Wazir Restaurant in Redbridge

The manager, the waiter and the joker First time going, went with a friend of mine Food was great and the restaurant wasn't too busy either The manager ensured we were seen to by the waiters throughout, one particular waiter had very good service, friendly and smiling Then there was the joker, some waiter with white/grey hair - kept making inappropriate and bad jokes, he even said to us that he's been told off by the manager for joking too much but he can't help himself Note to management - either fire him for bringing down your restaurant's reputation or give him a final warning, he is doing no good for your amazing restaurant

good food and nice service mashallah tea very delicious

Took two hours for food to arrive for a pre booked event, only four servers for 250 people, unattended table and list goes on. Avoid this place if you are thinking of a large group booking.

I took lunch in there they charged me 21.30 instead of 13 lunch menu.

Great food, slow service though.

Splendid dishes in affordable rates and exceptional service by friendly staff . Must visit 👌✌👍💝

Shout out to the amazing manager at wazirs, we had miscalculated out individual totals , and ended up paying £24 less, but because we had to wait for some time before the bill arrived the manager waived the remaining £24 , this was a very good will gesture and we all appreciated it very much : )

Truly desatisfied with the quality of the meat. Deception at play with food. Far too much rice on the plate, which is an absolute waste. Food isn't piping hot either! Just about warm enough to eat. Spent £70 for 3 people. Absolutely waste 🗑 of money.

Can’t decide which one as the worst- food, service or atmosphere! The manager was such a bully, he was picking on each staff constantly! A young girl was crying from the manager! Food was really poor - we ordered a platter for 4 people, but it was very poorly served and contained not so much meat. We entered the restaurant and left the place no one greeted us and not said good bye. I so would not recommend anyone to go there .

Yummy food. Definitely ordering again

A poor excuse for a Turkish restaurant. Feels like a large canteen. Found the restaurant to be quite patronising eg you are told in the menu, 'tap water not served'. Waiting staff were brash and poorly mannered. We walked out before our food

The food taste was very bad. I didn’t feel right taste.

Everything is very expensive and I was charged service charge TWICE!! I didn’t study the receipt till I got home. Won’t be returning.

I was visiting my family in the area and they are regulars and say how amazing it is so we went Saturday evening. Didn't start off very well with a not very nice parking attendant, I was in quite a big car with my mother, baby and niece and according to him, I wasnt parking correctly but I did not understand all the hand swinging and waving about. When I did park very close to the next car, my mother couldn't not get out and we definitely could not get the baby out. When our male family member arrived in his car, this attendant couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating. My experience of the actual restaurant, did not disappoint. All staff were friendly, the restaurant was big and bright and food was AMAZING. Despite parking hassle, we had a lovely time and definitely will return if I'm back in the area.

fantastic food once again. Thank you!

Turkish gimmick.... poor service and quality

Went for dinner with some friends, we had two different sharing platters with some salad and bread with dips. The salad was quite small but the bread was refilled once for free, which was appreciated. Food was good, the waiting staff were friendly and funny! Nice atmosphere. There is a mandatory service charge of 10% and no tap water is serviced, both very strange.

The quantity was not commensurate with the cost. Bit pricey.

Great big restaurant and happy to pay the prices for the dishes...until we tasted them- tasteless and menu not properly thought out. Mainly dry dishes. Nothing cooked like a casserole or curry to eat with bread. Doing burgers and english breakfast as well- not a real Turkish restaurant. Mocktails are a joke..simplest mohito for £7 - half (yes half) of a small can of red bull, lots of ice and two mint leaves. should be half the price. Will not visit again. Sorry.

I called to ask about parking and the person on the phone hung up on me. Was very rude, definitely not going there.

This place is a shambles. Tables were dirty and sticky, atmosphere whilst seems like theyre trying comes across tacky. Food is average at best and definitely not worth the price in comparison to other similar cuisine locally. They don't serve tap water which is quite odd. Having visited this place and given it a chance 4 times now, I won't be going again. Baffling how this place is so busy (might be the free car park which is the only thing going for it!)

Fantastic Dining Experience I recently visited Wazir and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was cozy, the service was attentive, and the food was exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, Perfect for any occasion.

