Hoxton Best Kebab
Nice kebab but a bit over priced for what you get, especially in this location but nevertheless, nice.
Gallipoli Restaurant
My partner and I wanted some us-time away from the kids so we decided to walk around in the area and this hidden gem caught our eyes!
Entrance - Outside looking in, you would assume that it is a small restaurant but once you enter, it’s a completely different ball game! The restaurant is so spacious & beautiful !
Food - We had king prawns and Halloumi as a starter and the 120 Upper Street Special as a main! The starters were lovely, cooked from fresh & they even gave us mini bowls to wash our hands in.
The mains looked small but my God it was filling. Again, cooked from fresh, fresh salad and the chilli sauce was amazing !!
Drinks - My partner ordered two cocktails and I ordered a bottle of wine! Very nice!
Decor - Decor was lovely. Very traditional. It was like being in Turkey. Sevilmi!
Cleanliness - Very clean, the toilets were also very clean too.
Customer service - Was amazing! All staff were very pleasant and attentive.
Overall - Was dining for about an hour. Would I return? Absolutely! Such an amazing experience and a credit to Turkey!
Thank you!

PSA - id recommend booking a table prior to coming as when I came there were people arriving that hadn’t booked prior that were getting turned away!
Entrance - Very discreet entrance door, if I wasn’t with someone who had been there before I probably would’ve walked past it as there’s no obvious sign - however very uniquely done - I liked it!
Food - for starters we got the grilled green peppers and chicken wings - I personally did not like the green peppers however my partner really enjoyed them.
The chicken wings portion was very good for a starter and filling, covered in crispy onions and coriander - very very nice and hot!
Mains - we got charred pork belly rib & beef brisket. - the pork belly was nice however the beef brisket was very chewy and not nice at all, very fatty & had no flavour. I could not finish this.
Sides - small fries which were nice!
Drinks - we got two glasses of coke & my partner got a rum punch, please bear in mind that when you order the rum punch (yellow drink in pics) it’s probably not what you expect and taste more like a grapefruit cocktail, I’d highly advise against ordering this if you have the generic pinkish red rum punch in mind!
They also provided water as a complimentary drink and a bowl of lemon water to wash your hands in after eating the wings which I thought was nice.
Decor - Very nice, gives a nice American feel with the BBQ pans, smell and gloomy look. Very modern!
Atmosphere - Good, very busy, everyone looked happy, it was a nice atmosphere overall. Definitely attracts a trendy crowd!
Cleanliness - Very clean and tidy, could not fault it.
Cost - £79 in total including service charge.
Customer service - all staff were extremely friendly, warm and welcoming, all had beautiful smiles on their faces. Special mention to Morgan who was more than accommodating, very friendly, beautiful and attentive. The moment we finished our drinks and meals our tables were instantly cleaned. Morgan is a good credit to this restaurant.
Overall - 7/10, food was a bit of a let down however great service & staff! Thank you smokestak 😊
