This place is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Lehigh Valley. I lived in Southern Turkey for 3 months. One of the things I really miss about the area since coming back to America is the food. As someone who has lived in Turkey, I guarantee you that the food at Anatolian Kitchen is extremely authentic. It has everything from Kebab to hummus, to Boregi, to pistachio baklava. It brought back a lot of nostalgia for me. I definitely recommend The Adana Kebab, it even had the onion parsley salad. It was like I was back in Turkey again, eating kebab by the city square. The restaurant is family run, the place has a clean and warm atmosphere and the service is very friendly. I'll be coming back here every time i'm back in the area, and I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in wanting to try some Middle Eastern or Eastern Mediterranean food. read more

the waitress didn't get my order right and they were incredibly slow. A couple who arrived after us left after standing at the entrance and not being seated or even acknowledged after 10 minutes. The service was so appalling I won't be be going back for dinner although I might consider take out. read more

Fantastic food! Can't wait to come back and try more!! I had the mixed plate appetizer -- all of which were amazing & gyro. Yum!

The best Turkish restaurant in lehigh valley! We love the owners too! Always good dishes! The Adana kebab is so yummy and their appetizers... hmmmmm... yummy!!! And the deserts... I could just sit there and eat, eat and eat!!! read more

Fantastic addition to north Bethlehem restaurants, and a great partner for its neighbor, One Third. The restaurant was quiet, which can be a bad sign, but I was not disappointed. The food was excellent, the service friendly...although a little slow. But given that the lamb meatballs and kebabs were made from scratch this was ok. The doner kebabs are the best I've tasted in the USA and very close to those I've had in Europe ...the meat very well seasoned and tasty. The menu has some good variety and I will definitely be back. Anyone who enjoys trying different food will find good variety here; all served fresh, of high quality and at a good price. With food this good, I expect the restaurant to get the business it deserves. read more

I really enjoy the food here. My family and I come here at least once a week. The food is fresh and always taste good. They get busy sometimes and they don't have a bunch of employees so it can take a while before you get service. They are foreigners so don't expect the usually "happy go lucky" customer service you might get at a regular American dining place. Nevertheless I don't let their attitude ruin my appetite because the food is worth it! Lol! You can BYOB if you want to dine in. Their chicken soap is to die for! Nothing like I've ever tasted before. I love their chicken shish kabob dish it's amazingly seasoned! I'm headed here now! read more

This place makes THE BEST GYROS! I eat 1-2 every week. Tasty homemade bread. Perfectly seasoned meat. Not drenched in white sauce. Hits the spot every time! read more

Anatolian Kitchen - Gyro on a wrap - Turkish Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

We wanted to love this place. Service was absolutely horrible. Hummus was average at best. Just ok all of the way around.

I guess I am a little spoiled living near Philadelphia and having eaten Mediterranean food in Detroit many times so my hope was this would be a great food experience but I found the baba to be pretty bland and very acidic, the humus was ok (more pastry than creamy) and the shepherd's salad was really bland. The Greek salad was basically bland as well and the chicken and lamb kabob meat that I added to it was really nothing special (lacked seasoning and flavor). I am not familiar with this area so I would guess their may be better places to go to for Mediterranean food but I will not be back. read more

This is my absolute favorite (Turkish) restaurant. The food is delicious, well prepared and presented. The salad greens are always fresh. Portion sizes are great. There is something for everyone. The staff are accommodating and pleasant. Be sure to save room for tea and desert. read more

Love this place! The food is exceptionally authentic, fresh and delicious. The appetizer plate is awesome!!! Room for improvement goes to the speed of service and also need to clarify the menu (it's hard to always know what you're getting) I've never had a bad meal here and they have B.Y.O.B. and I believe there is no corkage fee. We've brought and have seen many patrons bring their own bottle and enjoy a fabulous meal! Update 10/2017 I had to remove a star as I find it can be Hit or miss here in that you don't always know what you're ordering. The menu is hard to navigate since it's written primordially in Turkish. The dish I normally get is sometimes not great and I came to find out is not made in the restaurant. On one occasion the kibbeh which is fried was frozen in the middle! The Pide is just gross in my opinion.. it's just a thick flatbread with meat and cheese toppings sort of like an open face calzone. Other than these glitches you're still going to enjoy delicious salads, kabobs and an AMAZING mixed appetizer platter!!! The salad is also Superb!! And yes, we'll still be coming back! read more

Amazing cute little spot for very authentic tasting Turkish food! Try the liver cubes as an appetizer, very delicious

Good food. Terrible service. Waiter never asked how everything was, needed more napkins and never refilled drinks. Won't return

Consistently delicious food, especially gyro sandwiches and chicken kabab. Courteous and kind staff.

