This is one of our favorite restaurants. For us the quality of food is important, but when you have quality and the amazing staff, you get all what you need. Thank you for treating us everytime we visit you with these love, making us feeling like at home. Specially FAIZA, CHRISTINA, AISHA and of course your great shefs. You are the best. If you looking for great food, quantity and special and friendly atmosphere I can guaranteed you will find it in Gunes Restaurant. Thank you again and see you next Sunday for our favorite breakfast :)

I love Güneş so much, it’s the best restaurant in Walthamstow and the best Turkish we’ve had in London. Always the best vibes - feels like we’re on holiday when we come here. Service is always friendly and speedy and the food is absolutely always 10/10. Thanks so much to Cristina who is so hospitable and to the incredible chefs.

11.05.2025 To celebrate my birthday, I chose to celebrate at Güneş Restaurant, and I can truly say it was an excellent experience. The food was delicious! All the large meat platters we ordered were very well portioned and tasty—the meat melted in our mouths. The salads were a great surprise; I chose three out of the eight to eight options, and each had a combination of sophisticated flavors that perfectly complemented the meat. The portions are large, the prices are affordable, and the value for money is excellent. The place had a calm atmosphere, a pleasant ambiance, and a neat and elegant decor. The ambient Turkish music contributed to the overall sense of well-being and perfectly matched the restaurant's theme. Ayesha, Faiza, Cristina, and Ozge welcomed us with sincere smiles and authentic hospitality; the staff deserves a special mention. Their service was impeccable, with great attention and total involvement. An emotional surprise was prepared for the tribute, with a special song performed by the entire staff and the applause of the guests in the hall, who sang "Happy Birthday" along with us. Constructive suggestion: for added comfort and cleanliness, it would be great to replace the dirty plates and napkins on the table more frequently. It's an idea for an even more pleasant experience, not a significant criticism. For special events or a unique night out in the city, I highly recommend the Güneş restaurant. I will be back soon.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were insane! For standard London prices, each main could feed around 3-4 people, and everything was so authentic! The staff were friendly and atmosphere was nice and relaxed. They even give you two starters on the house, which are delicious and can easily be shared between a couple of people. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant!

Came here on a Friday night and Ordered a Family platter for 4: Lamb Doner, Chicken Doner, Chicken Shish, Lamb Shish, Chicken Beyti, Adana Kebab, 8pcs Chicken Wings and 8pcs Lamb Ribs (£72.90) & Grilled Seabass served with baby potato, seasonal vegetables, home-made tartar sauce & garlic butter. (23.90) + Turkish tea for dessert. We were really torn between this place and Hala but ended up staying here because we wanted to try out a new Turkish restaurant and this place had good reviews. Food 🥘 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Starters 🥖- 🌹 As usual, Tsatziki with Hummus and pitta which was DELICIOUS. 🌹 Best tasting salad I’ve had so far in a Turkish restaurant. WELL SEASONED. Platter 🥩 - 🌹 They ran out of lamb doner but we swapped that & chicken dinner for more lamb chops. 🌹 Lamb cubes and grilled chicken wings tasted quite good. 🥀 Asked for more white rice instead of Bulgur but this request wasn’t fulfilled. 〰️ Taste was OK. Very mid. I would question the FRESHNESS. Seabass 🐟 - 〰️ I didn’t order it for myself but it was ok. 🌹 DELICIOUS tartar sauce. Never tasted anything like it 🌹 WELL SEASONED baby potatoes and veg. Condiments🧂🥫 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌹 As with all Turkish restaurants, the chilli and yoghurt sauce was on par Mocktails 🍹- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌹 Presented well and tasted as mocktails should. Delicious. Dessert 🍮 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- 🌹 Complementary Turkish jelly sweets were tasty. 🥀 1/3 of the Turkish teas was too strong but the others tasted just right. Atmosphere ⚜️💡 ⭐️⭐️- 🥀 Very DIM, GLOOMY & INADEQUATE brightness as we couldn’t appreciate the food properly. This made the experience even more disappointing. Couldn’t even read the menu properly. 🥀 COLD and INADEQUATE HEATING. Felt a breeze circulating in the restaurant although there was a small heating element at the top which the waitress kindly turned ln. Not a warm welcoming you’d expect at a place like this. ^ I wanted to leave for these two reasons alone. 🥀 Didn’t look enticing as it was dark and NOT busy. 🥀 ALCOHOL is served & drunk ubiquitously although Halal food is served and it is supposed to be a “Muslim” restaurant. 🌹 DECENT interior seating furniture. Price 💵 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 🥀 OVERPRICED for what it’s worth. Toilet facilities 🚾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 🥀 NO running HOT WATER maybe due to low water pressure. 🌹Single cube toilet with adequate space to manoeuvre. 🌹Has a baby changing station. Staff 💁♀️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 🌹 The two female waiters were WELCOMING, ACCOMMODATING, and ATTENTIVE. OVERALL, the food was BORDERLINE AVERAGE. > Expected more for the price range; Didn’t really taste fresh. > Atmosphere was very dim. > Regretted not going Hala or Gokyuzu. > Overpriced for mid quality food. > Restaurant more of a couple vibe rather than family. > Not suitable for Muslim families due to open alcohol consumption at literally every table and I witnessed this. They don’t even have a separate section. Unfortunately, will NOT be returning any time soon but the Customer Service is excellent. For the whole experience I would give this place a solid 3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌗

Great place to have Turkish food, nicely decorated with good service. The platters were good with tasty items with only negatives, the white rice is just plain rice instead of the one they cook with oil that tastes so good and being the end of the day they served us with a small portion of Doner.

We recently celebrated my son’s 18th birthday at this restaurant, and I have to say,it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection with attention to detail that truly impressed us all. Good favour, beautifully presented, and satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the décor added a touch of elegance without being over the top. Everything, from the lighting to the comfortable seating, made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening( I am not sure if they have a limit time to spend there as we was asked politely to free the table 🙈because they have another booking.to be fair we spent around 3 hours 🙈 A special shout-out goes to Aicha, who took such great care of us. She was incredibly professional and patient while taking our order, making sure every detail was correct and that we all got exactly what we wanted. Her attentiveness really added to the overall experience. All the staff looked clean, well-dressed, and professional, which speaks about the overall cleanliness and standards of the restaurant. The only suggestion I have is to update the prices on the menu listed on your website, as they were a bit misleading compared to what we were charged. A small detail, but something that could help future guests avoid confusion. Overall, a great evening with great food and service.

We tried gunes for the first time. Picked up our food for Iftar and I can say it is one of the best Turkish food in east London. The flavours/ marination on the chicken wings was great. Fries were lovely and the borek was probably the best I’ve tried. Only thing they were slacking on is the Bread- it’s too thick and dry and has an aftertaste. We asked for seasoned bread but they forgot to give it- bread should be like capital, hala etc style. Asides that definitely go try it guys- Great food, lovely sauces and hummus is nice too.

This is must be the worst resturant ive been to in a long while. The food wasn't great. We booked a table for 12 people so they decided to give us a set menu which was bad, I can even call it disgusting. I looked around and saw what other people was eating, and it looked ok.

the other reviews are correct. Had no expectation coming here. When we walked in the place was dim as there was no one else but us. We were greeted delightfully by who we think was the owner. We had pizza, lamb and dessert. Everything was delcious and the right price
