    Gokyuzu & Kervan - Upstairs is a massive food hall, bit noisy and not intimate so maybe not for that first date unless they really love meat.

    Unbeatable Wood…read moreGreen is my new local and since moving from Tufnell Park I keep coming back to Gokyuzu & Kervan.. let's call it G&K from now on. Ok it can be a bit intimidating when busy as it's noisy. Also the lighting makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable but the service is generally excellent and the food is unbeatable.. so you can understand that I have become a bit conservative when eating out in Wood Green. G&K is a Turkish restaurant that serves some authentic food. The plates are full of meat or veg and they provide an excellent salad, bread and dip starter for free. The salad is amazingly fresh every single time, the bread is warm and the dip tasty. The mains have so far never dissapointed. My donner is not too oily and goes well with the rice that's included. My wife's vegetarian was surprising good.. the aubergine was soft, moist, slightly oily and flavoursome. I m tempted to try the veg myself next time but the donner keeps calling me. The mixed grill is exceptional value for money. It has meats, bread and rice from what I remember. You also need at least 3 people to have a proper go at it. For once we tried the dessert.. the baclava was fresh but the rice pudding (called something else) is light and delicious. Personally I prefer the Greek baclava as it's a bit more moist but your taste could be different. To help digest we had some Turkish coffee, again exceptional. Turkish food is the harder edge of middle Eastern food. I always think that they are less delicate in cooking meats than Persian which by the way is my personal favourite. However the mixture of fresh salads seems to lighten the load of the meats on the body. K&G provides both quantity and quality and is well worth a visit.

    Wood Green is ruled by Turkish and polish shops. So to discover a new Turkish restaurant/take away…read moreafter 3 month absence is not a big deal. By myyyyy did it look good from the outside. Warm colours, a wide range of seating arrangements and loads of nice full plates. My friend and I had a some catching up to do and this was as good a place as any. The menu is very typical. Loads of meat and not many veggie options. We ordered two starters and two mains. That was way too much! They gave us hummus, bread AND a salad on the house. Plus all the rest of the delicious food this nearly killed me, as I can never resist a great Turkish meal. Also the waiters were amazingly nice and when I asked for some extra rice it was given without any extra charge. Amazing.

    Gokyuzu & Kervan - Upstairs can be a bit more intimidating and noisier but downstairs there are crowds just by the door so choose your table carefully.

A highlight for me was the baklava which had more flavor than just the sweetness which I find in most baklava.

The owner is a very sweet and happy man who loves shaking hands and holding doors open. He's seen my partner so many times, he now hugs him when we leave. There is a large selection of vegetarian & vegan & veganizable meze and a small selection of mains. I usually go for the "fiesta" as it is the most food for money and I can swap the halloumi for roasted veggies, no problem. So much food, so much deliciousness. But be careful everyone! The most amazing freshly baked Turkish bread is placed in front of you before the meal, along with a spicy tomato dip and olives. It's so good, it's hard to stop, and then there is no room left in your tummy for the feast of your main! Also, for drinks- the house red is quite tasty for the cheapest option. Every time someone is visiting us from out of town and we want a nice meal, we bring them here. We've brought everyone from California to Japan here and always celebrate hubby's birthday here as well. I hope you will treat your friends!
