One of the best mixed grills I have had. Huge portions and very generous with the meat. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the smokiness coming from the kitchen. Staff were very friendly and accommodating for birthdays (we had a dessert and a handwritten note given to us!). Definitely would return!

The food was so good that it rocked my world. My partner who is a picky eater savored every bite. And as we finished this delicious meal, he told me to leave a great review. We had mix shish and mix hot starters. They served everything with delicious bread and sauces that are to die for. I have no doubt everything else here is delicious and worth a trip in the cold rain! Cheers!

After a recent trip to Turkey, my wife and I were craving authentic Turkish cuisine here in London. A quick Google search led us to Galata Pera, and what a fantastic discovery it turned out to be! From the warm welcome we received to the impeccable dining experience, everything was truly exceptional. The food was absolutely phenomenal! Every dish burst with authentic flavors. The fresh, fluffy bread paired perfectly with the creamy, rich hummus, setting the stage for the meal. The shish kebabs were a highlight—tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. They were served with some of the best-cooked and most flavorful rice we have had in ages, making every bite unforgettable. Galata Pera is a hidden gem for anyone seeking authentic Turkish flavors in London. With outstanding food, a cozy ambiance, and excellent service, it is a must-visit. We will definitely be returning soon!

We recently moved into the neighborhood and are so glad we found this hidden gem! The food was incredibly tasty, and the drinks were a perfect match. I had a glass of Turkish red wine, and it was delicious. I can see this spot becoming our favorite choice!

Absolutely fantastic food. Staff all very friendly and responsive. The restaurant was clean and tidy. I had the mixed grill and it was brilliant. The bread is all made fresh, and the charcoal of the grill gives a great flavour to everything. A real hidden gem - will be back again.

Came here on a weekday & it was very quiet. For starters we ordered the mixed platter which was really tasty, it was shared between four of us which worked well. Went well with the bread they served alongside. For the main we went for the mixed sharing platter which had a mixture of lamb and chicken, served with rice and salad. The lamb kebab was very tasty and succulent, the chicken shish was a bit dry and not as good, I enjoyed the rib and found the lamb shish a bit too chewy. Both platters were good value for money shared between four of us. The drinks were a bit pricey- especially cans of soft drinks being close to 4 and a cheeky service charge added because it was paid for in advance as opposed to added to the final bill. All in all the service was good, the food arrived in good time and was tasty for the most part. They also had a nice Christmas decoration theme with the lights etc.
