    The restuarant had excellent food; however we did not know they were closing and it was their last day. the service was terrible. Value and food excellent if resturant opens at another location and service improves

    I picked Galata Bistro initially because it is Turkish. We visited Istanbul last year and stayed in the Galata Tower area. Even so, the food was delicious and the service excellent. There were several things on the menu I wanted to try, but settled for the warm goat cheese salad and olive dip with pita. Truly excellent. I will certainly go back there again.

    Great food, amazing service, friendly and welcoming staff. Prices were very reasonable. The ambience could be improved a bit perhaps by putting boot seats and improving privacy .

    Sat outside and it was very pleasant. Haven’t been here in awhile and the menu has changed. My favorite dish is gone. Had the Moussaka and it was just okay. Disappointed. Other person had the Babaganoush and it was tasteless. The kebabs seemed to ne a better choice.

    We were a bit rushed as we just beat the kitchen closing so were the only patrons late on a Monday night. The food came out quickly and the grilled octopus was done perfectly. The complimentary bread and dip were also very nice. Both of our entrees were well made. Definitely worth a visit and we'll be back.
