About This Pub
You know, I've got to say, Hasturk really stands out as a lovely Turkish restaurant that's got people raving about it. From what I've seen in the reviews, the food is spot on – think succulent grilled meats, fresh salads, and those sharing platters that make for a fun, family-style meal. The staff are absolute stars; they're not just serving up dishes, they're making sure everyone feels right at home with their cheerful chats and spot-on recommendations, like suggesting the perfect cocktail or that must-try Imam Bayildi. It's all about that great value too, with deals that keep things affordable while still feeling special. On the flip side, it does get packed, so planning ahead is a must if you don't fancy queuing, and if you're coming from further afield, the location might not be the most convenient. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening – you'd be hard-pressed not to leave with a smile, and I reckon it's well worth the visit for anyone after an authentic taste of Turkey without the hassle.

Great meal for me and my family. Edyta was a fantastic waitress. She is always so polite, helpful and friendly. We enjoyed a sharing platter that included mixed started and mixed meat main for an extremely well valued price. We also enjoyed a few two for one cocktails too
The food was absolutely delicious! Big shoutout to our lovely waitress Edyta – not only super professional but also clearly a food fairy in disguise. She recommended the Imam Bayildi, and wow… I’m still dreaming about it!
My husband had the Mixed Adana, which he devoured in record time – always a good sign.
Edyta, you're a star!✨
We’ll definitely be back – and next time, we’re trusting you with dessert too! 😉
Our favourite Turkish restaurant—Hasturk is fantastic!
The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently excellent—flavourful, fresh, and beautifully presented. We absolutely love coming here. The bar offers a great range of drinks, and the restaurant itself is spacious with a lovely outdoor seating area for when the weather’s nice. There's plenty of parking, and it’s conveniently close to the shops and cinema.
Our top menu picks are...The Hummus Kawarma and Lamb Shish Iskender—both are absolutely delicious! 😎👌🏻
Katie is absolutely perfect. I have never got a better service, as she made the perfect cocktails for us😍 also, we got the best salmon I have ever tried. I’m really pleased with this place, and I will definitely get back again.
Thank you so much.
Can’t recommend it enough ❤️
What a lovely experience dining here. The menu is huge with loads of options for everyone! Meat tastes so good, grilled with real fire. Would definitely recommend the chicken Sarma beyti. Service was incredible. I was served by the lovely Hollie who was very knowledgable and attentive.
