Galata Turkish Halal Grill Restaurant: Authentic Turkish Cuisine in Long Beach, CA

Been wanting to visit the restaurant for a long time. I'm glad I finally tried it. Great location but parking is a bit challenging in Belmont shores. The restaurant is cozy and well decorated. The staff is extremely warm and welcoming. The menu offers lots of yummy options. Portions could be a bit larger considering the price. I would recommend making reservations especially on weekends. The have patio seating but I think only two tables. Inside there are about eight tables with two large booth style seating to accommodate families.

Everything was fantastic from the service to the food to the ambiance. Great place to go for some authentic Turkish dishes served by Turks themselves. Definitely the best lamb I've ever had, and their pepper sauce was delicious! Be sure to try an apple or pomegranate tea and stop by their desert shop next door!

This was my first time here, and honestly, I’ve been to almost every Turkish restaurant across the America, I can easily put this one at the very top. The menu is huge, the place is spotless and well organized, and the design is modern and stylish. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, with generous and filling portions. The highlight of our visit was Sefkan, the staff member who took care of us. He treated us with genuine hospitality and made us feel truly welcome just like a real host should. Right next door, there’s also a dessert shop where you can find all the classic Turkish sweets and ice cream. Their desserts and ice cream were outstanding as well. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

Wonderful experience. It's my first time trying Turkish cuisine and it's fantastic. Staff were friendly, was checking couple of times if we needed something and if we are doing okay. Their hospitality was incredible. Gave us recommendations on food, offered us hot Turkish tea at the end as a complimentary surprise.

Employees were very welcoming and attentive. Food was delicious and everything we ordered was a hit! Especially loved the potatoes in vinegar and the sun dried tomato olive oil with pita bread! Will definitely be coming back here.

I came here for my birthday tonight. My friend sent me a picture of some coffee they had so that’s what first brought me here. Okay so my waiter was suleyman. Fantastic service! He was so kind and friendly! Food was fantastic! 15/10 atmosphere was amazing! The tea, great! Coffee , great! Food, great , dessert, delicious! I will definitely coke back here and I’ve already told people about it. Love it! All my friends enjoyed it as much as I did too! All the staff are so friendly and nice all with smiles on their face too! Really welcoming

The food is amazing! Such a great taste of Turkish/middle eastern food. Reasonably priced and great home cooked meals. Ferhat had a great attitude as well and always made sure we were well taken care of. The plates are large portions as you can see we had enough for leftovers.

I went to Galata Restaurant with three of my friends and had such an amazing experience. We ordered the mixed kebab plate, köfte plate, and Adana kebab plate — everything was so delicious and perfectly cooked. After our meal, they brought us pomegranate tea, and honestly, it was the best tea I’ve ever had in my life. The staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive. I’ve literally never been to a restaurant with better customer service. Everyone was so kind and polite, and one of the workers in particular was just the sweetest — I wish I had asked for his name! He was so attentive and always asked how we were doing. Super friendly people. We all left with full stomachs, big smiles, and just such a great feeling. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality made it feel like I was back in Istanbul. (One thing I will add is that the prices were quite high, but the atmosphere can slightly make up for it!) Can’t wait to go back here for more!
