I have to qualify this review by stating two things - 1. I was picking up a too good to go bag and 2. it was during the world cup AMBIANCE - this place was PACKED at 11:00pm on a Friday, and it didn't look like it was slowing down by the time I left. It was pretty snug in the place as people were staring at the World Cup games that were being shown in the spot. People didn't seem to mind sitting with strangers, just so they could find a spot to sit down. SERVICE - I went to pick up my order, and the guy told me he'd be back in just a minute. However, looking at the number of orders ahead of me, I knew it was going to be more than just a minute. The guy looked a little overwhelmed, but gathered the order tickets, and arranged them in sequence, and they started knocking them out one after the other. MENU/FOOD - this place had a variety of desserts, coffees and teas. I wish I could tell you all what they were, but I have no clue. Suffice it to say, aesthetically, they looked very pleasing. When I finally got my order, I received a baked sesame stick, that basically tasted like a bagel, just in stick form, and a couple of other small shaped breads. While they looked pretty, there was nothing in them, so that was a little disappointing, but hey, it was a "surprise bag" so beggars can't be choosers. OVERALL - I might come back and give this place a second shot, but it certainly would not be during a super busy time like the world cup. CELEBRITY RATING - Can Yaman read more

Nice seating area to catch up with a group over some bites and drinks. Only tried the red tea, which was good, but quite weak and came out to $28 for a large pot. Barely got to dilute the tea with the hot water and there was only enough for 1.5 small cups (~5 oz) or so per person in a group of 5. read more

This spot had been on my list for quite some time, I actually bookmarked it just for their stunning mosaic lights and the ambience. The lighting alone is absolutely beautiful and gives the place a warm, magical vibe. We stopped by after a good, filling dinner elsewhere, hoping to enjoy some dessert, and honestly the best part ended up being that they're open till 3 AM. We placed our order at the counter and took a seat. My friends wanted to try the Adeni tea, but the pale color already predicted how it was going to taste and it wasn't great. We also ordered kunafa and baklava, and both were super disappointing, especially considering how pricey they were. Definitely not worth the cost. They did have live music going on, which added a nice touch, but overall the desserts and drinks didn't match the ambience or the expectations I had from this place. read more

Came here to meet with some friends and immediately fell in love with the decor, particularly the lighting! The Turkish mosaic chandeliers throughout the shop were beautiful! The interior is on the smaller side but there is plenty of seating. When we entered we were greeted by staff, told to pick a table and scan the QR code for the menu, once you look over the menu, go back to the counter and place your order. I ordered traditional Turkish tea which came in a çaydanlık, traditional glass tea cups and a side of sugar cubes. I didn't opt for any food as I had already eaten prior but they have a large selection of sweet and savory options. Overall, loved the service and space and will definitely be back to try some food options next time! read more

I used a third party to purchase it so unfortunately I can't say anything about the price but I gotten a variety of things and they were super tasty. Currently still tasting (to-go order) and I definitely will be back to try some other things. Which if you have a sweet tooth they have a full variety of fluffy desserts. Do I know what they're called? Nope, but they're pretty. Also the interior is super colorful which if you know me I love some color. This place is also seat yourself but I think you have to order up front. Then they'll bring your stuff to your table which they are open till 1:00 a.m. You looking for something new... Try this place out! Would I be back?... Yes! read more

The taste is good and the spirt of the store is so nice and the staff members are so nice

A highly must if you're in the area and you want something different from the norm! We showed up here with every expectation of Turkish desert and they delivered highly! The theme / decor really brings parts of Turkey to Dearborn but more importantly the desert, Baklava (with a spin of added ice cream) and the Turkish coffee was amazing. The location has one cashier who also serves your order but definitely take your time and talk to them as they were very helpful in making big decisions amongst so many great choices. There was an entertainer with a guitar but not sure if that's a daily thing or we happened to be there when they offered. Great setting for family and friends. read more

Where do you go for Sunday brunch with a heat advisory in place? You seek out a nice and cool restaurant to meet a dear friend, who is a vegetarian. We decided to try something new and different. We dined in at the Dearborn location of Galata Turkish Sweets. I had been here for Turkish coffee but not eat. Since this was both of our first time dining here, we ordered a table full of dishes. We were being adventurous! Many items we ordered we had to ask our friend, Google, what they were we weren't familiar with Turkish cuisine. This made our brunch even more fun. We ordered lentil soup, a chikofte plate for an appetizer, the special mini meze with one skimit and 5 sides, the eggs & sucuk and from the blender, an ayran cup. This came with multiple breads. Emre was nice enough to explain what we had before us. We dove in tasting the various items until we were full. I loved the eggs and sucuk. It was perfect for a late breakfast and an early lunch. The chikofte plate was delicious too. We appreciated all the flavors and spices. My only drawback for me was my Ayran cup was not my cup of tea. I figure it for those with an acquired taste for this yogurt-based drink. We were so full that we didn't leave any room for dessert this time around. read more

The hype is real when it comes to Turkish cultural experience here. The pizza here is at a top notch level! accommodate your requests with no issues from scan menu. Ambiance is nice dim lighting is just right with beautiful Turkish lamps, but the food... wow, just perfect! It's worth every bite. I like seeing that quality control in a restaurant, makes me feel like my money is well spent. It also reflects on the singer too very beautiful voice . That is all.

