I am so disappointed by the total experience. All they want to do is churn out customers and make as much money as possible. We arrived a little early and immediately the waitress at the door says we have 2 hours from the moment we take the table. I said in that case we will wait outside until out actual reservation time as we were still waiting for others. At that point she conceded and let us sit at our table 20 minutes earlier - what was she going to do with the table otherwise? Serve someone else in the 20 minute gap? Fast forward to ordering our food and one of the main meals does not arrive. The waiter says when giving everyone their meal that he will go and grab it now, we wait 10minutes he comes back and says it’ll be 5 more minutes then leaves and returns again and say it’ll be a few more minutes, at this point we cancel the food as the table are sat with they meals already half eaten. The waiter offers no apology. When asked later why it didn’t arrive with the other meals he finally explains that he managed to forget to put the order through, again, with no apology. As we finish dessert he comes with the bill that we haven’t yet asked for (only 1.5hrs into a 2hr reservation) and asks us to pay as he needs the table. I am absolutely appalled by this service. I could make my peace with the overpriced food if we had had a nice meal but it was completely ruined. We will not be returning there again and do not recommend it.

So I went here last week. The place was nice very tbh ing was going well. The lady at the front welcomed me and showed us a lot of respect and love. I asked for dates I asked for tissues she accommodated helpful and promptly. As I had come from fasting I felt a lot of respect and joy for this. Now upon waiting for my table of 20 plus people. I could see something start to happen at the desk which the same lady which was helping me. A male staff member upsetting this female. As she was trying to help me. He kept making remarks. Upon continuing my night and being seated. As I went to the toilet I saw the same female start to cry. Once again a male staff and another male staff talking down to her and making her feel uncomfortable and uneasy. I walked over to speak to her as she was upset. And the same male member and his colleague. Directed me to where I needed to go. I was very upset at watching these male staff members make a woman cry in front of everyone. They had no remorse. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. As they lack basic humanistic manners. And act in a way like they are better then the customers. Very strange feeling. I must say however it’s not all staff. Overall it was a good night but left a sour taste in my mouth due to unjustly treatment for woman welcoming all guests into the store.

The decor is lovely staff on entry a bit flustered when busy . Ordered the lamb chops it came with rice which was overly buttered and cold . Ordered the calamari which came with tartar sauce in all honestly I felt like they should of got the sauce from mcdonalds it was not nice for my taste . When my main came the waiter picked up my fork and put it on the table I had to ask for a new set of utensils the lamb was nice.

I've visited this place 3-4 times over the past couple of years. As others say parking in small, so park at finchley leisure park opposite then walk. The service has definitely gone downhill. We had a reservation and arrived on time, but still had to wait 15 minutes because no tables were ready, and we were treated the same as walk-ins. What's the point of making a reservation if it doesn’t matter? The woman at the entrance who managed seating was rude and unprofessional. She made it seem like we might not even get a table and asked us to waiting the corridor by the exit. When we were finally seated downstairs in a noisy area, it felt like the staff were rushing us. The waiter asked for our order right after we sat down, before we even had a chance to look at the menu. After our starters, the waitress started clearing everything, taking our plates before our mains had arrived. When we told her we hadn't received everything yet, she gave back the dirty plates and mixed them up between tables. The starters were fine, but the mains were disappointing, with too much fat on the lamb. The price of the food definitely doesn't reflect the quality. In the past, when we came as a couple, we were given complimentary bread and salad. However, as a group of four, it was disappointing to receive the same portion as when we were half the size. The staff did not even offer to provide more bread as they have before Throughout the meal, the waitress repeatedly asked if we were done, even though we still had food left. We came to celebrate a birthday and brought a cake. We handed it to the staff at the beginning, but in the end, we decided to leave and take the cake home due to the poor atmosphere and staff behavior. They also handled the cake poorly, causing damage, even though it wasn’t served to us, which was completely unnecessary as it wasn't even brought out to us.

This restaurant has been my favourite since 2019, but not anymore. The taste of the food changed; staff became rude. Anytime I ask for well-done food, it is never well done, in fact, pink. When I order the food for delivery, it's either lamb instead of chicken, split, or not correctly cooked. It's a shame, and I decided not to go back anymore after all these years. Here is a photo with my recent order, and one of the chicken doner lid wasn't closed properly.

Ordered takeout from Gokyuzu in Finchley, really looking forward to it since the smell when you drive past is always amazing. Unfortunately, the chicken and lamb were both quite tough, which was a bit disappointing. The lahmacun was nice, but overall, the food just didn’t travel well—it seems like one of those places where you need to dine in to get the full experience. I reckon the food is much better fresh at the restaurant.

