My boyfriend and I went for dinner for our anniversary this week. I have been to Anatolia a few times and it is always such a great experience. I even went for my birthday last year and it was so good. At this point I always get the lamb Shish kabob and if you like lamb then you can absolutely not go wrong with them. My boyfriend got the Beef Kofta kabobs and they were yummy as well in addition to the stuffed grape leaves. To make things even better parking is super easy with a huge lot right out front that a few different restaurants and stores share. I’ve never had an issue with parking.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Anatolia Turkish Restaurant before! This restaurant is literally my favorite Nashville restaurant. It's been a couple of years since I have been here, but when I dined in today, it was just as amazing as it has always been. I almost always get the Anatolia Sampler Platter, the Lamb Shish Kebab, Rose Hip tea, and Baklava. Of course, I end up taking a lot home with me, but it is still wonderful when I reheat in my air fryer. Sometimes, I will get an additional stuffed grape leave appetizer because the stuffed grape leaves are my favorite out of everything! If you haven't been here, I 1000% recommend dining here.

Best restaurant we've been to in Nashville. The food is beyond excellent. Big portions, awesome taste and everything is so fresh. Lots of vegetarian options. Be sure to try the rosehip tea, grape leaves, hummus, rose jam and desserts. Culinary love 💕

Ordered takeout, ordered roasted lamb and Idk if they were out of it or what but what we received was like some sort of pan seared tough cut of beef. It was objectively bad, edible, but not tasty at all

We went here for New Year's Eve Dinner and it did not disappoint. Service was excellent, food was delicious, ambience was great. I ordered Chicken Stew and enjoyed it, Baklava and Kunefe were on point. Very pleasant experience.

The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was clean and bright. The food was amazing, I've had plenty of middle eastern food and this ranked in in the top 5. I had the mixed grill plate, 2 others had the lamb shiskabob and one had the biller kabob. This is definitely go back to place.

A very pleasant and upscale Turkish restaurant....great appetizer, main dish of sea bass and shoulder of lamb. Staff patient and polite...very nice inside. Try them when in nashville area...

One of the best Turkish restaurants that I ever ate at is in a strip mall in Nashville. Everything tasted very good, so also the Turkish Red wine🍷. I would recommend trying this place.

Food - The lamb chops are my absolute favorite thing to eat here. It's always perfectly made. I had the sampler platter as well - personally was not a fan of the grape leaves because I didn't know it was going to be cold but everything else on the platter was good especially the humus. They have this Turkish soda that tastes like a tropical sprite and the Turkish red wine is a must. Service - The servers were excellent! Everyone was so nice. They really wanted us to have a good meal. Ambiance - This establishment gives off very relaxed, intimate vibes. It's dim lit and perfect for date night. I love how it's not too loud in there as well.

Food: 4/5. Service: 4/5. Ambiance: 4/5. We stopped here as it was nearby and we wanted to eat middle eastern. We were not disappointed. The service was good and they kept bringing out fresh bread for us. We had stuffed grape leaves and filo dough fried and stuffed with cheese. Both yummy. Then for an entree we had adana kabob (my favorite) and iskender kabob (also very good). Definitely will be returning to try the rest of the menu out.

Food was Good. I went during dinner and was a little busy. I ordered the lamb shish kabob and the hummus. The Lamb was great! The Turkish tea was served in these neat tea cups. Only downside is that it was busy.

Zilan made our visit the BEST BEST BEST ever!!!! My girlfriends Pearl and Beckah and I came here on a whim after our foot experience at the spa. I mean I had no idea what a joyous experience we would have. We came in super late but they made us feel welcomed from the moment we set foot inside..:::the ambiance was on point.... I felt the Turkey feels. The sampler plate was so full and rich with flavor and texture. Great job chef people's. 5 star experience. I'll bring my friends back!!! Zilan. We love you.

Excellent food and service! The wife and I split the Anatolia sampler platter of appetizers and the mixed grill platter. Everything was excellent. Waitress Damla was very helpful helping us with the menu. We will be back here again.

