Lovely service and food was amazing (I had lamb shish). Could not have chosen better for some decent food! Read the previous reviews about wine prices and yes, on an expensive side, but did not matter to me, as I was too busy eating delicious food to have more than one glass of wine! Highly recommend it!

Second visit. Food v good. But again a bit odd in one respect. I ordered a portion of taramasalata as my starter. Comes as a very generous portion. But absolutely no bread! You are expected to eat it with the nice - but understandably - small serving of complimentary bread and 2 little dips. Well, when you are with two other people there isn't enough to eat much of your taramasalata starter. When I asked about some bread for my starter I was told I was expected to take from the complimentary serving. But there's hardly any bread as it's complimentary with those dips. Anyway, all good natured. I did ask for extra bread please and got it, freshly made, without an additional charge. Just really odd to me. Last time it was the same for my hummus starter. Paying £90+ for food you would hope to get a bit of bread...

been going to Galata for number of years last night was worst service we had ever experienced. ordered a combination of hot and cold mezzas. Cold came out 8 minutes prior to hot mezzas, when they should come out together. Mains was served to table whilst still eating our starters consequently were cold when we came to them, hence my partner didnt eat hers. Staff were displacement regarding this leve lof service which is grossly substandard. Not acceptable service and fell far below their normal standard

Down in the area working and found this Mezze Restaurant which fortunately were able to fit me in. The food is first class a humous starter followed by mixed chicken & lamb main. Portions are very generous and the food is cooked to perfection. Service was excellent despite being very busy. I can’t fault the food or service and will definitely be booking again when next in the area working.

The Galata is a lovely place to eat and there is plenty on the menu to tempt you. The atmosphere, service and quality of the food is excellent. The only thing is it's on the pricey side especially the drinks. It's a shame the cheapest bottle of wine on offer is priced at £23! Also cocktails £12 each. But as I said earlier the food is excellent so it's a place for special occasions, probably not for regular visits.

We came back for a meal to celebrate our anniversary after visiting the restaurant the year before with some friends. I am sometimes a little worried about going back when you have had a positive experience as the expectations are always higher. This was i'm glad to say a very nice second visit. The food once again was delicious and well presented. The only issue was being a rather small table for two it did mean we struggled a little bit for space feeling a little cramped, having to move the drinks around to accommodate dishes and the like. That said I understand it is a balancing act for the restaurant to make sure they have enough placings available. Rest assured we will certainly be heading back,

Thanks again lovely waitress Holly & manager Ali! Maybe the only improvement side salad could be little larger with main meal 🤭very colourful small bowl but wasn’t my kind of salad 🥗 also maybe cocktails prices are too high ! Amazing dishes for sure and we’ll be back again! Best wishes!

Galata Meze Bar Restaurant in Rainham, Gillingham, Kent is an undiscovered treasure if you haven’t already been there. Although the parking facilities behind the restaurant is limited there is a car park within two minutes walking distance from the restaurant (Orchard St Parking). The restaurant is small but I believe they have upstairs seating too which adds to the capacity. Staff are very welcoming, helpful and attentive without being overbearing. The food is delicious and the portions are more than adequate. Their vegetarian options are as good and delicious. Pricing, when compared to the quality of the food and the service, is definitely value for money. We often eat at the establishment, the last visit being on 10 February 2024. All the staff were very attentive especially Rose who attended our table.

Excellent venue for any time of the day. Came here again for a family birthday dinner. Delicious food and very friendly, efficient and professional staff. Nothing was too much trouble. We were allowed in early to decorate the table. The staff kindly allowed us to take a cake and they paid special attention to the birthday boy (age 90) Rose was an amazing waitress and afforded us all so much care and attention. We had a four year old with us and it was noted he liked tomatoes so the staff brought him a plate of tomatoes as extra. Would highly recommend this venue to everyone and we will be back again soon Thank you Galata for a memorable family event 😊

Cooked to perfection and full of delicious flavours. Very reasonable prices. I couldn’t have asked for a better first meal out of the year.

We've been here with family, friends and last night just the two of us, we're never disappointed. The staff are friendly and efficient, making you feel welcome and looked after. Service is efficient but doesn't feel rushed at all. There's a great selection of food on offer and as for portion sizes... well you're not going to leave hungry! It's all prepared to a high standard and piping hot when it needs to be. Similarly there are drinks for every preference including some fun cocktails! I can't recommend Galata Mezze enough and can't wait for my next visit!

A group of 20 of us went to Galata for dinner this week. I'd booked this restaurant after visiting in November with some friends and the lamb was 'the best I ever had'. It wasn't a one off - the lamb was complimented by a number of other guests on this occassion too, as was all the other food ordered. Considering the restaurant was full on both floors, and for such a large group, our food come out quickly, altogether and just high quality. Can't fault it. Plus the staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely visit!!

The food is lovely but I’ve been there twice now and both times the service has not been pleasant. 1st time we had a put a deposit down and had to be cash so had to arrange to go over there when it was open to drop it off, I saw them write in the diary when the deposit was paid, yet when it came to the bill at the end of the night they refused to take the deposit off unless I could provide a paper receipt of the deposit. Which just slipped my mind to bring. 1. I couldn’t have booked the table without it. 2. They should have it on their records that they received this cash from me. 3. We don’t exactly look the type to be trying to scam them. Second time was a few days ago, and they were constantly clock watching and chasing us to make a decision on our main order because they had another table book after us. We felt like they were clock watching us and chasing us up to order our drinks, order food and eat it, trying to take our plates away before we’d finished. And we only had mains! How can we enjoy an evening where we wanted to enjoy a dinner and a catch up? There were only 4 of us, we weren’t late, and they even had the cheek to ask if we wanted a drink, then they brought the drinks out with the bill and reminded us we had to be out in 5-10 mins

I ordered lamb doner meat and chips this evening and kindly requested that the meat be well done. As I watched the staff member cutting the lamb doner, I noticed that he wasn’t cooking the meat any further – just slicing it as usual. I saw he had a grill pad available where he could have grilled the meat to make it more well done, but he didn’t use it. He simply continued as if nothing was wrong. I reminded him that I specifically asked for the meat to be well done. He replied that it was already well done and, in his opinion, if he cooked it more, it would burn. But why should he care if I preferred it even more cooked, or even burned? When I pointed out the grill, he responded that he couldn’t put the meat on it. THESE GUYS ARE MISLEADING THEIR CUSTOMERS! TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND AVOIDING THIS PLACE!
