Second time visiting this wonderful place. Their food is absolutely top notch. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Their hummus is my favorite in Rochester. Staff members were polite, friendly and extremely attentive. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a fresh spot to dine in. read more

Beautiful view. Lovely staff. The lentil soup was to die for. Delicious bread. Tender chicken. Great falafel. You can sit in or out. A pleasure. read more

Reservations are probably a good idea. We stopped in 7PM Monday and they we packed inside. Fortunately they have outside seating and we were able to get seated. Beautiful day outside and the lake is right down the street. Our dinners came out in a timely manner and were delicious. My lamb was tender and well flavored and my wife felt the same about her chicken. The menu had a great variety of selections and the dessert offerings (displayed inside) looked amazing. Looking forward to revisiting Anatolias! Definitely worth a stop! read more

Good food, friendly service, pretty great all around Love the interior A bit on the pricier side read more

Went here on the recommendation of EatLocalNewYork and it was a great find! Great spot right off the Lake, across from Seabreeze. Plenty of parking. Lots of outdoor seating and the decor on the inside is cute too. Servers were all busy, but friendly. Ours mentioned that her mom makes the white sauce (which is fantastic by the way, like a much better version of tzatziki), so maybe the owners daughter? She was great. Food was fantastic. I got the lamb shish grill and wife got the donner grill. Both were fantastic. The lamb was super tender and flavorful. We'll definitely be back. read more

Anatolia Mediterranean Grill - Turkish Near Me - Irondequoit, New York

This is such a cute little place right across from Seabreeze. I cannot believe this is the first time we have tried it. We went here for my husband's birthday with our toddler. Server was friendly and helpful with suggestions on what to get/try. The falafel is amazing! This had to be the best falafel I have ever had. They're not supposed to be dried out? Definitely get the falafel! The main food was good as well. Desserts were to die for. Pistachio everything. We will definitely be coming back to try more dishes and soak up the atmosphere. I am dying to try the Turkish coffee since everything else was amazing. read more

Anatolia Mediterranean Grill - Beef iskender and lamb beyti - Turkish Near Me - Irondequoit, New York

We 3 friends had a great meal here Saturday night. They have their liquor license but we stuck with water, coffee and tea. Beren was friendly & efficient! I had the salmon pasta for dinner. The salmon was cooked perfectly and had crispy skin! The pasta was delicious with the garlic cream sauce. My friend from out of town loved her meal too. They have a lovely dessert case - take a look before you order. I had to slow down on the bread so I would have room for dessert. We jokingly asked for a sampler platter of the baklava and Beren created one for us! They had 6 different kinds of baklava - hazelnut was a new one for me - we passed around the plates and all had a bite of each. They were sooo good! I hope they add the sampler platter to the menu lol. And, of course I will be back - love this place! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Own parking lot across from seabreeze. Front and back entrance, we went in the front and was greeted to be sat down. The decor was inviting and we passed right by the dessert case. Got ice water with lemon order our food and bread with oil was delivered. But the bread was warm soft and cut in little pieces. The oil was mixed with a pomegranate sour but it was sweet. So delicious. I got the lamb sote and the flavor was on point. Lamb mixed with onion pepper tomato and mushroom with cheese on top mixed with a sauce and rice on the side. We will be returning to try the many other items on the menu and a dessert read more

Anatolia Mediterranean Grill - Lamb Sote - Turkish Near Me - Irondequoit, New York

All right, I've only been there once. I only shared two appetizers and two cookies, but I know I'm going back! The falafels were delicious! Different than what I'm used to, but in a good way. The other appetizer was a lentil mixture in a kind of dough. They had many fillings to choose from. I'll try the cheese next time. The lamb dishes sound really inviting. I'm for sure going back to try some lamb. And some chicken. I'll have to go back a few more times to try everything that sounded good to me. Honestly, it's worth a visit. A really cute place, friendly service, and most importantly great food! read more

Great lamb chops. The rice was great, clean table and building, great staff! Everyone go here!

I went here a bit ago and am a little late catching up on reviews. As I recall, the restaurant needs some updating both inside and out but the food and service were great and the views were spectacular. read more

Anatolia Mediterranean Grill - Turkish Near Me - Irondequoit, New York

We went here for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food and service was. This is a family owned and operated business. The mother, fathered and teal daughters work here. They bring you a basket of bread with oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. I had the Lamb Sote plate with a side salad and my wife had the Iskender plate. Both were delicious. For desert we took home Baklava as we were too full to eat it here. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I kept hearing about this place and decided to try out out after work this evening. Amazing!!! The owner was so nice and insisted I wait for my take out and enjoy a free cup of Turkish tea while he prepared my food. The decor is tasteful, upscale, and has a trend feel to it. I liked the vibe! They do not have a liquor license yet; therefore, the owner invites guests to bring in their own favorite bottle(s) of wine to enjoy during their meal...(no cork fees)! The pictures speak for itself, but let me tell you the food was outstanding. By far the BEST STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES I have ever had. Everything there is homemade and fresh. I will definitely be back and love supporting small businesses like this in my neighborhood. I hope anyone reading this gives this place a chance, because you won't regret it. Well worth the trip, and gorgeous sun sets close by at the lake. read more

Our dinner group of 7 had a fabulous time at Anatolia last Wednesday evening for an early dinner. Our waitress was professional, patient and fun throughout the meal. The menu items of special note were the dolma and hummus appetizers served with fresh bread chunks and an oil/ vinaigrette dip. Everyone raved about the lamb mix and the lamb shish kabob. The cheesecake dessert was fresh and smooth and the Turkish tea ( not for the faint of heart ) is always a special treat. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet . Anatolia is a very special place for dinner ! read more

