    Really nice restaurant in the Nork area of Banstead. Staff are friendly and the food was really delicious. We certainly aim to return there again.

    We decided to try Galu for a Sunday lunch, rather than our usual evening visits. We were not disappointed. The service was impeccable. One in our party was vegetarian and they adapted their Sunday lunch for him and even provided a red wine jus for him, instead of gravy. It really good value for money and the home made Yorkshires were amazing!

    We went as a family on a Tuesday which is steak night (half price steak dishes). The steaks were exceptionally good (all four). It was truly superb value. As you would expect with such a discount it was extremely busy, loud, and the staff were run off their feet (so service was a bit hit and miss). Having said that the serving staff were all charming and were clearly doing their best. So if you want exceptional steaks at a great price, are mentally prepared for a very busy, fairly chaotic (and pretty loud) restaurant, then you definitely won’t be disappointed with Steak Night….

    I’m a firm believer in supporting local. And it’s always an enjoyable evening at Galu. I’d highly recommend the scallop starter, it’s a firm favourite

    Galu has been mine and my wife's favourite restaurant for many years and is always our first choice for special occasions. We recently returned to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and once again it reminded us why we love coming here so much. The staff are fantastic, the service is exceptional, and the food is simply outstanding. Every visit feels special, and the consistency in quality is second to none. In our opinion, Galu is the best restaurant in the area by a mile. We couldn't recommend it highly enough and are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you to everyone at Galu for helping make our anniversary so memorable. Leigh & Sophie Matthews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Food was lovely and the staff were very attentive. My step mum was feeling a little under the weather due to the heat, and they continued to check on her to make sure she was ok and to keep her hydrated.

    Great atmosphere, food staff and service. Family run, so always get a personal touch. Great for family occasions, or later bookings for more a social night out with friends. Highly recommend.
