We enjoyed our moment here for dinner. Fausta was really helpful and super friendly. Our food arrived promptly and was tasty. The ambiance in the room was really good as well. What else could we ask for?

Excellent first impression. Restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and our waitress, Adyta, was so lovely and helpful. She recommended dishes she thought we would like and nothing was too much trouble. The food was fantastic and the prices were reasonable. Overall, it's a new favourite pace to eat!

We live in Colchester but we’ve found our favourite Turkish restaurant, and will always come to Hasturk, Braintree if we feel like having Turkish. Very good food. I like lamb but can be particular about how it’s cooked, Hasturk got it right. Love the lamb Shish- juicy, flavours bursting at every bite. Recently I tried other dish- grilled Octopus- a new addition to my list of favourites. Our son always go for the kids chicken wings and this is the only place where we know he’d always finish everything on his plate! My husband likes ordering calamari for starters everywhere he goes and he said their calamari is the best he’s tasted so far. Service is always good every time we come here. For some reason we always see the waitress Diamond but we’re not complaining because she’s always cheerful, makes us feel welcome, fast service- we can expect good dining experience every time we come here.

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

Wonderful after cinema, early evening, meal. We love making up our own maze from a vast array of starters. Nice choice of wines although Turkish wine, surprisingly, is missing. Great service by staff with friendly service by Edita. Nice, pleasant, young lady. Thank you. We will be back

It's annoying that you can't put a higher score! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and well maintained. The kitchen is shiny clean, yes you can see the chefs cooking as you wait for your meal. The staff are QUALITY! So polite, pleasant and funny. The wine is great. Then there's the food Fabulous bread and dips. Starters are a good size and a fantastic amount of options. The mains are BIG so make sure you are hungry. Couldn't manage a desert but they look lush. The coffee was made precisely as requested, even though it wasn't on the menu, creamy, smooth and just delicious. Nothing too much trouble, wonderful atmosphere and delightful food, Oh yeah, and reasonably priced, what more can you ask for??? Very excited about going back, well worth it

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!

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.
