Gallipoli Restaurant

Walk into Gallipoli and you're stepping into something that feels genuinely established without trying too hard. Upper Street's got no shortage of restaurants, but this place has staying power for a reason: the kitchen takes Turkish food seriously, whether you're ordering lamb shish that's been properly marinated or working through a spread of mezze that covers all the bases. It's the kind of spot where you'll see regulars nodding at staff and groups of mates making proper evenings of it, sharing plates and probably ordering another round of raki.