Special thanks to Najmah for making a delicious 😋 breakfast. I just loved it 🥰

I had Wazir signature breakfast. Like Turkish Khvalti. I asked them to substitute halloumi with hash browns, which they did. Very nice, plentiful, and nicely presented. However, a large flat plate would have been better as it wasn't easy to pick food from various small and large bowls. Mushrooms, hashbroens,olives sausages and cheese very very very good quality However honey wasn't honey, rather some honey looking syrup They gave a side of salad and sauces I didn't need to eat the while day after that, and I have a big appetite

Food was about to delivery at 19:55 -20:05. At 20:05 I can see my food is delivered, but actually my food is delivered at 20:30 after calling the restaurant three times. I am very unhappy with my order. My food. became cold..

Got the jumbo platter for £49.99 for 4 people tasted the same as all Turkish restaurants so nothing special just average. Waiter was in a rush it seemed like to take our order and kept coming every 5 minutes - not necessarily a bad thing but should observe that we were still in discussions of what to get. There was only a few pieces of bread given as usually most Turkish places give a lot more. Mango lassi tasted average. Waiter seemed a bit funny when it came to removing the service charge and almost tried to give the impression that it is some sort of mandatory option and directed us to get up go and go towards the till for this removal.

The platter tasted good, meat was a little chewy. It was expensive for the amount given- more rice than meat but overall decent food.

Always check with their server to repeat what u ordered. Such a snicky cunning place. I was simply talking about the tea with my other guest, it's enough for the server to include it in the bill for all three of us. I am thinking it's free like some Turkish do. Carrot juice £9 konofa dessert £9, service charge for terrible service. The girl just avoids looking at me even when she knows i am calling her.

Fantastic donor, much improved from my previous visit!

Excellent food and good taste. Best place to eat in the ilford area.

It was the worst experience we ever had. The menu said lamb platter is for 3 persons, but the portion size was so small that a single person could barely eat to their fill. The quantity of rice was already less, but they put bread in it underneath rice to fill that small plate. Also, they charged 4 £ additional service fee other than food charges. 🙄 I'm never gonna visit again. Sultan is way better than them food taste, quality and cheaper. 😬

A good place for Indian Pakistani Cousine

Honestly, this seems more like a desi/pakistani restaurant more than a Turkish restaurant. The food wasn’t nice I left and I also told the waiter the food isn’t nice. She said okay. She cleaned the table while I’m drinking tea and was slamming the sauces on the other plates. Price wasn’t bad. The place need a good clean.

We went for a family meal on a Sunday night. Service was not good, they had a big group booking and waiters were attending to them. No notice was taken of us. It seemed like they did not have enough staffing to cover the big group and other customers. We had to go up and ask for the bill and pay the bill. No complimentary Turkish tea offered (which is a usual for Turkish restaurants and Wazir). Also they don’t give tap water! Would not recommend due to service.

I recently dined at Wazir Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with the flavors and quality of their dishes! Here are my thoughts on the ones I tried: Lamb Soup: A hearty and comforting start to the meal! The lamb was tender, and the broth was rich and flavorful. Perfect for a chilly evening. Lamb Shawarma: Absolutely delicious! The lamb was juicy and flavorful, and the shawarma was crispy and well-assembled. The tahini sauce added a nice creaminess. -Dessert Heaven in a Jar: Wow, just wow! This dessert was incredible. The layers of creamy custard, sweet caramel, and crunchy biscuits were absolute perfection. A must-try! Overall, I was blown away by the quality and taste of the food at Wazir Restaurant. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. Pros:Delicious and authentic Middle Eastern flavors, generous portions, excellent service Recommended for: Anyone craving authentic and flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine. Don't miss the lamb shawarma and dessert heaven in a jar! Let me know if you'd like me to modify anything!

Very good food and delivery I recommend

Really lively food have ordered more than once

Like the fact that always have good portions- the food, salad and sauce. Worth the money and the food is always good!

Mariam is a star,very professional and helpful. The stuff is very friendly, food is great and great atmosphere!!! Highly recommended for friends and family!!

Go and visit Wazir. Great food and staff are so friendly. Thank you guys 👍

Staff is not friendly and cooperative.

I honestly don’t know how this place hasn’t got 5 stars from everyone. The food is always delicious. We brought all our family this time and they fell in love with the food too. Everything is always perfect and that’s hard to find in a restaurant these days. The meat is always so tender and delicious. Please don’t change anything Wazir.

