    We loved our evening at Anatolian Kitchen. Several members of our party had the chicken shish kebab and one had the lamb shish kebab. Excellent! The staff was also very attentive.

    While the appetizers were excellent (falafel plate and mix appetizer platter including muhammara), the main entrees were okay- my husband’s kebab plate came with COLD vegetables! We wanted to try the kunefe but were told it would take 30-40 minutes to prepare!

    The service was impeccable. The host was truly very impressive and his interactions with our table were superb. He made good recommendations and every dish we ordered - the taste was authentic. Our bottle of Pinot Noir had the right notes. A gem of a place and you cannot go wrong by dining at this place

    I love this place. The food is delicious. Turkish food isn't well known here in the US. Think of it as Greek with awesome spices. A lot of the food is roasted. The spices are mostly about flavor, with a pleasant level of heat. Try the mixed grill plate to get a good sampling of the meats they serve. Their vegitables (particularly the eggplant) are a wonder too.
