Wazir Restaurant Review / The Hidden Turkish Restaurant In London?

When I was in Year 6, I remember celebrating my birthday with my family and my family friends in Wazir Restaurant. Little did I know that six years later for Eid 2022, I would return to the same restaurant, eat the food and write a review for it on my own website. Alhamdulillah.

In this article, I will be sharing my review on Wazir Restaurant, a Turkish restaurant in Ilford. Was it really that genuine Turkish food I was looking for?

What is Wazir Restaurant?

Wazir Restaurant is known to be a Turkish restaurant, where they sell relaxed Turkish Mediterranean and Persian grilled dishes and takeaway options. It is located in Ilford.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

Lamb Special Platter (£29.99)

This platter was absolutely amazing! It contained a lamb shish (one skewer), Adana (1 skewer), Koubideh (2 skewers) and lamb shawarma (complimentary), according to the online menu. It looked very inviting and had a shine to it. Altogether, the food was absolutely flavourful, the meat was juicy and succulent and it was what we expected. I was happy and would rate it a good ⅘.

The Place:

The place looked quite posh compared to other Turkish restaurants I have been to. It was very large in size so it is good for small and large families. There were nice lights and my sister and I took a seat next to the windows, which allowed natural light to come in.

The Service:

There were many staff members available for Eid day, and I felt sorry for them having to work on Eid day. It was quite busy and there were small delays when asking for the bill, but overall, the service was pretty smooth and the staff members were nice.

Would I Recommend It?

I would say that overall, I would recommend coming here as it does give off that classy vibe which other Turkish restaurants might not have. This experience makes the price go up on the high end as you do have to pay a service charge but you get a free Turkish tea afterwards. I would say it is worth coming here for the experience as the food is pretty similar to other Turkish restaurants.

My Rating: 4/5

My Rating System:

⅕ – was below average and would not recommend even trying once

⅖ – the food was average and would not recommend trying

⅗ – the food was delicious but would recommend trying maximum once

⅘ – the food was really good and would recommend trying here

5/5 – the food was outstanding and is one of my favourites!
