Gokce in Central Bedfordshire

Enjoyed a beautiful meal on Saturday . From the moment we walked in the atmosphere was amazing and the service was fantastic. The food was delicious I had the king prawn casserole I would definitely recommend . The wine and cocktails were also perfect and our overall experience was very enjoyable. We will definitely be back thanks for a great night !

I liked it very focal Food beautiful atmosphere 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Best restaurant in our opinion, not just in Shefford but in the surrounding area. We had a takeaway this time and shared a platter for 2. We cannot recommend this highly enough, the food arrived very quick and piping hot, the chicken shish was delicious, the koftes and lamb cubes lovely, we love that you get bulgar wheat as well as rice and salad. But the lamb chops are the best I’ve had anywhere! The portion sizes with the shared platter is always excellent. Finally, we tried for the first time ever Turkish Rice Pudding and it was an instant favourite! We will be adding this to future orders for sure.

My partner’ & I stumbled across the Gokce whilst looking for a place to dine . Welcoming, a warm atmosphere. . Looked after by Sophie . Food was delicious. Served efficiently . Will definitely be returning very soon

We had a lovely meal here, the food was tasty and portions were a good size. Service was friendly and the parking is free via registering your car inside.

We've recently moved to Shefford and have eaten in once and had a takeaway once. The standard and quality of food is great, the staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you enjoy Turkish food then give Gokce a try! BTW if you order online abd collect, currently there's a 15% discount applied at checkout!

Cancelled order after half hour! No reason, absolute bunch of you know what’s.

The manager of the restaurant was very accommodating, he provided excellent customer service. More importantly, the food, was delicious. You could tell that everything was freshly cooked to perfection. We had lamb and chicken shish and it was delicious. Definitely the best Turkish we have tried around the area. It was reasonably priced and we are looking forward to going back!

Best Turkish restaurant I have ever been and its going to be hard to beat! Have tried many meals on different occasions and always food is perfectly cooked - literally. Even just speaking of rice - is so tasty!!! Can’t wait to visit there again. Thank you for always warm welcome <3

Excellent food and service even though it was busy.

We have dined here a few times now. Im a chef and find it hard to find good food in the area. The food is fantastic tasty well seasoned and nicely presented. The staff and owner are very attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend a visit you won’t be disappointed.

Went here in about April and honestly the food was absolutely divine. I still think about it randomly sometimes. Everything was cooked perfectly and the waiter was very pleasant. Was very good value for money. I'm not from the area but if I ever go back that way, will definitely be stopping by!

We waited over an hour and a half for our main course, which did not arrive before we left! We asked twice how much longer they would be, to be told by the waiting staff "we don't know what's going on!" Starters were good but the food just stopped coming out of the kitchen, leaving tables waiting for orders to be completed. Communication was appalling

Went for lunch today - £11 for 2 courses and they were absolutely delicious and t substantial servings sizes. Great service great food great price - what more do you want ! Well done Gocke - hope you keep going with it 👍

Really really nice succulent meat dishes food was top notch and a nice change to your standard curry houses!

Had a lovely mid week dinner last night. Chicken shish was super healthy and light. Kadir looks after you very well. You must visit if you’re in the local area!

GREAT food. Can’t recommend this place enough. Staff are super nice, menu has great variety (all of our party really enjoyed their meals). Will definitely be going back!

We experienced a rather disappointing meal here after having high expectations from looking at lots of good reviews. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive and the atmosphere was nice. Salads and cold meze starters were great. But the mixed seafood grill was the first disappointment; there was no sign of it having been grilled and the fish and prawns were very plain. We were assuming they would have been grilled on a charcoal fire but it didn't look or taste like that and seemed to have been cooked in an oven. The vegetable shish was also a let down; it didn't have the asparagus, baby corn or halloumi. We told the staff about this and they apologised, saying the new chef had changed the menu a bit (fair enough, but they could've warned before we ordered) but the halloumi had just been forgotten about so they bought some out on a side dish. The lamb was a bit on the chewy side, chicken was good. The sticky toffee pudding was also good but the baklava had a coarse black hair in it which was rather unpleasant. We notified the staff who were very apologetic and said they wouldn't charge for that dish. As mentioned, the staff seemed very nice and some of the food was good so I'm leaving 2 stars. But we were disappointed by all of the problems, especially as we politely informed them each time so they had a chance to reconcile but they only apologised, with this many issues it felt like that wasn't enough.

