Gulens welling in Bexley

Service was very good and professional food was very good.

Fantastic service and great food. Well recommended.

A really pleasant evening. Food was great and so was the service.

Amazing Turkish restaurant, the food is delicious and the owners are very friendly. I loved the atmosphere and I definitely recommend it

We ordered a takeaway to collect. The timing was spot on, and we collected in the time they advised. We ordered chicken shish kebabs and chips. The presentation of the kebab was nice, salad was fresh, but felt the chicken was lacking in flavour. I’m not sure what it was but we felt like something was missing. I can’t work out whether it was the separation of the salad to the meat, as the meat was on its own in the pitta with the salad on the side, it just felt a little dry I guess. The chips were steak cut, not my favourite, but tasty. The prices are reasonable also.

Amazing food really friendly, helpful staff and great prices

This place definitely offers friendly service from the moment you enter until you leave. Everyone does their job very well. Endless thanks to all the employees. And all the food and drinks are great, they do their best to make sure everything is hot and fresh.

Great 1st visit, lovely food, very friendly staff will definitely be eating there again, if you want to visit on a weekend make sure you book a table as it gets full very quickly its that good.

First time visiting and really enjoyed it. The place was packed but it didn’t feel cramped. Nicely decorated interior, very friendly and welcoming staff (one of the best parts) and the food was excellent. The chicken wings and calamari were especially good but all of it was excellent. Will definitely be back

Normally go for our take aways but decided to eat in. Was not disappointed. Nice restaurant and staff. Very tasty, good value food. Best to book ahead as very busy.

Came recommended and didn't disappoint.

Panco prawns amazing! Lamb Shish beautifully marinated and tender with a Really nice fresh salad. I will definitely use again :)

came for date night, food was good, drinks were even better! the bar staff isabelle made the drinks amazing she’s got good talent! overall lovely experience and lovely waiters

I love these guys and I am happy to give them my money. Fab tasty food and lovely banter. You can even have a lovely cold draught beer in a bottle while you wait. Doesn't get any better than that.

Always a pleasure to dine at gulens! love the revamp with the outside terrace, new menu additions food and drink, and the automatic roof. There was a new face there young male with cornrows, great customer service very attentive to our needs. See you again soon.

Lovely food and atmosphere 👌🏾 Definitely my new go to restaurant 😋

Food was so good and cooked perfectly

A lovely night celebrating a birthday. The food as always of a high standard, staff attentive and friendly and great atmosphere.

Courier had forgotten some of the items, but the restaurant were so quick to sort this out and had contacted me before the food had even arrived! Genuinely amazing service, and amazing food!

Food was sooooo tasty & good for value. 10/10 🔥

Awesome food, the service was fantastic, they were very attentive, would highly recommend, my favourite restaurant in Welling

Amazing place the service is out of this world . Will definitely coming again

Great service and we all loved our food. Quality meat, accompanied with a lovely fresh salad

You can’t get better on taste and quality. Well done everyone you get 6* out of 5 in our opinion

As always they serve the most delicious food that can be enjoyed without nasty after tastes that you can get with some foods. Always fresh and prepared with care. They say you pay for what you get and the prices are good for great food. Thank you everyone.

Dunno what’s happened with gulens … didn’t get half of my order no drinks that I ordered I got meat in a bit of bread no salad proper gone downhill on service won’t be ordering again

Lovely family run business! The owner is so nice and so is the staff. Amazing food and amazing service!! Didn’t get a picture of the food but we got a mixed share platter and it was so good great value for money.

Best Turkish restaurant about Lovley staff always a pleasure to come here!!!! 😊😊😊x Lovley staff always friendly (Lilly in particular ) Xxx

Really nice food and great service. They are very accommodating.

Have always told people Gulens is the best for miles, quality, quantity and value for money. Well the last couple of times none of that applied. The quantity was absolutely disgraceful, our meals were like child's portions. The quality wasn't very good and now so overpriced. We won't be going back again. We now know why it's always empty.

Fantastic staff great family Magic food and cocktails

Very disappointed. Music way too loud. Drinks watered down. Too much going on in a small space. Full of Jeremy Kyle single mums on the pull. Money grabbers

My daughter and her family loved it when we visited recently. It's a great family run business and they know how to welcome you with good food and a nice atmosphere.

AMAZING! 🤩 Absolutely love this restaurant! Staff are always so friendly and welcoming! The food is unreal and is definitely the best Turkish around! Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thanks for a lovely experience always!

