Hazev

Story

ABOUT US
Located on the waterfront, Hazev offers an oasis of Anatolian cuisine at its finest in the heart of the financial district.
The stunning venue combines a stylish bar, elegant restaurant and an inviting, quick-serve café and deli – thus allowing us to cater for any occasion. And with the versatility to provide complete venue hire, private dining and a collection/delivery* service, Hazev simply invites you to enjoy...
Hazev is the first collaboration between the ‘Tas’ Restaurant Group and the ‘Haz’ Restaurant Group, who between them control 10 restaurants within Central London. As such, we adhere to the same set of principles that has already made these groups so successful and draw from a wealth of experience that has been accumulated over the last decade.
Our name derives from the Turkish words ‘haz’- meaning ‘enjoyment’ – and ‘ev’ – meaning ‘home’, and in creating ‘hazev’ we hope to provide our guests with a dining experience infused with the comfort and indulgence associated with both.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is simple and assumes a threefold approach.
First and foremost, we aim to offer our guests a taste of Anatolian cuisine at its finest, and to this end we ensure that all of our dishes are prepared daily using the freshest of ingredients, many of which are organic, and only the purest of extra virgin olive oil.
As important as the food we prepare is the setting in which it is served. We see ourselves as a haven of calm in the heart of the busy financial district and try to emulate within our restaurant the air of tranquillity that is already realised by our waterfront location.
Finally, we recognise that fine dining requires the highest standards of service. We strive to offer an unparalleled level, taking care that all of our carefully selected staff maintain our core principles of hospitality, attentiveness and professionalism.
By holding on to the philosophy we value so highly, we fulfil the passion that lies beneath all we do: the passion to provide our guests with a dining experience second to none.

HEAD CHEF
Onder Sahan, CEO of the Tas Restaurant Group, opened his first restaurant on The Cut in 1999. His passion for food was apparent from the outset and his varied dishes and distinctive recipes were instantaneously greeted by excellent reviews.
In the last 11 years, he has opened the doors to a further seven venues throughout Central London, all of which have maintained the same high standards and been met with similar enthusiasm. Hazev is the most recent addition to the group.
Over a career spanning 20 years, Sahan has developed a unique style of his own. The meals remain true to their Turkish origins, however they are lighter, more modern versions of the rich cuisine that the country is renowned for. Fresh seasonal ingredients, distinct aromatic spices and harmonious flavours are his trademarks, with all of his dishes impeccably cooked and beautifully presented.
Throughout this time, he has maintained his passion for cooking and has received a variety of accolades along the way. Sahan has been the head chef and co-owner of Hazev since its opening in 2009 and, with a highly qualified team behind him, continues to excel.