Not really good experience, the service is really bad , when I called the waiter to order my food he saw me but completely ignored me, when he finally came and ordered he took like an hour to give me my food even though there was not that much customers, I found hair in my food and nobodyb cared about it

Quite disappointed from this place. Service was nothing special. They brought us wrong order, didn’t check back if everything was fine and no tap water (which is a must by the legislation). Asked for a big bottle of water and the waitress said they have only small ones when we saw on the other tables. Also, they add service charges which is not optional?! Never heard that before tbh. Won’t suggest this place.

Excellent kebab excellent service. Very good stuff.

Very poor service there we’re no big water bottle and without mention the added service charge. Price was high compère to other Turkish restaurants.very disappointing that they serve old bread and very little amount.

I received Old bread and in less quantity. They stolen 13 £ saying charging charge. Received old salad with bad smell.

Delicious food and very friendly service here i would like to mention Khadija she served us she is so welcoming she took the service to the next level God bless thank you and regards

I was finding difficulties since i wasn’t used to their cuisines but Nima was very helpful by providing me with samples to try and was very kind, friendly and humble too. Definitely coming back due to his great customer expertise.

Food is good but gone high with the passage of time

Very nice food, but the restaurant is extremely noisy since they closed half the tables in the back and made everyone sit close to one another.

Food is good but quite expensive then before anyway if you like Turkish style food you can try

Worst ever, taste and service. Nothing is value to money.....

Low quality dishes. Today I ordered a Turkish meat dish - Lamb-shish, they brought meat mixed with sliced ​​flatbreads in sauce. 30% meat and 70% bread in sauce, this is not shish and definitely not worth £16. 👎👎👎

I dont want to put 1 star which affect for the business !!! But over all experience really bad . Food over prices plus added 10% service charged . Ordered zumbo plater portion are really small dosen’t come any ribs and salad they gave which is good for one person not for 3 of us . Where their others turkish harman , Sultan way much more better …. !! Wont come back anymore .

Great food, very tasty. Service was very good, nice atmosphere, free parking at the back. Only problem is they charge 10% service charge on receipt, they said it's optional when I challenged it. They should be more clear about it, as most people pay it without realising.

Delicious food, excellent service, very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Fabulous place, love it. 🥰 with love Nina❤️

Exceptionally amazing experience, I cannot expect in that price an amazing hospitality and such an amazing food,the way breakfast was presented, I can bet , you cannot get that anywhere else in the area. For Best Turkish, Vegetarian and English breakfast this is the place you must go.

Extremely impressed with this restaurant. The food was amazing, cooked to absolute perfection. Lovely, friendly service. It's great to find places doing it this well. I will definitely be back.

The home made juices were over priced and the juices were watery. The mock tails was watery as well. Food was overpriced and not up to standard.. There was a fly in the restaurant and I wasn’t very happy 😡

Fantastic food, superb service, and friendly staff. We would definitely come again.

Visited with family. Ordered Adhana platter and meat soup. Food was fresh and delicious. Friendly customer service. Our experience overall was excellent so a little surprised to see some poor reviews on here.

Tonight I went to the restaurant with my family and the quality of the food was great and the service was perfect and big shoutout to Nima for the best service👍👍👍❤️.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Grilled Delights and Relaxing Atmosphere! Wazir is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic Turkish cuisine, especially grilled dishes. The moment you step in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance. The grilled food is simply exceptional—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly satisfying. Whether you're enjoying tender kebabs or deliciously seasoned meats, each bite is a delight. But the experience doesn't end with the food. The back cafe area is a serene retreat, perfect for unwinding with a shisha and a cup of aromatic Turkish coffee. The setting is cozy and beautifully decorated, making it an ideal spot to relax with friends or loved ones. The attention to detail in both the decor and service is top-notch. Wazir is not just a restaurant; it's a full sensory experience that leaves you wanting more. Highly recommended for a fantastic meal and a memorable time!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Wazir, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant is a perfect blend of elegance and warmth, creating an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel at home instantly. The decor is tasteful, with subtle touches that reflect the rich cultural heritage the restaurant embodies. The star of our evening, however, was the impeccable service provided by our waiter, Ali Tehrani. Ali went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we were seated, his attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine friendliness set the tone for the evening. He had an extensive knowledge of the menu and offered excellent recommendations that catered to our tastes perfectly. Ali’s timing was impeccable, he was always there when we needed him but never intrusive. His warm smile and courteous manner added a personal touch to our dining experience. Each dish was presented with a detailed explanation, making us appreciate the culinary artistry even more.

