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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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. Chief He who falls by the sword did not respect life. :/)) :)) (:=))
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
A very cool cafe. Nice decoration. It's a self order they bring you the food. Loved the place and the "Turkish Tea" was really authentic and I definitely enjoyed my time there
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
Went to pick up baklava and Kunefe. The sweets were delicious, the plain baklava especially was rich and flavorful. Service was excellent - while we waited for our kunefe they brought us complimentary Turkish tea! The ambiance was also beautiful, and there was a violinist playing live in the cafe
Very delicious! Would definitely come back. Loved the decor with all the lamps from the ceiling. Didn't get to taste the baklava but it looked good. Pictures- meat platter Avocado shake Beef wrap Hummus

Super friendly staff, they will walk you through the whole menu if needed. The place is beautiful on the inside, when not crowded it's so peaceful. I tried their desert and pistachio latte, and it was made to perfection. Pistachio tres leche was one of the best I had, not super sweet. Specially the creamer on top. Just wow! They are halal! read more

Food is great and freshly made. Service is fast the best if it all is the ambiance and the live artist performer. It takes you right to turkey and galata vibes without leaving your town. Highly recommend for group brunch and hang out with friends and family read more

This is a cute little cafe. I got some things out of the case to go, baklava and turkish delight. The baklava is very heavily saturated with syrup, so it is soft and not crispy like some Greek baklava is, fyi. I also got some kind of pastry with pistachio cream. The pastry was ok but I prefer the pistachio cream I have gotten from Italian stores, but others may like it. I tried pistachio cake and the texture was good, but it did not taste like anything. Friendly staff. read more

My friends and I were heading to Dearborn to check out the Henry Ford museum and ventured downtown to grab some coffee. My boyfriend stopped the car when driving by Galata Sweets exclaiming "wait that's Turkish!!". My boyfriend is from Istanbul and has only been here for a few years. He was so excited so we decided to stop in. The place it self is stunning! Everything is decorated beautifully with wall art and Turkish lamps. Traditional Turkish music was playing and my boyfriend said it reminded him of home. It was really busy but the wait staff was able to clear us a table within 15 minutes of arriving. The tables have fun vests and Turkish hats as some simple decor. We will definitely make reservations next time. We ordered a whole feast to share among 4! Smit- amazing! Came out warm and fluffy yet crispy! Menemen- we added cheese and sausage, it was well spiced and came out warm. Cheese plate- had 3 different types of cheeses our favorite being the braided one! Olives- both my Turkish boyfriend and Greek friend agreed they were amazing! Dips- it came with a pistachio spread, Nutella, Tahini, strawberry jam, and honey. We all decided that the pistachio spread was the best! Labneh- mouth watering and so unique! The mint and summac were game changers Manti- great but definitely not something I would order in the morning with breakfast. Gozleme- perfectly cooked with melty cheese! Turkish tea- came out in cute cups and tasted great! Kunefe- could have used a bit more cheese but definitely get it with ice cream!!! The ice cream was so unique and not too sweet. Needless to say but this place is amazing! My boyfriend raves about its authenticity and great menu. Our service was quick and our waitress was so fun! We will definitely be back! read more
I found this place by browsing the map to find something interesting in downtown Dearborn. Galata was listed as a Turkish Bakery so I was excited to try it out. The inside is nice and they have a good selection of items. I wanted to try several things but decided on the cheesecake. Flavor-wise, it was the best cheesecake I've ever had but it was baked just a tad bit too long. The other guest got a pack of Macarons and they were quite good! I most definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a nice dessert. read more

The ambiance in this place is amazing. I walked in and was immediately astonished by the cultural decor. I came on a weekday so it was empty. I forgot the name of the dessert I ordered but it was sort of like a pudding with a pistachio light layer on top. For $11 it was kind of pricey but it was delicious! You can find all kinds of dessert here. Overall i would definitely come again! read more

Very beautifully decorated dessert shop at the heart of West Dearborn. There are elements of Turkish heavily incorporated into the design. They have an assortment of Turkish desserts as well American staples like cheesecake. I ordered a caramel macchiato and they made it pretty quickly. Staff were really nice, I even got a complimentary Turkish delight with my order. read more