Really delicious and fresh food. Came here on a weekday evening with a friend, restaurant was maybe a quarter full, pretty quiet, a bit dark in terms of lighting. Ordered: - complimentary fresh bread with olive oil, super delicious. Unlimited refills too! - lahmacun ("Turkish pizza" as said on the menu but this is the real name for it): bigger portion than expected, it's actually 2 lahmacuns. Flavorful meat on thin dough, pretty tasty. - manti ("ravioli" as said on the menu but actually dumplings): fewer than expected but still filling, chewy outside and lots of yogurt sauce. Really enjoyed it! - had a bite of my friend's chicken kabob, chicken was dry and not very flavorful, this is why I docked 1 star. - kunefe: freshly made, cheese was oozing, dish was hot when it came out. Really good! Not too sweet which I appreciated. Friendly service, heard the waiter explain to the table next to us about Turkey and food there. Food is on the pricier side but is of good quality!

Had dinner here before and ordered the same dish the Kafta Kabob. What I was served tonight was not a kabob nor was it Kafta that normally is seasoned ground beef and normally juicy and tasty, long and on a stick. What I was served was 4 hamburger patties with a mushroom, a hard carrot and something indistinguishable that were not steamed long enough and was hard to chew. The only thing edible on my plate was the rice. We were a party of 4 and everyone had some issue with their meal. My husband had a mixed grill kabob, that wasn't served as a kabob and the only veggie on it was a cherry tomato. Friends didn't like their meal either. Big disappointment. Will not return.

I came here right before rush hour on a Saturday night. We were seated fast and quickly got served some complimentary bread with spiced olive oil for dipping. The restaurant has a classy look inside, making it a nice date night spot. We ordered falafel for the appetizer, which was lukewarm. It had some suspicious plastic wrap at the corners of the plate, which makes me think it was microwaved. For our entrees, we both ordered lamb chops, which is one of the pricier menu items. It was absolutely worth it. However, I do wish there were side veggies that came with the lamb instead of a plain salad before the dish arrives.

Anatolia is a favorite of mine in Nashville and they consistently serve quality food! This unassuming establishment is located in a strip mall in West Nashville. There is plenty of parking and they do take reservations ahead of time so I highly recommend calling in advance! I came here to celebrate a coworkers birthday and loved every bit of my meal. The servers started us off with a complimentary appetizer of bread and oil. The bread was clearly cooked fresh minutes before serving and was a delight. I ordered the lamb shish kabab which came with a side of veggies and rice. The lamb was juicy and tender. The yogurt sauce on the side was also homemade, which I loved. For desert, I got the kunefe. They make it on the spot so make sure to allow for at least 20 min for them to prepare this. I went ahead and ordered it in the middle of my meal. The kunefe was soft, warm, crunchy, and sweet. It came with four pieces and my party finished every last bite. I had a wonderful time at Anatolia and highly recommend everyone check this place out!

