This restaurant is probably has the best Mediterranean food in Long Island. The food is very delicious and the customer service they provide is phenomenal. The waitress are very polite. We were served by Valentine and she was super kind and such a sweetheart. I highly recommend it to others.
Foods are so delicious and fast delivery thanks for hard working
I was a guest of a party last Friday. Covid rules were not followed because they allowed us to dance and walk around without wearing a mask all night. Men got served food and 30 minutes later ladies got served food past 9PM. Owner didn t seem concerned guests were waiting so long for food and was giving employees a hard time in front of customers. Wouldn t want to book my party here with poor management.
I visited this place with my friends a few days ago and we love the food. I think it is one of the best Turkish restaurants I have been to. Also the waitress Valentina was fantastic, she was so attentive,friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back soon.
First time ordering from here. It was almost unnoticeable before reno. Looks beautiful! I ordered a Falafel and my husband ordered a lamb dish. Both were delicious. Definitely going back to eat in! Thank you!
We celebrate my birthday party at 12/25/
I like delish food
Literally my favorite Turkish spot on Long Island. The chicken mixed grill with bulgur rice is my absolute fave! I used to live on Kebab Factory in mineola and when I found out they closed, I was crushed. But Anatolia is so much better. The food is incredible and they deliver!
Really nice and quick service. Adana kabap and deserts are great. There is outside sitting. Highly recommended.
Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Hempstead, NY. I was introduced to this place by a friend. The service is unmatched and staff truly cares about your experience. The food is amazing I usually order their mix grill, everything we tasted was pretty good specially the chicken shish... Absolutely the best turkish meal I had in a while.
Love the food, hospitality and the ambiance. Will definitely go again and again there.
Authentic Turkish food with great service and aesthetic. Reasonably priced and very well constructed interior.
Love this place! The food is so fresh and service is great and brilliant value for money. I don t live in Long Island any more but always the first place I eat when I m near.
Great food and a great value. Will definitely return
saw bugs in the bathroom and the food isn t anything special don t recommend
food and service was great . loved their ambiance.
Food is amazing,Chef is amazing, Waiters are amazing. Probably the best Turkish food I have ever tasted in my life and a very nice space to eat. The air is filtered so that you are not breathing in smoke and the walls are 3D printed which makes it even cooler. One thing though, make sure to get lamb not lamb and beef mixed together otherwise you won t get the beautiful natural flavored of the lamb alone, and make sure to rub the green pepper on the lamb if you like spice. Otherwise the food is amazing.
The food is outstanding I ll be back with the wife for sure
I ordered on Mothers Day. I wanted to treat myself to a delicious lamb dinner so i ordered the lamb mixed grill and it was absolutely amazing. I also ordered the baklava which is exceptional. Great flavor and fresh vegetables. I would recommend anatolia a thousand percent.
Incredible service, great atmosphere, authentic and delicious food
Yesterday was the first time we visited this magnificent restaurant. But It is surely not the last. We had a good time with the attentive service, with the finest food and wine and with the friendly cost. We will definitely return there in a short time.
Ordered take out for dinner tonight & the food was incredible. I d say it was the best mediterranean food i ve ever had in the US. Delivery was fast & packing was good. The baklava is literally to die for. Can t wait to order from here again!
I visit this place a lot since I work in the area. I must say their service is always great and they keep the place neat consistently. Rates are reasonable and they serve generous portions.
Good food but you make sure you call one day before so you can get your food in time, at least i order ones a week and everytime delivery comes after 2 h of ordering and they tell you 35-40 min. :( so disappointed with them, and its the last time ordering from you guys.
Came here for a Valentine s Day dinner in which I called prior to make reservations. When I arrived with my wife, we were told they weren t giving the full menu; it was fixed menu of a mixed dip platter for appetizers, soft drinks and tea, mixed meat platter with salad and rice for the main, and a dessert for $100. We agreed and then when seated asked again if we can have the option for a full menu and the waitress said no. We then saw multiple people and couples who arrived after us, who was given the full menu and ordering food of what they chose. My wife politely asked the waitress why were other people allowed to order from the full menu and she replied oh that s for drinks . She clearly lied. Our food came and was cold. Not coming here again.
We met with friends at this place for dinner. we heard about this restaurant from quite a few people. Well, it was a winning. The staff members were extremely nice and we felt excellent. The meal was yummy. We had a great time and we will definitely return to this restaurant. Warmly recommended.
