    Fantastic food, fantastic service and fantastic value for money. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal, we selected the 5 piece combo mangal along with some starters to share and it was the perfect amount for the four of us. The meat was all beautifully cooked, in fact everything was, we really couldn’t fault it. We finished our meal with a couple deserts and had to stop my dad ordering a second Baklava as he enjoyed it so much first time round!

    The food😋 used to be the best in town, in fact it probably still is. The prices💲 are much higher than before and the portions are slightly smaller. I would go to it more if it could be restored to it's former self⏳. I still like it and would recommend it to anyone who likes Turkish🍷. I would advise you go a little later as it's normally very crowded.

    It was a great place! The service was great! For someone who's worked in hospitality and runs a business in sales, I'd definitely hire the waiter who served us. The food was good, large portions do it's extremely filling. Some of the family didn't enjoy the coleslaw and I found the halloumi sticks to be extremely salty, more than usual when you purchase them. In total for 6 people it did turn out pricey but we left happy and our stomachs filled. The only thing that irritated me was the child behind who kept looking over and trying to engage with us, but that was the parents issue, not the staffs. It was a nice place and the kebab was fresh 👍 better if you're a party of 4+ to share between everyone. Great job!

    This is the best Turkish restaurant in Bromley and possibly London. I've been here lots of times and love it to bits. The food is very high quality and they have a wide variety of food on offer. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming but be aware it's very popular so can get very busy so booking a table is a good idea although I've only booked once, just depends on when you go. They have plenty of staff who are all knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The drinks selection of also varied and nice whether you want Turkish lager or wine. I'd always recommend this place, it's been there for years and always being successful for good reason.

    Was looking forward to visiting Havet. Started with cocktails, the selection is great. We then skipped starters and chose the four meat, and 3 sides combo main as a sharing platter between two. Three Lamb dishes and 1 chicken, although our choice of lamb doner was unavailable on this occasion. The meat was delicious and succulent, the shish and kofte were perfectly cooked and seasoned lovely. The helim chips sides were tasty, as were the garlic condiments. Only let down was the bread which wasn't the traditional Turkish lava bread, but it was just a tortila cut into six. The chips were pretty standard and the cabbage salad was lacking flavour. The Katmer dessert of a pistachio cream concealed within a filo pastry, accompanied with vanilla ice cream was devine. I will definitely go back for the lunch time special wraps. A nice dining experience.

    We went super early for lunch and it was not crowded. We were seated quickly and the kids food came out in 10mins! Excellent food, love the mocktails and the servers are amazing. The restaurant was full by the time we left.

    Updated review in Feb 2024: Havet “was” my favourite restaurant but it's not for now. Long story short - Went in there with my friends and found hairs (between 1 inch and 2 inches long) in the food; spoke to the staff and he took that to “investigate” and came out with different hair which is 8-10inches long saying that's what he pulled out n no one in the kitchen had long hair… we were speechless as we took pics of these hairs…. And I'm I'm not impressed with the “magic trick” he puts on as that's very dishonest in my view; hence I do not plan to go back at all and do not recommend it. To sum up, food is okay if you don't mind there are hairs in it and the atmosphere is quite noisy. 5 years ago (2019): Havet is one of my favourite restaurants I have to say! They focus on the quality of food and drinks! Not to mention, their best-in-class customer service! You always feel very welcome once you step into the restaurant and the staff even remember our favourite dishes and drinks - that’s very impressive as I’m not a regular customer, we visit roughly 6 times in 3 months. Also, I love hearing the birthday song!!! It feels great and everyone singing along to send their blessing to the birthday boy/girl!!! Ivetalk, it’s fun, has amazing food, best-in-class customer service and extremely good value! Highly recommended!!

    Always a pleasure coming here. The food is authentic and high quality. The staff are efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Whenever I come, the food is always delicious. I always opt for the rice as a side, also the Turkish coffee is 👌and the meat is just always succulent and flavourful 🤌🤌

    In the bustling high street road, this is a good restaurant with good ambiance. Spacious restaurant. Though this has less vegetarian options, but the food is delicious and also the potion served was large and filling. Service is prompt and friendly staff.

    Place needs an upgrade. Staff were lovely, but some of the servers were so new they thought spraying cleaner all across a table, and your clothing was cool! Before that, we'd had the pleasure of having our phones and clothing covered in oil on the unclean surface. However the food was gorgeous and the established staff were great so I would return.