After experiencing Immersive Van Gogh, I was ready for dinner. I did a search and found Anatolia Turkish Restaurant. I love Turkish food. It felt fitting to have dinner at an eatery on my final full day in Nashville. The drive over here was three minutes during rush hour. I parked practically in front of the restaurant, which is located in a plaza. I backed into a spot and headed over to the main door. There have been times where I can't open the front door in my life. It happened twice at two different eateries in Charlotte, NC. Add this restaurant to my list. I'm not exactly weak, but I tugged at the door handle and it didn't budge. A woman opened the door for me on the opposite side. Weird. It's me. I was seated at a nice table, off to the side of the restaurant. I loved the artwork of Istanbul everywhere, which made me miss the city. It was super hot outside. I wanted an unsweetened iced tea. My weakness is Turkish tea. I loved getting Turkish tea at the bazaar in Istanbul. I felt that I needed to relive that joy here. My server was Marianne. She was knowledgeable and helped answer all my questions. I asked whether the Turkish tea was hot. It was. I ordered it because I missed it so much. My favourite Turkish meal is kofta. It was on the menu. I was elated and was done making my mind up. Marianne mixed the dip for my starter bread. Being stateside, the starter bread was half a loaf. It was warm. I loved that the exterior was crusty and inside was soft, just the way it should be. The dip was flavourful. I enjoyed it as I waited for my main meal. The unsweetened ice tea was excellent. The tea was strong and delightfully refreshing. My Turkish tea transported me back to Turkey. It was the real deal, served the traditional way in that iconic glass. It was black tea. It was fragrant and did not have any sugar. I loved it. My kofta dinner came. In a nutshell, it was Turkish authentic food with American portions. The kofta morsels were gigantic. In Istanbul, each one was easily half the size of what I had. The beef was done medium. I would have liked them medium-well or even well. However, each morsel was seasoned well and I loved them. Luckily, I got a skewer of veggies. They balanced the meatfest that I was enduring. The yogurt sauce kept everything light. I loved it. The rice was the perfect portion for me. It was on the smaller side. I was thankful because the kofta was extremely filling. Although I felt stuffed, my favourite Turkish dessert, kunefe, was on the menu. I asked my server how large it was. It was a decent size, but she said that she could pack whatever I couldn't eat in a box. I said yes to it. The kunefe was fabulous. It was authentic, with stretchy cheese. It was crunchy and slightly sweet. I highly recommend getting it, stuffed or not! Marianne packed up my remaining kunefe in a box and provided a plastic bag. She was great. I paid with a credit card. She ran it through and all was great. I thanked her and left with my dessert. I had it as a snack later that evening. So good! More patrons were there when I had left. It was a good sign of a great restaurant. I would return to this eatery for my Turkish food fix in a heartbeat. If you want great food without flying over to Istanbul, come here. The atmosphere is casual, the food is authentic, and staff are great. (354)

As usual we were looking for Mediterranean food in Nashville. We visited Anatolia and the place was so nice and romantic with deemed lights and beautiful wallpapers around. We had a chicken and a beef Shish Kebab dish and some hummus and falafels (not pictured) the food was enough for us to eat a mini meal the next day it was a lot. The price was right and fiar for the amount of food we had and the service was perfectly done! Totally recommend this place if you have never tidied Turkish food, we got lucky discovering this one!

Charming & lively, a dinner at Anatolia could be a great choice for a date or a dinner with friends. My visit was of the latter variety & lasted over 2 hours as we sampled several appetizers such as the hummus & filo cheese pastry. The Turkish white wine was also enjoyed by three of the four at our table (myself included) & was quite good. Heavy pour at $9 a glass. I let the waiter choose my meal for me giving him the options of the homemade ravioli or Iskender kabob. He assured me that the iskender was the better choice & I rolled with that. It was very good & the tomato sauce on the top added a nice acidic quality to the salty thinly sliced meat below it. It's all served on top of a pita as well so you get all that flavor soaked into it when you finished. Rice was tasty as well. Veggies were not impressive though and needed the yogurt sauce to overcome the bland taste that grilled veggies sometimes have (carrot being the better of the options surprisingly though). Id come back to try the lamb chops!

Meh! I have tried this place twice and it's ok. Yesterday I visited and got the lamb stew and it was so under seasoned I just brought it home to season so I could enjoy the dish. The rice that came with the dish was actually more seasoned than the stew. I also would have liked more meat in the dish versus the dish being packed with potatoes to be filling. The staff is very friendly and I will say the desserts are good but that's it to me. I am ok if I never go back quite honestly.

This was my first experience eating Turkish food, and I'm sure it will not be the last! Anatolia has an extensive amount of options on their menu to please everyone! I went recently for a birthday dinner with a large party (about 20 people). They sat us in a back room that fit everyone comfortably and the service was fast. I ordered the Baked Turkish Ravioli which was delicious. If you're not a fan of a yogurt sauce, I wouldn't suggest it, but I liked it. My boyfriend ordered the Mediterranean Pasta and added chicken. I tried a piece of chicken, which came in a kebab, and it was juicy and cooked to perfection. He wasn't a fan of the black olives that was added, and would ask for it to be removed next time. Looking around at everyone else's meals, the food looked great. I heard the soup options were really good. If you're in the Belle Meade area, you should stop by for a visit.

