COK GUZEL - I ordered a variety of food for 5 people as a take out. I chose Cardak as I have always had great food from them when I have eaten in or taken home. I was not disappointed. The staff are efficient, warm and friendly. The food was outstanding quality, extremely tasty and generously portioned and also good value for money, ready for collection at the designated time and piping hot. We had a feast of flavours and very much enjoyed our food. To those looking for a great dining experience and service I would recommend Cardak. Afiyet Olusun and tessekur ederim!!

Booked last minute. Even though restaurant was busy food and service was spot on. We had the mixed grill and the meat was tender! We even got a complimentary dessert which was a nice touch! The feta cheese was delicious 😋

We dined in on a Monday evening. One of the few places open on a Monday!! Really impressed by the generous service (free bread, olives and dip) and the absolutely perfectly cooked shish. The portions were generous and delicious, with both the lamb and the chicken flavourfully flame cooked yet tender and juicy. Honestly the best Turkish I have had in a long while, we will definitely be back. Can imagine it has a great atmosphere at busier times! Only disappointment was they didn't have any mint for a mint tea. Hopefully they do next time.

I have been a regular customer of Cardak for a few years. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone thinking to visit, the food is great and the staff are friendly. The business is family run and the food is always perfect. I have tried various dishes from this restaurant and every-time they have been delicious. I highly recommend, worth the visit!

We came as a group of girls to have our supper here for a special occasion and the staff were great from the start - polite, friendly, welcoming. One of our girls had an unfortunate medical situation collapsing with a seizure mid meal and one of the staff, might’ve been the manager, could not have been more helpful with calling 999 immediately and offering any assistance and help as quickly as he could, even turning off the music in the restaurant. After the ambulance came he gave us all free bottle of waters and was very caring in checking us and our friend were okay. Lovely service and also very tasty food. Thank you for having us and looking after us. Clementine

Despite a recommendation we found our visit to this restaurant which is located at the top of town disappointing. We could not quite lay our finger on the reason maybe a lot of small points. We thought it was overpriced the food only average and no atmosphere.

I went twice to Cardak with my brother and with colleagues in the space of two weeks this March. Very friendly atmosphere, courteous waiters. The food - excellent starters, I was impressed by the saksuka with aubergine and superb mains, lamb shish, adana shish and kofte - was excellent and the Turkish wines - both white and red, I remember a red called Angora named after the capital Ankora - were fantastic. Will definitely come back.

Great place to let your hair down with friends. The 4 of us has various shish with rice and the sides we chose from cigar shaped parcels to hummus and pitta. It was all tasty and plentiful!! Large restaurant so we didn't overwhelm the other customers after a few glasses of rose among friends. Reasonably priced and very friendly efficient waiters. No after dinner mint chocs which I was hoping for - just to top off the evening but I do love a mint or after eight chockie with the bill when on a girls night out. I won't take any stars away for that obviously. We all enjoyed our meal. Thank you. We will be back.

We had the pleasure of dining at Cardak Meze and trying their Lahmacun and Lamb Shish dishes. The Lahmacun was perfectly crispy and flavorful. The Lamb Shish was cooked to perfection, juicy and tender with a delicious marinade. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Broadstairs.

The food was mediocre, chicken and lamb were overcooked and dry. Portions are small and when you're paying £18-20 for a main course you expect to receive a decent portion. Ice cream was just bad and at £6.90 it's daylight robbery. Unfortunately some orders were wrong and we were too polite to correct them when they came out. Furthermore the ambience is killed by the amount of flies that are flying around whilst you're trying to have a conversation or eat. Overall, I'd give this place a miss and won't be coming back.

Overall, everyone enjoyed their meal would happily come again. Service was good too, very friendly people here!

I’m not the type to review restaurants regularly but we have just dined here (party of 6) and the service was cold and any sense of occasion completely devoid. My main problem here is some one in the kitchen has prepared Hummus but neglected to add garlic or lemon juice which is the most simple of ingredients in any Hummus….we were served a thick Tahini dip with no flavour at all….all of us called it and instead of replacing it or acknowledging a wee mistake the young chefs made a point of proffering dirty looks through from kitchen door. The Cardak special was lacking in flavour across the board and I can honestly say that if you want traditional Turkish fayre spend the extra £10 and go to A la Turka in Ramsgate….at least they have a modicum of service etiquette and simply FAR tastier grilled meats and sides….the meal was substandard and service like something you would expect from a café trying to do Turkish fayre. Wrong. 1/5….it’s simple do better dudes.

We went as a large family group of 11, including 2 children 1 of which only had a plate of chicken wings no rice, chips or salad. A high chair, and showered her with affection and complimentary house made bread and dip. Is a regular venue for us because of their great friendly demeanor and atmosphere the experience is fascinating as you get to see the kitchen with high flames which fascinates my 16 month old daughter.

Ordered a big order from this company through Uber, sharing meat platter for 2 and a sharing platter for 2 cold mezze plus chips, the order was over £40 but disappointingly the amount of food came out was inadequate, even for one person, never mind 2 for the price! I called the company to inquire about this and they told me to: “if you don’t like it don’t order from us again!” which is my exact advice to the rest of you!

Uninspiring in all respects unfortunately. Pretentious about their menu. Tasting menu....Avoid! It is pointless. Tuesday evening, only two other couples apart from us present. Food is nothing special. Ordered a fish stew, but it was not a stew at all. Simply three small fillets of fish in a fish sauce ( supposedly boulibase but not). Wobbly table for two, Plenty of better restaurants in Thanet.

Ordered tonight, turned up, chipd cold and wrong sauce on donner meat, phoned up to be told it was my fault however definitely ordered a different sauce. Still waiting for manager to contact me regarding last weeks order when delivery driver told me it had fallen over in her car, grease everywhere and food looked like it had been in a serious accident! Waited for 1 hr 20 mins for first delivery and then 90 mins for replacement. Sadly customer service and food quality has really gone down hill recently!
