    Food is very good, deserts look amazing but I'm too busy watching my figure to try those. If you're looking for a healthier place for lunch or dinner, this is the place.. Also I believe for what you get the prices are very reasonable. Try the mix grill which comes with chicken Kabob, Lamb Kabob and Lamb Adana... soooo good. My only complaint if there was one is I wish they had a salad option that was more of a Mediterranean style salad. Their Shepard's salad is more of a tomatoes, Onions and dressing mixture while bean salad sounds somewhat the same. A Fatoosh salad would also be welcomed. That aside I love the food here and I suggest you give it a try

    Treated to this establishment by my very dear son-in-law and daughter. At first, I was skeptical, the water glasses were dirty and our waitress not the friendliest. But then my SIL ordered for us & delighted us with the most wonderful meal! We have specific tastes & had special requests with how we wanted our meals prepared. The waitress was patient & the chef very obliging to our requests. Each dish we ordered was perfect! I was especially impressed by all the new flavors my SIL introduced to us. I highly recommend treating yourself to this restaurant! Makes healthy eating a delight, that’s for sure!

    Food is very very good and a lot of options. One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Cleveland. The service is also great.

    My family and I came here during the summer for the first time and we had loved it. We came back today and it was terrible. The waiter (Ilhan) never came to check on us once, the food was cold, and they charged us $170. My sister was choking at one point and she never had water given. I had to give her my glass. We drove out for two hours and for what? To get the worst service. If you decide to come here, think again. I’ve never been this disappointed before.

    The lamb Adana was delicious, as were the appetizers we tried: liver cubes, cucumber salad, hummus. Great mixed drinks from the bar too

    Honestly this is Turkish food done right, just like homemade! Sitting outdoors when the weather is nice just makes it all even better. Service is excellent and the food is fresh and flavorful like it should be. Go out of your comfort zone and try the fried liver, it’s one of my faves (and even my husband who doesn’t eat liver liked it). You can’t go wrong with anything you order here!

    Unfortunately the service was terrible tonight. The food came after 1.30 hours and the food was cold and tasteless! Had to ask for bread 5 times. And each time they brought a loaf of bread for 11 people!

    We stopped in last minute to grab a glass of wine and a quick snack. Nice atmosphere and would have loved to order more from the menu however our visit was brief I ordered Shepherd Salad with feta cheese. It had lots of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers & peppers dressed with a bright tasting olive oil vinaigrette dressing. I would definitely return and order more off their dinner menu

    Appetizers and lamb dish were great. Folks waiting on us friendly and efficient. Baklava was also top notch. The red wine we chose, a Spanish Red was perfect. So we were happy folks with happy taste buds.

    We have been going to the Anatolia Cafe on and off for ten years. Normally there is stellar service and great food. This last time, we had to go and find a server to take our order. Once they came to our table, we were informed that the wait was due to a shift change in the kitchen. It was 5 pm. on a Friday, and we were one of two parties in the dining room. Our server had enough time to greet (and hug) the other party while they walked past us three times. The food was edible but not the feast of proportions we had come to expect. Some bites were overcooked to the point of mushiness while others were still raw. It still has the best atmosphere in the Cedar Lee area, but that is more of an admonition against the other restaurants than a compliment of the Cafe. Bonus - there is free parking on the street so we didn't have to pay for the valet.

    Delicious 😋 spot. A little bit pricey $ but okay. Authentic food. I had the special, vegetable Mousakka, excellent.

  • 5/5 Hannah S. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was out of this world. My husband got the filet mignon & I had the lamb adana. We shared the baklava, and it was by far the best baklava I have ever had! I will definitely be back here, plus our server was super nice!

  • 5/5 Varvara B. 8 months ago on Google
    Loved the place. I had Adana kebab, cucumber yogurt, and rice pudding. The food is incredible! The portions are big, I had a leftover for lunch today. Loved everything there from food to service. Sorry we spilled coke all over the floor! 🙈 You guys were so nice about that!

    I like the food there & the desserts I’ve eaten there several times. They’ve got the best Turkish food. My favorite is Iskandar Kabab.

    My white bean salad was decent. The Hummus was kind of Is plain. I forget what those things are called that are made of chickpeas in the picture but they were just bla didn't really care for them. The beer suggestion was good. They don't have a lunch menu, prices high for what you get.

    Nice restaurant with excellent food. Service was also excellent and gracious. I had the stuffed cabbage (3) which was a large serving. Came with a large dollop of yogurt. A bit pricey but if you are looking for something different and classy try Anatolia.

    Been coming here for over 10 years and always the best food and fresh always! Best hummus and a side of olives!!

  • 4/5 Cindy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the patio and service was great. Food was just ok but unfairly we compared to another Turkish restaurant @ Istanbul in Westlake. Portions smaller and somewhat bland. Mushrooms missing from my dish which I really looked forward to. We would visit if here in the area again. Worth a vist!

    8/28/21 First time here, came for lunch on a Saturday, not busy at all. The menu is way smaller than I thought for a place like this. We ordered the Eggplant with Red Sauce appetizer, Filet Mignon Shish Kebab, Chicken Shish Kebab and Seafood Sauté (I think that's the name). Everything tasted great. The meat and seafood were cooked to perfection, still tender, not overcooked at all. However, I'm not sure what was up with our server. She appeared to be new to serving?! She did not write down our order and messed up on two items out of everything we ordered which wasn't a lot. 1 app and 3 entrees for 3 of us. First, she gave us the wrong app, no big deal. It didn't take them long to bring the right one since it's a cold appetizer. It wasn't like they had to cook it. But then when our entrees came, she messed up again and gave me a wrong chicken dish instead of what I ordered! She apologized. I waited for my meal while I watched the other people in my group eat their meals. By the time mine finally came, they were almost done with theirs. That was not ideal.
