Gunaydin Restaurant in Milton Keynes

Good food, good atmosphere and good service

I think for the money I was expecting it to be better. A bit disappointed.

My wife and I had a REALLY enjoyable meal, the food was really good and the ladies that looked after us were Great THANK YOU see you again

One of the best Turkish restaurants I’ve been to. The food worth every penny! And the service was fab! Deffo coming back again!

Günaydın is a wonderful destination for authentic Turkish cuisine. The warm ambiance and attentive service create a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for any occasion. The kebabs are expertly grilled and bursting with flavour, while they also offer a delicious variety of fresh and vibrant starters. Don’t miss the baklava—it’s a perfectly sweet way to end your meal. Günaydın delivers a memorable dining experience with every visit. ★★★★★

Really nice place, great deco/atmosphere, the food was delicious and plentiful, nice touch with the Turkish tea at the end of the meal, staff were really on their A-Game and really helpful, will defiantly be back again as we were so stuffed we didnt have desert !

Good quality food and big portions

Wow. The food was amazing, so fresh and beautifully seasoned. Some of the best lamb I have ever eaten. The service was absolutely brilliant. Our waitress Julita was fantastic. We wanted for nothing. Great customer service. We will be back again. Thanks.

Very friendly staff and delicious food at a fair price ( cheap compared to junk food ) definitely will comeback

No matter if I am going with my friend to have some cocktails and coffee or if we are having nice dinners with family and friends We are always having a great time at Gunaydin Restaurant. We are always feeling welcomed. The atmosphere if friendly and the service is just amazing. Usually we are being served by Imran and he makes sure we get to spend the best time there 🙏🥰

Amazing food, large portions and will definitely order again in the future.

The staff were very attentive! The food portions were massive and very tasty! The meat was cooked perfectly! It practically melts off the bone!

First time going to this restaurant myself, the decor inside is so lovely and bright. It is my birthday today and when our server Gabby heard, she jumped up in excitement to ask who’s birthday it was and wished me a happy birthday. The service was lovely, thank you Gabby. A part from being the last to get my food and having to wait for my food for at least 10 mins after my table got theirs. What made up for it was Gabby organising a cake for me with happy birthday written on the plate, sparkler candle, lights in the restaurant low and the happy birthday song playing through the restaurant! It was quite special. It was a good experience and topped off a lovely birthday. Thank you everyone!

Very delicious food. Would recommend and buy again!

We have a lovely time, it was our Anniversary, I called to reserve half n hour before and mentioned its for our Anniversary. Staff were really Friendly and welcoming. They treat us with cake at the end. Which made it extra special . Definitely will recommend Food is delicious . Thank You once again.

Delicious food. Always excellent quality and delivered promptly.

Food was okay. Party of 9 service for a big birthday service was poor no offer for more drinks. Food missing at every course. Rude unhelpful staff just go to Pasha in bletchley!

My Dad took me here as a birthday treat and it was lovely. Top service and good meal.

Food not great i had better from a supermarket microwave meal

I visited this restaurant for my birthday with friends and had an amazing experience. The Turkish dishes were the best I’ve ever tasted, full of authentic flavor. The service was excellent, especially the young waitress who was incredibly nice and friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Lovely atmosphere and staff was very friendly. Helped us with the order and all halal menu was a treat. enjoyed the virgin pina colada. Location is nice and central. Food tasted quite good. Definitely recommend for Turkish and Mediterranean food.

Top notch food beautifully cooked. Big portions

Food and service was excellent.

But that has little to do with Turkish food. There are also a lot of Turkish dishes missing. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The fact that an extra service fee is then added to the bill really annoys me. You always only see this when you are already at the table and want to choose your food. My food was ok, my wife's is much better at our Indian home. The price for the food on offer is already high, especially because of the service fee.

