Description

This place has all the makings of a cherished favourite restaurant! Tucked away in a courtyard, it has a pleasingly vibrant and laid-back atmosphere. Closely spaced tables and Turkish background music add to the bustling feel. In the open kitchen, modern Turkish dishes are prepared: expect dishes packed with bold flavours and sometimes with a touch of heat. Shining examples of dishes made using the grill and wood-fired oven, which play a major role, include mini lahmacun (freshly baked bread with lamb, yoghurt cream and onions) and manti (potato ravioli with yoghurt, salca butter and parsley).

Review summary

Gül in Zurich offers Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine with mixed reception. Food quality is polarized; while some praise its authenticity and creativity, others find portions small and flavors mediocre. Service is generally noted for being warm and attentive, though pacing can be rushed. The ambiance features a cozy courtyard, but the dining room can become cramped and noisy. Value is a significant concern, with many reviewers citing high prices relative to portion sizes. Additional charges for basics like coffee and strict time limits during brunch further diminish the perceived value, leading to disappointment among budget-conscious diners.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking authentic Turkish flavors who accept higher prices and a brisk dining pace.