Best place for Mediterranean food in the valley by far. If you are questioning whether to go her, do not. It's a great place , awesome food, and great people own and run the restaurant read more

Love their hummus and gyros! Although I keep ordering that every time I go (can't seem to get over these) I've also heard great things about everything else on their menu. The family that owns Anatolian is also one I just love to support--the kind of quality folks you want in your neighborhood. read more

The food here is great while the service is definitely not. I have never had an experience that waitress took away my plate without asking me whether I have finished or not. Our seats are located at bar. I can understand being the only person working at bar can be overwhelming, but still, there are no reason that the waitress can take away our unfinished plates without asking. read more

We have ordered twice now for the family. Everything has been delicious. We've had the chicken kebab, lamb kebab, alexander kebab, hummus, babaganouj, eggplant salad, shepherd's salad, falafel, chicken soup. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. It feels healthy and homemade. read more

One of the best places for Turkish food in Lehigh Valley. I've personally gone there several times. Food is authentic fresh and very pleasant owner. You should try their Ayran (yogurt drink) which is made fresh and very delicious. Lamb was tender and juicy. Their pizzas are unique and savory. Highly recommended. Service can get a bit slow during busy hours as it is a family restaurant and servers are all family members. read more

The Doner is tasty and the service is very good. The food is fresh! The flavors are good as well.

Top-notch food, variety, freshly made. Very clean, friendly staff. Recommend the mixed appetizer plate. Small is perfect for two, large is for more lrople. The mixed grilled meat platter is good and generous. Must have dessert: kunefe. I am NOT one for sweets and this is not that. Rather, has a nice crunch and lovely, gooey cheese. I also recommend the turmish coffee. If you don't like it too sweet, make sure to tell them. BYOB read more

Perfect food. Tastes home made. Seems like it is! I think they are a family cooking your food. Duper fresh ingredients prepared with care. Precocious I would go there for dinner with a big group of wine geeks! You must try the food! read more

Amazing Turkish food. Some of our favorites are the haydari ( yogurt dip) esme ( tomato peppers spicy and so flavorful) any of the kebabs, the sandwiches and the Turkish dumplings. Our son loves the pida's owners are super nice and accommodating. Service can be a little slow at times but it is totally worth it. They are a small restaurant in a strip mall so seating is limited, they do a good bit of takeout though. This is a must try! read more

I've never had a bad meal here and always look forward to dinner here. Portions are good, not too small and not too much. Meat on kebabs is always seasoned very well. Their garlic yogurt sauce is to die for and I love the small salad that accompanies the meal with the pickled onions. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and hungry for Mediterranean food. read more

Very satisfying lunch stop on a drive from New York to Pittsburgh. Fresh, delicious food and polite service. The babaganoush, haydari, lentil soup, and Mediterranean salad were all winners. read more

The food was wonderful. Server was helpful with the questions we had. BYOB is always nice! They were actually out of the dinner option I wanted to try but I had a second option in mind so it was no problem! Priced average compared to other area restaurants with similar menu. My only complaint would be parking was a bit of a pain but very manageable. read more

Excellent food always, sampler, kabobs, soup, gyros, and bread. Everything we had was excellent.

What a great hidden gem. As always the food was excellent, so good that my plate was completely clean when it went back to the kitchen and I did the happy food dance in my chair. I'll be back again, and again, and again. Thanks read more

We love this place and love to bring visitors with us. Their portions are very plentiful, the baklava is divine. I typically get chicken and lamb kebab and have never been disappointed. We share the appetizer plate and it's always more than enough food. The servers were always very attentive and friendly. It's rare to find a restaurant of this quality in what is basically the suburbs, it's an absolute gem. read more

This is great turkish restaurant. Alot of variety. Turkish coffee is strong. Its not spicy.

