Bazlama: From a Turkish Seaside Café to a Breakfast Restaurant in Chingford

Can’t Leave Until Your Last bite.

We’re serving the kind of breakfast that turns into an all-day, everyday affair.

Bazlama started life in a cosy corner of Çeşme, Türkiye, a seaside town where breakfast isn’t just a meal, it’s an event that feels like a celebration. It began with Nurten Anne and her daughter Sinem, a mum-and-daughter duo who wanted to share the happiness found in the food they love, in the place they love. What started as a little family venture quickly became a way to bring people together, one breakfast at a time.

Bringing Turkish Breakfast Traditions to Our East London Branch

Now, we’ve brought that same spirit to the UK… along with a few treasured recipes from our family kitchen. Tables are laden with warm gözleme, cheeses, jams, olives, and the occasional “oh go on then” extra dish you didn’t know you needed.

Our thing? All You Can Eat Breakfast, Türkiye’s ultimate breakfast experience. Think of it as the brunch world’s answer to meze or tapas: a generous spread of small plates filled with fresh breads, creamy dips, artisan cheeses, juicy olives, homemade jams, and endless glasses of hot Turkish tea.

The best part? Gözleme, bazlama bread, and pişi are replenished as you go, so you can savour every bite, the Çeşme Bazlama way.

Family Recipes & Small Plates That Feel Like Home

We believe brunch should be beautiful, generous, and a little bit indulgent. We’re here for the long catch-ups, the “try this, it’s amazing” moments, and the joy that comes from dining in at Çeşme Bazlama.

So whether you’re here for your first taste of Turkish breakfast or your fiftieth, know this: at Çeşme Bazlama, you can’t leave until the last bite, because we serve a spread that fulfils your appetite and your intention.
