Gallipoli RestaurantB+

119-120 Upper St, London N1 1QP · Turkish restaurant, Bar, Bistro · Islington

Lively Turkish-Mediterranean spot with crowd-pleasing grills and meze in a striking, roomy space; great for celebrations, but expect uneven service at peak times and pricing that feels premium for the category.

The verdict

Gallipoli delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional setting appeal and strong food quality that make it competitive with respected local favorites. However, inconsistent execution during peak periods and service delays on busy nights prevent it from reaching higher territory. The warm, celebratory atmosphere and crowd-pleasing meze work well for occasions, but reliability concerns temper the overall grade.

One caveat: Peak-season delays with long gaps between courses (reports up to 1.5–2.5 hours)
