Cardak Meze & Grill — Restaurant in Thanet

First of all, as we entered the restaurant, we went to take a seat. Me and my 3 other family members. As we about to sit down a staff member came over and said you should have reserved this seat. We obviously didn't come here before so we asked where shall we sit then? She took us to the table right next to the "reserved one." So we ordered our food: 4 turkish/very-thin-turkish-pizza-covered-with-seasoned-minced-meat-and-onions(lahmacun) and a chicken shish. and it took about 45 minutes for the lahmacuns to come and after we ate the lahmacuns we waited 35 minutes for chicken shish. We asked one of the members of staff, "did you forget about us😂" Her answer was, "no it's on its way" and then she instantly brought the chicken shish to the table ( so obviously they did forget about us). After all it was very expensive. 4 lahmacuns for 4 pounds each! And the 2 chicken shish for £38!! The chicken wasn't well cooked but the köfte that came with it was delicious ( that is why I rated it 2 stars) With all the sauces and salads it cost £70! First time I tried this place, not sure if I will again. Thanks...

I’m not the type to review restaurants regularly but we have just dined here (party of 6) and the service was cold and any sense of occasion completely devoid. My main problem here is some one in the kitchen has prepared Hummus but neglected to add garlic or lemon juice which is the most simple of ingredients in any Hummus….we were served a thick Tahini dip with no flavour at all….all of us called it and instead of replacing it or acknowledging a wee mistake the young chefs made a point of proffering dirty looks through from kitchen door. The Cardak special was lacking in flavour across the board and I can honestly say that if you want traditional Turkish fayre spend the extra £10 and go to A la Turka in Ramsgate….at least they have a modicum of service etiquette and simply FAR tastier grilled meats and sides….the meal was substandard and service like something you would expect from a café trying to do Turkish fayre. Wrong. 1/5….it’s simple do...

First and far most, I want to say that what ever the brilliant reviews about this place have said so far, just like mine, are all understatement of what an amazing place this is. We were here for a week holiday and despite the very many amazing eating place in Broadstairs, we couldn't resist coming back here the second time after our first visit. I have nothing by great reviews for this place, the food is fantastic and freshly prepared. The staff are delightful and go above and beyond to ensure you have a pleasant experience . The decoration is amazing. The hygiene og yhe place is excellent. Without a doubt this is such a perfect restaurant that I keep finding myself going back time after time, highly recommend you visit and you won’t be...
