Went for a family dinner to my hairdresser's favourite Turkish restaurant in London, Chingford's…read moreGökyüzü. We ordered the following: - Full Platter It's a relatively decent mix of nicely barbecued lamb and chicken served with a generous amount of rice and bulgur. The chicken wings were the surprise hit edging out the lamb ribs which were also tasty. Not quite the best Turkish food I've ever had and the staff forgot our order of lahmacun so not a repeatable experience for me.

This is a Turkish Restaurant which offers a wide selection of menu items based on Turkish dishes…read more It offers set menu's, has a wide selection of drinks, Alcohol etc. It has live music (Turkish) offering really entertaining nightlife activity. There are singers singing pop, folk etc songs. There is plenty of dancing etc. The atmosphere is fantastic. excellent for Romantic evenings out or going out with the family. It caters for birthday parties etc. The service is first class. The set menu is incredible, the meze is so large it fills the whole table!!!, the main meal is grilled meats, poultry etc with rice & salad. It is really a lovely night out for Romantics (with music playing in the background) or for groups who want to have a good meal with some dancing all for a good price. Its a Good Value evening out.. (Parking is on street)..... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. (If you are on facebook check it out en-gb.facebook.com/cyprusmezebar).

I'd been to this restaurant before about 4 years ago midweek and remembered the food was really…read moregood and so plentiful that I couldn't manage it all (which is not like me!). As I'm about to move away from East London for a quieter life in Hampshire, I decided this would be the best place locally to have my last supper. I wasn't wrong. I booked a table for 5 on a Saturday night I didn't book it until late afternoon but they were able to accommodate us. It's a set menu only on a Saturday night (I forgot to ask how much that was but it worked out, including wine, beer and a couple of spirits to around £30 per head). For that you get meze starters cold starters such as taramasalata, hummus, delicious aubergine bake thing etc with constantly topped up fresh sesame seeded bread and more dishes being brought out, then hot starters such as cheese & spinach filo parcels, little lamb kofte kebabs, breadcrumbed fish, grilled haloumi etc. By now you're quite full (especially if you overdid it on the fresh bread with your hummus) and you think it must be the end, when you're told you can order more (as much as you like) meze starters, it's all included in the set price. So you order more of your favourite items. And then, when you are well and truly stuffed, you are brought out your rather large main meal! Mine & my friends were a mixed grill & salad with lamb, herbed sausage (and I can't remember what the 3rd thing was but it was delicious anyway) and I'd already advised when I booked that my brother's family were vegetarian / ate fish so theirs was 2 fabulously cooked melt in the mouth swordfish steaks. And finally, after all that, we were brought out 2 large platters of very refreshing fresh fruit slices (kiwi, pineapple, grapes etc). The waiter & waitress looking after our area were excellent and very attentive always on duty watching, without being obvious, when any table had finished a dish / needed topping up or someone wanted them to come over, and the atmosphere, with the Turkish live music / singing was happy, fun and relaxed like a family party. It was a real ideal family restaurant and I'm kind of kicking myself for not going more often before I moved away!

This place is so fresh-it feels really nice to eat here after being in search of FRESH & lite fare!…read moreThe salad they provide is delicious and they also give you their yogurt and cucumber dip along with delicious home baked flat bread..ALL DELICIOUS already. Next the appetizers, the Baba ghanough was one of my favorite starters-it was so perfectly made and balanced, different and better than what I'm used to. The fried halloumi is fried cheese...def a win-I love halloumi cheese! The feta and melon was good; the feta is a mild feta cheese (which I actually liked). We were already pretty full here, but then our orders came. We ordered the iskandar kabob, Adana kabob, and chicken doner...everyone was happy and ate almost all of their food (and there is a lot of food) We couldn't resist ordering dessert, considering how delicious the food was...it was a must! And WOW.....it's a must. The kunafa-#1 top kunafa I've ever had...served with cream/butter that is exceptionally tasty with the kunafa! The rice pudding-#2 favorite and delicious! Not too sweet, slight hint of rosewAter...tasty! The cheesecake-#3-fresh pomegranate on top of delicious not too sweet cheese. This was my sisters favorite. She claimed it was one of the most unique and delicious cheesecakes she has ever had! The baklava:#4 the pistachios in the baklava were so delicious, but this wasn't our favorite balaclava ever! I would fly to London to eat here!

My go-to dish is the Adana Köfte - I go for the large portion. It comes with a delicious side salad (traditionally liberally sprinkled with Sumac) and a heaping of fat bread and yogurt dip. The atmosphere is busy...it's a large space. But the service is efficient and quick. This is a great place to go to with a larger group as they have excellent sharing platters.

Bad dirty shop the owner was sat on the best seat doing nothing instead of cleaning the floor and tables and not looking at the dodgy operation they're running...theis place should be closed down. I'm sure it's got bad hygiene rating as well.

Fantastic place! I was working in the area and went in for lunch…read more The restaurant is just behind Edmonton bus station. It looks really nice, you would not expect something like this there. I had a mixed donner kebab which was amazing!!! Both, chicken and lamb, were tender, nicely seasoned, accompanied by mixed rice. On the side they brought me an incredible fresh salad (I am sorry I was in a hurry and didn't ask what was in it, but it complimented so well the meat!), home made, oven backed flat bread, which was soft and warm (I am a huge fan of bread), tzatziki and cold aubergine salad. Thank God I was hungry, the portions were huge and I didn't want to leave anything on the plate :) With delicious food, that is great value for money, and friendly stuff, I definitely recommend this place.

The Woodoven BBQ in South Woodford…read more If you want a relaxing meal outside of the hustle and bustle of the city of London, the Woodoven is the spot! Awesome atmosphere and friendly faces always gets my attention and dollar! Didn't know if it was going to be a typical BBQ spot or a place with an awesome flavor! I started with the bread and humus! Delicious! Humus; creamy with a cucumber and pickle flavor. Next I had an awesome bowl of "Garlic mushrooms", grilled and sauteed with an awesome savory taste! I will never forget! My final dish is the calzon with Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, cheese and green peppers! It's probably too much food, but there's always takeout! Just know that you get Big bang for your buck! I chased it down with bottled water and a glass of rose wine! With love, Chef ElJai'

Used to be my local and I love it so much that even after we moved to another borough I wouldn't…read morelet the fact that they didn't deliver to our area keep me from enjoying their food - we drive there every now and again to get a takeaway. There is now another restaurant also called Wood Oven on George lane, closer to the station; same owners maybe, but a different, more upmarket looking vibe. The ambient is informal and noisy in a good, cheerful way; perhaps not the place for an intimate meal, but if you want to enjoy a lively evening you're in the right place. They don't take reservations, but the restaurant have enough seats so the turnover is quick and you won't have to wait ages. In the winter, avoid if possible the tables next to the door to the loos (by the way loos are located outside, at the back) to avoid drafts from people who were born in a barn and leave it wide open. All the ingredients are fresh, and the meat is cooked to perfection, never dry or overcooked. I often get falafel for starters, nice texture and really tasty. I love the lamb shish; I even managed to convert my mother who said she didn't like lamb. Do try the Wood Oven Special if you aren't sure of what to order; it combines lamb and chicken shish, kofta, lamb chops/ribs, chicken wings, rice and salad and serves (well) two people. The rice deserves special mention, SO fluffy and flavoursome. Staff is lovely, smiley and accommodating. Once we were politely asked if we could change tables in order to allow a family to combine two tables and sit together; we happily obliged and got a free extra dish as a treat. Sweet.
