Ziyaret Restaurant in Chelmsford

I had a proper dinner with lamb ribs, some cold and hot mezes, a couple of beers. Paid £34 and worths every penny. You can taste the high quality ingrediants when you keep eating.

Incredible meal and service. Friendly owner who was more than happy to accommodate 6 of us for a walk in. 12% service charge is steep but this is explained before ordering your food and isn't just hidden and added on at the end. You get the quality you pay for in Hanci. - Will be back next time i'm in the area for certain.

Have visited twice since September & had a lovely meal both times! Found the waiter very helpful , polite & good timings between courses! Would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant!

No good. Went as a couple had a lovely meal. Starter and main each and a couple of drinks for £90. They added on £2.00 for the extra chilli sauce we asked for and a 12.5% service charge for two people. Will not return.

My family and myself had dinner at The Hanci Restaurant on Tuesday evening. We ordered Baba Ganoush, Hummus and Halloumi & Mushrooms for starters. Chicken Shish and Ali Nazik for our main course. The food was both generous and delicious, we struggled to finish our dinners. We would like to extend our thanks to both Shenner and Arthur for making it such a memorable evening. We'll definitely be going back there again.

Joke of a restaurant. Booked table for Saturday 25 for 10.30 which they confirmed with an email.Arrived about 10.00 only to be told the kitchen was closed. I showed the manager his email and he responded by saying he called me to re book it for 8.00 😂😂😂. Upon checking my call list surprise surprise no phone call. Paid 40 pounds in a cab to get there for nothing. The manager was a proper idiot trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Never booking here again. Maybe they should learn how to run a restaurant first before opening one. Far better Turkish restaurants about.

A group of us visited this restaurant after our Turkish holiday was cancelled. The service was outstanding, very attentive through out the evening. The food....just amazing, lamb chops to die for and so many served up, but also all the little touches you have, the tea and coffee served with Turkish delight (if you have been to Turkey you will know what i mean), down to the cups you served them in. I have been to all the other Turkish Restaurants in Chelmsford, non come close to Hanci especially for its authenticity. Hands down the best in town!!

Thanks to Shener and your team for looking after the 17 of us this evening. Great communication beforehand, stylish restaurant, authentic food, beautifully presented, enough bread to sink a ship and really friendly servers. Catered for all our dietary requirements and made the whole process of ordering beforehand really easy. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend!

The food here is really top notch , tasty and very fresh . However the pricing is way off beam . Six pieces of baklava for eleven pounds is ridiculous. Such a shame as now my friends will not return to this place .

Nice restaurant and good food and wine. We had tarama sulata with warm bread as a shared starter and then Marinated lamb mince grilled on charcoal, wrapped in bread, tomato sauce, and a Chicken kebab. All well cooked and the chicken was nice and moist with a charcoal flavour. Wine was excellent and the whole thing reasonably priced. Service was lovely and we, and the table, were looked after throughout. No hurry, no rush, just nice to get back to eating out again so do go and try it

Really lovely food. Lovely people. Felt like a holiday trip to Turkey. Well worth a visit. Top Turkish food with spot on flavours and we didn’t even eat the meat! Recommended! Well done Shenar and Peter!

We went to Hanci restaurant is 💯 clean n health food staff friendly nice polite n grateful to help . We will back again 🤝👏💯

The food was excellent and very tasty. Service however could be improved - little things that really make a difference like clearing plates when not all of the party had finished eating & laying cutlery with the eating end

Saturday evening dinner for two. We were warmly greeted and service was friendly and attentive throughout, without being intrusive. The Manager/owner was only too happy to describe menu items to us when we asked, and the quality of the food was exceptional. Re Covid protocols - staff wore masks when taking orders and bringing food to table, and tables were well spaced. We felt very safe. Will definitely be back.

For our first couples night out since the start of the first lock down this proved to be the perfect evening. Staff were attentive, food was fantastic and a really nice airy feel to the Turkish interior. Thank you we will be back

Had such a lovely meal with my fiancé here last night. Food was delicious and gorgeous fresh cocktails which we’re made in front of us. Excellent service, despite being busy. Social distancing and additional hygeine measures in place and well executed. Thoroughly recommend this place.

This place has definitely gone down hill since changing from zirayet. The bread that came with the takeaway was stale, the chips were unseasoned and everything was just dry . My partner ordered the mixed grill and said there was nothing wrong with it, it was just average. We both agreed we wouldn’t be ordering from here again.

We came by chance on the EOTHO programme and loved it. Tonight we popped back and were equally impressed. The calamari is the best we’ve had locally and the service is so friendly and professional.

Myself and 5 others attended Ziyaret restaurant for a meal last night and were left very disappointed. We ordered a meat mezze to share between us, and upon tucking into the meat, we realised that the chicken wings were not cooked properly, and mainly raw! At that point we had unfortunately all eaten some of the un-cooked meat.