We dined in on a Tuesday, just as the restaurant opened at 12pm. The service was adequate, however the servers were probably still getting settled in for the day, so excusable. The food was adequate too - nothing special and nothing that puts them apart from the competition. Decor was nice, very Instagram-able if you’re into taking selfies, etc… Overall, for the price paid in return for the food and service provided, this place rates average in my opinion and there are better options elsewhere in Milton Keynes with either more competitive pricing, better food or superior service. Im sure I’ll be dining there again - but I’ll be in no rush. My 10 year old would love this place due to the decor.

Food is amazing, service is excellent

gave us completely different items..please can you issue a refund

Fantastic food, had a sharing plate and was too much to eat! Polite and friendly service. Great value for money.

It was an amazing place to have my girls dinner night, amazing food, the waitress was really kind! It was just a really good experience! I will recommend it!

Delectable Turkish food in a friendly and welcoming place.

Decent Turkish food. Clean restaurant, good service, my only gripe was they wouldn't bring the garlic and chilli sauce until the bread was ready, which meant my main was waiting for 4-5mins and getting cold.

Decided to finally visit this restaurant after reading the excellent reviews. Wasn’t disappointed. Extensive menu including vegetarian and gluten free options. Ordered drinks and within a minute they arrived! Didn’t have to wait long for food which arrived piping hot. Food was delicious and portions are generous. Definitely recommend.

The quality is the best, as always, the first restaurant that strikes to my mind when someone asks me where to eat in Istanbul, the price however, has skyrocketed since last year.

What an absolutely fantastic restaurant!!! I visited with my sister & niece in the early evening (after quite a sad personal day) and the staff really lifted our spirits without even realising! Noor and his staff (especially Imran) provided excellent & super friendly customer service and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with everything. The restaurant itself has the most beautiful décor, so you really feel like you’ve stepped into somewhere special! As for the food – all I can say is Wow! Wow! Wow! All three of us had the king prawn starters, which were the large, plump freshwater prawns (peeled) in the most delicious sauce and served on a large thin poppadum style bowl with salad. I am still thinking about those juicy prawns and can’t wait to have them again! A very generous portion too!! For mains we had lamb shish and the salmon option – again the lamb was beautifully marinated and very tender, as was the salmon with sauteed new potatoes. I remember all of us commenting on how glad we were that we had chosen this restaurant to come and eat in as we really did need a good experience all round. Although we were very full after the complimentary bread and first two courses, we decided to share a dessert of baklava with ice cream, so asked for three spoons. Again, we were so pleasantly surprised when 3 plates turned up with the baklava cut into 3 pieces with a scoop of ice cream on each plate and we were told that they were not going to charge any extra – what amazing customer service! I really wish all restaurants were like this instead of the penny-pinching attitude some have! I was really made to feel like my experience as a customer was really important to the Noor and his team! Roll on the next visit!!

This place was lovely. The aesthetics were gorgeous, friendly staff and appetising food. Loads of effort into the food here, and the service was great! Would love to come again someday, very pleased!

Loved every single bit! The decorations were gorgeous, and our waitress was so kind and helpful. A load of effort was placed into the food and it was delicious!

Everytime I go food is of the best quality and service is amazing! Staff are friendly and welcoming they go above and beyond.

Visited a number of times and it has always been spot on, staff very attentive. Took my first takeaway from here a couple of nights ago and had a great experience, no complaints at all. Teşekkürler

Very tasty food and the staff were very polite. excellent service.

Great food and excellent service at Gunaydin! Highly recommend!

Great service, food was good. Waitress was really attentatove and really friendly, disnt catch her name to be able to compliment her sadly.

Dined with family, including 3 small kids. Our hostess was very attentive and accommodating when the kids got playful. Service was quick, food was absolutely amazing! If I could have eaten more I would have ordered much much more. The lamb was beautifully cooked and succulent. One of the meals wasn’t cooked as much as we had hoped - our fault, we didn’t specify we needed it well done. However, this was no trouble for the staff to rectify. Beautiful pistachio baklava. Overall, really authentic flavours, great chefs and lovely staff! When back in town we shall surely visit again!

