Turkish Restaurant London | Gokyuzu Restaurant Harringay
Gökyüzü – the Turkish restaurant for food lovers Turkish food is a meat-lover’s dream and our charcoal grill helps us to produce the most succulent, beautifully flavoured kebabs this side of the Mediterranean.
Our Turkish pizza is a must-try.
with turned up boat-like crusts, our most popular is Kuşbaşılı Pide (Turkish pizza with diced lamb and peppers) while Kaşarlı Pide is topped with mozzarella, peppers, olives and a fried egg and is often favoured by those looking for a vegetarian option.
Don’t miss the lahmacun either: an extremely thin, very traditional style of pizza topped with minced lamb, parsley and peppers.
It’s not just Turkish pizza for vegetarian diners, either – those who prefer non-meat options won’t be disappointed.

food menu
Haringey is the home of London’s Turkish food scene, with Green Lanes providing pasture upon pasture of authentic fare.
Of all the many, many Turkish restaurants on the strip, Gökyüzü (the work for "sky" in Turkish) is perhaps the popular – if you haven’t booked ahead, you’ll be hard pushed to walk straight to a table on any day of the week.
As you would hope, a great deal of grilled meat is on the menu, from you staple shishes and doners, to grilled quail and a plethora of special dishes featuring a Sarma Kuzu Beyti of marinated minced lamb wrapped in lavash bread and cheese.
If you’re not feeling the full carnivore, Gökyüzü also have an extensive pide menu – think pizza, but Turkish – with toppings ranging from halloumi, olives and green pepper, to minced lamb, spinach and red onion.
Remember the portions are as vast as the menu – at Gökyüzü, the sky’s the limit.
Yosma, London: restaurant review | Life and style | The Guardian
drinks food value cleanliness desserts
We know where to go for good, cheap Turkish food; for rough-edged dishes prepared by stocky men with moustaches who cook sitting down, hunched over the smoking mangal grill like this is the only thing they’ve ever done.
I’ve written before about my love for this food, explored during repeated summer trips to Turkey: about my pilgrimages to the basic canteens by the bus station in Fethiye, where overpowered air conditioning belches vapour and it’s so cheap it feels like they’re paying you to bury your face in plates of perfect lamb doner; about nights lost tending the DIY barbecues of Cinbal restaurant just outside the ghost village of Kayaköy, where smoke rises towards the vine-clad open roof and the air smells of rendering lamb fat.
In a culinary culture that steers clear of the pig, beef makes a good stand-in, first in a grilled sausage, served hot off the grill and sultry with cumin.
At the end we drink thimbles of hot, sweet Turkish coffee with the thickness of Brent Crude, and give thanks for our good fortune.
■ There are so many great north London Turkish restaurants that choosing one to spotlight is tricky, but I’ve gone for Mangal 2 on Stoke Newington Road.
Gökyüzü | Restaurants in Harringay, London
food
Large, utilitarian – and the gobsmacking go-to venue for prodigious portions of excellent cooking in London’s main Turkish neighbourhood.
If our informal poll of passers-by on Green Lanes is anything to go by, Gökyüzü is the go-to place for Turkish food in London’s main Turkish neighbourhood.
This large, utilitarian restaurant (it doubled in size some years ago) is consistently the busiest place on the strip.
We were almost sated after demolishing a basket of bread cooked in the wood-fired oven and a huge ‘small’ mixed meze dish – highlights being a sprightly kısır loaded with mint and spring onion, a haydari rich with dill, and a fresh-tasting soslu patlıcan (grilled aubergine with tomato sauce).
Sarma tavuk beyti featured no less than 15 large pieces of spicy minced chicken wrapped in lavash bread, slathered in tomato sauce and served with yoghurt and pilaf rice.
