The wait staff is very attentive to ur needs as a customer & efficient the dish prices are what expect in SV but well worth it all food was fresh tasted top notch???. So for our starters we ordered the Cold Sampler Plate- Pita Bread, 5 dips Tzatziki, Hummus, Dolma, Babba Ghanoush, Kalamatiano, Melitzanosalata; 4 Cheese Tiropita made a little Unorthodox to the usual Croissant dough instead of Pilo dough tasted fabulous-Feta,Goat, Parmesan, Mozzarella Cheese. ? Gyro Plate-Lamb,Beef,Red Onion, Tzatziki, Salad, Rice scoop, the meat was cooked to perfection ???. Must Try then review it if you closer to authentic Greek Food come here forget bout Sultana down the street.Parking: Lots of free parking Downtown MP.

Experience at Galata Bistro is always amazing! The food is delicious and healthy and fresh.. The weight staff is so friendly. If it comes out super fast and it is overall excellent experience. A lot of bistro is one of my absolute favorite restaurants.

I eat the same thing at home everyday. A friend asks me meet him at Galata for lunch (first time going out in months), and I eat Greek salad with falafel.In the next 12 hours I have all types of gastrointestinal issues that I never have. Like food poisoning lite. I would never eat here

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.

This was our first visit, but the tables around us were filled with returning guests. Friendly and quick service. I asked for Aryan and while they were out, the waiter made one especially for me. Delicious!The house kebab was excellent! Juicy with a crisp exterior. My guest loved her falafel and we wished we lived closer to return for another meal.

Went there for dinner with the team and was not disappointed. First and foremost, the food was very tasty. I ordered vegetarian, but everyone in my team ordered different dishes, and they were lip smacking. The staff was courteous, and the ambiance was very cozy. They have a great wine selection too. I would love to visit again.Vegetarian options: They have decent number of vegetarian options

Came here on a Saturday for lunch. Plenty of tables available so we sat inside. The decor was simple, clean and homey and nondescript. I will say flat out that the food was some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had.The first item was complimentary bread and olive oil. The bread was nice and fresh, soft and warm. A really nice starter. For appetizers, we had the dolmas and the baba ganoush. The dolmas in particular were SO good. The baba ganoush had a nice slightly smoky taste which, when paired with the warm pita bread, was like comfort food.For main dishes we had the ribeye wrap+side salad and the salmon wrap+fries. The ribeye in particular was amazing. Cooked perfectly and lots of flavor. The salmon wrap I felt was not as good but still excellent, cooked perfectly and tasted fresh.The prices were moderate, bordering on the pricey side but so worth it. Everything tasted insanely good and fresh. As we walked out the door after eating I was already thinking about when I’d come back for dinner to try more great food.

Everything about our dinner was excellent. There were 4 of us and we each ordered something different. Everything was delicious. The waiter was helpful and attentive. We sat outdoors in the tented area which has heaters above the tables. It was a chilly night, so we kept our jackets on, but the heaters kept the cold at bay. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and intend to go back again, hopefully soon.

Had a nice meal on a quiet Sunday night. Service was great and the food tasty. It's hard to find good Mediterranean food, this is a secret spot...maybe not so secret any more.Kid-friendliness: Always something for the kids in case they aren't too adventurous.

The Greek salad was a refreshing and wholesome choice, with crisp vegetables, tangy feta cheese, and a flavorful dressing that made it a light and satisfying meal.

Meat lover's haven! The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The garlic mashed potatoes were a great complement. Attentive staff and a cozy setting created a wonderful dining experience. Ideal for steak enthusiasts.
