if you want authentic Turkish food, this is the place. I had the chicken Adana and it was absolutely delicious. The salad that comes with it is very refreshing.  We also had the homemade with humus and very special dip and OMG! It was amazing.

Are you one of the owners? A friend of the family?

I hope they killed all of those roaches since they were actually temporarily closed down by the health department last month due to roaches on premises.

Went there for lunch today with a co-worker. Had a very good experience. $10 bucks bought a lot. The hummus was freaking amazing. The place was clean, quiet and neat. Waitress was nice, but she was the only one. Seems like it would be a nice dinner place. Very nice decor and ambience. I would recommend it. On San Jose just south of St Augustine Rd on the left.

If Anatolia was at the Beach it would be our go-to restaurant. Here's our review (http://bit.ly/Hidl1Q).

The first time we went there were four of us and we all ordered Turkish. A couple of the meals were excellent, two were pretty bland. My wife and I went a few months ago and both ordered Italian. Simply excellent. Definitely a step above in both taste and presentation.

2 months ago I went to Anatolia I the place was full and I had to wait in line, but when I went last Saturday there was only five to six tables, after this inspection news I think bussnies have been really bad and this restaurant is a very nice and high quality restaurant and the food is delicious. When we want to have a good night we always go there. I hope Anatolia's bussnies will be back to normal.

Was there a couple weeks ago. Shame to hear about the issues in the back, but the quality of the food (had manti: Turkish ravioli, spinach börek: like Greek spanikopita, and Turkish coffee) and passion shown by one of the owners who served me give me confidence they are taking the issues exposed seriously. Will be going back soon.

I was read all comment .Had lunch today. This was our first visit and we were very impressed by the food and service. We has the soup of the day, which was lentil soup, and it was perfect: hot and tasty. My wife had a huge greek salad and I tried the 3-course lunch for $9.99. In addition to the soup, I had a wonderful eggplant spread for my bread, and a lamb dish which was outstanding. Portions were large for lunch, so I can just imagine what the the dinner portions must be. Bring a healthy appetite!

Anatolia's friends/family/employees/aquaintances---please stop trolling the thread with positive reviews. We get it: you guys want our business.

I'll go there without the multiple 1-post reviews!
