In order to pick up our take-out dinner, we had to drive across town on slushy, icy roads; the almost 2' of snowfall over the past few days made it impossible to see the road's lane lines. We were wondering whether the Turkish Delight dinner was going to be worth the trouble. IT WAS DELICIOUS! I absolutely loved my Vegetarian Hunkar Begendi and Meusim Salata!! Our order was ready for us as soon as we arrived. Furthermore, the staff member at the check-out wasn't put out by our wish to go through our order, item by item, to be sure we had everything. Friendly guy! We will be back many times in the future! read more

The meat was really good but the rice was toooo oily and we asked for diet coke refill and they opened a new can for us not letting us know that it is not fountain drinks. People were very professional and nice water color painting on the wall. The food was pricy for its portion. read more

We tried this place last night and we were both very happy! I had the Manti which was very yummy and my partner had the Doner meal that was a small feast and the plate was clean when done eating. They serve wine and seltzer's and maybe beer? We tried a couple of their seltzers, which were very refreshing. Appropriate relaxing music played and the dining area is kept very clean. The Baklava was really good as well! We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

Absolutely love the kofta meal here!!! I have been to Turkey and traveled to the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Qatar, UAE, Oman) and this place matches the local cuisine there. The meat is tender, juicy, large portions, awesome rice and side salad. Highly recommend regardless. read more

Are they open? Under new owners Here's an update. This place is still a 4or5 depending on your mode and who's working. But we found the atmosphere and food much the same as 2 years ago. It is worth a try. Valuable neighborhood asset read more

Amazing! We'll being going back on our next trip to Anchorage. We shared the Meze platter and the Mixed Grill. Both were fantastic! For our Meze Platter we selected the hummus, Mercimekli Kofte, Dolma, Sigara Borek, and Saksuka. We also really enjoyed the lemonade with mint. Seriously the best middle eastern food I've had in years! read more

Great food. Okay service. Packed in a tiny space. If you get food to go you have to ask for utensils and napkins. They also don't fix naans with the felafel plate. read more

We did take out. I enjoyed all the flavors. I am grateful my husband was willing to try. I think eating in is always better. The Naan wasn't the best I've had and was smaller than a corn tortilla, which is different, I've really only had it with Indian food. But I would eat here again. read more

Hey y'all! I am so glad that Turkish Delight opened back up and I've had the chance to eat there. Turkish Delight is a quaint and wonderful experience with very nice staff. Sigara Borek(not pictured) was good, flavors was all over the place. Döner was good, your typical(or better than typical) dish. Hünkar Begendi or Sultan's Delight was pretty good as well. Baklava and Turkish Delights was holy crap good. The homemade mint lemonade was delicious and will definitely get that again. A must try. read more

amazing food and service loved the mixed gill, manta and the Donar supper yummy. I have eaten there many times and the food is always amazing read more

This is definitely an Anchorage hidden gem! Amazing food and friendly service - it is definitely worth a try even if you're not already into Turkish food! I came in for the first time since they COVID and I was ready to eat! I had the hummus which was fantastic and comes with sliced bread, then the kofte which was delicious - juicy, tender and subtly but richly spiced. It came with a small salad and rice. Then I had the muhallebi custard which was fantastic - very thick creamy texture and a subtle cinnamon flavor throughout, along with Turkish coffee. The service was friendly and attentive and I noticed there seemed to be quite a few regulars who the staff knew well also. There are also vegetarian options like the hummus and falafel as an appetizer or sandwich, among others. I also have to give a shout out that even their to go packaging is recyclable - it's the thoughtful details that really make the experience from start to finish. read more

I was with one friend. We were seated at a table in an aisle. Every timethe front door opened wind would hit us pretty hard. We kept our coats on. I know we are in Alaska. It was not a good experience. Food was ok. read more

Love this place. Amazing food. Great service. Lovely atmosphere. And one of few restaurants in this area of town.