Ali Tehrani Great job, always professional and kind :) Your positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile for customers is appreciated. Thank you

I loved their food and it was delicious!

We visited Wazir with my children as we usually have take aways from this place and have been fairly happy. Unfortunately it was lacking in cleanliness in our dine in experience as we had flies flying around our food, plates and cups had dried particles of food, the tables were quite oily and it seemed that the place needed a deep clean. A young boy who served us was very professional in delivering the service however another staff member was still chewing food when she came to collect the finished plates. I have visited the place a few years ago with family and friends and we were quite happy with overall experience however it seemed that the place is deteriorating and needed a renovation. The food was ok for my children as per me I had a lentil soup and made me feel quite sick and couldn’t eat anything for the day. Sorry that I had to leave this review but if people do not share their thoughts and experiences change may not happen.

Family environment very good service Thanks to maryam( blond hair) And shoheb

We actually visited their sheesha section they have a family section also, sheesha starts from £25 and they have a variety of menu for non veg lovers not much for vegetarians or vegan i suggest, a cozy place to visit with bunch of friends We ordered some shakes, pizzas, sheesha and yes if you want you can buy your booze and sit and drink as they don't serve alcohol their ask for Ali tehrani nice dude with decent service and very polite Visit this place if you wanna chill out for some hours as they are very good at serving Cheers 🥂

Had the Wazir Traditional Breakfast which was amazing. Took me back to Istanbul. Huge plate of food served with Turkish tea. Najmeh served us and was very polite and attentive. Will definitely be going back again.

Food lacks taste. Didn't really enjoy for the price i paid

Amazing place, Food was amazing and the staff are equally as good. We visited the area for work and we found this place far to late which is a shame. The first order was chicken shish and chips and my God we loved it. The next day we ordered 1/2 cheese burger & cheesy chips and another chicken shish and chips and whilst we waiting to takeaway the front of house staff offered us to sit in the actual restaurant and make ourselves comfortable with some complimentary Turkish tea and Turkish delight. Highly recommend you visit them for a quality time and meal. Thank you

Foods good, clean , good quantity. Also good customer service actually I like, ❤️ I recommend but i didn’t recommend completely or paid Turkish tea because it’s normal black tea. Who didn’t knows the flavour of the Turkish tea maybe they like it but who knows the taste of the Turkish tea they didn’t like it.

My food came too much salted i couldn’t eat, and the bread was old like gum and stone

Went to watch England finals in their sheesha lounge, staff were disorganised the moment we walked in, we reserved a table of 4 online and they couldn't figure what table they had booked us and I gave my name 4 times and they eventually sat us at a table. Once ordered, they bought our platter before they even gave us bread or salad to nibble on and there were no individual plates or cutlery present either so we just sat there with our pile of food for 5 mins until we called someone over to bring the missing stuff. We then asked if they can bring the sauces too and also requested cacik and hummous, after asking 4 times at every 5 mins intervals or so for cacik and hummous we gave up and towards the end of our meal, the waiter then came over apologised for the delay and said its really busy and the sauces will come. We then pointed out the obvious empty platter and asked what on earth are we now going to do with the sauces and clearly not happy with how comical this has been handled so we were given pot of Turkish tea as an apology and the sauces would be removed from the bill. At the end of the evening to add further insult, they demanded service charge and pointed out the free pot of tea we were given, we very politely told him to f'off and told him to remove service charge and he then said we will charge you for the pot of tea instead and became somewhat hostile and stormed off to amend the bill and returned, we explained the Turkish tea was given without any charges or conditions and they always offered Turkish tea with the few occasions we have come to dine here, again he stormed off and eventually gave us a bill without service charge and pot of tea. I wholeheartedly tip but their service was even worse than England's performance.

Dined here last night, service was diabolical, waiters arguing amongst themselves, openly swearing at each other, management arguing over the cash sales. Kitchen team shouting at the waiters, i was in shock! Food was average. Will not be returning at all.

I recently visited to enjoy Turkish kebabs, but I was disappointed. The plastic sheets on the tables had photos of ice creams underneath them, which were incredibly irritating and distracting, especially when you're trying to enjoy your meal. The bright colors made it hard to even look at the table. Moreover, the service charges were unacceptable and felt unjustified given the overall experience. I will definitely not be returning. But All the best for you guys especially the staffs are excellent.

