Absolutely Delightful! This was our first visit to Günaydin. I had seen a reel on my Facebook feed about their traditional Turkish breakfast. On this occasion however we were there for dinner, we were a group of four. We were not disappointed! We were warmly welcomed. Looked forward to our meal. A nice selections of entrées: we had the ezme, the haydari and sarma. All accompanied with fresh warm bread! Our mains consisted of Adana kebab, kofta kebab and chicken brochette. Portions are generous! The food was fresh and delicious. and to round it all out, kunefe accompanied with tea for desert. All in all a sumptuous feast! we had the opportunity to speak with one of the owners/manager Very cordial! . We look forward to returning, the next time for their breakfast

Gunaydin is Turkish cuisine, simply perfected on all levels. The atmosphere is welcoming and the interior is beautifully decorated. The food is delicious, decadent and properly prepared, respecting original recipes and traditional methods. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive. There is nothing that I would change about this restaurant ... just wish they would open a branch in Ottawa.

My fiancé and I went for Sunday lunch. We never tasted Turkish cuisine before so we don’t know what to expect but we saw so many post regarding about this restaurant via Instagram and we couldn’t wait to try. We ordered Mixte Grillade for 2 people, A Lamb plate and the best fresh baklava we ever tasted. The restaurant is packed during weekends, so please make sure to call for a reservation. Kahena ( not sure if the spelling is right ? ) our waitress was very good and attentive. The rest of the staff are also helpful in case you need something. Can’t wait to go back and try the Turkish Brunch next time

We came for Turkish brunch with our 10 month old baby on a Saturday at noon and despite the restaurant being almost full everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The service staff and manager/owner were very welcoming and everything was well organized. The turkish brunch was absolutely exquisite we also tried a turkish coffee and baklava - all excellent. The restaurant is spotless as well. You can tell they are invested in the restaurant and they take good care of their patrons. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the manager/owner offer an extra seat cushion to an elderly man to make him more comfortable. It’s a small thing that goes unnoticed but it speaks volumes of his character and the spirit of the restaurant. We will definitely be back.

The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very welcoming to children. The staff were incredibly kind. The food was served hot, tasted delicious, and felt fresh. The appetizers were delightful and authentic to their region of origin. I highly recommend.