We had a lovely family visit here one early morning while in Dearborn. I appreciated how early they open. We were bopping our way through the area for a progressive breakfast. Galata Sweets looks like a Disney for Turkish+ sweets. We ordered Kanafe warmed up, fresh carrot orange juice and another treat (failed to get the name) that was a little too fried and sweet for our liking. The kanafe and juice were both delightful. We could have bought much more but fought the urge to overload our first stop. Note that you have to purchase ahd order juices separately from the baked goods counter. Highly recommend if you're in the area! While you're here, bop next door to sesame house and thank us later! We enjoyed our self-guided sweet then savory food crawl! read more

OMG how I love this place- and everyone who works here is so friendly... I was walking around town killing time because my favorite avocado shake is in the menu for 5:00pm (no idea why but you should wait for it, it's that good) and I showed up at 4:59 annoying I know but they were so nice about it I've previously had breakfast here and all was delicious but I come back for this avocado concoction (and it's so rich, it lasts for days!! Or share it) I truly try NOT to take a few pieces of that chocolate baklava home but you should try that too- the boys are so friendly, you'll buy up everything read more

Came here based on the reviews. The shop is nicely decorated and clean. I grabbed some baklava for myself and as a gift. The server was very pleasant. I was fasting so didn't get to try the baklava until 2 hours later. I got a variety of about 5 different kinds and each was more inedible than the last. Sickeningly sweet, drenched in syrup with no crunch whatsoever over. Just soggy! This is not what baklava is supposed to taste like read more

Went to pick up baklava and Kunefe. The sweets were delicious, the plain baklava especially was rich and flavorful.

So I really like to be positive but I can't really say anything positive except the building was nice it was clean. Bit the pastries I received were less than meh.

I fell in love with Turkish coffee when I was younger and on an international assignment in the Middle East to include frequent trips to Turkey. The full bodied nature of this coffee really appeals to me where Galata's makes a very good and authentic cup of this style of coffee. Interacting with the staff of this restaurant while waiting for my coffee to brew brought back great memories of my younger years of enjoying a cup of Turkish Coffee with friends or while meeting and making new friends. Relative to my first dining experience here, I came into this business with the express purpose of trying only their deserts and coffee where I got an assortment of the sweets they had on hand which included their house made Baklava which was delicious and the star of the deserts I had. while eating the deserts I kept seeing these tempting entrees come out of their kitchen for other customers where I felt absolutely compelled (: to to try more of what this business has to offer and ended up getting a traditional Turkish Beef sandwich that was soooo tasty. Definately a good call on my part! Overall, good friendly service and tasty food are a hard combination to beat which this business meets in spades. If you like Turkish food and/or want to expose your palate to something new Than you should definately check this business out. read more

First time here and I will definitely be back! The TURKISH COFFEE here is so bold and full of flavor! There's so many different shapes, layers and textures of baklavas I had a hard time choosing even just three! And they were delightful! The service and staff were very welcoming and informative especially it being my first time here I pretty much got the hang of know what I was ordering and what were the base ingredients. They have live music and the colors, furniture, decor are all so nice to look at. I HADDD to snap some photos of the light fixtures. Definitely recommend trying some sweets and dining in. read more

Wanted to try something I never had and the salep was described as a sweet cream. It was delicious and hot. I was taking small sips so i aassumed that the cream was on top and there was another liquid underneath. When it began to cool it started getting thick. I stuck a knife in to discover that it was all "sweet cream." After looking it up, i found that it is actually orchid flour, which explains why it became so thick after cooling. I enjoyed it, but it was too much for me to finish & the texture change after cooling wasn't to MY liking. (I'd ask for less & drink it quickly.) The baklava was just as deliciously sweet as i'd hoped. read more

