ANGEL (MAY 2006)
Haz Restaurant as good as being there
Turkish Cousine is renowned for its use of fresh ingredients, but unfortunately a trip to the turquoise coast is not always an option. Luckily you can sample the next best thing. Haz Restaurant serves delicious Turkish food, reflective of a simplified, yet refined, approach to taste with ingredients that are purchased daily to ensure freshness, quality and a premium experience for their customers. Then team at Haz Restaurant understand that every guest's experience must be an unforgettable one, so prepare yourself for a comfortable, caring and relaxed environment.
With a range of hot starters, vegetable dishes, grills, mixed maze and seafood specialities on offer, you are sure to find something that takes your fancy. If, on the other hand, you find it tough to choose a dish, then take advantage of their special menus offering an exciting mixed bag. The wine list, boasting choices from different countries, perfectly complements the food on offer. It may not be Turkey itself, but you can see why Haz Restaurant is a very popular venue for Londoners and beyond.

"A stone's throw from Liverpool Street", this "energetic" ("noisy") modern Turkish restaurant offers a winning package of "fresh, simple and tasty" food, "super" service and "light" and "airy" setting; the set meals offer especially "good value".
TIME OUT LONDON 2006
In line with many modern City restaurants, Haz appears very impersonal. It resembles a well-pointed canteen, with lots of glass, wood and white paint, and large communal tables in rows accross the room. A high white ceiling contains a bank of small spotlights. This is no place for an intimate date.
Nevertheless, service was efficient and the food of an exceptional standard. High-quality bread and olives were brought instantly to our table. Zeytinyagli dolma (rice and pine nuts wrapped in a vine leaf) made a gloriously fresh and tasty starter, while homous kavurma combined an over-smooth homous with well-done strips of lamb.
To follow, kulbasti, a tender lamb escalope with oregano and basmati rice, was excellent. We also relished the fener baligi (monkfish with pear): rich, beatiful and worth the indulgence. The house vegetables, spinach and potato, were lightly cooked to maintain their flavour.
A wide variety of desserts includes the decadent Turkish favorite, armut tatlisi, and the less common variant, fig tatlisi. Haz is often busy, with a noisy, upmarket City crowd. We recommend it.
