    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.

    The service was excellent. The food was really good. The noise level increased as more diners filled tables nearby. Will be going back.

    Beyond excellent service, delicious food, it’s a narrow restaurant and when the door opens you can feel the cold on a cold night. A gem of a place.

    This was our second time and the food was delicious again. The appetizers and desserts are the best! We had the hot appetizers, hummus, eggplant, the salmon, the lamb and kunefe. I highly recommend this high quality Turkish restaurant to anyone. We will be back again soon!

    Anatolian kitchen has truly risen to the occasion at its California Avenue location. The service is warm, friendly yet professional and efficient at the same time. The menu has a wide selection of Turkish dishes and something for everyone. Truly delicious! I left my hat and they called me soon afterwards, I picked up the next day. It’s now a favorite place.