Galata sweets is a *very* well established Turkish Coffee and pastry shop in Dearborn. The coffee is always amazing, regardless of its traditional Turkish, and Americano, a cappuccino or espresso. Warning tho if you've never had Turkish coffee it is lava hot, remarkably strong and served in a stunning copper pot and cup. The setting of Galata is colorful with traditional seating with separators on the shared spaces and beautiful chandeliers. Despite the coffee being made as authenticity Turkish - they are still fast. I've been here when it's very very busy but today is Eid so it's a little less busy because many are still fasting. Enjoy read more

As someone who was just visiting Michigan for the weekend, I never would have expected to encounter such an authentic Turkish place in Dearborn! But alas, here it was! When you step in, you immediately know it is authentic based on all the Turkish decor around and the delicious food with unique presentation. Menemen ($17.95 + $4.95 for sucuk) - This is like a Turkish version of a classic breakfast platter, with eggs, tomato, and onions in a plate covered with melted cheese. The sucuk (Turkish sausage) was a good addition to have some meat in there. This is a delicious breakfast option. Gozleme spinach/cheese ($6.95) - These are like little crispy fried pancakes with spinach/cheese inside. A tasty pastry-type breakfast or snack. Sütlaç ($7.95) - This is a delicious Turkish rice pudding. Not overly sweet and has a nice creamy consistency. Ayran cup ($5.95) - This Turkish yogurt drink was basically salted yogurt. Kind of an interesting flavor for those not accustomed to it, but not bad at all. Turkish coffee ($4.95 for 12 oz) - If you are a coffee fan, this is a must try, not just for the flavor but also the unique and authentic presentation. They bring the coffee with these cute intricately designed Turkish cups and a coffee pot (if you choose to get a pot). The coffee is quite strong so they also serve them with little cube-shaped sweet Turkish delights, which taste like a combo of chocolate ganache and marshmallow layers. As mentioned, the environment really sets this place apart, as it really feels like a Turkish bakery/restaurant with Turkish designs all around, including the famous mosaic hanging lighting overhead. They are also playing Turkish music. The staff are friendly and the service speed is quick. It was pretty busy on a weekend morning, but we were able to get a table with no issues. Overall, if you are looking for a breakfast/brunch/snack/dessert in Dearborn and interested in an authentic Turkish experience, then I would highly recommend you visit Galata. read more

Been here a couple times for coffee but just tried breakfast on my most recent visit, and I'm sad I didn't try it sooner. I ordered the cheese pide and I added an egg, bastirma, and veggies to it. My only complaint would be that I thought the egg would be on the runny side, as it looked on their online menu, but it came out fully cooked like the other toppings - still it was very flavorful and I loved it. My friend ordered the Lebanese Fateh and although she said it could have used more garlic flavor, she still really enjoyed it. Very cute decor as well, and workers are all so sweet. read more

Introduced to Turkish coffee and sweets only recently. Amazed by the flavor and presentation by each pastry they have on display. Not a fan of coffee? Galata Sweets also brew tea and offer American inspired desserts like cheesecake and mousse cakes. Arrived at 7pm and the people were enjoying the music played lived by a local musician. A guy plays a flute and a female musician is playing a violin. Free entertainment. Some guests ate dinner. Their menu consists of meat and vegetarian meals. I've seen wraps, kebabs and fries on the list. For the coffee, they can brew Turkish, American and Espresso. Pair it with their sweet baklava, kanafe, cakes and cheese cakes. Love the ambiance. Baristas make the coffee fresh and also serve the meals for you. Very friendly staff. Prices reasonable. Interior of the dining area is inspired with Turkish flag, colorful lights and wood carvings. Galata is situated in corner street and the Parking is just across. Very conveniently located. Highly recommend Galata Sweets! read more

I was in town from Arizona and a friend suggested to eat here for breakfast. Our meal was incredible. We ordered the mezze plate, the pide, and Turkish coffee. By far, my favorite was the Lebanese feteh. Crunchy, rich, fresh and delicious. I ordered some baklava to bring home with us to Arizona and I had to tell my husband to quit eating it so I could have some! My favorite part of the meal was the service. The gentleman behind the counter was so helpful, kind and friendly. The presentation of our food was impeccable. If I come back to Dearborn, I will definitely come back!! read more

Amazing - my favorite place to go when in Dearborn because the vibes make you feel like you're back home. Nice music, the best sweets and a whole pot of tea - what could you want better than that.

Can't wait to go back read more

Istanbul is one of my favorite cities to visit so I was super excited when I saw this place nearby and it did not disappoint. Tried the pide, menemen, simit, baklava, and tea and all were delicious and exactly as I remember from Istanbul. I opted to add veggies to my cheese pide but wouldn't do that again as the cheese on its own is so flavorful that it doesn't need the extra boost. Staff were also very friendly and ambiance very nice. Highly recommend. read more
