Another great restaurant by Cedar and Lee. We've been here twice in the past month after making the good decision to come here for a birthday celebration. The food is a bit pricey, but honestly, I don't mind - compared to times I've spent money on food that isn't worth it, this is far better!The staff are friendly and helpful - Ishmael was our first waiter and had great recommendations (can't remember our second guy, but he was great, too!). We've had the moussaka, filet mignon kebabs, an assortment of hot and cold appetizers, and some great desserts. The entree's are generously portioned, cooked perfectly medium rare, and not overwhelmingly seasoned. The feta and olive appetizer is probably our favorite app - so fresh! I also recommend their sangria - they mentioned they soak the fruit in the wine, and it's so good!This place is a must-visit for great food, ambiance, and apps. Can't recommend enough!
The atmosphere was great and the food was okay unfortunately, their menu doesn't quite match what you get served. I was served the shrimp saute, despite ordering the shrimp shish kebab (our receipt listed the shish kebab as well). The waiter then attempted to gaslight me into believing they serve the shish kebab completely different from the menu's description. Don't expect any vegetable slaw if you order the shish kebab.

Ordered Lamb Kabob and Lamb Chops; ordered them medium-rare - specifically told the waiter "with a pink center" - they arrived well-done. Lentil soup was good.

So far it's one of my favourite restaurant in Cleveland. They did not loose any quality since COVID like other restaurants. The food choices are very good for several styles of eaters. Service is terrific, old fashion servers. Been from Mexico City ( one of BEST International BEST Cuisine), growing up with great cooks and fabulous restaurants, its hard to go out in Cleveland, and find fabulous food. It does not matter what nationality the food is ( there is only GOOD or BAD). This restaurant , I recommend very much. Their humus is one of best I have had in Cleveland, and the pita bread excellent.

Authentic Turkish food very well done! All foods ordered were savory with abundant portions for sharing or big appetites. Shepard salad and hummus highly recommended. The Doner was freshly prepared with the correct moistness complimented by the perfectly done rice. Stuffed eggplant was very flavorful. Turkish coffee was amazing. Service was very professional. Side note the cacık (Tzatziki) sauce and hot sauce were excellent!

Anatolia is a staple in Cleveland Heights that has consistently provided excellent Turkish cuisine and attentive service in a great environment. Worth going!

This place shouldn't be supported by non-white patrons. I walked in stood at the counter to inquire on the "hiring" sign. Not one person spoke to me. Although, I spoke to two staff members. The weird lady with a dirty hijab laughed at me said she had no positions "for me". Denying the right to apply is illegal. Considering your citizenship status, these bias behaviors will betray you as well.

Always amazing, great, food . You can tell it's a family run business. Food is really good and the pita bread is amazing. We get the baklava everyone and it's flaky and sweet, but not overly syrupy. They serve it warm, add a cup of coffee and it's heaven.

Authentic, delicious appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Nice service. Quiet = easy to talk with friends. You won't be disappointed!
Wow, what a delight! We enjoyed everything we ate. The Iskander was definitely the star of the show! We also ordered a mezze platter, which had all the typical sauces. Lastly, we got the liver cubes, and my friend ate them very quickly they were so good. Would recommend!

Iskender kebab cannot be eaten without melted butter and when I asked them for butter they did not bring.I don't understand why they turned down a simple request.it was not a good hospitality at all.
