mezze appi
Ewa U.

First time at this homey turkish spot. the ambiance was lovely and the mezze was delicious. the bread was fresh and we even got a free refill after finishing it. looking forward to trying more dishes next time, cheers!

Lahmacun (6/5 - would highly recommend)
Izzie L.

Amazing Turkish cuisine! My partner and I spontaneously sat here for a weekend meal and were pleasantly blown away by the food and service. What we ordered: + Meze Combo [5/5]: A bit overpriced for the portion but the diversity of spreads and dips was worth it IMO. The hummus and ezme were very classically flavored. The dolma, borek, tzatziki, and falafel were out of this world!! The combo comes with multiple slices of bread. + Lahmacun [6/5 - would recommend]: SOOO WORTH. The portion size, flavor, and texture of this is amazing! The veggies and herbs are incredibly fresh. This is my favorite and I would 100% order this again. + Beyti [5/5]: Very impressive dish. The beef/lamb meat in this is pretty tender and a thick cut. The tomatoes add a nice sweetness throughout the dish, and the cheese is super fluffy and light pairing. Yummy! Thanks very much to the service who went above-and-beyond to chase us down a block when I realized I forgot my phone on the table. Anatolian Table is a beautiful restaurant to do some people-watching on Valencia with great Turkish dishes!

I've been wanting to try this place! I finally made it out to dinner and it was great. They serve Turkish food in a cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They don't take reservations but have a paper waitlist at the door. I came on a Saturday at 6pm with a party of 5 and was seated within 5-10min. We ordered the mezze combo, octapodaki, horiakti salad, the lahmacun, and manti! Everything was amazing, we were so stuffed by the end of the meal. The mezze came with a fresh flatbread that went well with the dips. The octapodaki was cooked and seasoned well. It was my first time having lahmacun and it was great with the onions and parsley. We enjoyed the manti as well. Will definitely come back for the great food and service!

Septem IPA pretty good- Greek beer

Lahmacun

Been eyeing this place every time I walk by before finally trying this place with some friends. Everything we tried was delicious -- the lahmacun, the manti, and this other dish with calamari in it (I forget the name). My personal favorite was the manti, so tasty with the mix of yogurt and tomato sauce. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the neighborhood!

A nice turkish restaurant on valencia street with ample seating inside and out. they are open until 11pm and on a friday night, came in and didn't have to wait a long time like other restaurants in the area. glad i got to try out this place!

Jad A.

What a great surprise! This place was great and the food is delicious. We went as a group of 3 for the first time this week. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is vibrant. They have a very large selection of food and everything was delicious. I highly recommend the appetizer plate. Their flatbreads were our favorite!

Moussaka
Sammi Y.

Great local spot! The restaurant is so cute and inviting with all of the lights and plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. It wasn't too busy on a Sunday night, but I've seen it packed on a Friday and Saturday and during lunchtimes as well so there may be a wait. Service is excellent with attention to detail. The staff explains all of the food and constantly checks to see how you're doing and if you need anything. The food is solid - I highly recommend the appetizer platter so you can try everything. There are a lot of options of flatbread so they're good to try. The moussaka has a perfect ratio of vegetables to layers with good flavor. I do think the portions are a bit small to justify the prices.

Sucuklu Pide: dried beef sausage flatbread with eggs $29.
Scott F.

5/5: The Sucuklu Pide is great. Dried beef sauasage on flatbread. With eggs, it's $29.The flatbread is unleavened, so it's not chewy/puffy like pizza dough, so not quite perfect. Great service. Authentic Turkish people on the staff. Was not busy on a Saturday at 4 PM.

Free bread, lamb casserole

A delicious brunch experience in a beautiful setting. I visited on a Saturday afternoon, and the restaurant was pretty empty. There's a lot of seating both inside and outside. The outside tables had heaters for colder weather. My party of five was immediately seated inside, and the interior had plenty of natural light and wall art. The service was speedy and efficient. Since we visited during lunchtime, we could only order from the brunch menu, which was much smaller than the dinner menu but still had delicious options. Most of the dishes here really impressed me. The lahmacun was insanely good, a flatbread topped with minced meat. The warm and savory meat on bread paired well with refreshing toppings, like tomatoes and onions. The lamb casserole was also delicious - the meat was seasoned and cooked incredibly. The sauce from the casserole was amazingly savory - I dipped the free bread provided into the sauce, and it made for the perfect bite. For dessert, the katmer was utter perfection. The dish features a very thin phyllo dough accompanied by plenty of fruit and creamy, sweet kaymak. It was both fresh and rich. The presentation was also stunning. While most dishes were a hit, I was actually shocked by the horiatiki, a $15 salad. This $15 salad was ridiculously small and was probably made using a single tomato and a single cucumber. There were literally fewer than five pieces of feta cheese in this $15 salad - each person in my five person party ate half a cube of feta cheese. I truly don't think anything about this tiny dish would justify a $15 price point. I think there were probably five bites total to this salad. Other than the unfortunate salad sizing, I was super impressed with my brunch here, and the dishes were seasoned to perfection.

My friends and I came here on a week day for dinner and got sat in around 15 mins for a group of 8. Even though we sat outside it was still warm and the waiter still check up on us a lot. The food was amazing! The dishes are great to be shared especially the Cold Mezes and the items From the Oven. The Pides are a must order if you're here but we really love the Kasharli Beyti dish! We came here to celebrate our friend's birthday. Although you cannot make a reservation, I would still recommend this place for dinner with a slightly bigger group.