I have never tried Turkish food that good in my whole life !!! The food is amazing I order the big mix grill and it’s insanely good ! Thank you for the great food

Food was great. Service a little slow

First time I ate here the food was spot on but after returning I gave to say the price for the quantity is disappointing, the taste was good but not amazing to be so expensive for such small portions. We had 2 olives on the plate with our sucuk and the smallest plate of Cacik I’ve ever seen it usually lasts us into our main meal but gone in 4 bites. I have also never paid £12.50 for a child’s meal when it’s one course before! The didn’t give a child’s menu so didn’t know price until bill came. There was no complimentary bread or anything, no pitta or flatbread with my shish main, order was wrong when I requested no chopped up salad and just lacking any friendliness and attentiveness from staff. It needs to be a restaurant or a takeaway not both. I don’t like that so much has been crammed in a small space leaving it with one female toilet either. Music was also jarring, just because you do love music doesn’t mean you should lose your focus on the music when there is no entertainment. Will most likely not retry again in future now.

Just stopped by for a falafel and humous wrap and it was the best I've ever had. 5*

food was cold .I ordered a mixed grill and it didn't have all the items that where listed... very disappointing for the money I paid .

Great food, atmosphere and staff are excellent. Will go again for sure !

Poor service. Food took to long. Even after booking a table had to wait for 30mins for the table and after that messed the food order.

Amazing food , excellent customer service, friendly staff 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thank you for looking after my son and his friends for his 16th birthday. He came home and said the service was amazing.

This is by far the best kebab in town and beyond! The food will not disappoint!

Would recomend the mix grill very nice people and nice food. Btw I’ll remember to pull the hand break next time

Absolutely fantastic food, service and friendliness. Definitely going back and would highly recommend this place to everyone. Food portion size was just right for all courses.

I sent 2 queries last night and I still haven't recieved my refund even though it says delivered. very poor service, I will not be ordering from Just eat ever again! when you report an issue they don't want to help or simply ignore you.

Not your average kebab experience! ⭐⭐⭐ Insanely Delicious+++ meats/meze, classy ambience, live music 🎙️🎶 I had a great experience dining at Gulen's (or Gulen Ocakbasi) in Welling, London last Saturday. The food was prepared to perfection. I've been spoiled with delicious food all my life but this was next level!! I had different Mediterranean flavors (#meze) and kebab platter. Both were exceptionally tasty. I saw where they prepare and cook on coal fire. I think this contributes to taste but still the texture, the juiciness, the taste... try it yourself! 🥩🍖🥗 Also there was live music and the singer was great. She was very entertaining with a great voice. 🎙️ Ambience was happy and classy, lighting was perfect, I will certainly take my friends and family there as I already miss the food in just a couple of days! If going on Friday/Saturday dinner time, don't forget to make a reservation. I imagine lunch times should be less tricky.

This place was great!!! Food was fresh and and very flavourful.. Would highly recommend people visit.

Amazing food, great value , very nice interior and great staff.Cant recommend enough.

I loved Gulens before they refurbished, now I really don’t know what happened. Shakshouka was old and sour, the koufta was tasteless and more of hotdog than a koufta kebabs, chicken wings were just as bad. I’ll give it a chance one more time in case they had a bad day on that day but if it’s a same I will not be back

The staff were lovely and helpful for a birthday party as they put up decorations and food was gorgeous.

Well done.... Got introduced to this kebab shop by some friends on Christmas outing last year :-) Don't judge a book by it's cover! It's actually a Turkish themed restaurant. Ambient, service with a smile and above all else excellent food. Went at weekend with wife, we reckon it knocks out all other Turkish restuarants in area.

Perfect afternoon. Food was lovely, friendly service great music .

Great food as always, will definitely be ordering again.

Very small portion for the price

Fantastic food just arrived cold and I had to re heat

Lovely food, very well presented and quality ingredients (my only gripe would be the food was very cold upon arrival and I had to heat in microwave

The yoghurt dressing leaked unfortunately and we didn't appear to have the chicken shawarma which was a shame but had chicken kofta instead. The meats were gorgeous as normal, wish it was hotter though

new build so tricky to find, but driver got here on time and found address. Good effort and thanks

Chips were cold. Otherwise, excellent as usual

One of our favourite restaurants. The food is excellent!

Thank for the good food, goos service thanks to taloula and lily

Great atmosphere great service great food would deffo recommend

Food was absolutely lovely staff was very friendly and polite

Lilly and young man was delightful

Great service. Waitresses excellent.

Family business. Absolutely amazing

Best restaurant by far. The food is delicious and customer care is outstanding. You MUST eat here you won't regret it.