    Wonderful meal with my best friend here last week. The staff are beyond helpful and constantly on hand and attentive. We chose the hot mezze to share and it was amazing. Beautifully presented with ample food for two as a main meal (they have this as a starter if you’re particularly hungry!) A lot of choice and very reasonable prices. Will be back soon.

    Sadly didn't get photos of our mains, but the food was beautifully presented and as delicious to match. There are lots of choices on the menu, so could be other whelming, but I am sure whatever you pick you'll enjoy it. The staff were friendly and service wasn't slow but definitely genteel.

    Really extensive menu with quality meat dishes. The lamb was very juicy and the chicken thighs were seasoned very well. I asked if I could have the feta salad without any parsley, and the waitor said this was impossible as the salad is pre-prepared by the kitchen staff. I thought that this was a bit odd as it is quite normal for people to have allergy requirements. I ordered the seasonal salad instead.

    I had a good visit last Saturday 6th January 24. I had the Vegetable Moussaka with Sweet Potato Fries, and also ordered a Mai Tai. Everything was fresh and indeed delicious. All the flavours and presentation was just beautiful.

    This was my first time here and won’t be my last. The food was delicious, we was a party of 10, so aswell as my own food I sampled other plates within our table- Everything just tasted divine. I cannot fault anything. Our service was A*. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable prices and just overall a really nice place to have a meal. Highly recommend.

    Tremendous food, great cocktails combined with attentive service makes Havet a brilliant restaurant to enjoy. If you have the opportunity eat here, it’s fantastic.

    Great food and atmosphere. The grill faces the diners behind a glass wall so you can see everything being prepared. They were surpringly busy on a Tuesday night with several large parties including plenty with children. Highly recommend the vegetable kebab. The kids menu was liked by our kids. Portions are generous!

    My ultimate most favourite restaurant, staff are outstanding and the food is absolutely amazing.

  • 4/5 Zara J. 1 year ago on Google
    Came for the £9.95 lunch menu which consists of a selected choice of main courses and a soft drink. I went for a diner kebab with rice and ginger beer. The portion size was great, very generous and enough to fill you up. The flavours were also great and chilli and garlic sauce were brought on the side for some extra kick should you so need it. My only gripe with the food would be that the meat was lukewarm. I would have preferred for it to be hot as the rice was. Service at the table was good and very attentive however trying to get attention when I walked in was a complete fail. Three different members of staff walked pass and ignored me. It wasn’t until I started filming on my phone (to make a reel) that someone came up to me! That wasn’t a great first impression but it could have been a one off. I would definitely go back and try some of the other dishes as it was good value for money.

    Nice place with lots to chose from on the menu. Starters were decent but unfortunately the chicken and lamb shish were a little bit overcooked, dry, and under seasoned hence the reason I'm giving it a 4 star. I've been twice in 3 years and it was the same on both occasions. Otherwise everything else was good including the service.

  • 5/5 Carolina R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing as always, the staff is so super kind. It was my daughters 8th birthday and they treated her and her friends so kindly! Lovely evening, thanks to their team (and delicious food)!

    The service was great and the food was very nice. They have an allergy book so if you have any dietary requirements let them know

    It was an amazing experience The food was great and the customer services staff was lovely- I just wished the portions of rice were a bit more 😅

  • 5/5 Tanya 1 year ago on Google
    My third experience at Havet was amazing! For the first time, I got a non-alcoholic cocktail - Virgin Mojito. It came with mint and lime which made it pop in your mouth just after 1 sip. Crushed ice cubes slowly melting giving you the pleasure of a slushy feel - great for your kids!!

  • 5/5 Nigel C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the food here, this was my fifth time here. We had the combo meal with four different meats. Amazing. Great service from Ivan, so warm and friendly. Will return to have the wonderful food and see Ivan again.

  • 4/5 Lidia M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place never let me down. The food is sooooo good. The only thing about last night I didn't enjoy is that it was too loud with a few bday parties going on. My bfriend and I couldn't have a conversation and we have to leave cos his adhd was playing out. Staff was very friendly even tho they were super busy. And you guys have a lot of options for us vegans! Absolutely love this place. ❤️

  • 3/5 Emma N. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is great here and it’s popular for the right reasons. There is a fantastic menu, good wine, and the food is cooked extremely well. The meat is tender and the knafeh dessert with pistachio is exceptional. It’s busy and noisy as a result of its popularity and there is a bit of a canteen feel now. Other things are neglected. The ambiance does not live up to the food quality. When we were there (a Sat) the bar closed at 10pm.
