    We went by there because of our hotel being close, had a look inside through the window and were directly welcome by the owner. What a lovely place, awesome friendly people in a family owned business. Great meal choices, awesome wine collection. Thank you for the great evening! Definitely coming back

    Despite it being 2 minutes from my flat, I fiinally made it to Gojk restaurant yesterday, about 18 months after it opened. Still not sure how you say the word, nor exactly how to describe the β€˜genre’ of food, but it’s very nicely fitted out, friendly staff, interesting menu and nice wines. Simple food, very tasty and well prepared, a little bit pricey, but definitely a cut above the rest of the EC restaurants.

    So visited this restaurant for the Papa L kitchen 8 course dining experience. First thing that struck me was the customer service/hospitality as soon as you walk in. Decor is amazing, background music is A1, artwork selection is just pleasing to the eye. There was an array of wine on display but unfortunately wasn't all included in the menu choices. The food was amazing (the sauces were heavenly); For a pop up event, it was well executed and deserves a 10/10. Last but not least, the cocktails and wine. Tequila shot looks good but is quite strong so be careful with that one.

    We were just on a week long trip to London. While strolling around Kensington we came across this lounge and decided to stop in for a late night dinner. It was amazing! The food and the staff were wonderful. Very welcoming and warm. Our food was some of the best we had of all the places we went the entire trip. And our bartender made us the best mint, honey and lemon tea. It was so delicious that we went back a second time the night before we left. When we arrived we were greeted with smiles as we were remembered from a few nights before. Our bartender made us tea with flowers that bloomed in a glass in front of us. It was pretty amazing to watch. Both of us agree it was our favorite food place of the whole trip. Great experience! We will make it a regular stop whenever we are in London. Thank you for the warm hospitality β™₯️ Jen and Joe

    Went to the Gojk last night for my birthday dinner and it was superb. Beautiful decor and lovely atmosphere, playing some great music in the background. My 80 year old dad was dancing in his seat! Great cocktails, the bar man/owner made a custom non-alcoholic cocktail that would be my summer drink of choice, right blend of refreshing and sweet. The service was exceptional they really care about whether you’re happy but above anything else the food is amazing! I had the sirloin steak and it was cooked to perfection, my fussy eater dad was very impressed. Cassava fries are delicious too. Other guests with me are the Salmon and ribs. All agreed the food is absolutely delicious. I managed to squeeze in the Papa-lova which was amazing. Highly recommend, can’t wait to go again!

    My girlfriend and I went to London as our last stop before going home. She stumpled on The Gojk. She found out that it was wheelchair accessible and we thought it's worth a try. I'm so glad we did as the food is excellent as well as the service. The owners take pride in what they do and they are very involved in the workings of the resturaunt. We both had the Grilled avacado as a starter, the baby corn-fed chicken for the main course, and the PAPA-Lova as a desert. Ohhhhh man it was so tasty.

    My second dinner at The Gojk last night. The food is just lovely, service is attentive, genuine and caring. I had the sole and some lovely courgette tempura to start. Wine list a excellent too. I really love this local restaurant. It's still relatively new and building its reputation. It deserves to be packed to the brim. Will be going again very soon I hope.

    Hands Down.... @the_gojk was absolutely AMAZING....the food was exceptionally tantalising- Like seriously the flavours exploded in your mouth differently, succulent, sweet- it was an experience for real....you know I LOVE food- this was IT. EVERY dish exceeded expectation.....if you are a foody you REALLY need to get down there. The setting is also intimate, the drinks/cocktails were good, the staff are extremely attentive and hospitable, the location, and decor was a vibe.

    A repeat visit and just as lovely as the first. Will become a local for sure. Run by a dynamic duo with an excellent (and very accommodating) chef on-board. A killer menu, from wild red mullet to wagyu burger & cassava fries... I mean, yum! I wish I had saved room for dessert. All the more reason to come back. This is a neighbourhood gem.

    Excellent service, food and drinks. We walked by this unassuming place while in London and had a great experience. The outside doesn't do the interior justice, they have two floors and an outdoor area that are all very inviting. The service was attentive and the food was delicious.

    Well... Honestly is wasn't the best risotto. Should've go with meat option. Staff is super welcoming.

    Lovely family restaurant with superb flavorful dishes. Everything on the menu had a special trait to it. Very attentive service for our large family dinner. Personally, I loved the squid and ink croquettes, the venison pie, and the Tonka beans chocolate cream.

  • 1/5 Petite C. 4 years ago on Google
    The ambiance was poor (plastic furniture) and the music was loud. The plastic environment made the (too loud) music sound very bright and obnoxious mostly because there were no other people in the restaurant to deaden the sound. This was Saturday night at 6:30! Why was this place not full of patrons if this place was touted as A 5 star restaurant? Service was ridiculously slow and wine was off taste. We left without ordering food.

  • 1/5 Paul S. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is a disaster. We set reservations after seeing the 5 star Google rating. On a Saturday evening at 6.30 pm we were 2 of 4 persons in the place. After 30 minutes, 2 more persons entered to sit outside with the other two patrons. It took 25 minutes to get water out to our table, another 10 minutes for a cocktail and glass of wine to arrive. The wine from Spain had a strange flavor/taste. The Amber Manhattan was so so. And just after we sat down in the empty restaurant, management upped the stereo pwith disco era music at a loud volume. I wanted the Wagyu burger - but they were out of burgers. The Butternut squash risotto was described as mostly risotto with a bit of squash. Call it Risotto with BS then. We decided to stick to drinks only and left at 7. No one else had arrived. Sorry - this is not 5 star service, cocktails, or food people. This is an empty restaurant for a lot of reasons. Don't make our mistake. Go somewhere where a crowd gathers.
