HAZ Finsbury Square

On Finsbury Square, HAZ channels the sunlit ease of the Mediterranean into Shorditch. A modern menu, inspired by age-old culinary practices and grounded in fresh, local, seasonal produce, captures the region’s generous spirit. It is food made for sharing and for savouring, from first sip to final forkful.

The meze opens the conversation with silky hummus and crisp falafel, before the charcoal takes centre stage. Turkish mangal classics such as lamb shish and chicken shish arrive tender and fragrant, while from the sea come salmon and a grilled monkfish shish with gentle smoke. Slow-cooked comforts run deep in lamb tagine and chicken tagine, balanced by vegetable highlights such as charred grilled cauliflower or a homely vegetable moussaka. Simple sides, whether basmati rice or chips, complete the picture without fuss.

Day to night, the room hums with warm hospitality and an energetic ambience. The bar gives its drinks star billing, pouring a distinctive selection of wines and artisanal cocktails designed to delight the senses in taste, aroma and presentation. Guests are invited to linger over lunch or a spirited supper; the flavours do the talking and the mangal brings the charm.
