" I don't usually write reviews, but my experience at Galata was really special. The food is excellent—so much variety to choose from! I ordered the liver appetizer, which was rich and flavorful, and the meat platter for my main course. It was more than enough food for two people! The best part was the desserts; the kunefe was a must-try. The staff made us feel like family, and the atmosphere was buzzing. A perfect blend of great food and warm hospitality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Galata offers a unique taste of Turkey! The food is wonderfully prepared, my favorites were the chicken adana kebab and hummus. Service is generally smooth and friendly. The environments have a comfortable vibe, perfect for long dinners. Only the dessert selection could use a bit more variety. Otherwise, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Galata Butcher Grill for the second time and it was just as good as the first! I ordered the mixed grill platter—it was large, beautifully presented, and perfect for sharing. Each piece of meat had its own distinct flavor, showcasing their seasoning skills. The staff is very attentive and friendly, especially Emrah, who gave us great recommendations. The ambiance is relaxed but vibrant, making it a great place for a casual outing. Highly recommend this restaurant to all lovers of authentic Turkish food! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience! The ambiance was what I expected—warm and inviting. The best part was certainly the food! The staff is friendly but the wait times for our food were a bit longer than anticipated. The kokoreç was delicious, something I will definitely be back for, and I appreciate their extensive menu. However, more dessert options would make it even better! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my last visit. The food was decent but not as good as I remember from my previous experiences. The kebab was a bit dry, and the service seemed rushed. On the bright side, the atmosphere still had that charming feel it always had. I hope they can get back to what made them special before. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience at Galata! The lamb kebab was extraordinarily tender and packed with flavor. The service was warm and attentive, making us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped in. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy—perfect for a family dinner or a night out with friends. My only suggestion would be to improve the dessert menu, as I was hoping for more options. However, the food was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a recommendation, and I was blown away by the quality of the kebabs! The spices were just right and each meat was tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the rice; it complemented the dish perfectly. Service was friendly although a bit slow during peak hours, and the atmosphere was vibrant and lively. I definitely plan to return for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)
