Visited Anatolian kitchen for a birthday dinner. The place is located on California Ave. It is a cozy place. The food and service is very good. I tried the adana kebab and lamb shish kabab, both were amazing. Certainly looking forward to visiting next time.
Outside table, great service, good food, reasonably priced. Recommend for just friends or a date.
I ordered lamb shish kebab and specified medium rare. Let me tell you it came out perfectly, and so tender. Delicious.
Absolutely amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Everything we ate was delicious and the wait staff was extremely hospitable. We had a great time and highly recommend!
Great portion, service and prices
Disappointing overall and definitely overpaid for one of the worst turkish food experiences in recent memory. Food left A LOT to be desired for someone who is familiar with this cuisine; it is definitely way overpriced for the quality it offers.
The kebob meat was stringy and lacking flavor. It took way too much effort to cut through that meat. The iskandar was honestly horrible. not authentic. The meat was chunky pieces not thinly cut, there was excessive amount of sauce used (I mean excessive), and they didn’t use the right bread for this dish, a shortcut that killed the taste and structure of the food.
Ambience and service was really great, but it doesn’t seem they’re investing in the kitchen - maybe because the average local wouldn’t mind this food?
Great date night spot! Attentive, friendly staff. We loved the Turkish coffee for dessert!
Tasty food!
This restaurant is in desperate need of a new chef. While the service was attentive and the atmosphere was decent, the food completely missed the mark. Dishes arrived cold, undercooked, and lacking in flavor. Even though the staff made an effort to fix the issues—which I appreciated—it still turned out to be one of the worst Turkish food experiences I’ve had. Would not return unless there’s a serious change in the kitchen.
I went with one of my friends for lunch and had grilled salmon. The food was great and the server was so friendly and welcoming. I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to have great food in California Avenue.

Easy neighborhood parking. Friendly greeting. Interesting menu. Tasty, mildly exotic dishes. Will come again.
Anatolian Kitchen sat us at 8:45 on a Thursday evening when most other nearby restaurant kitchens were closed. Service was exceptional, our cocktails, appetizers, and main courses were perfectly prepared and delicious. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.
Casual dining with good service. Traditional Mediterranean food. Excellent appetizers. Attentive service.
We stopped for a late lunch/early dinner. Inside was almost empty-some had opted to eat outside. Service was friendly and prompt. We had red lentil soup and Adana lamb. Lamb portion was large enough to split. Very flavorful. Pistachio baklava. We definitely would return.
My wife and I had a Valentine's Day dinner at Anatolian Kitchen. The ambience, service and quality of food was excellent!