Fantastic food, generous portions, great service, beautiful design&decor. You won't be disappointed if you bring your family and friends. Would definitely recommend anyone.
Great food, very nice staff members, always excellent ambience. They charge reasonable pricing and the food quality is fantastic. Keep it up.
The food was delicious!! well seasoned and perfectly balanced! I had my order delivered and it was fast, even in the middle of a snow fall!!! Will definately order from them again!
Excellent place ... the attention ... and the gastronomic favor of Mediterranean food ... in one place ... highly recommended
I ordered Grilled chicken with rice . Chicken was half cooked and babaganosh appetizer was too salty and smoky. I have to wait 45 minutes for one order.
Loved the ambiance and food of this place. Everything was well prepared and presented.
A hidden gem in the area - very delicious and freshly made food - beautifully decorated inside - service was attentive and friendly as well - definitely will be back!
I like this restaurant! It is cleaned from inside and the food is delicious. I loved the chicken shish and the manti. I would recommend this place.
I Live close by and I am so glad they are still open and serving these delicious food. Excellent service with plenty of parking . Been there few times with friends and family and everyone loved it . I hope they stay open and survive these hardships during the pandemic.
This is the best Turkish food i ve ever eaten in my life. If you like Turkish food or you wanna try something different you d be doing yourself a favor by coming here. Even if you re unaware of the Turkish cuisine you would love this place. give it a try this deserves to be one of the best places on the map for Turkish Food
We came in for late lunch early dinner. Loved the food and had a good experience, this is the first resturant we went to for eat-in , great service, tasty food.
We have enjoyed their food in the past, but this time they handled our order poorly. We ordered off of Seamless at 5:30pm, with a delivery time around 6:10. The driver works directly for the restaurant, so this was not a fault on Seamless.
Around 6:30 we called inquiring about the food, and were told the driver was out for delivery. At 7:20, still no food. We tried calling the restaurant and no one picked up...repeatedly.
Finally the food arrived at 7:40. Of course, it was missing items. We spoke to the driver, who said it would take him 30 minutes to get back to the restaurant to pick up the missing food.
We never saw or heard from him again.
So, two hour wait + cold food + incorrect order = you just lost a repeat customer.
This spot is my favored. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this restaurant I constantly return again and again. The crew is very welcoming and the cuisine they place on your table is so good. I never miss an opportunity to have a decent meal in this place. Highly recommended.
This place sure knows how to treat their clients. Always with a very kind approach. The food is affordably priced, regularly delightful and neat.
The place is great and the food is great!! Definitely recommend it but the manager needs to be a bit more organized and treat the servers with more professionalism, because that makes costumers feel uncomfortable.
Came here with my friends for lunch, for the second time. Amazing staff and delicious food. Totally recommend this place.
Perfect Mediterranean Restaurant Tasty , Delicious Food Very Nice Customer Service
Certainly a place worth visiting, the food is great and well prepared, the pricing is convenient and it is always well organized in here. Fantastic work.
Everything they serve here is amazing! This is in my top 3 Turkish restaurants in New York. If you've never eaten Turkish food before, order this:
-lentil soup
-Shepard's salad
-Anatolia special mix
-Kunefe
The bread there is amazing as well. Waiters were very fast and kind. Their indoor seating is really nice, and they have outdoor seating with heating.
First time ordering from this restaurant I must say the food is really good the bulgar rice is especially delicious so is the yogurt sauce and the lamb kebabs are juicy and tender the only complaint that I have about the lamb kebabs. There really small 4 little sticks would have liked more meat but they were so tasty.
Delicious food, kebabs are not salty too much. ( I don't like salty foods) service exellent. I like their serving style. You have to try iskender kebab and mix grill meats.( unbelievable tastes)
Highly recommended place.
P.S : It's new place everything nice.
Amazing food and friendly staff. Can't recommend it enough.
THE FOOD AND THE SERVICE WAS AMAZING, 10/10, HIGHYL RECOMMEND!!
I told my friends about this place with my highest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The the food there is flavorable and the crew is very friendly and cooperative. Whenever we go to this place we enjoy a pleasant time. highly recommended.
