What a delightful surprise!
We received an invite to Anatolian's Turkish and after reading the only two previous reviews, I have to admit that I was. . . uncertain.
So I was relieved to find myself in a very comfy and family-friendly atmosphere. The servers are very polite and the chef obviously cares about his patrons.
We tried several of the dips/spreads (humus, babaganush, etc.) and they were all very tasty - made even better with the fresh bread. The biggest hit was the eggplant with tomato sauce. It was so fresh and savoury.
I also loved the spicy meatballs, kofte. So crispy on the outside while moist and tender inside. And the flavour was almost indescribable. I really enjoyed the blend of spices.
The spinach and feta pide was huge! and thank goodness it was also very good. I love pide!
Dessert was Kadayif, a sweet shredded wheat dish that I could eat every day for the rest of my life. And the baklava deserved a moment of silence. It was amazing.
All in all - the real deal. I'd go back again and again....
and for dessert - yet again.
