Best Waterfront Restaurants in Paddington

It was our first visit to Hazev, but it won't be our last. It was one of a very few restaurants in the area open on Christmas Day. The staff was friendly and jolly, as was the atmosphere of the restaurant, with lovely decorations and recorded Christmas songs being played. The Christmas menu was reasonably priced for what was offered, which was a sample of seven starters (humus, tabbouleh, tzatziki, aubergine with tomatoes, filo with spinach & feta, falafel and deep fried prawn) served with freshly baked bread and a choice of one of six main courses. We enjoyed all of the starters. The deep fried king prawn was my husband's favorite and I had a hard time choosing a favorite because I liked them all. We ordered the kofte, which was a generous portion of two skewers of lamb mince and the Hazev special, which was a generous serving of tender, succulent and deliciously seasoned lamb stew on a bed of the most heavenly concoction of aubergine with cheese and bechamel. I savored every bite. For dessert we were served two bite sized pieces of pistachio baklava which made a perfect end to a wonderful meal. Their menu is brimming with other delicacies I look forward to trying. Thank you to the Hazev staff for making us feel welcomed so far from home on Christmas Day.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Wonderful Christmas lunch with a great view. Very relaxing. Thank you.

Servers/wait staff were absolutely lovely- food (a Christmas Eve dinner for us) was perfect- delicious. Adorable Richmond/old London ambience.

Great staff.. warm, friendly and fun This was our Anniversary and as my wife is a Cape Towner I can’t tell you how nice it was for her to be greeted by Julian (also is), who was helpful in moving the booking for me originally and it kept the link between the original restaurant in Waterfront alive (which is amazing by the way by the ocean) Thanks guys Great dinner (platter) and at £75 Inc a cocktail, on par for decent value these days

Kinishka is our favourite restaurant in London and we make a point of dining here on every visit. We dined on Tuesday 17th December and opted, as usual, for the Tasting Menu. The anniversary menu, it has to be said, is nothing short of outstanding. And with a friendly and attentive team of staff, wonderful cocktails and a great ambiance, a very memorable evening was had. Thank you once again to the amazing Kanishka team, we will be back next year!