Simply the BEST Mediterranean food I've ever tried. The restaurant itself is so cute and welcoming - made for a perfect Valentine's date with my hubby. We ordered the hummus which was so fresh and tasty! We also shared a pizza with Turkish sausage and pastrami and a plate of Turkish ravioli - both dishes were amazing! And for desert, homemade pistachio cheesecake. The food was so fantastic that we ordered two extra dishes 'to go' for tomorrow's dinner. What are the odds that every single thing we ordered would be so good!? I honestly can't wait to go back - and to introduce friends and family to this great restaurant! read more

I went here for my birthday dinner. It's a warm comfy little restaurant with a great view. The staff are very friendly people. They have the most authentic Turkish tea I've had! I can still taste it, it was so delicious. They immediately served us some delicious bread and olive oil when we were seated. We started out with Hummus and Falafel. The hummus was perfect. The falafel was crisp, perfectly seasoned with the best pickled beets for the side. We got the Lamb Sish and Mixed Pide for entree. So well done. For dessert we Ofcourse got ourselves a Kunafa and some assorted cookies from their decadent selection! Everything was so well made and fulfilling for the belly and heart! A good birthday dinner indeed! read more

Wanted to try something new with my mom. So, we yelped it! Order a LOT of different stuff. Those little cheese wrap things (appetizers) were weird. And the top layer of the baklava was very thick. But besides that, everything was very tasty. It's family style sitting, so beware of having to smile at strangers and squish your stuff into a small place setting. read more

I love everything about your restaurant from the big parking lot to it being a family-run business and the ambiance is beautiful along with the service fantastic food and desserts homemade family businesses are the best top secret can't wait to go there this coming Saturday oh and your bread and dip phenomenal see you Saturday at 1:00 with a group birthday celebration read more

Okay place for Mediterranean. I came here on Saturday around 4:30pm and the restaurant was pretty full. I did not have reservations so got a seat at the bar. So I do recommend you get a reservation. Staffs are friendly. Food took about 20 minutes to be ready. It tasted pretty good, but the amount of food compared to the price isn't much. Overall not too bad of experience. read more

It was take-out so I don't know what it was like inside of the restaurant/what kind of atmosphere it had. However, everything I ordered came promptly and was packaged well with somewhat decent portions given the price. All of it was very tasty. Got the Lentil Kibbeh, Lentil Borek, Feta Cheese Pide w/ Spinach and an egg added, and Kazandibi. The Pide was honestly just okay for me. The crust was very thin and crunchy (which I've heard is more authentic) and not a ton of cheese on top. What irked me a little was the amount of spinach added - for a $2 topping you would expect a bit more substance. The pide did come with the little side salad as it does in-person. The kibbeh & borek came with some pickled vegetables, which were all good. The Kazandibi was my personal fave. They put cinnamon on top and it was so good! Definitely worth going to for an in-person experience rather than take-out because it's obviously more expensive as take-out + hotter in-person but you do get good quality for what you pay for! read more

This restaurant exceeded our expectations at every turn. The service was friendly and helpful. The views of Lake Ontario were gorgeous. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...OMG, THE FOOD! The food was astoundingly good. From the fresh bread with oil and vinegar while we waited to the starters we selected -- Lebni and Sicara Boregi were both fantastic. The Lebni (Yogurt garnished with Dill, Garlic, and Walnut) specifically was one of the best things we've ever eaten. We could not get enough of it! The dressing on the Shephard's salad was also wonderful and the salad contained a lovely mix of uniformly chopped veggies. The Lamb Shish Wrap contained perfectly cooked spiced lamb in a flavorful sauce with crisp veggies. We could not have asked for a nicer lunch outside. Bravo. We will be back! read more

Great food and service and the ambiance was different but fun. The Cesar salad while different was delicious. My son had the chicken soup which had a yummy citrus and savory taste. We shared a mixed lamb plate and the lamb chop and ground lamb was mouth watering. Last we had great Turkish coffee with three different deserts, one was a spongy sweet cake, then pistachio baklava, and amazing cheese cake. We had a great time and meal. read more

Great meal started with the best bread and balsamic around. Our party of four ended chicken shish, gyro pide and lamb bytec Delicious food with terrific presentation. Generous portions. Bad news: we did not have room for dessert. That was a shame because the display of desserts is mouthwatering read more

Called and made a reservation but they got the name wrong. They sat us next to the door although there were other places to sit and every time the door opened we were hit with a chill. We ordered a drink that never arrived and was charged for It. Had a mystery 'custom charge' on the bill $12. Had to ask for napkins multiple times. And lastly, when it was time to pay the check we waited for 15 before I had to go find the server. It was unfortunate because the food was really good. read more

The food is magnificent! We were a group of four and ordered family style. We started out with an appetizer plate of four different spreads. EZME - a spicy chopped mixture of peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and olive oil; LEBNI - a cheese-like yogurt dip mixed with dill and garlic; BABAGANUSH - eggplant, lemon juice, and garlic; HUMUS - garbanzo beans, tahini,, lemon juice and garlic. All four were the best I have ever eaten. They were served and eaten with a still warm bread that was obviously house made. We ordered a an additional side Greek salad which was delicious but unnecessary because the plate came with a couple of small salads. For dinner, we got another combo plate of beef, chicken and lamb prepared in several different ways. Again, an outstanding introduction to first class Mediterranean preparations. Two members of our party ordered dessert and both were outstanding. One was a combination of a honey-soaked pastry filled with clotted cream and the other was chocolate mousse cake. Anatolia's Café is mostly a family affair. The father is the chef, the mother is desert chef, the daughters wait and buss the tables, and we are told that the son handles the books. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. Altogether, I would say this is as good a dining experience as you can find in Rochester. If you are looking for a place to eat, and you like Seabreeze amusement park it is right across the road. In terms of quantity, we took leftovers home from our meal. read more