Outstanding flavors prepared with great care make this spot truly special. We enjoyed every mouthful, but equally as distinctive was the gracious service. Our server made excellent suggestions and was genuinely interested in making our experience great. We recommend Galata Sweets highly and will return when we are next in the Detroit area. read more

Stopped in here to grab baklava as we were waiting to eat at a restaurant nearby. We tried the walnut baklava. Super good but I wish It was a little flakier. The restaurant is really nice and small cafe type of environment. I spotted a pistachio tres leches that I'll need to try next time!!! read more

Husband brought me to this place to experience authentic dessert and coffee. I was very excited. The ambience is cute. I really liked that they have national costumes for people to try on (hats and vests) but the place was super busy on Friday night, which is good for business but not so much for the customers. Most of the desserts were sold out. Tables not cleaned. Huge line to order. The dessert was good but limited. Took whatever was available. Was very excited initially but at the end disappointed with overcrowding and limited dessert option. I would recommend this place to try but not on the weekend. read more

Stopped in after reading an article on Channel 4 News about top 4 doners in the Detroit area. Galetas was one of them. We got the chicken and the "meat" versions. It was pretty busy and while we waited for our to go ordered one of the servers brought us a small dish of chewy treats. They are not something I would have again. I had the meat doner. Both of us decided the bread was chewy and lifeless and tasteless. The sauce was extremely minty and needed to be dipped in the provided side of sauce. I doubt I'll go back but it was worth a try! read more
Ugh so torn. Kind of want to give it a 3 but that feels mean because they just opened and the dessert was good and so was the ambiance so I'll up to a 4. I was super excited to try this place but I ignored some google reviews that said food wasn't that good and it's expensive. They were right. All of this was almost $60. Now I don't mind paying for good food. But most of the food, other than the desert, was mediocre and the worst pide I've had. The only outstanding thing was the baklava. Their other desserts looked good too We ordered the menemen (eggs), some phyllio dough and cheese thing, pide, labneh, baklava, and a salt yogurt drink. The eggs weren't bad but it tastes like something a 10 year old can make. Nothing special. I wouldn't order it again. Just tastes like a regular omelette with peppers. Definitely NOT worth the nearly $18. The pide bread tasted like little Cesar's without the sauce. I had pide at 2 other places and also Costco sells frozen ones. All of those were ****miles**** better than this one. The crust on the other ones were perfection. This one was just like tough bread. The labneh was good but it's labneh. You can't really mess it up. But $7 almost for that TINY amount. That's ridiculous. Had I known it was that small I wouldn't have gotten it. The phyllio and cheese thing was fine but I was too full by the time I got to it. The aryan drink with salt and yogurt was not for me. I won't hold it against them though. I just never tried and wanted to. It also tasted like it had garlic in it. I guess it's probably an acquired taste. The baklava was good and the other desserts looked good. If you're looking for a cute cafe to hang out in and get some dessert and drinks, this is a good place. But if you want a meal, avoid tbh. read more

Their Turkish delight selection is so fresh and one of the bests I've had in the states (and i am from Turkey knowing the best local delight taste). I liked that they give the entire pot of coffee they cook for you, so can have a little extra. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Super cute decoration and lights. Tastefully designed read more

Came here bc the place we were going to was unexpectedly closed. It was a happy accident bc the place was great! The lahmacun was delicious w all the side veggies. And the beef doner was amazing. The bread was so soft, the meat tender and there was tons of it. Not sure what the sauce was but it was a great combination. Prices were reasonable for the portions. Place was cute and clean. The server was polite. Overall a great experience and definitely coming back read more
Galata is a beautiful, modern Turkish restaurant on Mason St in Dearborn. It's a very clean location and the food is great. We really enjoyed the hot Turkish Tea on this cold December day! It's very rare to see a restaurant serve Manti (middle eastern dumplings in yogurt sauce) but you can find it here! For me it's the star player here, I loved it so much, it's simply comfort food. Everything was really good but I'd come back here for the Manti! read more