Only found this place in Sept & not stopped going back! Friendly, welcome & home cooked family food. Shhhh! Don't tell everyone as I never need to book til last minute lol. Fab place. Give it a.go & you won't go visit another place! X

Great food great service....defo recommend

Excellent restaurant will use again.

Hardly any chicken! Doesn't say if it comes with salad etc. So bought extra! No sauce. Luke warm. Really disappointed after charging me £18!

Did'nt follow the request regarding the salads to be added to the kebab i.e. one kebab with salad with chilli sauce and the other with burger sauce. One kebab had three pieces of chicken in it and not much more in the other one. The food tastes nice but not worth the cost in terms of value.

10/10 every time. Best kebab in south east by far.

Will be heading to the restaurant next time, the food was absolutely delicious, best Turkish food in the area.

Fantastic service, food arrived quickly and was delicious.

Good food and great staff..never been disappointed here.

Amazing customer service, very quick and delicious food

Order from Uber eats portions are tiny even right with salad. Pitta bread wasn’t even warm and half cooked chips. Got about 5 chips with the kebab

We visited a couple of days ago and the food was amazing. We visit many different Turkish restaurants over different boroughs…Bexley, greenwich, Lewisham. Theses guys have it properly sorted. All the meat was cooked perfectly…the chicken perfect, not overdone like many places, the lamb was amazing. I left my wallet on the table, which caused huge stress. But in the morning, after tearing the house apart to find it, thought let me call the restaurant - just in case. Casually, the manager/waiter said ‘yeah I chased you out of the restaurant, but you were gone’. So, to sum up….Great food, and Great, honest people! We’ll be back weekly

Nice food good sevs in the wold

The chicken wings were super tasty and yummy. It was so juicyyy Thank you for the bread.

I came to visit the restaurant and I have to say I am absolutely disappointed. The food was dry and tasteless . I have had good Turkish food before and this was not the place . Firstly the prices were outrageous for the portions we received . Secondly the owner seemed unaware of what was going on with the meals . We ordered a small platter for two which came with two tiny pieces of bread . Not the thick kind , then thin stale kind. If you want good Turkish food travel to Green Lanes or Wood Green . Definitely worth the money at other places .SO DISAPPOINTED .

Chicken was cold Very small portion sides Not worth the money

I love the food but because it was cooked and no driver available it was warm when we got it. Also normally the shawarma was enough but today was lacking. In transit both sauces leaked, so was without a sauce. It is lovely quality meat so we enjoyed cold with the salad. Next time hopefully will be better!?

Brilliant food - birthday celebrations at this friendly and quality restaurant. I had a mixed combo of chicken Shish and lamb shawarma- delicious. Washed down with lots of Efes!! Definitely recommend.

Very poor. Shawarma was a tiny portion of cold, cut-up donner meat. Definitely not worth the price.

We have been coming here since we moved to the area - amazing food and the most wonderful, friendliest staff you could imagine! Highly recommend.

We were with a larger group and we're particularly impressed the welcome, food and had a memorable experience which will ensure our return, hopefully soon.

Excellent 👍 absolutely would recommend coming here to a lovely family business which has been running for 20 years, highly recommended

A little gem of a place. Excellent food freshly cooked, attentive staff wonderful ambiance. Have been here a few times, never disappointed.

Lovely little gem, located near welling train station!!

Disappointing. If you're after a half decent authentic Turkish restaurant this is not the place to be. Terrible doesn't even begin to describe how disappointing this experience was. They don't even do any complementary bits to start on whilst the service is super slow. Seems like everyone was just their for the alcohol and don't even realise the subpar food and service as long as their drinks are hitting.

We ordered a starter and a main and they both came up together and the waitress just said do you want it altogether then, she didn’t seem to care at all and then as I was eating the starter I pulled out a very long hair out of my mouth which was disgusting! When I told the waitress she just said shall I take it away not do you want another one! And didn’t apologise at all! Very bad service not happy at all! The meat was very over cooked as well! Won’t be coming back that’s for sure!!

Shame that food was not hot, food was great just was expecting it to be to its high standard, as soon as driver came it left. So the order was done way before, as we ordered calamari which then was not enjoyable as it should have been 😕

What has happened to this place!! I have eaten here for over 15 years and it has gone down hill massively. First it was when they changed the salad a few years ago went all chunky with loads of Dill in it and tonight I have just had the worst lamb shawarma of my life bring back the ockabsi from 10 years ago. Never ordering again!!!!

Use to go there before Covid, so happy now delivering. Love the freshness, quality and cooking of the meat plus their salad

The worst kebab I've ever had in my life!! Disgusting to be honest

Please don't order from here. I ordered two lamb swarmas and got two old lamb doner meat kebabs. They were rank.
