• "Very tasty food, but disappointing service."
• "The food is excellent. The timing too."

Cons:

• "We came with a lot of people towards closing time so perhaps the quality was a bit tainted because of that. But the food was decent, tasted great when still hot but got rubbery quite quickly."
• "I dislike leaving bad reviews but I felt the amount we paid for this meal, we should have received food of higher quality. The food tasted just OK (meat was overcooked and lacked flavour)."
• "Food appeared to be mediocre from the start, 2 out if the 6 people ordered the grilled sea bass, and unfortunately had food poisoning symptoms shortly after."
• "Food was horrible, we ordered chicken wrap which was horrible, the chicken tasti not fresh we couldn't eat even half of the plate, we pay for nothing..."
• "However the food is good, little bit higher price like other ones. The floor staff very unqualified and rude."
• "Ordered twice via deliveroo from this branch. Both times the exact same thing: waiting for food for more than 45 mins I call up to find the restaurant has handed my order to wrong driver."
• "Food had nice flavours but it was pricey restaurant compare to other Turkish breakfast."
• "Food is good but over priced for what it is - the staff leave a lot to be desired when it comes to service - they are just self absorbed and a touch shy of being rude to customers."

Service

Pros:

• "Perfect family meal. Great service, nice atmosphere, and the best Turkish you can find in London."
• "The waitress was so kind and cheerful. She is a credit to the team here!"
• "Our waiter Yousef was brilliant. Very attentive and although he always seemed busy with other tables, he always spared a minute or two to check on us."
• "We were served by Christina who was incredibly kind and helpful and managed our whims with efficiency and a smile."
• "Exceptional service! I wish I caught the servers name. Very welcoming, offered me a tea while I waited."
• "The customer service in restaurant is always excellent."
• "The wait staff were really friendly attentive and looked after us, especially Deniz!"
• "ANZELIKA - the amazing women who served us. She was so on point. she did everything and more we wanted."

Cons:

• "Atmosphere is ok; it was very quiet but they could probably improve the service a bit. They were always in a rush to clear the table - so convo was always getting interrupted."
• "We received a nice welcome by the staff when entering the restaurant. The table service was efficient but a little lacklustre, it just felt that they were just processing another set of customers at times."
• "It's okay. Not exceptional. I love visiting Turkish restaurants for that small business vibe they have and how accommodating they can be and unfortunately this place is just a bit too much like a small business."
• "I ordered chicken Doner for my wife and meat was absolutely not Fresh was sting and the guy who was taking order he said is fresh pepole and the manager or boss is not genuine i didn't pay for that and after the boss say ok not to pay because he understand that he will have big problem if my wife will have problems after so we she didn't eat and we gone from there dont eat in that reustarant honestly and the guy ho was taking order he was stinging ugly pepole."
• "The Gökyüzü chain is growing, and no wonder, the food is fresh, tastes amazing and perfectly cooked and flavored everytime. One thing I look for is good quality service, and this branch is one of the best, you're greeted at the door with a smiley face, and throughout your visit you are always attended to and never forgotten. Thank you Mazlum and the girls for making our last three visits exceptional as always."
• "The food was absolutely delicious, very good quality of meat. I had a mix grill platter for 2 and cold mezze plate to share with 2 others. Portion size was very good, we couldn't finish all of it. Christina was a wonderful, friendly and approachable host,she kept coming over to our table asking if we needed anything, topping up our water and fresh naan bread, picking up our finished plates straightaway. She was very friendly and professional, she knows how to deal with customers. Excellent atmosphere. Clean and hygienic restaurant. Price was very good."
• "The service was brilliant, staff would constantly be offering small dishes of bread, tzatziki, and salad to your table free or charge. (Although there is a service charge applied onto your bill at the end of the meal) but it's worth it as the sheer amount that's given to you for free is substantial enough to justify the small service charge."
• "My first visit to this restaurant and really enjoyed the experience. The staff were really attentive and had a lovely attitude. The food was delicious and both my son, husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. Doggy bag to take the food home, i couldn't eat as too full. I recommend a visit."
