About Alaturka Westgate

A Traditional Turkish Restaurant & Meze Bar

Alaturka Westgate Description

Mehmet Dari's love and understanding of the importance of fresh ingredients and traditional methods of food preparation began at a young age in his mother's kitchen back in his native Turkey.

There he first watched and later helped his mother prepare dough freshly each day to bake the family's bread. On a farm growing onions, tomatoes and peppers, the significance of using fresh ingredients were ingrained from the very beginning and have stood him in good stead now, many years later and many miles from his first home, as he finds himself running a chain of successful and popular restaurants in east Kent.

Belly dancing at our Northgate restaurant in Canterbury tomorrow night book your table while they still have tables available!

Two our lovely hard working waitresses have finished university with success and hard work. These two hard working young ladies good luck with your future you will be missed.

User

News flash! We have an opening date for our RAMSGATE RESTAURANT, but also another drawback which we hope you might help with. Yes, it's a long way since our planned timeframe in June-July but due to unforeseen circumstances and our desire to make this a success we were forced to delay this until September.
***** 3RD of September OPENING DATE*****
... PLEASE READ FURTHER!
As many of you already know we placed a number of flower planters on the pavement in front of the restaurant to improve the landscape, create a good atmosphere and mark the outside seating area. Unfortunately Kent County Council through Kent Highways has ASKED US TO REMOVE THEM!
We're now asking you our beloved customers to get involved and WRITE to KCC and ask them kindly to allow us to leave the planters where they are as we think they improve the landscape of the area.
If you like our planters and would take 5 minutes to write to KCC please do and we will be most grateful to you!
https://m.facebook.com/KentCountyCouncil/ https://twitter.com/kent_cc http://www.kent.gov.uk/about-the-council/ contact-us
We would like to thank each and every one of you for the kind support you have shown for us! We are so grateful for such a wonderful following and interest!
We had lots of ups and downs and small issues that take time to be sorted while opening this restaurant but we're confident it will be a success!

Had an awesome meal here on Saturday night with a super group of girlies. Wonderful food,staff and atmosphere x

Had a meal here last night, and sat out in the garden. Fabulous ambience and great food. The service was very good and they were very accommodating when we wanted to have a longer break until the main course. There was a very large group there last night as well but we didn't feel at all neglected. I am a Canterbury resident and will choose to go here again the next time we are out. Couldn't believe how busy they were on a Tuesday night.

Booked a table for six last night, we were seated in the new extension at the back, which is beautiful. We had the Ala Turka got meze, which were amazing, two was more than enough food for the 6 of us. Various different drinks and desserts were consumed. We couldn't fault the food, the staff were helpful and very friendly. All round excellent.

User

Been to the Herne Bay restaurant and really enjoyed the meal, Canterbury being nearer to us we tried it, delicious food, friendly helpful staff and relaxed atmosphere, bonus weather was good so ate in the garden. Definitely recommend

User

As visitors to Canterbury we looked up top restaurants in TripAdvisor and ALaTurka came in the top 10 out of more than 250. Turkish food is high up (if not top) of our favourites list so we made a booking and we were not disappointed. Excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend.

Another amazing meal and fantastic service

Disappointing...

Second time when I am using delivero to order from a la Turka . The first time my fish was perfect and nice but this time the food was disappointing

.. I ordered two portions of calamari with one of them had inside just 5 burned pieces of calari (for 6 pounds ) also no garlic sauce been sent with them ... Be more careful when you prepare your orders...
