About Gallipoli Restaurant
Gallipoli Restaurant is a Turkish restaurant on Upper St in London, with memorabilia covering the walls and ceiling and mirrors used throughout as decor. The kitchen serves meze as a sharing selection alongside chargrills, and vegetarian options and a halal menu are available. Seating extends outdoors to a glass-roofed section and a shaded area, with tables arranged for larger groups of ten to twelve or more. A big screen shows televised football matches. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations. Toilets are located downstairs, next to the kitchen.

Customer Review Summary
Meze selections draw repeated praise, with several diners citing them alongside chargrilled dishes as the standout, delicious and well portioned for the price. Outdoor and glass roofed seating comes up often as a highlight, especially on warm afternoons, and large groups (from ten up to twelve people) describe being accommodated comfortably with food and drinks arriving promptly. Staff are consistently called friendly and welcoming, with a few reviewers noting genuine warmth in service. The recurring trade-off is crowding: on busy Saturday nights and during a football screening, reviewers describe slower service and difficulty getting staff attention, with tables feeling tightly packed. One reviewer also flags the downstairs toilets as mixed gender and poorly lit. Even so, most describe rebooking or returning repeatedly, and one group left with boxed up leftovers after a lunchtime visit.

“Gallipoli is without a doubt one of the best Turkish restaurants in London. The food is delicious, authentic, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The restaurant is spotless, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. What impressed me most was their genuine Turkish hospitality, which made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommended—I will definitely be back!”

“A large group of us went at lunchtime (10+ people). They moved our table outdoors, into a lovely shady area (it was a beautiful, hot day). Service was great and the food was delicious. Portions were big for lunch (as well as reasonably priced) and they boxed up the leftovers for us to takeaway. Looking forward to going back :)”

“Lovely Turkish food, nice decor and staff were friendly. The only negative was that they were a bit busy on a Saturday night and service was slow.”

“Great spot to watch the UCL Final with plenty of seating and a big screen, although the screen quality could’ve been a bit clearer. The food was really good, but the restaurant tried to fit in a lot of people, so it felt slightly crowded at times. Still, really appreciate the staff for making space for football fans who wanted to enjoy the final atmosphere.”
