Best Turkish Restaurants in Lewisham

It was our first visit to Hazev, but it won't be our last. It was one of a very few restaurants in the area open on Christmas Day. The staff was friendly and jolly, as was the atmosphere of the restaurant, with lovely decorations and recorded Christmas songs being played. The Christmas menu was reasonably priced for what was offered, which was a sample of seven starters (humus, tabbouleh, tzatziki, aubergine with tomatoes, filo with spinach & feta, falafel and deep fried prawn) served with freshly baked bread and a choice of one of six main courses. We enjoyed all of the starters. The deep fried king prawn was my husband's favorite and I had a hard time choosing a favorite because I liked them all. We ordered the kofte, which was a generous portion of two skewers of lamb mince and the Hazev special, which was a generous serving of tender, succulent and deliciously seasoned lamb stew on a bed of the most heavenly concoction of aubergine with cheese and bechamel. I savored every bite. For dessert we were served two bite sized pieces of pistachio baklava which made a perfect end to a wonderful meal. Their menu is brimming with other delicacies I look forward to trying. Thank you to the Hazev staff for making us feel welcomed so far from home on Christmas Day.

Great food, great staff. Will be back again soon.

the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. while i was waiting for my main course i was given delicious bread and humous. i chose the chicken pide as my main and chocolate cake as my dessert. both were delicious. i was tempted by one of their mocktails, but ran out of time before a matinee at shakespeare’s globe. i’d recommend this restaurant, especially if you’re attending the globe as it’s only across the road.

Have been several times. Great location. Staff very nice and friendly. Very good service and food delicious. Altogether a very good experience. We were a group of four but most tables were larger groups on Christmas celebrations but this didn't change our enjoyment at all. Will definitely return

Lovely lunch as always! Great service and value for money for London - my favourite Turkish restaurant
