About the Vibe
Gökyüzü in Chingford brings the bold flavors of Turkish cuisine to South Chingford with a spacious, welcoming space that can handle big groups and family gatherings. The Full Platter is the way to go if you're sharing - it's a massive spread of flame-grilled meats including lamb shish, Adana kebab, and doners that feeds 2-3 people. While the original Harringay location once ranked in the top 3 Turkish restaurants in London, the Chingford branch has seen some service hiccups according to repeat visitors, but the food quality remains solid for authentic Turkish fare.

Solid Turkish Feast for Groups
Gökyüzü Chingford is a solid choice for authentic Turkish dining in the Waltham Forest area. The restaurant opened as a second branch to their popular Harringay location and has quickly become a go-to spot for locals craving properly seasoned grilled meats and traditional mezes. The space is impressively large - easily accommodating 200+ guests - making it ideal for family celebrations or big group dinners.
The Full Platter is the star here, a £30 feast designed for 2-3 people that includes lamb shish, chicken shish, Adana kebab, lamb ribs, chicken wings, and both chicken and lamb doner. It arrives with rice, bulgur, and fresh salads. The meats are flame-grilled and come with that characteristic Turkish smokiness. While the food quality has remained consistently good, some repeat visitors have noted that service can be hit-or-miss depending on how busy the restaurant is.
If you're planning a visit, expect a casual, welcoming atmosphere with warm hospitality. The restaurant is open daily from 10am to midnight, so it works for everything from lunch to late dinner. Just be prepared for the portions - the Full Platter alone could leave you stuffed. It's not fancy dining, but it delivers on authentic Turkish flavors at a reasonable price point.
