Excellent takeaway service in current climate... Mixed grill platter is amazing!! ........ Brilliant local restaurant serving up some tasty dishes. Tender and delicious meats . Tried the mixed grill which was perfectly cooked and excellent value for money. Good selection of wines and bottled beers. Restaurant is clean, with nice decor and some seating booths at the rear. Staff friendly, attentive and professional. Fairly priced menu. Parking relatively easy.

Superb! Great food ( especially the mixed grill), and a very warm, cosy, welcoming service from friendly staff. I have been here with my wife and family before several times and certainly will return in the future. One of my many favourite restaurants not only in my local Sidcup but in the whole of London and the South - East. Monday 30/5/22. Revisited the HAYAT TURKISH RESTAURANT with my wife & youngest Goddaughter. The decor, layout, and refurbishment totally uplifted and further improved ...as with the cosy outside seating under cover. So attractive, modern, spacious, and clean inside. Staff & owner the very best in hospitality 👍, the food absolutely delicious...memorable! We are very lucky to have this top restaurant in Blackfen, Sidcup. One of my favourite restaurants! Thanks for looking after us, we enjoyed the experience. All the very best, Chris.👍 Rating: A very easy A1, 10/10! 👍🍻

Wonderful service, excellent quality food and a fab atmosphere. Great place for all ages.... starters are so good and the mixed grill platter is always a hit with the whole family.

Best Turkish restaurant in south London hands down. Amazing food portions very well seasoned. The mixed grill for 2-3 people feeds a hungry family of 4 well. Great service by Baris - very kind and accommodating. Recommend this restaurant everyone

The Resturant is clean and the staff is nice. Music and environment too!! Food was amazing as well, it came hot and tasty, portions were ok considering the price. The reasons why I am giving 4 stars: 1) the Turkish tea didn’t taste of Turkish at all, it was more a normal Earl grey with added hot water. 2) how can you not have baklava??? My mum Came from Italy with the desire of eating a nice Turkish meal and baklava at the end but we had no luck! Overall a 4 stars ⭐️ Updating my review - it’s a 5 stars now! They had baklava this time and although there was no Turkish tea the staff was very polite. Portions are huge and the food tastes simply lovely!! I will come back again!

The service was great, staff are really friendly, one put off, is they are still serving coke/Fanta/sprite- I don't support Israel. But the food was lovely and the place is nice. Can tell it gets pretty busy.

Ordered delivery through Uber eats. The food was super tasty, nice and hot as it was packaged well. Bit pricey compared to a fast food kebab shop but I think okay for a treat! Would love to order again in the future. For 2 people, we ordered 1 lamb shish and 1 combo meal for 1 person but had plenty left over for another meal the next day. I recommend both. The bread was really good 😋😋 and my favourite was probably the lamb chop in the combo. P.s. the sauces were on the small side.

One of the best Turkish restaurants I’ve been to and I love lamb chops! Came here for lunch and will admit is a little pricey but thought would give it a try as love my lamb. Order mix grill for one and came with lots of quality cut meat and good portion along with rice, salad and was given extra fresh pitta. Really good service and friendly and definitely worth a visit if you like lamb and good quality meats. Forget the ones you been to and give this one a try and it’s really tasty!

Had the best meze meal ive ever tasted here... " We popped in on the off chance for a meal and found a gem of a place for top quality dining out. Restaurant was clean modern and stylish, staff smart and well groomed and the food was outstanding ... 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ From me ... I took a few pics of the food .. Starter was prawn and feta in a spicy sauce #stunning ... we had the most amazing bread and dips and the biggest calamari ive ever seen or tasted ...#awesome ... Please go if you like turkish cuisine this place ticks ALL THE BOXES 🔥❤🔥..

Brilliant food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. Great value too Well worth a visit

Food was just gorgeous, really good portion sizes. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially as there were 32 of us today! Definitely would come back again

Hayat were great - they catered to a big party of 22 and the service was excellent, and all the staff were very friendly and great with checking up on us. But even if the staff were grumpy it would still get 4/5 from cos the food was that good. Honestly think it might be the best bread I've ever had. Definitely would recommend and will be going back!

Started of celebrating my brothers 40th birthday here with a large group including kids. Staff was very accommodating, friendly and was a great atmosphere. Food was overall exceptionally good. Have been ordering food from here for years, prices have gone up a lot and the chicken wings are now tiny that’s the only criticisms.

We do like going there. The service is excellent the stuff is friendly. And each food we tried till today was super tasty thanks to chefs. It is not possible that you leave unhappy.

Delicious food and generous portions! Highly recommend the Sigara Borek starter (could easily eat two portions!). Service was a little slow but wouldn’t stop me from returning

Amazing food, great portions size, everything freshly cooked (full of flavour!) - chicken cooked to perfection, beautiful halloumi fries! Friendly & polite staff! I think we found our local favourite for dining out! 🎯

Came here on a rare trip away without the kids. Booked a table on Saturday evening. It was very busy. Staff were very friendly. Starters came with a bread basket and dips which I would happily have ordered as a starter, gorgeous! My main was vegetarian moussaka, it was a bit disappointing. The meat dishes coming out to other tables looked and smelled delicious! I'm neither vegetarian nor vegan, but if I were I don't think I'd come back - veggie choices were very limited and I don't recall seeing any vegan dishes. I'm t-total and ordered a mocktail that tasted suspiciously like it had rum in it! The second one I ordered tasted completely different so I was a bit concerned that I'd accidentally drank alcohol. It was a bit loud so it is possible they didn't hear me say mocktail. Luckily I wasn't driving, but I did suffer tummy pains afterwards. I will come back here, but next time I will order a chicken dish for my main and make sure they hear me when I ask for a mocktail rather than a cocktail!

I visited here on a Sunday afternoon for a birthday lunch with my friends and it was fantastic! Great service, beautiful food and lovely ambience. We was booked for 1 pm so it wasn't busy at all but it did get busier as the afternoon went on. Portion sizes were huge so next time I'd probably go for a main only. Good pricing too! Would definitely revisit.

Extremely friendly staff. Food was very good and plenty of it and well presented. 4 star due to the space composition , too much tables for such a small place and it was too noisy. I would return again but will try another day other than Saturday.

Have not been here for a year but the food was better than before, always cooked to perfection and salads very fresh.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. The food was great and the service was amazing. It was my mother's birthday and without asking they played Happy Birthday music and brought our cake for us. Overall good service and food.

We had celebrated our anniversary with my wife yesterday there. The best turkish restaurant ever I have tried in whole London. Bless to the Manager got us table quickly even they have booked fully. Waiter was really quality on his job even he could speak with me on multiple languages.I think it’s really good to have quality staff in your team. And he said that owner is highly qualified chef looking after his business by himself 24/7. We are definitely coming back with my family. Highly recommended.
