Gökyüzü Kentish Town is a Turkish restaurant at 339 Kentish Town Road. It is one of the family run group’s London locations, combining a large, lively dining room with warm service and a menu designed as readily for family celebrations as for an informal midweek meal.
Cold and hot meze include hummus, cacık, babaganoush, grilled halloumi, calamari and stuffed bulgur köfte. Fresh bread and bright salads give the table a varied start before the charcoal grill, with yoghurt, herbs, aubergine, tomato and tahini recurring across the dishes.
Lamb and chicken shish, Adana kebab, ribs, chops, wings and house made döner are cooked over charcoal and served with rice and salad. Mixed platters bring several grills together for sharing, while lahmacun, wraps, manti and slow cooked lamb extend the choice beyond skewers.
Vegetarian and vegan kebabs, falafel and vegetable meze give meat free diners a meaningful selection. Turkish desserts and drinks round out the meal, making Gökyüzü a dependable choice for a generous shared spread with the aroma and flavour of the grill at its centre.
Address: 339 Kentish Town Road, Kentish Town, London NW5 2TJ, England
