Hazev in Tower Hamlets

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.

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.

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!

We had dinner as Antalya Chamber of Commerce and Industry council members on March 19, 2025. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. We would like to thank the business owner, Müge Hanım and all the staff. 🙏

Thank you to Müge Hanım, very caring and helpful. Super. Delicious. Beautiful. Fast. Recommended.

The environment is spacious, the place is very nice, the food is great👏🏻💕

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Very bad place very rude people

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.

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

(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

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.

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

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!!!

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

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

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.

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.

Good food, super cool location.

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.

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.

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...

Iskender was so delicious… Highly recommended especially if it is your first time with Turkish food.

Manager was appalling. He was dressed in a white t shirt and wore glasses. The moment we walked in you could tell he did not want us to be in the Restraunt. We had a booking for 9:30 and arrived slightly earlier. In a rude tone and voice he said bookings should be made the day before. If this was the case why were we able to book a table online? A few people walked in with no reservations and were sat down with no issues. This was the same case for a couple who walked in afterwards where they were seated with no issues. However the waiters who served us were lovely and incredible. The treatment by the manager did overall ruin the night.

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

Good food, attentive and friendly staff. I will definitely eat there again.

Only one place where u can try real Uzbek Plov!!!!! So good

Mixed grill great, manti great, kunefe great, this place does not miss.

We enjoyed tasty Mediterranean dishes. Quantity reasonable, Quality premium!

My first visit to this restaurant which was a great experience The food was fresh and delicious with generous portions and very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was plenty of seating inside and spacious enough to have privacy. I took away some baklava which was so fresh delicate and delicious. I would highly recommend a breakfast lunch or evening visit.. A fabulous place that can cater to large numbers with amazing food The latte was one of the best along with the Turkish chai my son enjoyed. I will be going back again.

Amazing food and a very pleasant atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it!

Great place with gluten free options. You can say you are coeliac and they will be very careful (prepare everything separately etc). They don’t have gf bread but they will give you veggie sticks.

The food came cold it had to be warmed up Tasteless

Comida impresionante, servicio rápido y amable. 4a vez que hemos estado aquí en el transcurso de unos años y nunca estamos decepcionados!

They tried giving us a more expensive menu saying if we sit in that area that was d menu but d table next to us had different menu with much more choice & better prices (the one U see online) they gave us the more choice menu once we asked bout it so all good. Other than that nice place, great view 👍

Very nice atmosphere and high quality service ,in addition food is so tasty Everything is perfect Thanks to all

The manager, a Turkish gentleman, said that the food was Halal. There are Turkish cuisine options. Appetizers and meals are delicious, prices are very reasonable. I would recommend.

Not so good food, too less quantity, too much expensive

Amazing couscous. Polite staff.

Loved it. Perfect portions, fair pricing, it’s the quality for me 🥰 I’ve got stir-fry ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and my partner had mixed grill.

Thank you very much Hazev café very good service thank you ibo 🫶🏼🙏

Very nice restaurant. Very nice food highly recommend it

Amazing Turkish food right on the water in the middle of Canary Wharf! Probably the best setting combined with an really tasty food. Had a great experience with a large family.

I loved the area and the restaurant, very kind team, Mr. Ibrahim the manager his very kind and very well welcoming and deliver immazing service. I am coning always here, my other home.❤️

Shocking don’t do it. When you get an applying meal the worst Turkish ever.It was disgusting service from the waiter I had in my life. Just waste of money. we spent £65 for nothing.Very disappointed. also very poor customer service. I wouldn’t recommended anyone in this restaurant. The waiter was so rude. He made the mistake of not explaining himself properly about the bill and then tried to put the blame on us. Overcharging us.As we entered the restaurant we didn’t feel any welcoming reaction from the waiter. He was rude and instead of apologising and trying to resolve the issue he was telling us not to come to the restaurant! I wouldn’t even go there even if someone paid me!!! Also there’s a language barrier, I suggest the owner should hire people that can speak proper English! The waiter is short.. speaks broken English and have a goatee don’t waste your money in a place like this… 5 years anniversary date got ruined!😡 😡 we would have come again because of the food and atmosphere. But do to the poor behaviour from the waiter. We wouldn’t go there again. Also the waiter rushed us it was near closing time but we checked in 9:30 and left 10:30 because of his rushing.🤮🤮🤮🤮

I just love it here. I often stay at a hotel next door for work and Hazev is my favourite place to eat, whether alone to work late, or with colleagues or friends. I just took my partner there for his birthday too. No matter the occasion, I've always found staff to be warmly welcoming, super professional, and friendly. The food is delicious and thanks to staff recommendations, I'm now a fan of Turkish wine.
