We came by here during our trip to Allentown. No regrets and we loved the ambience, the service was warm & welcoming, and of course the food homely & tasty. We got the kebab platters. Wife got the Turkish meatball with Chicken Adana. I got the Lamb Chops with gyro. Side order of Hummus with Turkish bread. For dessert we got plenty of their Turkish Delights all of them were devoured with their Turkish coffee. PS. I got to say the sweets have something about them that nostalgic and opens up memory cells in your brain you never thought you had lol read more

Stopped here for lunch this eeek upon the recommendation of my chiropractor. Loved the decor, food had some absolute standouts and service was warm and wonderful! Will definitely return. Food that's absolutely a must order include the hummus platter, with extraordinary fresh bread. and the baklava. Both are epic! I had the lunch special, which was lamb kebabs with white rice. Lamb was ok but not remarkably spiced nor that tender. But it was good. The rice was a bit mushy and there was little to no dressing on the salad nor the red cabbage on the dish. Would have loved to have had something more like rice pilaf. Requested some white yogurt dressing on the side and this brought it together. I don't think one can judge a place based on the lunch special so I will definitely be returning to try more of their entrées that they're known for. The place was packed so clearly locals know this is a good place to go! read more

Best Turkish tea and coffee I have since I have been in service. I highly recommend the service is fast and friendly and we were not rushed. I will definitely make this my favorite restaurant to save on my cell. read more

4 stars...Was visiting Easton Pennsylvania and Anatolian kitchen was recommended as a simple restaurant with good Turkish food. The restaurant is open very simple, has a take out area in the front. It's a good size space and there was no wait on a Saturday evening. The service and food was good although it did not compare to other Turkish restaurants in New York. Everyone was polite, service was good, we were not rushed, prices were fair and they did put their own spin on a few dishes. They are great for families and offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are many choices on the menu for all your meal choices. For breakfast you can have eggs, pancakes, Belgian waffles, juices, coffee, teas, potatoes and much more. They offer salads, sandwiches, wraps and you can probably have them make you whatever you want in a variety of combinations. There were three of us and we shared the falafel balls, and the pan fried liver as appetizers. They were good but not the best they had. For entrees we had the baby lamb chops, the mixed grill and the chicken Shish kebab. The mixed grill and chicken shish kebab were very good. The portions were a good size. The lamb chops were just "ok" the quality and flavor were not up to par. I had the bulgar wheat instead of rice and that was excellent. I would recommend them for a nice, relaxed meal. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. It is easily one of my must go to places whenever I am in Bethlehem. My family and I got our food to go this time, which was not as good as eating it fresh at the restaurant, but it still really holds up! We got the Chicken Shish Kabob and Lamb Shish Kabob lunch specials. The meat is all so soft and flavorful. I love lamb and theirs is one that I especially always love to get. Pick was super easy to do. Also parking is easy with a shared lot outside. read more

On our way back, we stopped by this Turkish restaurant for lunch. From the outside, it seems like a huge place. They have an amazing lunch menu and I got the gyro (lamb and beef) platter $13 which comes with rice and green salad. In the rice, they put chickpeas which is a nice cool touch. My wife got the shish kebab platter lunch special for $15. The meat on our plates are moist and soft and definitely not laid in grease. Everything tasted very clean and we cleaned our plates. For dessert, my wife purchased a few Turkish delight and many of them are GF. The customer service at this place is fabulous. Definite recommend and the place is super clean. read more

Love it.. Terrific Turkish and middle eastern cuisine. The service has always been a bit on the slower side but the food makes it worthwhile. It's more of a foodie & hipster place. It is definitely BYOB friendly and they even bring you wine glasses and a corkscrew. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner. We still come here often because of the amazing cuisine. read more

Ordered takeaway from here. My order was ready to pick up when I arrived. Very friendly staff that greeted me as soon as I walked in. Very helpful. Large seating area, pretty decorations! I ordered a small Mediterranean salad with chicken kebab and a lamacun. The salad was beyond fresh and the pickled cabbage was so amazing. Chicken was seasoned perfectly and very juicy. Lamacun was soft and had a ton of flavor. The lemon and small salad on the side went perfectly with it. I love this place, I will be back next time I am in town! read more

Great food! Loads of choices, whether you eat meat or not. A few points to benefit those who care: 1) The food can be salty, but you can ask them to limit salt for some items. 2) Getting the check at the end can be slow. I'm guessing it's a cultural translation issue, but they don't automatically leave the check in the table or rush you out. You have to ask for it, or you will sit for a long time. read more

Good food for the area. The Turkish food is not the best I've had but pretty tasty and decent prices. We found a hair in the rice, but the server was nice enough to replace the whole dish. Nice servers, straightforward and to the point. The atmosphere was like a neighborhood turkish restaurant. Not a destination spot but if you're in the mood for a middle eastern flair read more

My daughter and I went to the Anatolian Kitchen for dinner. The restaurant is very attractive and comfortable. The service was relaxed and friendly. I had veggie Turkish pasta.

I highly recommend this place. read more

This is one of the best meals I have had in years. I will say, a lot of it was nostalgic for me as I used to work at a Mediterranean place a decade ago but I can also say the food tasted very authentic. I had their hummus and their mixed grill plate. I am not sure I have ever had as good of lamb as what this place had. It was SO good. Their hummus was top of the line as well. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone. read more

The atmosphere is familiar, the service is decent, the food is spectacular and abundant, it is a place I will go again

Worst Turkish food I've eaten except for a place taken over by Indians. I don't know who they have cooking in the kitchen but none of this is right. Our meat was incredibly over-salted and the staff didn't offer an exchange. Cucumbers in salad were soft and some herbs were dried instead of fresh. I REALLY belive the salad is more than a day old and past is prime. Sigara Boregi was not just feta and it was in thin filo dough instead of traditional wrapper. They've taken every shortcut and provided low-level service. They didn't check on us and I had to wave them over. Finally, we sat in a booth. You could feel the metal spring/wires through this. For this price, you can get MUCH better fare, service & ambiance. I implore you not to waste your money. Also we went on a Saturday night during Ramadan. I can't believe they couldn't make fresh salads when they knew they'd be busy. read more

Service consistent and the best Mediterranean food in the area! It's always so fresh so tasty!!!

