"We returned to Anatolia after many months. We had a wonderful evening. Our server was good and the food was delicious. The only hitch in our experience was that we were kept waiting a very long time for our meal. Finally our server came over to tell us that the gyro machine was broken and they had been trying to fix it for the last 20 minutes. He asked our friend to choose another entree. We wondered why he had not done this many minutes ago. As we were in no hurry and did no mind having longer to visit, we were fine."

"My wife and I are regulars here. We always bring other couples with us and we know that they then return again and again. You know when you are so sure of someone liking a place that you recommend? That is Anataolia.
Everything from the appetizer, main courses, whether it's a grilled dish, stew, salad or anything else on their expansive menu are delicious. The service is all top notch, great atmosphere, and if the weather is nice, might want to dine outdoors in their atrium. Save room for wonderful Baklavah and rice pudding."

"I was pleased to find a Mediterrean restaurant in the Boca area. The ambiance is pleasant, no blaring music, spacious enough but cozy. I have taken a number of friends and family since discovering Anatolia, and all have loved the experience- whether heavy meat- eaters or vegetarians. One could make a feast of the hot or cold appetizers alone. I have enjoyed the soups, chicken, lamb and fish. The service is unusually pleasant and friendly. The Turkish tea is the best. This restaurant is a wonderful option for last minute plans, but even better- they take reservations. In my opinion Anatolia provides a much needed dining option in the Boca area."

"We frequent this restaurant quite often. Has been normally a good experience. In our last visit, we did not get the table we had requested. Also, the service was below par, either they were low on resources, or we were neglected. Food was good, not excellent, meat was not as tender as it used to previously."

"Always liked going and have dined there many times. Unfortunately this experience was nothing like the past. Service was poor and food was not as good (dry meat, cold soup). Did it change hands? I didn't see most of the usual staff and unfortunately it was disappointing. Had to ask to find out if there were specials - in a hurry to just take our order. Asked for an explanation of something and seemed like they really didn't want to bother. Sorry - it was a prior favorite."

"Enjoyed our dinner atAnatolia Mediterranean Cuisine. They have a nice menu specializing in Turkish cuisine. You must try their mezes (appetizers). I tried iskender Kebab while my wife tried Lahmacun which is like pizza with chopped meat and we both enjoyed our food. We shared a Kunefe for dessert with Turkish coffee. We will definitely go back."

One suggestion- there were so many additional charges on the menu- more bread, different vegetables,
feta cheese, as mentioned. Just charge a little more, and don't nickel and dime the customers.
