In Turkish culture, breakfast is never just a quick bite. It’s a whole occasion, especially on a weekend❤️🇹🇷

We sit, we eat, we chat, we drink tea and before we know it, hours have gone by. That’s the beauty of Serpme Kahvaltı, our traditional Turkish breakfast spread, made for sharing and taking your time.

Fresh Turkish bread, warm gözleme, simit, poğaça, crispy börek, Turkish sausage, a selection of cheeses, honey, jam, tahini & pekmez, fresh vegetables and boiled eggs. And of course, plenty of Turkish tea🫖

So gather your favourite people, pull up a chair and enjoy a Turkish breakfast tradition with us.

From the warm smiles that welcome you through the door to our chefs preparing every plate with care, there’s a lot of teamwork that goes into making your time with us feel special.

After 30 years of bringing people together, we’ve learnt that it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Home-style cooking, familiar faces and that lovely feeling of being right at home, even when you’re out celebrating.

Turkish food has always been about more than what lands on the table…

It’s the rich flavours, the spices, the plates made for digging into, and that feeling when the table gets louder and the evening somehow carries on longer than planned.

That’s how we’ve always done things at Gallipoli.

Good food, generous tables and an atmosphere that feels a little bit like home🤍

Today marks thirty years since two brothers and a few friends took a chance on a tiny restaurant on Upper Street. It began with falafel, borrowed aprons and a lot of hope.

Since then, so many of you have celebrated birthdays, shared family dinners and come back for a meal just because. We’ve watched little ones grow up, welcomed new faces and been so happy to see familiar ones return. After all these years, our tables are still full of your stories.

Thank you for making Gallipoli part of your lives and letting us be part of yours. We feel so lucky to still be here, sharing meals and making memories with you.

Here’s to thirty years, and many more around the table 🥂