Best resturant I've ever been to, genuinely the most amazing food it's always good and always consistent. It has a good variety on the menu and the best is the steak/chicken kebab with rice and salad Out of every restaurant in the lehigh valley I would recommend this restaurant first. read more

I grabbed the mixed grill plate and the veggie dumplings. The mixed grill came with rice, pita bread abd salad. It was fresh and delicious. The dumplings were covered with yogurt. They were good and I'm glad I tried them. I don't eat a lot of dumplings so I had no expectations. The order same with a small side salad, but I don't know if it was part of grilled meat dish or part of the dumplings dish. The service was quick and professional. Overall, I would come again and try other dishes when I'm in the area. read more

Upon entering, the restaurant has the feel of a cavernous cafeteria. It is open and bare feeling with booths against the far wall. Our first course was babaganoush and it arrived with a fantastic crispy bread. My husband ordered chicken kebab. It arrived with a small salad and bulgur. His chicken was tender and delicious and the salad and bulgur were tasty. I ordered the vegetarian Turkish dumpling with yogurt. Although it was supposed to contain vegetables, it was small pasta pieces, swimming in oil and covered in yogurt. I thought it was awful. The dumpling seemed overcooked and it was all too greasy to even eat.After serving us, our waitress never came over to see how everything was. She sat at a table with some other women and ignored us until she brought the check. We won't be returning. read more

Restaurant space looks very nice after expanding and remodeling. Chicken soup with veg came with bread and was served hot. Lamacun was made in-house and was good sized portion. Brewed tea was good and had slice kadaif with tea. Friend enjoyed herbal tea with milk before lunch. She had lentil soup with bread and falafel sandwich for lunch and baklava for dessert. She liked all of it. 5/26/22 Lamb chops and chicken kebab combo platter with bulgur and salad was very good.. Kadaif for dessert was good. 12/7/2020 Ground lamb & chicken combo platter came with rice and salad. Chicken kebab, rice and salad were good. Babaghanoush was very good. read more

I love Anatolian Kitchen as a lunch spot, and not so much as a dinner spot. For basically the same meals, the jump in price seems very high for what you get. Went several times. For lunch, had had Gyros, their meat pies (there is a $5 one not to be missed), great Lemon / lentil soup, salads and hummus. All reasonably priced. For dinner has the combos, and honestly felt a bit ripped off from the shish kabob / lamb chop combo as well as the Turkish Meatball combo. The Turkish meatball especially was burnt and seemed like a frozen burger which was formed into small patties and charcoaled beyond taste. At $20-$25 a combo, they could throw more rice on the plate to fill it up. We actually left kind of hungry. Staff is very pleasant and they are very respectful and don't bring the check until you ask for it (it's not very clear, but you can end up sitting for 15 minutes waiting for it unless you tell someone). I'll stick to the lunch entrees and tell you to go try them. You'd have to twist my arm to get dinner again. read more

Excellent Turkish cuisine! Some of the best I've had outside of Turkey actually. The meats are tender and salted perfectly. The baklava was out of this world. Can't wait to go back next time we are in the neighborhood. read more

Authentic food...Perfect spice level. Red cabbage salad was amazing... tart and crunchy cabbage, perfect acidity level. Shish kabobs were grilled to perfection with just the right amount of lemon juice. Knafeh was sweet and crispy just how it should be! Definitely will be coming back! read more

Incredible lentil soup. Excellent Döner Kebabs (gyro) and hummus. Reasonable prices. BYOB

The ambiance is very cold. And the booth we sat down in I sunk down into so bad! It must have been a booth from the fifties or something! So I was deduced to feeling like a damn toddler sitting there! lol but no seriously it was bad! The service was cold as well. No smiles. No check-in on the food. Had to ask for takeaway items. We both got gyros but for some reason it took like 25 mins to get them? Which is odd to me considering Johnnys spit them out in two seconds. The gyros were standard. The meat could be cut much thinner. And the tziki needed a zip or kick. The chicken soup with bread was wonderful. The bread was perfect. I think if I ordered here I would just order out next time. The restaurant is lacking warmth and the booths are absolutely horrid read more

Food is delicious. Very well prepared and fresh. Service is professional although the server weren't very friendly... not rude, but not very welcoming either. The decor is updated and very pleasant and comfortable. The food is so delicious that I would overlook the lack of server pleasantries and return in order to taste the chicken shish kebab and the hummus again that I had which was absolutely superb. Totally worth it. read more

The food was outstanding! The staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.

Ambiance: Very warm and inviting, clean, kind staff. Food: We ordered the daily special soup with meatballs. It was DELICIOUS. Then we ordered my usual favorite, Alexander Kebab and Adana Kebab / Lamb Chops. All of it hit the spot. Drinks: Of course I ordered the Ayraan - actually reminded me of Turkey -So good and thirst quenching. The Turkish Tea was also on point. Service: Good service, no complaints. Overall, we had a delicious meal and enjoyed the full experience. We are so used to paying high prices these days, but leaving totally unsatisfied, but here, we left felling like we got exactly what we were hoping for - Quality. read more
