Up dated review 14th August 2025
Approaching its 7th anniversary having opened in the December of 2018 Hatays is now well established in the hearts of many of its customers.
Its Turkish in it's menu, offerings dishes like Tavuk Cigeri ( chicken livers in port sauteed in butter with cherries ), Now a guest dish Erikli Ordek ( Roasted duck leg with prune served on sweet potato puree and epinabe ) which just falls of the bone currently .The fish courses have quite a repretation ,Try the Sea Bream which just melts in the mouth and gets better each time i order it ,what the chef Hackream dose with the accompanying sauce has to be tasted which is inspired.
Their octopus is also to be seen and savored I'm talking whole tentacle not Rings { see customer photos) I personally would recommend the Monk fish accompaned in a tomato white wine sauce. And as for the salmon, 6 stars awarded in my opinion the star fish dish seated on a bed of cream Spinach. A most welcome return Dish ( see photo ) as a personal favourite for a special one day treat .Watch out for more additional dishes from time to time Reintroduced for the summer and perfect for the hot weather is their shredded chicken and Celeric Salad with apple and avocado Exstreamly refreshing Onto dessert Incir Tatlisi ( Figs stuffed with walnuts, baked in a sugar syrup, Bailey's cream and served with gelato comes warmed. sadly off menu for the time being Found nowhere else is their pistachio icecream bombe, a real palate cleanser at the end of the meal and again in my opinion the top dessert along with the Chocolate bombe. While the carameliised pumpkin is a required taste I did try it thou yes needs working on so let me come back to you on this one . You either love it or hate it like marmite I love the flesh , its the skin part that needs to grow on me Think of a paw paw with the skin caramelized.and your near to it in ones mind
New dishes are added from time to time Like the house special HATAY SINI KABABI mouthwatering. Or the Turkish Lamb Shank Soup / Paca Corbasi starter A required pallet for the Western European taste buds but well worth a try if like me you like new cuisine .
With an excellent wine (and gin list beleave it or not *🥂 )what better can you ask . Love the non alcoholic gin mocktail Now here is drink that IS refreshing. and of course the Raki a most delightful sprit .Turkey at it's best
Hatay is currently opened 12pm to 21:00 hrs Sunday to Tuesday 12pm to 22:00hrs Wednesday to Saturday
P Late news ladies and Gentlemen They are now open on Mondays same time as Tuesdays to Saturday so just pick a day and time.
The venue Seats round 60 inside so plenty of room for groups or just that intermate meal for two or even dining alone . An out side terrace has been added seating 26 customers at various tables Having a retractable awning adds to the atmosphere as photos I took will show ,Windows to the terrace are also retractable reguarding the weather.to add to the omberance.
Strangly it's Sunday that are extremely popular so I would advise to book in advance to avoid disappointment I love this venue, very friendly staff now on first names but then l have been back some eight five plus times ( I'm a devotee ) its established its self and gets better with each visit Do come and try it out for your self Well worth the Five star rating many customers are giving this place.
They are currently doing a take out service.with a 15% discount when customers collect themselve at the restaurant . Dilivery is possible to your home by urba Please ring the restaurant for information Also offer is a children's menu for little appetites . Please see web pages by by y u by

Read moreWe had a lovely family dinner before going to a pantomime. The food is absolutely amazing! The service is very efficient. We said to the waitress that we are aiming to leave for the theatre at 7:15pm latest. She communicated it with the manager/owner and he made sure the kitchen prepared all our food promptly. The starters were delicious. Must try - the octopus. For main we had two of the lamb dishes, the duck, the salad, lamb skewer (children menue) - all just finger licking delight! Deserts and the variety of coffees were just perfect!
This is a 5 star restaurant! The staff are very efficient, polite, friendly, but not overly friendly. Prices are a bit higher than the average prices in Raynes Park restaurants, but are well worth it!!
It’s a must visit restaurant and we are coming back tomorrow for lunch with a guest of ours, who has been dining in many Michelin star restaurants. I can’t wait to hear his opinion tomorrow. I am sure he...

Negatives the pastry in the baklava was quite tough so much so that we found it hard to cut through with a fork, which is a shame because the filling and the ice cream it came with was really nice all menu items are quite dear. For example, mixed grill was £23.50, and it was truly a single person sized portion, unlike most Turkish restaurants, which can be quite generous. Hatay don’t do a mixed grill for two, so you’re left having to order two, which means £47 for just the mains if you’re dining out at as a couple. Prices like this can be expected in central london, but not in Raynes Park. no complimentary bread or sauce, unlike most Turkish restaurants. You do, however, get given bread if you order a starter. Sauces are charged at 50p each, so not breaking the bank, but I’ve never been charged for sauces before at any...
