I’m from Peru and I had never tried Turkish food until I knew Galata Kebab. The food is really delicious and the service really good too! 100% recommend this place! Love it!

Alata Restaurant is truly a hidden gem! The lahmacun, minced meat pide, and beef pide were outstanding — some of the best I’ve had in the US. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Turkish cuisine!

The best Turkish pide in town! They have a lot of different Turkish pides. All of them are amazing, crispy, flavorful, and fresh. The staff are very kind and friendly. Definitely recommended.

My bro and I went here Wednesday evening. It was pretty empty, just us, then a solo diner showed up later. I feel they do most business on Uber Eats and Doordash. The service was EXCELLENT, the food was BEYOND AMAZING. The salad that was included, was one of the BEST I’ve had in my life, so fresh, like the vegetables were picked today on site. The rice, there’s something SPECIAL about the rice. Everything was so DELICIOUS and I felt GREAT after consuming. This place will now be included in my rotation. I shall return. Oh and there’s a Turkish Grocery on site. Try the Figs.

This looked so different we had to try it and we enjoyed the food. There are a few of tables outside and several inside. We ordered at the counter but the food was brought to the table. The baklava is some of the best I have ever eaten

They have only a few items on the menu, but everything is very delicious—especially the meatballs, which are fantastic. We loved it. Even though we don’t live in the Miami area, it’s a great place to enjoy authentic Turkish pide and meat.

Ever since that last meal at CITIR in East Boca, I’ve been craving a casual Turkish spot closer to home. Then I remembered Galata Kabab & Pide—a place we visited maybe five years ago. Quiet then, and still quiet now. Practically hidden in a sleepy plaza with only one neighbor: a medical call center. Blink and you’ll miss it.
Inside, it’s serene—almost eerily so. The kind of silence you don’t expect from a restaurant. But then you notice the music. Not pop or Turkish radio, but soft, lullaby-like instrumentals playing gently in the background. It’s almost hypnotic, the kind of soundtrack that makes you exhale and slow down. You could probably fall asleep in your chair if the food weren’t so good.
Jay, the owner, is originally from Istanbul. He’s been running Galata for eight years now. The space used to be a pizza joint, but he’s turned it into a minimalist Turkish kitchen that focuses on what matters: kebabs, lahmacun, and pides. The menu isn’t huge, but every item feels considered.
Jay butchers and grinds the lamb for the kofte himself. The chicken? Marinated for 30 hours. Everything is cooked fresh, seasoned just right, and served without pretense. It’s the kind of place where the food does all the talking.
There’s also a little Turkish grocery area in the back—cheeses, yogurts, pantry goods, cookies. Nothing flashy, just honest imports for people who miss home or are curious enough to explore it.
It’s not a scene. It’s not loud. It’s not trying to be anything it’s not. It’s just good food, soft music, and a guy named Jay quietly doing it right.

Well, the purpose of going to a restaurant is essentially to eat good food, right? So, I am giving 5 stars for the food. We ordered lahmacun ( made with ground beef), pide (with ground beef + kashkaval cheese ) and yogurt drink. The food was delicious, hands down. I experienced restaurants who put stuff in their menu and lure you into thinking that they will do justice to the food they put in their menus which turns out to be huge disappointment in the end. This place is not one of them, they do what they do really good! And the service is pretty fast. That is a plus. An area to improve I think is how they greet customers. Nobody is smiling; that’s a little awkward. And honestly the food was overpriced for my expectations, but it is a subjective thing afterall. They also have a little shop inside the restaurant to buy some authentic pantry essentials like tahini, olives, tomate paste, pepper paste, pomegranate molases and the likes, and surprisingly those items are reasonably priced compared to other ethnic stores. Overall, I sincerely recommend this restaurant to try Turkish delicacies.
