Sinan Bektas

Hello, I'm Sinan! I have been providing chef services to hungry Londoners for over 10 years.

Originally from Turkey, I love to cook a variety of modern Turkish dishes close to my heart, as well as an array of international dishes.

Since training as a chef in London, I have built on my expertise through special occasion cooking. I have experience in everything from large-scale events, such as weddings, right down to more intimate occasions such as a romantic dinner for two. In the past, I have often been asked to go to people's homes and cook for them, but many people now want the quality of a professionally cooked meal, without having to venture out or spend a fortune on a private chef. And that's where Housebites comes in! I am currently operating from my own popular Hammersmith restaurant, Lala.

I hope you enjoy browsing my menu and eating your way through it. Any dishes you would like to see appear? Please just let me know.

My Reviews

Very good, and generous portions! Will definitely order again! - Jenny, W11

The fish was very well cooked and tasted very fresh. The tabbouleh salad and borek were also Fresh and yummy. The vegetables accompanying the fish were really tasty also, maybe a little bit oily however... would definitely order from Sinan again. - Sophia, W11

Very nice food, especially the halloumi salad! - Alexie, W8

Absolutely delicious! - Tony, W10

What can I say, the food was simply outstanding. My wife is Egyptian and has a well-trained palate when it comes to Middle-Eastern Food. She was gobsmacked by the high quality, good taste, and perfect texture of the food. Thanks yet again for a great meal Housebites and Housebites' Chefs! - Daniel, SW6

Delicious. - Anna, W2

Our meal was delivered a few minutes earlier than promised, tasted absolutely delicious (we had chicken brochettes and grilled haddock), and was served with warm bread. A+ for everything, the best Housebites experience to date. - Olga, W14

It was my first experience with Housebites and loved it. The chicken was really nice and perfectly cooked. The rice and the salad were delicious too. I didn't try the bread that came complimentary to the meal. The delivery came right on time. It was a good experience and I can only recommend it. - Fabienne, SW6

Delicious healthy food, delivered super fast! - George, W12

The food was good but we ate it straight away when it arrived and it was all cold. - Alex, W2

Delicious meal, The meat was perfectly cooked and tender and the rice was lovely. It would be nice if the yoghurt sauce was served separately! - Tony, W10

Great food but arrived at little cold. - Aimee, W4

Delicious meal! - Tony, W10

Excellent meal, enjoyed every mouthfull. - Chris, SW10

Great meal. Good quantity of food, well packaged and delivered speedily. Top marks! - Malcolm, W2

The Fiery Chicken Brochettes was very juicy and is a must try, and don't worry it is not that spicy . Sinan is becoming one of my favourite chiefs. - Husam, SW7

Sinan's food arrived on time and was delivered by a very pleasent individual. The food was hot and very good, the steak was flavoursome and cooked to perfection. The chips and salad on the size made it a good sized meal leaving me satisfied. The halloumi salad was a bit small but mainly because the taste left me wanting more! Finally the Baklava was fantastic. Thank you for the cream too! - Matt, W12

the Chargrilled Salmon with Peppers was really good, i highly recommend it. - Husam, SW7

excellent all around. - david, SW7

The borek was very oily, the chicken tasteless, and the hummus was good but no lamb, the chef was very polite and helpful and it was delivered on time and warm. - Fadel, SW3

Thank you for a delicious meal, healthy and fresh. Very satisfying home cooked Turkish cuisine. The Borek was so good. We really enjoyed it! - Sophie, SW13

Delivered early and piping hot. Delicious Chicken and hummus was divine! - Tony, W10

Welcome to housebites! Great food, prompt delivery, will order again. - Govind, W14

Delicious Lamb kofta with rice and salad. Delivered early, piping hot and with a extra 'sweet'. Very nice touch, thank you Sinan. - Tony, W10

We were very happy. Thank you. - Ramita, W10

The meal overall was excellent, the Lamb kofte was really good. I thought the food could have been a little bit less greasy, especially the risotto. But, overall very good. Will definitely consider ordering again. - Gobind, W9

I ordered the Lamb kofta with rice. The food arrived promptly at the beginning of the time slot. The food was good, though it wasn't special. Definitely better than standard takeaways though. The quantity was a lot, there were leftovers for the next day. Also, the chef sent complimentary salad and turkish delight which was a nice touch. - Sandeepan, W2

Excellent meal - unexpected side salad, very nicely home cooked moussaka. Tasty, rustic and healthy and free of restaurant pretension. Looking forward to trying the pan fried haddock. - Mark, NW10

Always fantastic fresh, delicious food. Amazingly generous portion sizes which is why we keep using him! The flavours in his food are to die for. Best tawkeaway we've ever had by miles. - Samantha, W2

nice. no complaint but lacked the wow factor. - Caroline, W9

Excellent! Possibly the best take away we have ever had, huge servings and very tasty. Highly recommended ! Tnx - jack, W2

Generally good across the board. Halumi, lentil pie, lamb were particularly notable. Slightly under-seasoned in places. Probably a little too much starch but that was mostly our fault in terms of selection. Would certainly order again but probably focus on different combination. - Dylan, W9

Really nice, flavoursome authentic Turkish cooking. Generous (over generous!) portions too. - Jamie, W2

Really tasty meal - thank you! - Joshua, W11

Delicious chicken and the gift of the Turkish Delight was a very nice touch. - leslie, W11

Meal came bang on time and hot! We enjoyed it very much. And the complementary Turkish delight was lovely. I liked the way the chef only offered a small selection. Makes me feel like it was freshly prepared. Will be ordering again! - Romy, W9

A very delicious and unusual meal. The chicken yahni really was surprisingly refreshing and tangy. A delicious dessert. Will order again. - Parvin, NW10