Amazing service and food!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️especially today as the waiter saw it was my sisters birthday and offered to bring out a cake to surprise her without us having to ask. Thank you so much for the service and the lovely staff who also recommended where we should take some nice birthday pictures. Defo recommend

Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with flavor. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience! Ps. Loved the spicy souse that you give with bread, I added it everywhere 🥰 and special thank you for the ice cream 🍨

Wasn't sure what to expect, but omg this place deserves at 10 star rating. From food, service to atmosphere everything ticked all of the boxes and more .Even made my wife a cocktail that wasn't even on the menu. If you want great Turkish food, then definitely give this place a visit

My visit to Gunaydin Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant in Milton Keynes was an absolute delight. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dining experience. The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Turkish and Mediterranean dishes, each prepared with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the mixed grill, which was cooked to perfection. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meal in a pleasant setting.

Came in this afternoon. Nubil and Nural were really great. They made sure we were happy with the meal and provided us the best service we have ever seen.

Stopped off during work, great food nice deco.

We visited the restaurant to order takeaway, immediately we were greeted and welcomed. Beautiful atmosphere, it looks incredible inside. The food is always impeccable and delicious. The gentleman offered us a drink whilst we waited for our takeaway, and we incredibly friendly and polite. Wonderful place!

One of the best pre wedding programme we have been attended. Fantastic food wonderful service , service was extremely great . We will visit again soon.

So not impressed compared to Pasha in Bletchely. Dish names are similar, but salad is not so fresh, bread is soggy and hard, Kalamari is greasy, meat is less tender. Packaging is less considerate. Will return dining at Pasha.

My favorite Turkish restaurant in Milton Keynes. Interior is beautifully decorated. Food is amazing. Plenty of parking. Staff is very attentive and friendly.I've even had a large family event here (120 people) and it was very well managed by the staff, especially by Nabil and Imran. Kudos to the management for providing a great overall experience to their visiting customers. Try their fresh Baklava with Turkish chai.... amazing.

Excellent Ambience and food. Keep up the good work!

Held my niece’s engagement reception at this place. Absolutely amazing food and service. They went out of their way to accommodate all our needs. Highly recommend.

Could not be more thankful for everything!!! Been a while since we are visiting this restaurant!! Since it was opened in 2021 I think! We celebrated my child’s christening, and then, her birthday, and many other days! The food is always amazing!!! The service is awesome!!! Unfortunately, I have got dairy allergy! There is an amazing manager, can't remember his name... But always friendly and helping with any enquiries! Just recommend everything!!! The best one so far! P.S. Today Even got some Turkish tea on the house which was soo nice! 😇

Visited today after a previous good visit. We asked for a chicken platter for 4 and they brought us a platter for 2 without any explanation when clearly there were 4 of us! The menu stated cocktails and mocktails were 2 for 1 but didn't explain they would bring us 2 of each so our children ended up with drinks they didn't want 2 of! Very little atmosphere and average service. Sadly we won't be returning.

Sharing Platter for two is not a good value for money. From my previous experience, having taken away the Gunyadin special which costs less than half was better value for money. Therefore, I do not rate their Sharing platter to be good for value. Having phoned and spoken to their Manager, they couldn't explain to me why Gunyadin special was a better value than the Sharing platter. As well as this, the Sharing platter is more less the same than the special, all you get is more sauces, salads and bread. I recommend to others, if you want to get a Sharing Platter, you should just get 2 Gunyadin specials.

We came here twice a year but every time come here food and service still very good. They have discount 20% for day time on weekday also. Our house far from restaurants but nice to come back and enjoy the meal again.

Finally I found my favourite place to eat. Me and my family are here at least one time in a month. Food is always great quality. Portions are big and I need a wheelchair to take me out home in so full. Kids was enjoying mixed hot meze and my wife seabass. Staff are helpfull and always polite. No wonder place is so busy.