Delicious Turkish food with great presentation. Turkish coffee and baklava was so delicious
La verdas is one of the worst places to work to the employees they offer them $ 12.75 per hour they exploit them working more than 10 hours a day and when it comes time to pay they end up paying $ 9.50 per hour and they still pay by personal check, the truth for me that is an abuse by the restaurant owner
My friend and I went to Anatolia for late lunch. I was extremely disappointed at their service and food. The waitress first of all basically forced to order whatever they provide without any substitutions, she refused to ask the manager. She gave the attitude either you eat as is or we remove whatever you don't want, for example instead of Salad if you just want Rice, you will still get the same portion of Rice and they will not give you salad yet charge you the same price. You do not have choices of any types of sauces with the meal, either you take their yoghurt sauce or they charging you extra for Tahini sauce (which is also brown in color, which is very unusual as Mediterranean use tahini sauce that is light in color and much more liquidy) this tahini was brown and very pastey which wasn't good at all. To make things worst they charged extra for essentially couple tablespoon for this paste they call sauce. The portions are very small for the price, their chicken kebab is alright, but their chicken adana is very bland, tough and dry. Lastly, the waitress service was very lousy as well. I hope they provide the service and food that is more customer catered rather than restaurant profit oriented.
This really a good family restaurant nice clean delicious food specially kabab and desserts and at the end tea we r here on Christmas really enjoyed thanks
I love their decoration and food n the staff everything is wonderful I strongly recommend this location to those who r a fond of clean n attractive environment I love it!!!!
Would certainly recommend trying out this place. Fantastic character, delightful food, great customer service. Kudos.
This place is honestly amazing. The atmosphere really felt cultural in a way with the seat layout. The food really tasted great!! The service was outstanding! I certainly would come back again. The food options here, even desserts, are some that I don t think you can find at many places!
Very good service, the staff was very friendly and was very nice. The food was also very nice,Would 100% recommend.
My son and I each had the iskender.
The layer of meat covered a mountain of pide bread. The food was cold, except for one steamy hot spot on both plates. It could've used more tomato sauce, as it was not in proportion to the pide and meat. Rating on flavor alone, it was 4 and as close as we could get to our favorite meal in Istanbul.
I couldn't overlook the temperature of the food. Also, not until we got home did we realize that we never received our rice, nor the salad.
Great food and Gracious service. Best Baklava anywhere. Great! Now, Even better!
Amazing food with decent portions. Grade A service and a wide-range of choices for all appetites. Second time was just as good as the first time and cannot wait to go back!
Their food is quality food and the service was beyond expectation.
I like this place very much. theres a very nice mood. The kitcen is marvelous. the service is effective and the waiters are courteous. The cost is fair. deeply recommend.
We just ordered take out, the Anatolia special Mix. We picked the order up. The restaurant was newly refurbished and lovely. The outside seating was inviting. Would like to try dining in next time. The food was Delicious, the meat was tender and flavorful. The ;portion was perfect. The pita was warm and fluffy. White sauce yummy!
Supporting local business, i totally recommend and will try again!
We really enjoyed our visit. We all loved the food, the meat was great! Only small thing was the side salad with our meals was random, it had had corn and croutons in it and didn t taste like a regular Turkish/mediterranean salad but other than we loved the place. It had great ambiance, nicely decorated with great food and was spacious enough from guests that we all felt comfortable! Would definitely recommend and seems like a great place to have events/parties.
Delicious, the red lentil soup was excellent. Look forward to ordering from here again.
As the owner says, we are the best. Very tasty, authentic food
Amazing service and food. Beautiful decor and nice seating
Amazing food, beautiful environment. I was there with a large party. They had a saxophonist playing for us, and brought out an excellent complimentary dessert. They were very accommodating of our party's varying dietary needs, letting us know about ingredients and bringing items out on seperate plates as needed.
Everything is made fresh on site,Try any of the dips, the lahmacun, the adana kebab, and the red cabbage, all of them were amazing.
We bought lahmacun but the meat was very salty. I was very disappointed.
In respond to the owner comment that this is not fake profile. Matter of fact we bought a couple of soups other day, there were like water. We called and mentioned the issues. The lady who answered the phone did not even said sorry. She said "ooohhh okay" is this how you train your employees! I can not believe it!!!
Had the chicken souvlaki platter for my birthday with grilled vegetables and delicious rice pilaf. Absolutely wonderful! Would strongly recommend.
I ordered in and this food was most delicious. Came nice and hot and very tasty!! Yum!!
Everyday different chef and different tastes price was unbelievable high for the West Hempstead!!!!
Late delivery, wrong order
We will give you order everyday spend more than 150$ a day !!!!