This place is really packed all the time. but the moment we get in they gave us a seat immediately and bring us a menu. the stuff is really polite and care about all your needs. The only complain is about one of the kebabs. I’m not sure what it is but it could’ve been more better. Other than that, this place is a jam. everything else was perfect.

Over priced and food was really standard. Service charge mandatory and when questioning the manager at till, was rude and started to haggle the cost. I let him know to remove it or I'm walking out. Then he agreed. Tap water not given and charge near over £2 for one bottle. I would not recommend.

Advertised the lunch menu for £12.99 and when I went to pay the bill another £1.30 was added as service charge. I told the staff member that you should mention this and he said we can charge whatever we like. It’s not about money but the principal and they shouldn’t falsely advertise this if they going to charge extra

Nice food and good service. Highly recommended.

Best Turkish joint in Ilford. Reasonable prices.

Wife and kids, wanted Turkish food, so i decided to give Wazir a try. I was served by a young gentleman at the tills (didn't get his name), who exceeded my expectations of the place. Beautiful food, excellent fast service, and best Turkish tea. (Free) To cut it short, "ALHUMDILILAH", Wife and kids were very happy with their dinner.

Neat and Clean, excellent taste and humble staff

I asked for 6pm as my mum need to have her Carer there. so coming 30 minutes early was not good at all. she than had cold food as she had to wait for the carer to sort t out!!

Hubby and I were going to eat at an Indian restaurant but accidentally came across this lovely place in ilford on cranbrook road. The restaurant is large and will be able to accommodate wheelchairs and prams. We got here quite early, just before lunchtime and were directed to our table by our friendly server. The restaurant is beautiful and has a rustic Persian/Turkish deco. Absolutely ideal for couples and families. We were served with complimentary Persian breads, dips and salad. I could have eaten more bread. Hubby ordered Chicken Shish Kebab (Tavuk Sis), I ordered veggie lasagna and chips. Hubby stole my chips. We ordered still water and mango juice. The food was delicious and the portions were big. So if you are a light eater be prepared to share your food. Our server and the rest of the staff were friendly and polite. The prices were reasonable. We will be going back to try other dishes. This place is highly recommended.

Overall good prices are slightly higher also they add 10% services charges,

I've NOT received my order Driver lost. Direct to Knight Ward please.

I have not received my purchase ! and this came up before i rceived anything!

The food quality was one of the worst I ever experienced. We were fasting and this was the meal we broke our fast with and honestly, despite staying hungry all day, I struggled to eat this rubbish. we ordered the Persian platter for 2 people. they gave half cooked kebabs, filled with fillers (just plain white rice with some oil) and some old salads. It was blonde, and not spicy at all (despite clearly mentioning this in order). Honestly even if I am paid to eat , I would refrain. AVOID!!

Ordered jumbo platter yesterday my senses are very much heightened as im heavily pregnant, the lamb cutlets were foul the smell was horrible within 5mins of eating was violently sick so were other members of family who later ate!!! Food was presented nice n delivered on time but some bits of meat were definitely off waste of £55.99

Very nice food and excellent service. Will definitely be coming again and again 🩵

Awful place. Dont waste your money or time here. Went as a group of 8 for breakfast. The whole order was messed up and they ruined our entire morning. We waited ages for the food and then when it arrived it was all wrong or missing, a few people didn’t even receive their meals and we cancelled them. The ones who did get their food got completely different things, eggs missing, hash browns missing, vegan breakfast sent with Eggs and Halloumi! Vegans cannot eat this!!!! Plus olives missing. The waitress just dumped the food on the table and when we asked what meal it was she shrugged her shoulders and gave us a dirty look. We questioned anyone who we could see but they all seemed so confused and were passing the blame to one another. Asked to speak to a manager but no one wanted to come forward. At the time of the bill all they did was remove the service charge. I had to go up to the till and individually explain what was missing. To be fair it still was not worth what we paid. The excuse was - sorry we are busy, too many breakfasts… Sadly will not be returning here again.

Wazir absolutely the best in Ilford!

Food quality and test is awesome.

The food was absolutely delicious. We wanted to swap something in the platter for something else and when I called the restaurant they were so accommodating and so polite and well mannered. Great food and service.

Wazir is a beautiful restaurant their food quality and prices can be improved. It's a nice place to dine in still.