Very friendly staff , tasty food and quality service

From the moment my daughter and I stepped into the warm embrace of Gunaydin, we knew we were in for a special treat. Nestled in the bustling heart of Kingston, Milton Keynes, Gunaydin is a haven where authentic Turkish flavors meet unparalleled hospitality. Every dish we savored was a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Turkey. The chefs at Gunaydin are not just cooks but artisans, who meticulously craft each meal to perfection. The Mezze platter was a vibrant tapestry of taste and texture, the succulent kebabs were grilled to smoky perfection, and the Baklava? A sweet finale that danced on the palate! The ambiance of Gunaydin is a delightful fusion of tradition and modernity, making you feel as if you’ve stepped into a Turkish tale of old yet with a contemporary twist. As for the service, it was nothing short of exemplary – attentive, warm, and always with a genuine smile. The variety on the menu caters to all preferences, and the pricing is the cherry on top, offering value that is hard to find elsewhere. Gunaydin is not just a meal; it’s an experience, a journey of flavors, and a celebration of Turkish hospitality at its best. My daughter and I left with hearts as full as our bellies, already planning our next visit. To those seeking a culinary adventure in Milton Keynes, Gunaydin is a must-visit. This is more than a restaurant; it’s a place where memories are made.

Went for dinner on a Saturday and it was busy which was a good sign. Food was good and reasonably priced and there were clean plates all round. Update April 2024: had a private party event and the staff were so accommodating of the guests needs and our plan for the event. Food was good and the staff were so helpful.

I’ll start off by saying the decor is really nice. Sadly the food and service was disappointing. A gentlemen who looked like a manager or one of the owners came over and started moving around my plates while I was eating my starter and told me how what to do like I’m a child and hadn’t made a conscious decision to not use the small plate that had been on the table for God knows how many hours or days. Then shorty after he came over and poured the remaining of my drink into the glass that I clearly was not using. I understand the place was very quiet so he was probably just looking for something to do but it’s rude… I didn’t tell him I wanted to drink out of the glass… I had clearly been drinking from the bottle with my straw. Then my lamb chops arrived. I noticed one of the lamb chops was missing most of the meat like it has been eaten or broken off. I told the waiter and asked if they could replace that 1 lamb chop. By the time I finished the rest of my food, she came over with a lamb rib. I didn’t say anything and accepted it. However, the rib had a foul smell and I struggled to eat it. When a waiter came to take my plate, I mentioned the issue with the lamb chop being replaced with the rib. I explained that I was not complaining but wanted to mention it. He didn’t apologise or anything… poor customer service skills. The lamb chops I did have were nice and the salad too.

Great food, expensive but worth it £50 pound for 2 people, add £20 for every two people after

Best food and atmosphere in town for sure!

This restaurant exudes warm hospitality, presents a diverse menu, and delivers exceptional service. I eagerly anticipate returning for another delightful dining experience in the future.

Incredible service from all of the team in Gunaydin's, it was actually even better than their sister restaurant Sultan's in the theatre district. Both of the servers were incredibly efficient and friendly. The food was very similar to Sultan's, however, there were 2 items on their sharing platter for 4, that were not quite as succulent as we experienced from Sultan's, both of the chicken kebabs. Overall the food was still delicious, especially the complimentary bread. There is a fantastic selection of drinks, I tried the Turkish lemonade which was lovely. The decor in the restaurant is beautiful, even on the ceiling! One area which was lacking in comparison, were the customer toilets. They were very clean and well equipped but I believe they had not been refurbished from the last venue. Nonetheless, a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience!

