# Gulens Welling
Gulens is an authentic Turkish restaurant located on Welling High Street in South East London, established in 2002. What began as a humble takeaway kebab shop has evolved into one of the area's most celebrated dining destinations, built on homemade recipes passed down through generations of family tradition.
The restaurant serves locals and visitors seeking genuine Turkish cuisine in a distinctive setting. Their clientele ranges from families celebrating special occasions to groups of friends enjoying cocktails and regulars who've become part of the Gulens family over more than two decades.
What sets Gulens apart is its immersive dining experience that transports guests beyond Welling High Street. The standout feature is a retractable roof terrace, heated for winter and open for summer, creating an ambiance reminiscent of holiday dining. Combined with handcrafted cocktails, warm hospitality, and live entertainment, the restaurant delivers an atmosphere that feels far removed from Southeast London yet remains easily accessible.
The venue has earned recognition as a Top 5 restaurant on TripAdvisor, testament to their commitment to quality and customer experience. Rather than positioning itself as merely a restaurant, Gulens emphasises being a destination where every visit becomes a memory and new guests quickly become regulars. The business successfully bridges casual dining with special occasion excellence, offering something for both midweek dinners and celebrations.