Nice place to eat very friendly staff

We went for lunch midweek, it was quiet but the food was excellent and the service was good too. Great value for what we got. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended, especially their weekday lunchtime offer. Beautiful food. Return visit- the food is just as lovely and the manager recognised us and remembered that we are both gluten free. Can't wait to go back

First time meal during a quiet mid afternoon but lovely for it. Great service and very tasty , good size portions. Would, and will, go again.

Massive back garden to be enjoyed in beautiful weather. Only minor issue was the flies and ants all around the tables. If the furniture can get treated to repel them it will be really lovely place. And for people who doesnt know or wishes to know you can park your car right next to it and go in there to provide your reg plate for them to sort out. Otherwise it is £1 for 3 hours anyway. We got cold and hot starters and mains and guess what yes We absolutely packed and couldnt finish. Lamb shish was real dime. I didnt enjoy the adana as much as the shish.

Highly recommended, fantastic food and service.

Absolutely legendary food and fantastic service. Well worth a drive in!

This place is worth the journey. Book in to avoid sorrow. Fresh, authentic and a very friendly owner!

5* service and food, lovely restaurant too.

Nice welcome and service although it slowed down after the mains unfortunately. Marked the atmosphere down as it was a lunchtime so probably not the best time to judge. Food was great, very tasty, good sized portions and we felt well priced, would definitely go back again, thanks!

Wonderful place. Food, atmosphere, staff all were exceptional. Food was delicious. A very comfortable and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The owner and every member of his staff were wonderfully welcoming and friendly, and service was excellent

İt was a fantastic diner,foods was delicious,staff was frlendly,I can strongly recommend to people

The food is absolutely delicious 2nd time we've had take away from here. The price seems quite high but don't be put off they're not stingy the portions are huge. Staff seem really friendly. We will be eating in with friends and family in the future 👌

Excellent value in the 2 course lunch menu.

Very good service and a warm welcome from the manager/owner. Nice decor. The food quality is excellent. This seems to be one of the best Turkish restaurants we’ve tried in the north Herts/central Bedfordshire region. It’s everything you expect from Turkish restaurant, but with added extra attention to detail.

Great food and a lovely relaxing meal.

Very tasty. Comfy and warm atmosphere

Fantastic food ! Everything was faultless and delicious. Wonderful ambience and friendly staff. If I lived closer I would go every week!

Done a fantastic job on the decor of the place and the food is very good. Management and staff are very friendly and the service is excellent. Highly recommended.

Friendly welcome, attentive service, delicious appetisers, four different starters and four mains from the set lunchtime menu. Every dish was excellent, perfectly cooked, attractively presented, generous portions and so very tasty. Two courses for just 12 quid! Add in a reasonably priced bottle of shiraz, strong, rich coffee and authentic Turkish delight. Will we be back ? What do you think? Outstanding.

I'm a first timer at Gokce and very much enjoyed an impulsive lunch with my husband there today! The restaurant inside is lovely, stylish and relaxing and we had great service right from the moment we arrived. Happy we came here, the lunch menu itself had lots of choice (the chef was happy to cater for my dairy intolerance) and the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Portion size was large for both the starters and the mains, we thoroughly enjoyed it in particular my falafels and sea bass. We'll hopefully be back again soon for lunch or dinner with family. Very good value for money, excellent restaurant 😀

Lovely food and relaxed atmosphere

Friendly staff great food and well worth visiting

Excellent food and service, will be looking to come back. A good place for a family meal.

