Helvadere

Passed by this place lots of times but never popped on until today. Food was absolutely fantastic - I actually struggled to finish my meal and I'm not little! The trio of dips to start and the little breads were absolutely amazing, and then a complimentary tea to end the meal. Value for money, fantastic food and really nice plush surroundings - will Def be returning. Only negative was parking was a little tricky, but there is a side road a few mins walk away.

A great restaurant offers awesome food and Awesome service. Helvedere offers these two in spades. Their Kanefa is probably the best I have eaten. We had Matt, Tooba and Lea serving us and they were 5* attentive. Their food recommendations of Lamb cutlets and kenefa was spot on. This is going to be my go to dine in Turkish restaurant this side of London.

Alright hear me now, me and my friends went out to eat to celebrate me and my friends recent graduation and picked Helvadere as the special location. Having high hopes for this Turkish grill and shisha lounge. This restaurant had a real inviting night vibe with the leafy forest decorations, lit fires outside, incredibly comfortable seating literally sitting on sofas with cushions for even more comfort, it was bliss. They have great staff and the music isn’t too loud unless it’s someone birthday where the blast the song birthday. I got the 3 cheeseburger sliders for a starter and the combo special for one for my main. Cheeseburger sliders These buns filled with joy were an absolute delight. The charcoal buns which were a surprise, were spongy and soft which really complement the beautifully constructed. It had the best seasoned patty I’ve ever tried, with a perfect amount of sauce and lettuce with everything rationed soo elegantly there wasn’t too much of anything. The three were a delectable start to this culinary experience and probably the best starter I’ve ever had. I was genuinely upset when I had finished them. 9.5/10 Combo special for 1 Overall it was a pretty good meal, but I am in two minds about it as there were things about it that were good and somethings that could been improved upon. The white rice was buttery and well cooked and worked brilliantly with its phenomenally seasoned sautéed veg which was a shock to me how well it tasted. The chicken wings although grilled well and retained that flavour they weren’t seasoned which was unfortunate because it definitely could’ve elevated it, and they were also really small so it wasn’t significant. The lamb and chicken Kofte were both succulent and seasoned beautifully pairing perfectly with white and seasoned rice and veg. The lamb cutlet was a bit tough and there wasn’t much meat on the bone. The lamb shish was good, again was well seasoned like most of the meat, however I didn’t enjoy the chicken shish as it lacked flavour and was dry also. 7.6/10 Overall rating 9/10 All costing a nice £45 which is probably the most I have spent on food in one go but it was worth it. They have a good selection of drinks I tried their their Turkish tea and Lychee martini both really good drinks but if you get the tea you don’t need anymore than one cub of sugar anymore and it will be overly sweet.

Great venue, amazing food and awesome staff. My first visit to Helvadere but certainly won’t be my last. The settings and ambiance is really good, nice interiors and good music playlist. The service was top, very welcoming attentive and prompt. The food was well prepared and presented, packed flavour and all tasted very fresh and good generous sizes and a good selection of cocktails and drinks. The only negative is parking, it is hard to find parking close by. Other than that a great experience

I was recommended this beautiful place and was told I wouldn't be disappointed. I was not! The place was beautiful, the atmosphere was lovely, staff were helpful and attentive to you and the food...omg absolutely amazing. I was so full but also didn't want to leave anything on the plate so you know food is good good. Planning the next return with friends.

Me and wife went for a midweek dinner. Was pleasantly happy with what I had chosen, the Koz burger massive with 2 beef patties plus chicken and with sweet potato fries on the side. Wife had the chicken salad. We then shared the Kunefe pudding. Everything that we ordered was cooked perfectly, tasted fresh and well presented. Will most likely go again , definitely would recommend if you fancy a moden Turkish twist on traditional food with American type