I've eaten there 3 times in the last 5 months. It's been great food every time. Would recommend making reservations on the weekend evenings as they always seem very busy. read more

I've been here twice since the change in ownership and the food has been...meh. Last time was a few days ago and I got the doner. The rice was great but the meat was dry and lacked taste. It wasn't bad, just....not as good as it used to be. For the price, middle of the road. read more

Based on all the reviews of this place, I was excited to go here. It does not disappoint. We started with some hummus and pita. I should have taken a picture. But it was so fresh and tasty that it was gone before I even thought to pick up my phone. For our entrees we ordered the Iskender Doner Kebab and the Adana Shish Kebab. The Iskender was this delicious marinated chicken chucks. It was seasoned well and was very, VERY tender. It came with salad and rice. The serving size was enough that my wife had leftovers (which I got to eat for lunch the next day...YAY!) The Shish Kebab was lamb meat with a real zing to it. It was a little more spice than I was prepared for, but very tasty. It also came with salad and rice. I easily could have had leftovers but it was just too good. I ate it all. Just gobbled it up before I knew what happened. Plan on being there for a while. It's a sit and enjoy your food and company kind of place. There was one server attending the entire place. If your one of those people that needs immediate service and and immediate checks, this may not be your cup of tea. They're more likely to fill up your tea or your water or bring you another beer before they bring the check. Relax. Enjoy. Let the food settle. Go for dessert. That's my plan for the next time. read more

They remodeled and redid the menu. Nice ambiance and clean. Food and service were great. I had the falafel. Not sure if they just opened, the open sign and business name sign were not on during the opening hours, but they served us. They have a nice little beer and wine selection. Cute little hidden midtown gem. read more

4.5 stars. Friendly service and tasty Turkish and Mediterranean food after a long travel day left me more than satisfied. My phone needed charging and I had only eaten airline pretzels for 12 hours. The server set me up at the bar next to the kitchen to allow me to charge my phone while eating. I started with an excellent grapefruit flavored beer. For food, I opted for three appetizers, so that I could sample broadly: felafel, which was perfectly cooked and lightly fried, grape leaves that were extra tasty after a squeeze of lemon juice, and baba ghanoush. The baba ghanoush was very flavorful and prepared with different spice profiles than I have had elsewhere. Served with warm pita, it hit the spot. The chef (owner?) checked on me to see if I liked the food - I did - and his place appears to be a local favorite. A bit off the tourist path and well worth the short drive from downtown. read more

I love the food here--my husband and I are always looking forward to takeout from this spot! It's fantastic that they offer gluten and dairy-free options, making it a great choice for everyone. I do miss the cozy vibe of the old place, though. If they could switch to warmer lightbulbs and maybe change up the lampshades, it would make a world of difference. We'd definitely make it our go-to date night spot if it had a more inviting feel. For now, we'll keep enjoying their delicious food from home! read more

Great food and service. I would definitely go again. It's a hidden gem. The inside of the place is really cute and modern and was recently renovated. Everything was so delicious!! I'll be back!!! read more

Kept putting off trying this place and then decided to give it a go. Will definitely be back. Turkish tea, amazing. Baba ghanouj, so good. Falafel, not overly garlic, not dry and crumbly. So taste!! The others that I was with split the lamb and loved it. read more

I lived in Turkey over 12+ years and my review is based on my recent experience at Turkish Delight Restaurant and their food comparison to real Turkish food in Istanbul; Their döner (gyro) is top notch. Their tzatziki (cacik) is "okay". I definitely do NOT recommend their babaganush (patlican ezme) because that is nowhere near the actual Turkish style, they put excessive amount of cumin and salt. Also their desert (muhallebi) is definitely not great and no where near the real Turkish style. They make it very sahlep style (simply too much cinnamon). BUT it is worth the visit to eat their döner (gyro) in Iskender style and drink their authentic Turkish coffee (very strong and delicious). Their ayran (yogurt drink) is excellent and handmade. Their service is fast both take out and dine in. Parking is easy to find. Definitely make a reservation because seating is VERY limited. read more

