Anatolia Bar & Grill

Anatolia is everything an Armenian/ Turkish cafe should be. It's authentic to the culture from the moment you walk in the door. The service, the ambiance, the flavor. Anatolia has it all. I was transported to another world having small conversations with the table next to us while enjoying the intimate atmosphere. We had the Manti, Zucchini pancakes, Turkish coffee, chocolate baklava, an Armenian semi- sweet wine, and an Armenian beer. All were absolutely amazing. Their flavors blend together well while maintaining each individual integrity. I absolutely can't wait to go back.

We have dines in 3 times and I am waiting on delivery as I write this review. Excellent food consistently prepared.

Anatolias is a Turkish /greek restaurant. It has a lot of potential. I get the feeling that a lot of love and effort went into establishing this place but that has waned. The restaurant was dirty dust bunnies on the wall at eye level, dried food on the window frame, and scotch tape holding a picture in its frame are the things I could see right next to my table. The menu looks exciting but about half of the entrees were not available. I ordered chicken shawarma and hummus both were tasty. The wine was a Greek red and it was delicious. Wait staff was ok, I ordered a side of feta and it was forgotten, but she did check on me. The ambience was good minus the dirt and they have outside seating that looks amazing for summer time. It's a shame this could be an easy 4 star and possibly a 5 with some extra attention to detail.

Just had a delightful dinner. I highly recommend the trio mezzo plate and the lamb chops. Service was excellent.

The menu choices are great. It's family run and their dishes have been made in their family several generations. Everything we had was great & we were a group of five. I highly recommend Anatolia!

The food was wonderful and authentic. My husband is Turkish and they made him feel right at home. You get a lot of food for the value. Everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. I wish I took a picture of the lentil soup before I dug in.

My husband and I came for dinner. It is an attractive place and we were greeted and seated quickly. I ordered the Armenian rose which was ruby red, based on others reviews and it was delicious. My husband got a beer. I got the felafel plate which I thought was expensive at $20, and my husband got a salad, with additions. I believe it was the owner who waited on us, and she was lovely. We shared pistachio baclava for dessert. Good food and drink but be prepared to spend some money!

Service: I made a quick appointment online for 4 the same night. When we arrived there was only one other table present. We were able to place our orders quickly, but there was quite a delay in getting our food after that. They accommodated the arrival of additional party members who came briefly for company and not to dine.Food: I had the mouhammara to start. It had gorgeous deep red and a decent spice, which paired nicely with the sweetness of the carrots. For main courses, we had the lamb shank, saksuka, manti, and the stuffed peppers. The lamb was average in flavor and texture. I think it could have used more seasoning and/or flavor. The same could be said of the other dishes. The eggplant in the saksuka was not mushy. The manti felt like eating Italian raviolis but with a creamier base. The stuffed peppers were fine but came in good portion size.Ambience: It was relatively empty on a Monday night, so it felt intimate with just my dining party. There were a few customers who arrived later who seemed to be regulars and were familiar with the staff. It was a generally comfortable environment. They have nice tableware to elevate the experience.Value: $153.71 for an appetizer, 4 main courses, and a glass of wine. Overall, more than I would have valued the experience. This wouldn't be the first place I recommend others, but if you want to try Armenian, Kurdish, or Turkish cuisine in the area, then this is the place.

The food is good but the restaurant is not very clean. There is cobweb on furniture and on walls/windows. The furniture is dirty and very dusty and the tall black booths are all damaged. I thought restaurants get inspected but apparently not the dining area. However the appearance of the dining area makes you wonder on the cleanliness of the kitchen. The above is very surprising since the exterior looks nice and inviting. This is also disappointing for being in Williamsburg. Although the food is good, we will not be returning.

Right off the bat I have to say the food was delicious. The restaurant was clean and peaceful. That accounts for the two stars. I ordered the overnight lamb shank and was informed it wasn't ready. It turned out that it wasn't put on to cook until 2 PM. Okay, how about the octopus. Sorry, we don't have any. I had the chicken kebobs and my husband had chicken swarma. The server didn't refill our water glasses. We had purchased two vouchers online. The rules on the voucher were clear. One per person and two per table. The check they presented accounted for only voucher. We had it corrected. In addition they charged three percent for using a credit card. There was no notice given either written or verbal. I don't think we'll be going back.
