About
We have just opened in Broadstairs high street and serve a very different style of food, perfect if you fancy a bit of a change to your normal taste. For the couple of days we have been open already, we have had no complants and the plates come back clean and the customers leave very satisfided and full.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well, the food was really good. Tender chicken and lamb. The reason it failed to get 5 stars is the time it took to get an after dinner drink. We wanted two Americano, one with milk. After about 5 minutes we were told they have...no milk! We looked at the menu and went for Mint herbal tea. Five more minutes and “no mint tea”. So, we tried fruit tea. Lemon and ginger. We got ginger and a scraggly slice of lemon. Poor end to what had started well.More

Just super authentic Turkish food, having worked there for a number of years, this was the real thing, the waitress gave me lovely fresh sesame flatbread and olives, the small Koftas I had as a starter were lovely, and the mixed Kebap was just like...Istanbul RecommendedMore

The best freshly cooked and amazing produce on a meal out in some time. We visit today for lunch and have been using cardak since it opened 10 years ago. We had the mixed kebab and wow it was sensational, the meat was so tender...you barely had to chew it. This family owned and run restaurant never fails to delight in quality and service. You must make an effort to visit them for lunch or evening meal when in Broadstairs. Fantastic wine selection too. Thank you guys we'll be back very soon and congratulations on 10 years of wonderful food and service, long may you continue. Jo and AdamMore

I would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone. I live local to broadstairs and this was the first time I ate here on a Thursday evening and I would 100% come again. Our waitress (a young girl) was very accommodating and helpful. The portions...were so loathe that after having one starter I was so full that instead of having a main I just had another starter as my main. The lahmacun is to die for!! As a I am Turkish myself i am very picky about my lahmacun but it was perfect and authentic. 10/10 very impressed.More

Travelled from London arrived late. Wonderful friendly reception from what looks like a family run business. Quick and accurate service. Large starter portions of taramasalata and Houmous. Delicious fresh hot bread and they offered more. Kids (aged 9 and 13) well catered for. Chicken wings...with rice and chicken shish with chips. Adults - good sea bass, mixed grilled kebab and I had lovely chicken Tavuk Sote. Would come again!More

So we have visited Cardak quite a few times and have had some good experiences here. On our visit today we were both disappointed with the quality of the food as it has taken a turn for the worse. The quality of the salad was...poor and the meat was quite flavourless and portions have got smaller. The more disappointing part was that the price of all dishes has gone up by quite a few pounds. I shall not be returning nor would I recommend this place anymore, I would recommend visiting The Minster Meze and Grill if you want better quality food at a better price with better service. On the drive home I couldn’t help but feel like I’d been robbed.More
