HAZ Plantation Place

The interior was modern and slick. Everything I was able to see (furniture, tableware, architecture, etc…) was of contemporary design. However, I wasn’t able to see any uniqueness of this restaurant. Nothing inside this restaurant or even the music gave a hint of me being in a Turkish restaurant except for the food menu. Regarding the food, the portion sizes for the mezzes/starters were too small. We ordered the hummus, the Turkish chorizo (sucuk), and red lentil soup, which were very delicious! Yet, when looking at the set prices, I personally found it difficult to justify value for money given the portions. Perhaps of the location but that’s just my guess. In any case, a bigger portion size would make a difference. As for the main, I found it interesting to see Lamb Tagine on a Turkish menu but did order it because it was recommended. Tagine is actually a traditional Moroccan dish cooked in a tagine pot and can also appear in various countries in the Maghreb (North Africa). In terms of taste, I quite enjoyed how the meat was prepared and the taste was spot on but at the same time found the dish way too oily. In addition, I found it odd that rice was served with it because tagine is never served with/over rice. Generally, the side dishes to a tagine is always khobz (bread) and a variety of salads e.g. carrot, cucumber & tomato, cured olives, etc. It can either be a single salad or half a dozen. The service was perfect! The members of staff were attentive, friendly and professional.

Recommended. Stylish Turkish restaurant in financial district. Reasonable prices, generous portions, friendly service, clean facilities. Tip: try the Iskender mixed grill!

Well, where do I start... I visited very recently on a weekday with another person and my experience was as per below: 1. Staff were impatient and rushing us every few minutes. 2. I found a hair in my plate. 3. Food was okay, definitely needed more seasoning, especially the Iskender. Prawns from the starter were decent though. The experience felt rushed and I was not happy with the hair and sub par taste of the food. I don't think I'll be returning any time soon.
