I may have waited a bit longer but it felt like every dish was prepared with love the way this type of cuisine should be prepared and served. The kabobs, rice and more were bursting with flavor and the owners made us feel at home. Turkish flair and home cooking makes for a great stop for eats in Orleans.

TLDR: Delicious food at this new Turkish restaurant in Orleans. A bit pricey but worth the splurge…read more I was looking for a place to get food for my family for Good Friday and decided to try Turkish Anatolia Restaurant since we love trying new restaurants and my parents haven't had much Turkish food. My dad loves variety, so I got the Mix Kebab Meal for 4 ($109.99) which comes with chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, chicken breast kebab, beef steak kebab, chicken wings, 2 different types of ground red meat kebabs, salad, bread, and your choice of rice or bulgur (and I requested half and half). I added 2 orders of the Sigari Boregi ($7.49) as well. I called in my order and it was ready for pickup in 30 minutes. Service was quick and efficient. The food was a hit. As expected, my dad loved the variety. My brother and sister-in-law enjoyed it too. We were 6 adults and it was plenty of food. We even had some leftovers. All the meats were delicious. Very flavourful and moist and tender. The rice was plain white rice, but the texture was great. Soft and fluffy. The bulgur was also soft and fluffy. The meats also came with grilled tomatoes and grilled jalapeno peppers. The peppers were really spicy. There were also 2 small containers of a creamy garlicky sauce, which was also good. The salad was excellent. In addition to lettuce, there were red onions, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese. It came with 2 small containers of creamy salad dressing and a small container of oil. We didn't use the oil, but the dressing was delicious. The Sigari Boregi were rolls of phyllo pastry with salty cheese. They were crispy and tasty, but a bit too salty for my liking. Although we got takeout, they have plenty of seats for dining in. The meal was a bit more than what we usually spend, but it was well worth it. Lots of free parking available in the plaza where the restaurant is located. It's next to the Real Fruit Bubble Tea and is where the King Shawarma used to be (was a Prince Shawarma before that). (53)

We were immediately greeted by our friendly waiter and escorted to a table. The restaurant was…read morealmost empty as we had arrived at 4 p.m. and by 5 p.m. it began slowly filling up. We ordered a plate for two which consisted of paper-thin beef, chicken, burghul (and broken wheat resembling rice), 2 hot peppers that looked like a pickle (beware), and tomato. This could have fed at least one more adult or 2 cute grand kids, but we left them home with their parents. We were given a generous serving of bread with 2 different types of dips, both delicious, like the entire meal. We will definitely return and hope you'll give it a try. You'll love the ambiance and seating arrangements.

Our waitress was fabulous - attentive, without hovering, and able to answer all questions and provide recommendations. We went with the lamb dish and some add ons. Everything was perfectly cooked and displayed with beautiful flavour and colour combinations that flirted with my eyes and tastebuds. Hubs and I agreed this was our best meal out in a long time.

The food was worth the wait though!! We got the small platter which was for 2-3 people. It fed the two of us and we had some leftover to take home as well. The platter includes salad, hummus, garlic sauce, pita, raisin rice and three types of kababs. The rice was so delicious! I'm not sure what spices they used but it was so flavourful. All the meats were really well seasoned and cooked. There was not a single thing we tasted that wasn't good. The place is also really good for bigger groups as they have larger sharing plates as well. Will definitely be back to try more things!

The food came out fast, fresh, hot and in generous portions. I would like to add out of many similar restaurants, I liked the rice. It was cooked properly and well seasoned. I am only taking one star away because the customer service could have been better. Once our tea and food were served, the waiter did not come to ask how we were. The washroom is in the basement and was clean. There is also a prayer room for those who need it.

I got 2 lamb and beef mixed lahmacun ($3.99 each) and a piece of cheese borek ($5.99). The lahmacun pastry was very thin and well dusted with cornmeal, and the meat filling tasted very rich, almost buttery. It was flavourful and I enjoyed it, but it was a tad too rich for me, as I prefer leaner meats. I liked that the pastry was crispy around the edges. The Borek was cold. They offered to heat it up for me, but I decided to take it home and heat it up myself. It was filled with cheese and although delicious, was really oily and greasy. Like excessively so, in my opinion. Service was courteous. They don't have any printed menus posted in the store or available as a takeout menu. You have to go online to see their menu. Free parking in the plaza parking lot.
