So, we got curious to try it out. We came for breakfast, I had lentil soup and menemen (Turkish egg dish with tomato), and we shared mezze (starters). Food was delicious, however, after the visit all four of us got terrible food poisoning (I was ill for a week and almost got into hospital). So, clearly hygiene standard needs to be investigated at this place. I also don’t remember the last time I got such bad service as here. There were two workers on the early shift serving three tables, and they came to re-confirm our order twice, and even despite that and despite us waiting for over 40min, they did not get our orders right from the first (and even second!) time 🙈 Lots of room for improvement!

On holiday in England, dinner on Christmas day. Being from New Zealand, lamb, and mutton are our thing. Our expectations were high, hoping the lamb would fall apart at the touch. Unfortunately, it did not. So sadly, we were left disappointed. The venue was pumping, and the vibe was electric - we loved the experience and atmosphere but felt let down by the food.

Visited here many times, always get a pretty good meal. Not too pricey.

A down-to-Earth unpretentious establishment. Very attentive waiting staff, happy and smiley. Cuisine is Middle Eastern, with Turkish nuances, obviuosly. Or, as one may call it, Mediterranean. I would say, it's a Middle Eastern cooking. Original flavours, basics are in place. This is what it's all about. Nothing not be liked. Yet, it's not a sophisticated cuisine. Everyone in your party, regardless of numbers, will be pleased.

i was so in love with everything!. the food was really delicious and the price very good. the location especially was so amazing

It was self service. Not bad, quite place and relaxing. I have ordered pastry and not sure if they have some other options for meal s main course. For short term meetings and dates or so it's perfect, can't say more for something else. Good environment and nice place. The service can be improved and the payment can be improved with options for cash payment. It's only available for cards and contactless payments, which Is NOT convenient. (I wanted to pay cash, although I had funds in my card). Also, found it a bit expensive as for one small piece of baklava (pretty much the size of one bite) and piece of kadaif with tea have paid £11.00 which I think is expensive.

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, broad range of dishes on the menu

Was a lovely evening. Food was lovely and atmosphere is very nice of restaurant. Parking is a bit of a pain on Saturday but I guess that’s expected.

Very bad place very rude people

Fantastic place. A must visit to when on or around Canary Wharf. Don't believe the 1* review by someone, absolute rubbish.

The place is huge, and has very good decor. But the food is quite below average. Did not find anything I ate particularly delicious. Also, even by Canary Wharf standards, this place is quite expensive. Add to the mediocre taste the high prices I would recommend to avoid this place altogether, unless you are too desperate to eat anywhere.

(Food~) The food was very tasty and delicious And they provide hot drinks and desserts (Services -) The Service they are generous And they are amazing with customer service (Atmosphere -) The Atmosphere was a great place And amazing

The chicken tenders value is embarrassing. The beers were good though. The service was very good. It’s buzzing on Christmas Day here.

We came in Christmas Day and even tho the place was pretty and it looked busy, the prices were extortionate expensive for what we got. A Mediterranean platter ! Let me describe it to you. 4 pieces of tomatoe 4 pieces of cucumber 1/4 not even that of avocado Mini bowl of honey. 2 very small pieces of cheese, 4 pieces of rocket and a mini bowl of olives. I was shocked as I thought I was going to get fed. But no way, I ended up ordering omelette which it was tasty thanks God. So if you come to this restaurant please Avoid ordering this Mediterranean nonsense as it was not good ! If you are the owner of this place or the person in charge of the menus pls BE HONEST and tell people that that specific platter is a rip off and that they will need to spend more as they will go home hungry. Very disappointing….

Unfortunately I cannot leave a review for the food. The environment seems nice... unfortunately the service is non-existent. Given that we hadn't booked, we went aware of a possible wait (the restaurant was actually busy). At the entrance desk they told us about a 20/30 minute wait and made us sit at the bar. At 45 minutes I asked for updates (which were not received). At 60 minutes and after leaving several pounds at the bar, I changed restaurants. This is no way to treat customers. If there is no room, we say immediately, so as not to make people wait unnecessarily. If it says 30 minutes it must be so, otherwise it's just a rip-off. As said: really bad service.

A decent dining experience in s great location overlooking the river in canary wharf

I am rather glad that this gem has not blown up on Tiktok and therefore the atmosphere is delightful! I visited to celebrate a friend's birthday, table for two and the staff was sweet, friendly and most importantly attentive. They even served us with a slice of cake at the end! A pleasant surprise. Please do not ruin this place for me by raving about it on Tiktok!!!

We had lunch in. Turkish restaurant. We found the food and service excellent. The meat was particularly tender and tasty. Top service too.

Breakfast..... Cold food. Watery tea No refund offered.

Got the lamb shank with mashed potatoes, delicious👍

Really enjoyable team lunch. Starters where great along with a tasty mixed grill

Great service.Thanks to Chef and Mr.Ercan.Lovely food excellent servıce.we defınıtely wıll be back.

The desserts are amazing, well done to the dessert chef!! 😊 The desserts are amazing, thank you to the dessert chef!! 😊

If you’d like to relax with some börek, tea, and a nice view, I recommend it.