I’ve been coming here for a few years and generally it’s been above average. But today’s experience was bizarre as the chips were sort of thrown on the table. I asked for our food which was left over to be taken away and they put a box on the table and expected me to put it in the box which was weird and then lastly we hadn’t entirely finished yet one of the waitresses started cleaning the table as if to say “ ok you’re done now leave” . Suffice to say I unfortunately won’t be coming back

The service was equally impressive; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. A special mention to the manager, Hasan, Gül who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His warm hospitality truly made our visit memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing Turkish cuisine and top-notch service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

An expansive dining interior with upstairs as.w.as ground-floor seating. An open kitchen where chefs can be seen at work. Hygenically clean surroundings and welcoming courteous staff. Def is worth visiting again in the future.

Pretty great place for a satisfying meal that will leave you feeling full for hours. The portion sizes are HUGE, so do watch out for that. We got the veg mezze which came with a selection of dips and breads. The vegan kebab was disappointing, I was expecting soya or mock meat, but it was grilled vegetables which was a bit surprising for how popular vegan meats are. I would definitely say you can get full on just the starters and mezze themselves. The service was great, all the waiters were super attentive and helpful throughout ordering especially for me as I’m gluten free.

I would advise against spending your money and time there. The atmosphere resembles a nightclub, and the food lacks flavour. If you've dined at a five-star Turkish restaurant before, you'll understand. The staff aren't smiling at all. They are very cold and lack good communication skills. Serving food in black disposable gloves and not only she touched with the same gloves her face and other things like bottles, dirty dishes etc...I never have seen anything like it 🤮 This indicates poor hygiene practices. Definitely don't recommend this place to anyone!

I visited Gokyuzu Restaurant Finchley on 30/11/2024 with my family, and unfortunately, this experience left a bitter taste, not because of the food, but due to the unexpected parking penalty. I parked in front of the restaurant, as I have done on previous visits, only to find out later that I was penalized. Apparently, the rules regarding parking had changed, but no one from the staff mentioned it, nor was there any clear signage or notice at the entrance to inform customers about this change. A simple warning or a visible sign could have easily prevented this issue. We come to your restaurant to enjoy a meal and spend our money on the experience, not to unknowingly incur extra costs for parking penalties. This lack of communication from the management is disappointing and frustrating. Please ensure better communication with your customers in the future to avoid similar unpleasant situations. It is the least one can expect from a business that values it is clientele.

We always get a sharing platter - had the "jumbo" last night between two couples - I'm sure their other dishes are nice too, but I haven't tried them. Service is decent for such a busy place. Love the grilled meats. Not cheap for kebabs, but the quality seems consistently good and they've invested a fortune to build the place, which is a very large and nicely decorated venue.

We group of 9 incl kids went for the dine in and joined the queue to be seated in. I spoke to Husein at the reception, who was quite approachable and welcoming. I specially requested Husein to be seated in the patio area, when the table is available, and we as a group were happy to wait as well. After a while, we were approached by a female wth curly hair and white shirt, advising us that the table is ready, and it was in the main hall. I advised her that we would like to be seated in the patio area reason being we are with the kids and it is less noisy in the patio area. The lady with the curly hair was quite rude reasoning why we cannot take the table in the main hall on ground floor. I approached Husein and requested if he can arrange the table in the patio area. Husein advised that the table is available and can be made available in 5 mins. The lady in the curl was quite annoyed and started whinging in non English language and making faces. Husein looked after us. The ambient and food was quite good. However the customer service wasn't the best just because of the lady in the curly hair. After the food, I went looking for Husein, but apparently he was finished for the day. Thus never got the chance to say thank you to him for his kind behaviour.

Fui con la familia a cenar y mi hijo encontró un pelo en su plato. Se lo dije al camarero y dijo que informaría al gerente. Al final, el gerente ni siquiera pudo molestarse en disculparse. El camarero vino con la factura y me dijo que se ha quitado el “cargo por servicio”. Estaba muy disgustado. 1 calle porque piensan que soy estúpido, el cobro del servicio no es obligatorio, por lo tanto, no reconocieron su error. El segundo gerente no pudo molestarse en venir a nuestra mesa para disculparse o incluso preguntar si todo estaba bien, Realmente decepcionado. Pagué la cuenta pero no estoy contento con salir de la situación. Eso fue muy mal servicio al cliente a pesar de la comida que era muy buena, debo decir. Una de las razones por las que pagué mi factura completa, pero no estoy contento con la conducta de su servicio al cliente. No volveré a este restaurante en particular. Como no me trataron en consecuencia. Por esta razón mi crítica de este restaurante en Finchley califica 0 solo por el hecho de que ni siquiera les importó. También debo decir que la señora que vino a limpiar fue descuidada. Es una lástima que no haya tomado fotos

This place never fails me to indulge in such amazing food & Turkish tea! A must visit for small or large groups & I would definitely recommend this for families. We dined upstairs on a Friday evening & it was a good atmosphere, & enjoyable meal. Our drinks (mojitos x5), starters & mains came relatively very quickly. Food tasted fresh, & drinks were amazing. Only downfall was parking. As it is such a busy restaurant expanding on parking should be considered in the future. Also that they toilets are only upstairs, I do nothing think this is friendly for those who have additional physical needs. But saying this, the toilets are clean! That is so much appreciated in a restaurant. But other than that, the views from upstairs dining area is great. Always a good time here.