Just had a lovely lunch at Gokce, our first time eating out with our baby and they were very accommodating especially as my partner is currently dairy free due to our baby’s milk intolerance. The food was delicious and the value for money is fantastic. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely fantastic food and gorgeous restaurant next to a stunning river. Thank you to all the staff for making this such a wonderful night.

Went for a lunch one weekday. Quiet but food was great and freshly cooked. Excellent service.

We got a takeaway from here this evening 1st time! We initially could not decide between this place and the airman kitchen (another Turkish restaurant) as we'd never tried either. WOW, so so glad we've tried here first, the food is impeccable and truthfully going to be very hard to beat. Portion size is HUGE on both starters and mains, amazing. They've now gained customers for life and we'll be taking family and friends in here for meals when they visit. 100% 5* and well worth the £ 👌

Expensive, newly opened staff don’t have uniforms

Absolutely terrible food. Very slow service and overpriced for what it is.

The team here are VERY accommodating, polite, considerate and cannot do enough to help you. The service is impeccable and the food is incredible - everything is so fresh and delicious! Will always come back. It is fantastic!

Excellent and friendly service. Very tasty food.

Been twice this month. very nice

Great service, delicious food. Definitely worth a try and definitely will go back

Family meal tonight and as always excellent food, service and value for money!! In walking distance for us but would recommend to friends as worth the travelling for the experience... thank you and look forward to seeing you soon 😀

Ordered on just eat, food arrived faster than expected, gentleman that delivered was polite and friendly, food was piping hot and was undeniably the best food I've had in a long time from a restaurant. Fantastic! Will be looking forward to booking a table in the near future

Came tonight for the first time. Incredible food, as a vegetarian there was loads of choice. Rest of table loved their food too. Staff and owner were really attentive and friendly. The inside is well decorated and feels like you are going somewhere special. We cannot wait to return - thank you

Had a wonderful meal here with 5 friends. The food was outstanding & the service was brilliant too! Definitely recommend this place ❤️

Most delicious food, professional team. Definetelly will visit again.

I eat at alot of Turkish Restaurants and this one ticks the box, Amazing Food, Amazing Service. Highly Recommended

Excellent food and GREAT customer service. The view outside is so beautiful. I just have to repeat how good the food was and how extra nice this server was, felt very homey and very nice. Best customer service i got.

It was best food I ever have thanks all of you guys

I can’t recommend it more best food i ever

Wonderful wonderful restaurant. Honestly, if you're local, and you haven't tried here yet - go! Lovely food, decor, ambiance. Superb local business that deserves to succeed.

Excellent food and great service. I particularly enjoyed the hummus and adana. Lovely spice.

Great tasting food, slightly on the expensive side but worth a visit!

Great Food, Great Ambience and Fabulous Staff that could not do enough. Will definitely be going back!!

Absolutely delicious 😋 I have tried many Turkish and this was very good. The dips, the bread, the rice was all fresh and lovely. The meat was perfect and juicy. Thanks guys xx

Amazing food, great staff and a really good night out. Will be back very soon x

Had an excellent night there celebrating with friends. Food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent!

Such a great night had by all! 21 of us, but couldn’t fault the food and service! Lovely cocktails on arrival. Great atmosphere, will be visiting again soon!

Lovely food that came out fast, but appalling service which was very intrusive, rushed & a little rude. I won’t be going back.

It was a warm welcoming. The staff was very friendly. The food was very delicious and tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant. We definitely will come back soon.

Very friendly staff!! Food was amazing. Went there 2 days in a row. Will be back for sure and definitely recommend to everyone who loves Turkish food!

Lovely environment and a great meal. First time having Turkish food was really good. Great staff and good service. The food was a little dry, but that might be because of my lack of knowledge of Turkish food and should have chosen a dish with a sauce. Would definitely recommend if you have not been.

A good meal in this newly-opened Turkish restaurant. Will definitely be going back!

Absolutely delicious! Great portion sizes. Presented beautifully and the taste was incredible. will definitely be going back! The staff were great, couldn’t do enough for us and made us very welcome and wasn’t rushed to leave.