Very good cuisine, friendly service

The restaurant was literally empty and it took almost an hour to get our food 😭 and the food wasn't even good. It was bland. We were so disappointed

Food could be a lot better for the price

I really enjoy the deli for lunch. Very tasty, healthy menu options, friendly service and plenty of tables.

We were new and just visiting Canary Wharf and was spoiled for choices but we chanced upon this Turkish spot along the South Dock and fell in love immediately. We are great fans of Turkish mezzes and it's been months since we had a spread of those and we went in to get some together with raki and it was simply the best! The servers were very polite and accommodating, and regularly check in on us if our orders were satisfying. It is truly a large sprawling establishment but the side we were on was quieter and truly what we needed after a long day treading through the crowded bits of London. Thanks for this and we hope to come again the next chance we visit Canary Wharf!

Unfortunately I booked a table at this restaurant via their own website but the restaurant then cancelled the booking with no explanation. When I phoned to ask why they had cancelled the booking they put the phone down on me. The second time I called I got an answerphone. I have given up.

We was 4 people altogether and I can say I was not pleased with the service and the food. The prices were reasonable for the area, nothing to say about that all no problem but one of the waiters that took our order did not take my allergies seriously at all which I think is a big problem. I could of have a serious reaction, very dangerous and risky. I kindly asked him at the start if there is any Onions inside the Lamb shish dish for any sides such as salad or rice or anything else and he said no. Turns out there were onions inside the couscous salad. Maybe he did not know there was any onions inside the couscous salad but he could have at least written a note on the system that there is an allergen such as this etc etc. Other than that the other waiter which I think was the manager, took my plate and came back with chips on the side. But until that all came back the food was absolutely cold. A discount could have been made or service charge was expected to be taken off but none of that was taken into consideration either. We will not be back.

Had a very tasty breakfast. U was going to travel into central London for a Turkish breakfast but fortunate to find this place.

Lovely place, good prices, diverse food, meat or vegetarian, tasty. The sweets and the turkish coffee are delicious. I recommend it.

Went there for a lunch, lovely restaurant, with friendly staff and food was tip top.

I had brunch at Hazev yesterday with a group of 15 friends. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. There were quite a few options that I considered but I chose to have the English Breakfast. Each of the items were delicious. In particular I liked the sausages! I had a taste of the halwa and halloumi cheese that somebody else had ordered and they were very tasty too. The mint tea was out of this world!! The service was organised by Mouget. She was attentive, made recommendations when requested and had a very happy presence. I regularly visit the cafe but this was the first time I dined in. I would definitely return for breakfast/brunch/lunch or dinner.

Good food, super cool location.

Great quality genuine Turkish food, great friendly service on the cafe side. Totally recommend some classic like lentil-soup or poaca, less so the menimen.

Very cheap coffee and tea. And very comfy chairs

The place is nice and the service is good. Unfortunately, the food is not authentic Turkish, nor is it tasty. I ordered the iskendar kebab and it tasted nothing like the original. Bits of meat and regular bread, in a bland tomato sauce. Will stick to green lanes next time.

I have been living nearby for almost 4 years now. I recall buying sweets or sandwiches for takeaway and the price was at least, if not lower than, HALF of what is now!! Perhaps the UK inflation is not applicable to this restaurant… I can only think of taking advantage/abusing of things being more expensive nowadays. I just turned up recently after 2 years; maybe I will revisit again in 2-3 years from now when hopefully it will have closed.

Loved the food and service as well as the atmosphere

A great Turkish cuisine restaurant! The food is very delicious. The service is top-notch. All the waiters are doing a great job! We were served by Tokhir. He is top👍 Thank you so much for the wonderful food and the excellent staff!

Hazev is a beautiful turkish restaurant, located in the most beautiful and serene part of London, canary wharf, I walked from my hotel till Hazev and I will never forget how serene the walk was and topped it off with delicious, flavourful food from Hazev. Iskendar kebab, kofte, falafel, mix platter, hummus and the ambiance were all top notch!

Excellent food and dining experience. There is some parking in the side streets a short walk away which happened to be free at the time due to building works going on. Nice views out of the window with a lovely cosy family atmosphere.

As a visually impaired person, I loved this place, especially Ms. Müge and Mr. Tahir were very interested and helpful, they were also friendly and all the employees were good, they were friendly, it is a stunning place, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who comes to London.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere.

I had a 60th birthday celebration held there which was a success... Would definitely recommend them, as the staff were extremely helpful to make the evening successful...

In a good and beautiful restaurant in Canary Wharf, we had a good time and the food was really good, the only flaw is that I find the starters a little too expensive, but this is my personal point of view because I am used to restaurants in Italy

Great Turkish food, nice service. The only thing missing is that they don’t do lahmacun :)

Great location, awesome food, stunning service, reasonably priced, just a great evening out all round. We all ate a lot more than we planned to, but the restaurant team were extremely accommodating with menu changes and also with prayer space. It felt like visiting friends...

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right here.
