Güneş Walthamstow is a Turkish restaurant on Hoe Street in Walthamstow, a few minutes’ walk south of Walthamstow Central. It is the Walthamstow branch of a small family of restaurants that also includes Güneş in Enfield, and it covers a long day: Turkish breakfast from the morning, then charcoal grills and sharing platters through to late evening.
The grill is the main draw. Platters come in mixed, family and jumbo sizes, piled with lamb and chicken döner, chicken shish, beyti, Adana, chicken wings and lamb ribs, with salad, bread, rice and bulgur on the side. Before 4pm the breakfast menu runs from menemen and çılbır to a full Güneş breakfast with sucuk, kaymak and börek, served with free Turkish tea.
The dining room is bold and modern, with a conservatory section, and it suits families, birthday groups and anyone who wants a generous, good-value Turkish meal close to the Victoria line.
