Here's another well deserved 5 star review to add to the many written about this great, unassuming little place. I've lived close by for the past few years and have always passed by and been slightly curious, but never super compelled to come into this little place set in this strip mall. Well thank god for Yelp, or else I never would have known what a gem this was only 5 minutes from me!
The food here is about as fresh and wholesome as it gets. This is a family run business (members of which who serve you and are all super friendly!!) and they are proud to proclaim in their menu, website and in person about the freshness of their ingredients and how everything is homemade. The salads are incredibly fresh (I love the shepard's salad that comes with several dishes and can be ordered on its own) and simple. The eggplant, hummous, potato and other various dips are standouts and are incredibly delicious. There is such a variety, including a great selection for vegetarians and vegans. The meat dishes are spiced beautifully and the food is very authentically Turkish (my dad's gf who is European and travelled to Turkey many times swears this and LOVES this place). You have to try the strong Turkish coffee here and the desserts are SO GOOD - they are simple you you can really tell how fresh and homemade they are. I love how all of the food here is so simple and healthy and you really can tell this family loves and cares about their culture and its food.
Apparently every month they have a special night that sells out with a special dinner menu and belly dancing that you have to book ahead for - we are dying to go and planning to go next month! Anatolia is now a favourite and a real Toronto hidden gem- if you are craving some real Turkish, wholesomely made food or just want to try something different that usual (Etobicokians-come out and try something different and support this business!) you gotta come here! This is a great example of how Yelp leads to the discovery of some real amazingness :)