In a nutshell this is the best Turkish restaurant I've ever been to! This is also my favorite turkish restaurant. Customer Service is always top notch and the food is great and always keeps me coming back for more. The dining facilities and toilets are all very clean. Also the restaurant decor looks really stylish. The food portions are also decent considering the prices and you get a complimentary Turkish tea at the end of your meal :) The waiters are all really attentive, nothing is too much to ask. There is free parking outside the restaurant but when it's busy it can be a bit difficult to find a space. Thank you Gokyuzu I will be back when I'm in the area.

I attended this place for a Birthday meal.after looking at the menu because I don’t like Rice I asked if it could be exchanged for chips. And was told by the manager this would not be possible however he explained that I could buy chips on top of the meal separately. I was born in the Uk and often eat out And never have I come across a restaurant where you cannot exchange something on the menu which you don’t like or allergic to. I will never go back to that restaurant again, and the food was not that nice anyway. Lovely waitress name Aveva who was powerless to help even though she wanted to. She remained professional and kind though out the night.

The mezze platters are a great way to start, offering an assortment of dips, bread, and small bites like hummus, cacik, and baba ganoush. The bread served with the mezze is freshly baked, warm, and delicious. The grilled meats are the star of the show here. Whether it's lamb, chicken, or beef, the kebabs are cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of rich flavors. The Adana kebab and mixed grill are particularly popular choices. Each dish is served with fluffy rice or bulgur, fresh salad, and often with grilled vegetables. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring you won't leave the restaurant hungry. For vegetarians, there are also several options like grilled halloumi, falafel, and stuffed vine leaves, which are equally flavorful and satisfying. Desserts such as baklava are also highly recommended, offering a sweet and flaky finish to your meal. For a refreshing end, try their Turkish tea or coffee, which pairs perfectly with the desserts. Value for Money Considering the portion sizes and the quality of the food, Gökyüzü offers great value for money. The prices are reasonable, especially given the generous servings. It's a great place for those who want a hearty meal without breaking the bank. For large groups or families, the sharing platters offer a cost-effective way to sample a variety of dishes. Cons The main downside some diners have pointed out is the noise level during busy periods. Since Gökyüzü is a popular spot, it can get quite loud, making it difficult to have quiet conversations. Additionally, parking around the area can sometimes be a challenge, especially on weekends. Overall Experience Gökyüzü Finchley is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a high-quality Turkish dining experience. The combination of flavorful food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a go-to spot for many. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or even for a date night, Gökyüzü is sure to leave a lasting impression. Just be prepared for a lively environment and possibly a short wait during peak times. Astagfirullah

We were there with 2 small children. Had a niche with padded benches, super practical with children. The food was super tasty and very large portions. The service was very friendly and quick even though it was very busy. It definitely wasn't the last time there

Gokuyzu is a top-notch spot for families and large groups! It boasts an inviting atmosphere and delicious cuisine that’ll leave everyone happy. Highly recommended for its warm ambiance and excellent service. Lentil soup, cheese-filled pastry amongst the starters to try. Free bread which is perfect for kids to keep them sitting down👌🍽️

Food is alright, customer service has gone down drastically. Too busy to effectively serve customers. Ordered a takeaway and had to wait 45 minutes without any feedback whatsoever. It appears they only started preparing the order after I waited at the premise more than 30 minutes without any input and then informed they had made the wrong fish! Not what it used to be and can’t be recommended anymore. They seems to give priority to Deliveroo orders than anything else.

Amazing food. Travelled 2 hours and the food was brilliant. Customer service was also 10/10 and staff were very attentive. Highly recommend the Sarma Beyti, Muska Boregi and Warm Baklava

La comida es buena y nuestro camarero inicial estaba bien ... . . PERO en general el personal de espera era grosero, indiferente y no entendía ni hablaba inglés... en un momento había una fila de ellos mirando a los comensales... En realidad no es lo que quieres cuando vas por algo de comer ... tuvimos que pedir muchas cosas, incluyendo más servilletas ... y la camarera antipática trajo uno ... . ¡En serio arréglalo!

Great food, nice decor and ambience but somehow lacked the vibe. Service acceptable but not brilliant.

Food was nice, but a bit overpriced, we were waiting a while for our food and the restaurant was so loud. My boyfriend and I couldn't hear each other speak.

Unfortunately the food wasnt great and was overpriced for what it was. The shisha was decent and we got regular coal changes. The toilets are situated in Boga steak house next door, these were the most weirdest toilets ever, with no locks and in 2/3 of the stalls the door could not shut. In the one stall that the door could shut, the light did not work. Friendly and lovely staff, 10/10 service very welcoming! just a shame about the other things.

Google maps says open. Came here Sunday 12th feb at 2pm. People inside but doors locked. Rude security guard says it’s closed but no reason given. Avoid at all costs.

Thankfully this dumpster fire of a restaurant has closed, seemingly having the premises repossessed by the landlord, and we can only hope that it's replaced by something half decent.