Definitely, this is one of my go-to places when I have visitors in town or just want to enjoy a nice meal out. This is a small place tucked away in a shopping center in the corner. It has gotten busier these few years, or maybe I just have been going during dinner rush hour recently. Now there is often a wait with a couple parties for dinner. However, it is worth the wait. Super nice staff who are very attentative to your needs. My fav is the doner kebab. My friend had their seasonal dish with cod cooked Meditarranean flavors which was delicious too. Falafel sandwich also looked delicious. I don't think i have had a bad dish here. We often are the last one to leave, and the staff often would let us continue chatting and we will get the hint when they have all finished cleaning and start dimming the lights. I highly recommend this place in Anchorage! read more

Great food and wine list Service is friendly and helpful Nice decor from Turkey So sorry it's closed because the owners went to Turkey to help after the earthquake. Admirable for them to do that but we miss that restaurant very much!! read more

This is a hidden gem. We stopped by for dinner tonight and the food and service was simply outstanding. The dolmas were one of the best we had eaten, all entrees we ordered were delicious and the dessert (kazandibi) was divine. We were visiting Anchorage but if local, this would be our go to spot for dinner. Highly recommend this superb restaurant. read more

Turkish Delight - Kazandibi - Turkish Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Delicious falafel and cheese plate. Can't stop thinking about this place and their amazing cuisine.

The food continues to be exceptional and the dine-in is friendly. I've liked all of the dishes except the falafel which seems undercooked / gummy to me compared to similar restaurants I dined at in Chicago. It's the principle as my theme for this update. I've never questioned the relatively high prices because I feel like they excel in what they do. BUT as a part of that understanding, i do not feel I should be nickel and dimed with $1.00 in "eco boxing" fees on a $55 take home bag of food for two. I have nothing against the use of eco materials but don't make me subsidize it as a separate line item. I'd rather have $2 more in food cost than an unexpected $1 charge on my bill. read more

Turkish Delight serves delicious food with fantastic and thoughtful flavors. This is easily my favorite restaurant in Anchorage. Be careful to check their hours, because they do close mid-day to prepare for their dinner rush. But when you do go, the smell of food cooking will hit you hard in your empty belly. Your mouth will begin salivating immediately. Warning. My husband, son, and I typically each get the red lentil soup with some appetizers to share. But, we've also had the falafel sandwich, and it was truly phenomenal. Crunchy falafel, warm bread with the aroma of being fresh off the grill, clean toppings, and a creamy tahini sauce. I believe we also ordered taziki as a side, and it did cost more, but offered the acidic and tangy balance we needed with the falafel. My only wish is that it came on the sandwich to begin with. The red lentil soup is absolutely a favorite. Creamy, mildly spicy, fantastic flavor, and surprisingly filling. It comes with a piece of warm pita bread. When we last went to Turkish Delight, we chose the carrot yogurt spread, and also the eggplant shakshuka as sides to the soups. OH MY GOSH. the shakshuka was addictive. The flavor reminded me of bbq, but with middle eastern flavors (I need a bottle of that sauce handy at home to lather on ALL of my food for the rest of life as we know it). The carrot yogurt dip was fresh, creamy, crunchy, and I don't even know how to describe how good it was, because I'm not Anthony Bourdain, and no one can be, but yeah, it was good. If you're looking for food that was made with actual brainpower and, well, love, then go here! Turkish Delight is doing some awesome things. I am excited to frequent this place every time we take a trip to Anchorage. read more

Delicious Turkish food. Done right. The Spanakopita is the best I've ever had anywhere ever. The Gyro is fabulous. Meat cut right off the spit and grilled to perfection. Served on a pita with a wonderful salad. I've had other things on the menu. All really good but I keep coming back to that lip smacking Gyro. P.S. I decided to try the Chicken Kabob this evening. It is something on the menu that I hadn't tried yet. The chicken was grilled to perfection. Juicy and well seasoned. Rice and Shepard's salad went with it. This restaurant is a gem. read more
