If fresh authentic Mediterranean food is what you want, you must dine here. A gem! We discovered the restaurant while visiting Williamsburg and have been back twice. They serve a Sevan salad that can be paired with a steamed salmon - it is worth the trip! The salmon is tender, succulent, fresh, generously portioned and very nicely seasoned so as not to overpower the fish. Every item served in this restaurant is fresh and flavorful and HEALTHY. Even the pistachio baklava is consciously prepared with less sugar. You will not be disappointed if healthy Mediterranean dining is your desire. Lovely place, lovely family.

Food was tasty and plentiful. Wine selection included some unusual vineyard locations which were a delicious change of pace. Turkish coffee was a yummy finish to the meal. This is a hidden gem in Newtown of Williamsburg. If you like Mediterraneo food and pleasant atmosphere, give Anatolia a try. I know we will be back.

Wonderful family run restaurant. Food was fresh and flavorful. Our waitress was warm and knowledgable. Can't wait to return

Locally owned and operated, a quintillion "Mom and Pop" place that embraces a local charm. The couple running the restaurant were very pleasant and sociable, the food was very good and the ambiance was enjoyable. Flavors were authentic, although the shawarma was a tad overdone and the chicken was dry. My lamb shank was very good, but could have used a touch more seasoning. Prices were not cheap, but appropriate for the entrees (although I thought the appetizers were a bit pricy!). All in all, an enjoyable dinner.

Anatolia is always a fun evening. Bea takes care of you. Never hurried. A great way to spend the evening. One of our favorites in

We stopped by on Christmas eve. We were very impressed with the service, ambience and delicious food. This is a must visit restaurant in Williamsburg VA.
Lynn
Excellent experience in every respect. Very nice wine list, a representatives set of Turkish dishes very well prepared, and excellent service. The owner was very much engaged. It is white tablecloth but not overly formal. Reasonable prices for the quality. We'll be back.

Beautiful, delicious food and wonderful team. 40-50 seat restaurant, very intimate and you can feel the love the family has for their guests and doing what they do. Husband & I had our anniversary dinner here and wouldn’t change a thing!

Service was wonderful and food was fantastic. We had a fabulous dinner and will return. One of our guests has celiac and a dairy allergy. Bee, the owner, understood and made adjustments to the menu to accommodate him - a special evening!
Vegetarian options: Roasted Leeks were amazing.
Dietary restrictions: One of our guests has celiac and a dairy allergy. The restaurant made adjustments to accommodate his dietary needs.
The food was divine, the ambience sublime, and the traditional Turkish tea and coffee was truly a treat! I will be back!!

The food is very tasty. Not much of a vegetarian selection, but their zucchini pancakes are delicious. Inside is cozy enough. I haven't sat outside, but they do have outside seating. The family that owns it is very personable. They make you feel like part of the family as soon as you sit down. They also sell the cutest and most fragrant candles. I suppose a friend of the family makes them. I'll definitely go back.
Excellent food and everything was fresh. All of the staff was very friendly. You did not feel “stuffed” like you do at so many American restaurants. My only suggestion would be to have a belly dancer a few nights per week.
Vegetarian options: Staff is willing to work with your food preferences.

While two of the meals we wanted weren't available sadly, we will definitely go back because what we did order was outstanding! Service was excellent as was the food, wine was good. Glad we found this spot and look forward to going back.