Mezza combo :)
T M.

Food - 4.5 I had Mezza combo and Turkish tea:) Food was pretty good :) Service - was very good. I walked in and was seated right away:) Ambiance - was beautiful. Very spacious. They got tables outside as well. Bathroom is very clean, too:)

Tabouleh
Fumika T.

We tried to go to Jilli and there was a 3 hour wait. Because I had already drove all the way to SF from South Bay we decided to walk around until then but after an ice cream and an hour and a half later we needed to sit down. We decided to get a small bite at Anatolian table. It might have been more than a small bite. We got the tabbouleh salad with dates and a flatbread. I knew of tabbouleh's only from the Key and Peele skit where they're at the gym and say "holy Tabbouleh," while my friend watched some hot ones video where the celebrity noted the tabbouleh salad would be their last meal. I think this heightened our expectations a bit but it was still pretty good, although I'm not sure it would be either of our last meals. I do like the contrast with the date. We definitely bit off more than we can chew with a double flatbread but the combination of the two was pretty good too. A decent snack to keep us going until 8pm, in a comfy casual vibe.

It can be incredibly difficult to find a venue for a crowd on short notice, but we were able to book a reservation for a party of 16 people just three days before for a Saturday night. ​The menu is beautifully simple, making it excellent for families.

Food was definetely 5/5 - absolutely fantastic! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. We ordered the CHICKEN SHISH TAWOOK PLATE and GRILLED HANGER STEAK.

The portions are big, and there is a huge variety of sides and spices to pair with your dishes. The service was 3/5. Unfortunately, not a single employee had a smile on their face, and it didn't feel very welcoming. It also took a while for our food to arrive, but the restaurant was pretty full, so that was understandable. Beit Rima feels cozy and warm. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and you can park your car in the parking lot across the street. Next time we visit the city, we will definitely be back.

The staff were super attentive, friendly, and helpful. They were willing to accommodate the fact that we were in a bit of a rush and met our requests quickly and efficiently. The interior was curated well, bright, and airy, with views into the kitchen from across the restaurant. We started by ordering delightful, cocktails, and the trio of dips, which were very tasty. When we asked for extra pita bread on the side, the waiter provided us their wood fired flower bread on the house, which proved to be a highlight of the meal. The soft interior of the bread contrasted excellently with the crunchier exterior. I won't forget that bread anytime soon. The dips themselves were excellent, though the muhammara was a stand out. The crispy shrimp appetizer was great, providing an uncomplicated but fun bite which allowed the soft shrimp to work well with the crunchy exterior and sweet sauce. The shish kebab was praised by the birthday girl for its seasoning and consistency. For the main entree, we got the bronzino, which came with sardine rice, mustard, and some delightful greens, which were another standout on the meal. While the price is high for the Bronzino entree given how much fish was served, we did feel that the quality of execution balanced out the price point. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and, believe that it's worth going out for if they are in a different neighborhood and want a delightful Turkish meal.

There was complimentary bread which was insanely good and fluffy and warm plus tahini and an onion tomato sauce I think along with radishes and olives. We are not olive ppl sadly but I tried one and it was pretty okay. The service was great and all the servers were super attentive and accommodating. The Stuffed falafel was so good and huge 1 is enough for 2 people. The mosabaha was very refreshing and so good. The meat combo was good overall and everything was very herbally spiced, I wasn't impressed by the lamb tho but the kebab, hummus, and chicken were great! I haven't had Mousakhan before so not sure how it should taste but to me it was sweet and savory with really well cooked chicken. I honestly felt pretty healthy overall cause I was eating hella veggies and everything tasted so fresh. The kunafa was good we got it crispy and was yummy imo but was a lil oily (I think this is normal tho). Arab food isn't really spicy but it is spiced and very herbal which I felt in the food here, I appreciate that chili sauce is provided for the spice lovers. Overall, would highly recommend. It was about $100ish for everything and they recently increased their prices but tbh the portion sizes are huge and I feel like it is so worth it we had hella leftovers. If we had 4 ppl instead of 2 it would've been perfect portions for everyone.

We've come across and heard about Old Jerusalem before and felt like having middle eastern food…read moretonight, so we took a chance and tried them out. When we arrived at around 7:30 pm, there were tables available. It's a comfortable cafe-like restaurant with mural paintings on the wall. Service was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as the ambiance and waitstaff. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF SHAWERMA ENTREE ~ the beef was overly salted, saffron rice was ok, hummus was really thick, like peanut butter. My guy ordered this and thought it was average. 3/5 LAMB SHISH KEBAB WRAP ~ this was my dish. I ate one half of the wrap and it only held two cubes of lamb meat. The lettuce and tomatoes made the wrap bland. The meat was seasoned, but everything was plain, so it needed more seasoning. Honestly, this was missing flavor! I'll have to add something to it when I eat the rest of this wrap at home. 2.5/5 HALF ROASTED CHICKEN AND RICE ~ Our friend ordered this dish. It needed more sumac. This tasted like plain roasted chicken. Maybe it needs more seasoning while marinating. It wasn't dry, so that's a relief. Rice was ok and it wasn't dry or soggy. 3.5 We've been spoiled and have had better food in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Nothing stood out for any of us. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Sadly, probably won't be back.