Great service,lovely atmosphere and delicious food! Highly recommend this place 😃

The food and service were very good! The decoration is beautiful and atmosphere was great 👍 Will come back for sure

Amazing experience! Delicious, authentic, and well presented food. We dine in and order takeaways, this is the best Turkish restaurant in Milton Keynes, our place to go to. We love the hot platter, but other dishes are equally great. I would come just for the humusses - the beetroot one is so yummy. Service is great. The interior is very beautifully done, I like spaciousness and design. Certainly recommend 👌

This place is absolutely stunning. The food takes you to a sunny beach, excellent service. Will be returning soon and recommending it to friends and family

The food was absolutely delicious! Brilliant service from both servers and bar man 👏🏼 Arrived about 1.30pm wasn't too busy but picked up during our visit. Drinks within 5 minutes quickly followed by warm bread with 2 dips. Then came starters and promptly came our meal. It was honestly 1 of the best times I've had out at a restaurant and we will definitely be returning 👍🏼

Very good food. Tasty. They have the best baklava with vanilla icecream.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing, from the customer service team to the food and beverage. We really enjoyed the food, the portion is very generous and the food taste delicious. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is interested in enjoying flavoursome food.

Great food, staff and atmosphere

Went there for Mothers Day. Never again! The place was noisy and very crowded. We waited over an hour for our meal which was dry and tasteless An experience never to be repeated!

Value for money. Great tasting food. Enjoyed it.

Really nice food. Friendly and attentive service. Atmosphere is hard to comment on as I went there at 3.3.30pm on a Thursday so I really wasn't expecting anyone else to be there, although there were a few tables finishing their meals as we arrived. The decor is pleasing even with the pink and turquoise booths. I'd happily go back.

Great but forgot our hummus and cacik, I also ordered an extra Turkish bread and didn’t receive it in that either

Food was great shared platters is my favourite. Great service and atmospheric. Enjoyed eating warm tasty food with my brother-in law.

Went after work with some colleagues on a Thursday evening (recommended by somebody else in the office) Food came out quickly and was fantastic! All commented how nice it was! Taste and texture spot on. Gabi looked after us and was friendly and helpful the whole time - great service Will definitely visit again.

First order was great, 3rd order was nothing like the first. Come one guys...

Excellent, excellent excellent excellent excellent, I would recommend it

Delicious food as always. Nice driver, very prompt.

Excellent food and nicely presented for a takeaway. Delivery was speedy.

Food is authentic and top quality. Friendly service

The food is delicious, which is complemented with the friendly and nice staff with impeccable service. Adana kebab could have been better.

Be aware! The charge for service, 3 people we paid £13.98 on top of our bill. I have never paid service charge in restaurant in Milton Keynes before We paid about £150 for 3 people It's expensive to eat there. I have visited 3 times in Zouk Lounge restaurant, the food is amazing and tasty, 3 people we paid around £72.00 I will prefer going there again and again The food in Gunaydin restaurant wasn't bad but the dessert Tiramisu £6.99 was really terrible, you taste the dessert has been frozen for a long time and it was very unpleasant taste.

Extremely delicious meals, kind service employees and a fabulous atmosphere.

Fantastically presented and beautifully cooked food. The staff were so very professional at all times. Owner came to each table to personally greet. Will be back for sure. Be warned, portions are extremely generous 😀

Food was amazing and can accommodate for vegan diets too. Staff were excellent and so friendly. Will definitely be back thank you

Visited Gunaydin couple of times with family and friends. Their food is amazing and their service. They should add turkish Kavatli (Breakfast).

Very tasty food and great service! Highly recommend coming here for a nice meal with family and friends.

A sharing platter should have 2 of everything. How am I supposed to share 1 chicken wing and I lamb

Very friendly staff also we had free ice cream and Turkish tea 100% recommended

There were no serviettes, salt, ketchup and cutlery. I expect these basic items to be included in any delivery.

Love it here.. the food is absolutely amazing and always well presented... it can also be a bit noisy but the restaurant will always accommodate sitting in a quieter area if you ask... to save on bank costs you pay via an app but it never works for us... which id like too but can't seem to negotiate the daft app... I'll pay cash next time.. and there will be a next time as this is my go to fusion restaurant ...fabulous!

Did not receive order. Have ring doorbell for proof

Very nice restaurant and nice staff

Overall food was not impressive if compared to Enfes or Antep Kitchen. The platter was served with with very less quantity of rice and when we asked to get some bread or rice they said its finished. Anyways we will never go back because of average taste, high prices and average customer service.
