Helvadere in Croydon

This is a lovely local restaurant. It’s really a hidden gem! Beautiful interior. Staff were really friendly and attentive despite it being really busy for a Sunday evening! We went for a friends birthday and there were many birthdays being celebrated and the staff were fun and enthusiastic each time!The food was a little cold but starters were perfect. Very nice calamari and not fishy at all and one of the best mac and cheese. Main course sea bass, lamb and chicken shish were all very nice and flavourful, succulent and soft. Portions are actually quite generous too. Drinks were also very nicely made ( we had mango martini, lychee martini and pina colada). Price is the same as any other Turkish or Lebanese restaurant, roughly £20-30pp including drinks. No shisha at the moment but would definitely recommend.

The best place to go for food, cocktails and entertainment! We was well looked after, staff were so friendly! The food was 10/10… portion sizes were extremely generous and we didn’t have to wait long! Cocktails were amazing we had the daiquiris and tried every flavour! Entertainment was great. Would definitely come back and 100% recommend! Thank you for having us!

The ambience, the service, the food, the drinks.... was 10/10. The steak cooked medium melts in your mouth! The burger was delicious! The starters are mouthwatering, the halloumi was done to perfection! I was so impressed, it was my first time here and now I cant wait to go back!

Tonight we had an amazing evening. Our party of 3 all agreed that this was was best turkish we've eaten . The food was exceptional and the customer service was perfect. We will definitely be returning.

The food was okay for the price, loved the prawns but felt like the burger wasn’t anything special for £14. The service was fantastic until we got the bill. The waiter gave us someone else’s bill who had a discount as the Manager knew who she was. She then took that discounted bill away and gave us a bill with the full price, which we felt was a bit unfair since they had confused themselves and then said that because of the confusion we would get a slight discount.

Went for a quick meal with some mates and I have to say this was a really nice joint. Modern decor and great contemporary Mediterranean food. Service was swift and customer service was impeccable

The food was amazing, the service was good, the entertainment was fun, the drinks were good as well.The presentation of the food was amazing and the vibe was good with amazing fun staff.I’d like to mention our table service was good and the waitress, MEL, looked after us very well.

Amazing service!We came to this restaurant for my sister’s bridesmaids proposal dinner. The food and cocktails were unreal and we even ended our night with some lovely Turkish tea!Our waiter Matt was so kind and accommodating.The bar staff were also very lovely! Definitely coming back here again ☺️

Food was lovely!! The staff had banter and made you feel very welcome. this strawberry daiquiri was to die for 😍 the entertainment just topped the night off the belly dancer got everyone involved she even got me up dancing!! I would recommend a night out at helvadere

This place is a hidden gem. The workers are lovely. The food portions and flavour is amazing I went on two different occasions and ordered the same thing just to make sure the portions weren't a fluke and it was under £20 for two salmon fillets that's unheard of lol. My drink was mixed superbly and perfect amount of alcohol. The shisha atmosphere outside is a mood!!