Today we re order 10,lahmacun it was Absolutely disaster
What s wrong with you guys ????
Before we begin, I give this place 8/10. Now let s start. I called ahead and asked if they did dine in and they responded in the positive. Parked the car in their parking lot, which I have to say is very convenient. Walked in and saw that there were only 5 customers in a relatively large restaurant and thus, walked in. I was seated immediately and ordered Chicken Shish and some hummus with falafels. I also ordered some Turkish tea and they served me some pita bread with butter while I waited. Pita bread was soft and the butter just melted on top of it. While I waited, gotta say that the music was nice. Kept me in the mood to eat lol. The tea was brought very soon with two sugar cubes. It gave a slightly butter aroma, so I quickly added a sugar cube. Took a sip and found it was good tea. The hummus was nice and thick, very tasty and the falafel was a bit different from what I m used to, but it was good nonetheless. The main order came in a big plate, very nice. I looked at it and didn t think I could eat all of it. The chicken was juicy and soft. The rice could have been warmer but the vegetables were fresh and amazing. The salad had some spice on it along with some olive oil. The yogurt sauce that came with it was light and cool. I ordered an extra immediately, the cup was pretty small and I knew I would plow through it. Overall this was a pretty good experience. 7/10. Rice could have used just a bit of spice. Were a bit bland. The chicken more than made up for it though. Still gave it a 4 instead of a 3, rounded up cause they deserve it. Must try. Next time, I will order the Iskender. As I paid the bill and waited for the check, I put the other sugar cube and finished my tea. Good times. Also the waitress was very nice, so 8/10 instead .
Shams out :)
Certainly a place worth stopping over, the food is good and fresh, the pricing is reasonable and it is constantly neat in here. 5 stars.
Service was good. Food wasn t enough and employee didn t tell us that they are short with food. They made us wait 40 minutes and half of my family member s got their food and the other half didn t got their food. I m not going back there again!!!
I just had delicious chefs special called Chicken with Mashroom sauce with vegetables and grilled avocado. Absolutely amazing!
My favorite place
Great food, great staff, great ambiance! Love coming here with friends and family. Here's to many more visits!
They made very delicious food, but they need more help if they want to take plenty orders.
This restaurant is my preferable place. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to this restaurant. Whenever I want to go to a good dinner, this is the place that comes first to my head. best and many types of food and a rich cuisine.courteous team, and nice spirit. Not less important, the cost is affordable. I tell about this restaurant with great pleasure.
Awesome place with delicious food and a good amount of seating.
I ordered the lamb adana kebab for lunch through doordash today and I thought I would have half then save half for dinner. This did not happen...I ate it all in one sitting because it was delicious and I couldn t stop so I get zero stars for self control, lol. Amazing food! I recommend highly.
This is like Soul Food from another country!!! An Experience you'll want again and again...shout out to Valentina and Elena...made it feel very Comfortable...Compliments to the Chef....See You Guys Soon!!!!
i know this place last 25-30 years with all different owners.finaly we found good turkish food-excellent service .i hope they make it.i wish them good luck.
Amazing! Great service, great food that reminded me of my families' cooking. Would totally recommend for anyone trying to get into Turkish food!
Our hostess was sooo sweet and super accommodating. The food was delicious and flavorful. Their dessert, however, are the best.
Always accommodating. Fast service and fresh food always.
Very tasty food and very friendly staff. A bit on the expensive side, though.
There food is delicious; chicken shish kebab platters are my go to; I ve eaten at this place so many times that I ve lost count! Hummus is delicious - and my favourite is the baklava! -
Their platters are filled with salad and chicken; you can choose wether you want brown rice or white rice - majority of the stuff they offer on the menu is customisable to your liking..
Their seating area is top notch and extremely cozy: service is very friendly and professional; they re fairly quick too.
They host parties as well; I had two birthday parties done here; and the service was lovely! Food was fresh as well; every single time. (They offer delivery as well) - you can order from their website too; either for delivery or pick up.
I always recommend people this restaurant; because I m confident that their food quality and taste is delicious and consistent.
Love the restaurant overall - price wise is fairly okay for what they offer; but not cheap by any means; I would give it 2 dollar signs out of 5.
Food was absolutely delicious and excellent sized portions. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it and we WILL be ordering again from there. Amazing
Ordered food at 5:30, it's 8 pm and still not here. Kids starving. What should I do now?? Poor service!
