Gunes Restaurant in Waltham Forest

The restaurant was close to where we were staying so my wife and I gave it a try. We had the shared chicken and lamb dish and it was excellent. In fact both the food and the service were outstanding. We have been telling our friends all about it and highly recommend Gunes. Just fantastic!

Very good service and friendly staff, Melissa was very kind and welcoming to us , smiling, offering the menu in very professional and good way thank you

Food was great and Cristina our waitress was really friendly and very attentive. Highly recommended the mixed shish and tarama.

Had a great time at gunes for my birthday. Christina was a big help in making my birthday memorable, good customer service and help provided, give her 10 stars I will definitely be back.

Walked past this restaurant and thought we’d give it a try. It exceeded all our expectations. The lamb chops were 11/10, so juicy, if I wasn’t so full I would’ve ordered another plate. Will definitely come again just for the lamb chops and to have a lovely chat with Cristina. Cristina was a star, she was so friendly, hilarious and really made our night.

Amazing food and hospitality. Everything was so fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Our waitress was Crysrina and she was so helpful in giving us great food and drink recommendations. I particularly loved my virgin strawberry daiquiri! Thank you so much, we shall be back.

Such a fantastic restaurant, the food was amazing and Cristina' service was outstanding! She made sure we had everything we needed and provided such a brilliant service.

Brilliant food, everything was flavoured just right. Came here to break fast(iftar) with family. Thank you Ali. Will come visit again soon. Thanks Saieed

A lovely restaurant. Great food, great service, never rushed. Big thanks to Emrah who looked after us so well. Would highly recommend.

From the fist try a couple of years ago this is my often to go restaurant. In my opinion best Turkish food in London. Great service, great people and the owner !

Just came across this place and what a gem! Love they seve breakfast till 4, very extensive menu that's good for people with allergy issues. Food yummy and excellent service with very engaging staff. Definitely recommend....and huge portions!

Having booked for a table of 15 for my daughters 18th birthday and being asked at the time of booking if I had a preference as to where we sat ( bearing in mind I booked 6 weeks before the actual day ) I was told upon arrival by a very rude waiter that we could not have the long table I had asked for as.a.table of 26 people were now having it as there was more of them than us despite that being the table I booked 6 wks ago, he then preceded to ask me why we was so early ywt I had already been told by a different member of staff we could arrive 30 minutes early to set up the table, tablecloths balloons ect, we was then given a few tables at the back of the restaurant nezt to the toilets which was more like big sofas than tables and was not at all personal for.an 18th celebration, I was.given a few cocktails as an apology which had hardly any alcohol in them, the food was nice and some of the staff but all in all I feel this is pure greed as they knew the large table would spend more money than us, on leaving I asked the large table when they booked that table and they said it was only last week which makes it even worse, If I had recieved any communication from them stating I could no longer sit where I chose I would of cancelled, I shall not be returning to this restaurant

Tried this restaurant for the first time ordering takeaway The chicken doner was excellent, very tasty good quality chicken and the bulgur and rice were very well cooked A bit pricey but recommended

Seven of us went for dinner on a Saturday night. No idea what it would be like but we were all delighted. I’ll start with service. Top notch. Lots of staff. Not in your face but really attentive and friendly. Some of the best restaurant service I have had. Lovely food. Selection of cold meze to start and complimentary salads and bread. The we all had different main course. My lamb beytie was great but defeated me in the end. Everyone enjoyed their food and few of us finished it. Loved my Turkish coffee and we were not rushed to leave so very relaxed family gathering round a huge round table with lots of space for all our food and drinks. Highly recommend.

Not my first time to this restaurant. The food is hit and miss. Recently I ordered a lamb doner wrap which I collected. On this occasion, the lamb was cold and fatty with no garlic & chilli sauce which I requested. It was absolutely disgusting!

This was our first experience at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. All staff members were very kind and helpful. The food was delicious and the portions are huge! I had the haloumi kebab and it was lovely. A great place to eat out.

All round best Turkish restaurant! My mum and I decided to have a spontaneous dinner out last night and decided on Gunes. I called up to see if a table was available and the lady on the phone was SO polite! We decided we were...

We ate Friday night, nice and busy. Staff were super attentive and service was prompt. 4 starters, 4 mains, 4 cocktails snd the service charge = £170. Food was really pretty and hot. Maybe the flavours were a bit tame but everything tasted like it...

This place is a lovely place to eat, my second time here and I'll definitely be back. The place feels clean and food is delicious. One thing, be warned the portions are massive. My friends and I ordered what we thought were starters. One of...

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Fantastic service (Thanks Deniz!). Could not fault it. Visit a lot and never disappoints.

I am a loyal customer to this restaurant since I had the grilled salmon with vegetables. The food is so freshly made and the flavours are amazing. The customer service is so good and I either come in or usually takeaway . I bring my...

Walthamstow and Leyton are well off for Turkish restaurants but Gunes is in a class of its own. The service is impeccable: friendly, helpful and professional. It has all the class of a Michelin-starred diner but thankfully not the prices. You can always tell when...

Gorgeous restaurant. Service was impeccable, food & drinks were lovely. Would definitely recommend to those planning to visit.

Lovely food and staff. Catered to a group of 30+ very well and Nesrin, our waitress, did a great job taking all our orders on a busy Saturday evening.

We have been going to Gunes for two years and it never fails to impress. There again this evening and the food was superb. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Malik in particular was very helpful and nice and somehow remained very polite and...

Some of the best customer service I have ever received! I think our waitresses name was Christina, she was such a delight! It’s one of me and my boyfriends favourite restaurants! I recommend to everyone and hope to come again soon!
