Gokyuzu Finchley is a spacious Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant at 1 Leisure Way in North London. The restaurant is designed for everything from a casual meal to a large family gathering, with an extensive menu that encourages sharing. Fresh bread, colourful salads, meze and meat from the charcoal grill create a generous introduction to the cooking traditions of Turkey.
Cold meze include hummus, babaganush, kisir, haydari, beetroot tarator and aubergine cooked with peppers and tomato. Hot choices bring grilled halloumi, sucuk, calamari, falafel and filo pastry filled with cheese and herbs. Mixed meze selections gather several of these dishes around the table, making them a natural first course before the grills.
Lamb and chicken shish, Adana kebab, lamb ribs, chops, wings and homemade doner are cooked over charcoal and served with rice and salad. Full and jumbo platters combine several cuts for groups, while whole sea bass, salmon and king prawns provide alternatives to meat. Pide with lamb, chicken, cheese or vegetables and thin lahmacun broaden the menu with traditional baked dishes.
Breakfast and brunch cover Turkish pan eggs, menemen, sucuk, halloumi, olives, simit and generous sharing arrangements. Vegetarian and vegan dishes include falafel, grilled vegetables, salads and plant based breakfast choices. Turkish tea or coffee can accompany baklava, rice pudding or warm kunefe, bringing a leisurely meal to a sweet and aromatic close.