The food was excellent and the service from all of the staff was brilliant. I'd highly recommend and will definitely be going again

Fairly varied choice of turkish food, well cooked and presented. Very friendly staff.

Great food but mega expensive for a kebab on a plate.

Lovely meal at Gokce last night. Despite an extremely packed restaurant the staff managed to provide an excellent and friendly service (special praise to Mos and Charlotte). All of our meals were really tasty, well cooked and nicely presented. Will definitely be going back.

The food was absolutely delicious and mouth-watering. Brilliant service from the staff, the restaurant was cosy, warm-welcoming and outstanding. I would definitely come back for more. Definitely a brilliant place to go with friend, family and a beautiful place for a date.

Great service with a varied menu. Really lovely choice of food and drinks. Such a change from the usual Chinese, Indian, pub grub style cuisine.. will be back again for sure.

Had a great meal here to celebrate my daughters birthday. Food was delicious with plenty of choices to suit everyone. The waiter, Moz was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The owner even came over and spoke to us for 10 minutes or more to make us welcome and explain about plans for the restaurant, which sound great - love the ideas for the outside space. Would highly recommend.

The perfect birthday meal at Gokce! Food was absolutely delicious and we were looked after very well by Moz!! Thank you, we will be back!!

Lovely food in a freshly renovated restaurant. Tad expensive but it was tasty!

Very welcoming and friendly staff, with a nice atmosphere. Good selection of wines and other beverages to choose from before ordering from the food menu. The food was VERY good, and the portion sizes were generous. I will be definitely going back!

Had a fantastic meal there tonight food was lovely and staff very attentive drinks also good lovely decorated and ambiance will definitely be back loved it

Love this Restaurant the food is amazing. The shish kebab and chicken is so tender and tasty, The Haloumi Sticks are the best I have ever tasted along with the avocado dip it comes with. I was watching other people receive their food and was so impressed with the presentation can't wait to go and try some more different dishes. Everything is clealy prepared fresh on site you can taste the freshness in every bite. The service was brilliant really attentive and friendly staff. Please try you won't be disappointed. AMAZING

First time trying since opening and really glad we did, nice surroundings with ample adjacent parking, attentive and friendly service from staff, excellent quality food and good overall value for money - Shefford has moved up a good few notches in it’s restaurant choices however, don’t tell everyone as you might just have to wait to get in !!

Really enjoyed my time at this new place. Bit pricey but portions size ample. Amazing cocktail menu! Best tiramisu I’ve had. Looking forward too the beer garden opening in the summer

The meat is cooked well and the salad are sweet and very crisp, the portions of the food served (including starters) were really good, I loved the drinks / desserts available (I had the mojito and tiramisu :). Beautiful restaurant, and I can’t wait to come back when the garden is open!

Monday night was such an amazing day i had the best night out with my friends. the food was amazing so was the cocktails.The decorations were beautiful the portions were generous i took my left overs aswell and the staff were very welcoming very nice service and food i highly recommend it to you guysss thanks a lot.

Slightly pricey, generous portion sizes. Friendly staff, good atmosphere. Tasty food! Will be happy to return!

Great place with a variety of starters and good portion sizes. The drinks menu was also amazing I loved the cocktails offered. The ambience added to the perfect evening out.

Great food and kind staff. The ambience was nice. Tiramisu was the best I've ever had would definitely recommend. The portions are also very generous.

Staff were really nice, wasn’t waiting too long for food/drinks especially considering it was quite busy, food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere all night was great! Would definitely come here again and recommend it!

Went with my family for the first time on Friday Was absolutely beautiful great service everyone was very welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious great value for money

Good food but no effort to make any real changes to the decor and feel from it previously being a thai restaurant. Felt like we were an imposition at 10pm on a Friday night… brought the bill without asking for it, not allowed to order drinks and told they were looking to close! So much for the effects of COVID, forced closure and the suffering hospitality industry. No wonder Shefford is a ghost town now in regards to pubs and restaurants.
