I loved the atmosphere of this place. Trendy but welcoming. It's been here a long time, the excellent food is the reason. I ordered the mediterranean gf entree with mujadra, caramelized onions, hommus, tabbouleh,pickled turnips, and choice of:falafel (baked), and tahini sauce, it was all prepared to perfection. I started out with the lemon lentil soup which was amazing. I had a glass of Pinot Noir and some Malbec, both wines were excellent. Our waitress was super nice and very attentive. The dessert menu looked really fantastic but I was too full to eat any.

Overall, great experience at Anita's! We started off with some apps - all were delicious. The stars were the raw lamb (I forgot what it's called) and the jalapeno hummus. I would come back for these two alone! We also tried the grape leaves with meat which were good but prob wouldn't get again. The tabbouli was pretty standard.Then for entrees, most the table got the lamb gyro was they thought was tasty and filling. I got the mixed plate to try a variety. The chicken was pretty standard. The kefta had a little too much cinnamon and a lil overcooked. The lamb chunks was the standout so I would just go with that next time. Roasted veggies were delish. Pilaf was underwhelming.Service was great though! Oh and dessert! The baklava was not one of my fav renditions but the lemon tart WOW. Get it!!

Anita's Kitchen is one of my favorite healthy lunch spots downtown. I always order ahead using Toast, and my order is consistently prepared exactly how I ask. My go-to is the Chicken Feta Fattoush Salad with onions, a pepperoncini, and extra sauce--it's always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quick, delicious, and healthy meal! If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend their Banana Bread!

Anita's Kitchen is now riding on nostalgia and ambiance. The reviews are overrated. And I get it. I was once a raving fan. After over 10 years and at least 100 visits with family, friends, and business associates, we've decided to let this one go. We had it so bad at one point that we drove from the airport for Anita's Kitchen, but that's behind us now. The food isn't consistent and the cost exceeds the value (from $$ to $$$). When the food is good, it's really good, but when it's off...it's really off. Consistency is not to be expected with the food or the service anymore. Dependability is no more. You can't count on what you're going to get or the disposition of the server who brings it. It's all hit or miss. The menu has changed considerably and major staples that made this place a winner for years, such as the patata, are gone. Also, there is now a "nickel and dime" policy that can leave you feeling robbed. It's standard practice for us to dine out. We don't cook. So we have a firm grip on what various meals should cost. Anita's has gotten stingy. It's a dollar per ounce for basic condiments. And you can now easily rack up a bill for two of over $100 with just soup, sandwiches and raw veggies at lunchtime. To be fair, this would also include lemonade and dessert. But still...over $50 per person for that! We aren't talking steaks, lobster or alcoholic beverages after all. Having traveled extensively and eating all over the world, it is clear to us that Anita's Kitchen is now offering more cost than value these days. $$$

Giving it 5 stars because my food was good.Service was great, staff was nice and polite. The inside was clean and neat. I can only speak on my meal. I don't eat all middle eastern food. But my meal was great.

Smallish establishment place that has a variety of mediterranean food like hummus, baba gannoush, grape leaves, kabobs, and shawarma. I got a sampler platter than had mujadra, caramelized onions, hummus, tabouli, pickled turnips, and cbaked falafel - so as to sample everything. Wow - was everything good - and a lot to eat! I took some home and it reheated great. You, of course, can just get one entree or salad - but I wanted to try a taste of everything. There is a good selection of basic drinks and mixed drinks. Service was pleasant.

Good ol' Anita's! We have ordered/dined in easily over 100 times through the years. A go-to for us, obviously. Dependable, fresh, & healthy food - great for vegetarians. Sit at the bar and enjoy a glass of wine!

I've been coming to Anita's for a few years, and I've noticed that I come here most often to get takeout after a vacation when I want something quick and a little healthier. I've also dined in quite a few times! Their atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is always quick. My usual go-to is the falafel sandwich with a side of pickled veggies for a filling and flavorful meal. I've also recently had the mixed mezza for two, which was great! It had so many different items in it, and was only $40 for two people, which I thought was a great deal. The hummus and garlic dip are also amazing. Regardless of what I get or when I visit, I've never had a bad meal here. My only complaint is that they're not open on Sundays, which is a little inconvenient, but I totally understand that family time is important as well. I'll for sure keep coming back!

I returned with a companion to Anita's recently for a weekday lunch, and we both left happy and full. Be aware that parking can be a challenge here; especially if trying to download and work the app with a credit card.... On this day, the restaurant was just opened and not busy. We were seated in the adjacent, heated space. Know that it can be really (too) warm if you're placed under the heater as we were. We just took off more winter layers though. Paris K was our efficient and knowledgeable server. She offered good meal accompaniment too. Wines by the glass and craft cocktails were interesting and reasonably priced. My companion and i tried a couple and there were all very good. Loved the Lebanese Old Fashion! Anita's serves some of the best tasting Crushed Lentil Soup around. It's thick, slightly lemony and a bit minty. My only wish was that my cup had been served hotter than just lukewarm. The Spinach Pie piece was very good. My companion raved about his seasonal (and recommended by Paris!) Chicken & Black Bean Bowl meal. Tabboulah Salad was a win too! We finished with fresh, hot, decaf coffee and Anita's excellent Rice Pudding with cinnamon and whipped cream. All in all, we will return!

Been an Anita's customer for at least a decade, probably longer. The food has always been incredibly fresh and consistently tasty. Waitstaff is friendly, quick, and knows what they're talking about. Just had dinner with a friend, the server brought us a basket of 3 warm pitas, and when those were finished, she came there with another basket (presumably free) and asked if we'd like more, however we declined because we were nearly full. The portions are very large but not too much to not finish. Stuffed grape leaves and falafel are always a good choice, and the smoothies are delicious. Lamb is my favorite to get here, whether in a gyro or in an entree. The patio is heated and enclosed, perfect during a winter dinner as the sun sets. I will always go back for lunch and dinner, and takeout is just as fresh as eating there. 11/10
