Galata Butcher Deli Grill

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at this incredible Turkish restaurant, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and authentic decor transported me straight to Istanbul. The service was genuinely welcoming—friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure every detail was perfect. Finally, Ismail, you are too awesome!

Absolutely amazing experience. The mixed grill was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and incredibly juicy. Every item on the plate was delicious and fresh. The real highlight was our server Ismael. He was friendly, professional, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. His attention to detail and positive attitude really stood out. Easily a five-star visit. We’ll definitely be coming back.

The cuisine was exceptional, offering a delightful taste experience. We sampled cigkofte, kokorec, shepherd salad (which could benefit from a pomegranate sauce), and a mixed plate. Despite numerous negative reviews regarding their kokorec, our experience was highly positive. Additionally, I have tried Adana Kebab at various establishments, but none have surpassed the exceptional Adana Kebab I encountered here. The meal has left me feeling satiated. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.

We came all the way from Virginia just to try their unique dishes like kelle paça, kokoreç, and midye dolma and it was absolutely worth it! The food was delicious, the service was fast, and the whole experience felt authentic. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Absolutely Delicious and Memorable We were truly impressed by the quality and taste of everything we tried. The desserts were rich, fresh, and full of flavor — clearly made with top-quality ingredients. The service was excellent. The staff were kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the people are this good. We left happy and fully satisfied — can’t wait to come back!

“An exceptional culinary experience. Every detail on the plate was thoughtfully prepared – from the perfectly seasoned meat to the rich tomato sauce and the creamy yogurt. Turkish cuisine at its finest.”

I hadn’t had anchovies in a long time, and I had a wonderful one here. We had a lovely family dinner. All the dishes we tried were delicious. The staff was attentive, and the place was clean. Thank you, Galata Butcher Grill.