I was surprised to find this gem near Allentown. I hadn't had Iskenderun Kebab (my favorite) for 3 years since it's surprisingly hard to find! I was not disappointed-- it was a delicious flashback to my time in Istanbul. I also ordered dolmata and they were amazing as well. My only regret was that I got full before I was able to finish it all! The inside was clean and informal. The staff was warm, friendly, and helpful! read more

First time here. Everything was flavorful and fresh. Nice wait staff and very help when asking questions. We had the sampler platter, lentil soup, gyro and falafel and tea. Very cute and quaint inside. Lighting is bit bright but all and all perfection! read more

Excellent choice in the Lehigh Valley for Turkish or Mediterranean food. All the meats are Halal and they made every effort on a busy Thursday night that understand your needs and suggest items that suited our liking. Be sure to try the strong Turkish coffee after the meal, it's well prepared. read more

By far the best Mediterranean restaurant in the Valley. I always go for the mixed grill - it has a wide variety of meats. A little pricey, but well worth it. The customer service is fantastic. They even took my take-out order at closing and waited 20 mins for me to pick it up! read more

Great place! Authentic Turkish food! Come here at least once every other week! You will love the food! My only criticism is the lighting in the place... they keep the lights on so bright that it seems like I'm in a cafeteria... they would transform the place and the dining experience by dimming the lights and putting a candle on each table... awesome food though! Take out if you can't stand the lighting.. read more

This is a great place for middle eastern food! Highly recommend it! Great place to come with your family :) You have to check it out! read more

The chicken and vegetable soup is amazing and so is the chicken kabobs I've ate here a few times and every time is good

I ordered the chicken shish dish. The dish came with chicken shish, two salads, white rice , and some bread. The rice was out of this world, it was buttery and tasted absolutely amazing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. However the chicken seemed to be a bit undercooked. The salads were absolutely delicious and good compliments to the rice. The bread that was given to us in the beginning was fluffy and light and was very yummy. More bread was brought out to us that was different afterwards , it was flat and tasted almost chalky. The waiters were very friendly. Overall, it was a good experience just not the absolute best. read more

Anatolian Kitchen - Chicken shish dish. - Turkish Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

I have been to nearly every Mediterranean restaurant in the Lehigh Valley and this place is tops in it's cuisine class. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Their hummus and other dips are wonderful. The kabobs are juicy and well seasoned. The rice (with chick peas in it) is excellent. The shepherds salad is the best in the Valley. If you like Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, this place is a must try. It's very reasonably priced. Not fancy at all. It's in a small strip mall, so you're not going for the ambiance. I'm now going here at least twice a month for lunch since it's very close to my office. Lunch prices and portions are a total value. Go now! Enjoy! read more

I ate there twice in the past month, both times ending up with some digestive issues. This isn't the first time that I've had Turkish or Mediterranean food, or even the first time in the Lehigh Valley, but the first time having food this bland. Perhaps the owner has lost his Turkish touch. On my first visit, I ordered a falafel sandwich and lentil soup. The cook asked me what sauce I wanted. I asked that he prepare it the way he would for guests. He explained that some people want humus, some want tsiziki sauce, and some want cucumber sauce. I asked again that he prepare it the typical way. When he seemed confused, I explained that I'd like it the way he would prepare it in Turkey, or if customers didn't make a preference. He just seemed confused and gave me humus spread. The falafel did not appear to include any spices -- it could have been prepared at Wegman's. The lentil soup was likewise bland. On my next visit, I ordered stuffed grape leaves and chicken shish kebab. The gape leaves had a bitter taste. The rice was watery, suggesting that they were sitting in cold storage for several days. (Fantastic grape leaves can be had at Elias' Farmers Market across the street for 25 cents each, but I digress.) The shish kebab tasted like the meat was recently reheated, perhaps in the microwave, and lacked any flair. The service is friendly but uninspired as is the cooking. The wind blows through the entire restaurant whenever someone opens a door. If they are hoping to get eat-in traffic, perhaps they should put a barrier up as One Third does. read more
