Hazev

Hazev is one of those places that quietly wins you over — and then suddenly you’re planning your next visit before you’ve even paid the bill.

The food is proper comfort done well. The moussaka was rich and comforting in a “someone’s mum really knows what they’re doing” kind of way, and the lamb shank? So tender the meat basically gave up and fell off the bone on its own. No fight. No drama. Just vibes.

And then came the kunafa… crispy, syrupy, dangerous. The kind of dessert where you say “let’s share” and immediately regret inviting anyone else.

Service deserves a special mention — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without hovering every two minutes asking if you’re enjoying everything while you’re mid-bite.

I write and review food over on Your Food Fantasy, and this is genuinely the kind of meal that reminds me why I love doing it.

All in all, great food, great hospitality, and a lovely spot in Canary Wharf for a relaxed, satisfying meal. Come hungry. Leave happy. Possibly loosen your belt a notch.

Highly recommend.

It was a truly wonderful experience! The meat was exceptionally tender and practically melted in the mouth. They also provided complimentary fresh bread. Furthermore, the starters were just as delightful as the main courses.

The sütlaç I had for dessert was absolutely mouthwatering. It was such a light and pleasant treat. The Turkish tea was also quite good, though perhaps it could have been a bit hotter, but otherwise, I have no complaints.

Additionally, they thoughtfully provided a space for prayer upon request, which was incredibly convenient and allowed me to enjoy my stay without rushing.

Been to Hazev many times and never fails to disappoint.  Had mixed meze starter, mixed grill main and Tricele Caramel for dessert  with a virgin pina colada.  The mixed grill kebab and chicken was succulent and great flavour.  The Tricele was a great way to finish, the milk adding a lovely bit of flavour.  Must go for anyone looking for a Turkish in Canary Wharf.

Wonderful place for Mediterranean cuisine! It’s right on the water, in a great location.
The interior is elegant. It has warm lighting, velvet seating, and nice background music.

The server was wonderful. Very friendly. Very attentive.

The menu is large. It was difficult to decide what to order. In the end I ordered the calamari as an appetizer and my husband ordered the falafel. The calamari was tender and delicious. The falafel was pretty bland. I’ve always had it served with tahini. This was served on hummus, but the hummus was also pretty bland. I would not order that again.

For our entrees I ordered the Masukka and my husband ordered the sea bass. The Masukka was delicious but I bit into a small piece of gray plastic. I told the waiter and he apologized profusely and removed the Masukka from our check and insisted on giving us a complimentary dessert. My husband loved his sea bass. It was excellent. I had a glass of Sauvignon blanc with my dinner. It was lovely.

After our waiter removed the Masukka our bill was £73.

I would return again. The food and service, ambiance, and views were wonderful.

Come for birthdays and celebrations!

Staff were super friendly - we had a birthday party and we brought our own cake. They kindly stored it in the fridge for us until desert. We also had a “Party” light stand and they also allowed us to use it! I’ve gone to many restaurants that won’t allow us to do this, therefore for this reason alone, come to Hazev for any celebrations.

The restaurant is huge - lots of tables of any sizes. It wasn’t full when we were there on a bank holiday evening. so I’d like to think you can probably find spaces on most days.

Food wise was very good. We just came back from Turkey so we were keen to try this. Some dishes were even better than the food we had in Turkey. Best dish was the Hazel Special with Aubergine Cheese sauce - that was so good.

All meat on our menu is Halal. We do serve alcohol.