People who love this restaurant have never eaten Turkish food anywhere else. The food is bland at best. I have dined here several times with friends--the atmosphere is pleasant, they have a good wine selection and the food tastes like cardboard. Over the years, I have tried almost everything on the menu and the food is tasteless and Americanized in the worst of ways. It is the opposite of what Turkish food should taste like.

We had a party of 10 on a Wednesday night and were seated right away. The bread is amazing. The food was good! There were a lot of options for wine. I got the Anatolia Eggplant. The description is a bit misleading, because the eggplant wasn't actually stuffed with lamb. Still, it was delicious and it was perfectly portioned. It came with a salad, which was also really good! Others in my party had the Lamb Shish Kabob, Fresh Grilled Salmon, and Vegetarian Sampler. Everyone was very pleased with their food! I would definitely go back!

Yelp
Save yourself the trouble and eat someone else. The food was good, but the experience on a whole was regrettable. I had a more civil exchange at the gas station earlier that day in 2 minutes than I had the entire meal with the waitress tonight. The distain was palpable and it got worse throughout the meal. The food was also undercut by the fact that side work and cleaning was done while we ate like everyone wanted us to leave. And I don't know what to say about the air freshener that made us wonder why we kept smelling shampoo. I was embarrassed that it was my suggestion. Go anywhere else, unless you like being treated like a nuisance. The lady who gave me a menu when I asked was kind, but she as the only one.

Doesn't look like much from the outside and it's in a strip mall! Get past that and walk inside and you will discover a quiet, quaint and delicious authentic Turkish Restaurant that will not disappoint! My food was excellent, my server was great, my wine was perfect and the cost is reasonable. I think their rice is amazing!! My lamb kabobs were cooked to perfection!!

This is our first time in Anatolia, restaurant, the food was so delicious and authentic Turkish . The ambience is amazing, the service was perfect and tentative, April was our server , she was so sweet and kind. It took a little bit of time for the food to come , but it was worth it. All in all, highly recommended, and for sure will be back

By far one the worst Turkish food I ever had!! We gave second chance to the place and it was even worse second time ! Staff don't know about food ! Adana kabob was extremely under cook and almost raw!! Waiter told us it takes 30 min to boil water to make Turkish tea!! Will never go back

We can't stop talking about how good our meal was last night! It was our first time there and it will be the first of many! we had the grape leaves for the appetiser, sea bass with baked cauliflower and green beans. The seasoning was en pointe! And a wonderful dessert that was unusually good too. Dennis was our server and he was great! The atmosphere was very nice. It was a 10/10. Now I understand all the reviews I've read on this restaurant. Evidently their food and service remains consistent. Thank you for a beautiful Valentine's Day dinner!

The service was great. We ordered quite a few dishes and most of them were bland. We went here expectingbthe bold and flavorful Turkish cuisne. In many cases the problem was witb fundamehtal seasoning namely salt. This one thing among others took the dishes from good to average. Went with a lot of people expectation. Not met.

I've honestly never tried Turkish cuisine, but stumbled on this place randomly after leaving sports clips in the same parking lot. It was lunch time so I figured, what the heck. And let me just say the food is delightful and I'll definitely be back. Started with the stuffed great leaves appetizer then dinner into the Iskender kabob. YUMBO. Can strongly recommend if you want something super interesting that's a nice break from the normal burgers, barbecue and sushi.

Thank you, Yelp, for putting an otherwise obscure (to me) restaurant on my radar! The Yelp community was spot on with this one. It sits in an ordinary but nice strip mall. I made a reservation for 11:30 am on a Thursday thinking there wouldn't be many other diners there. And while we would have been seated without a reservation, it was quite busy. Our server recommended anything with lamb, the chicken stew and the lentil soup. We ate every bite. We also enjoyed the baklava. I typically don't venture out to non mainstream ethnic restaurants. But I look forward to sampling more Turkish delicacies at Anatolia!

If ever you hoped to go to a restaurant, enjoy yourself and receive excellent service-- This is in place!!! Exceptional service, delicious food. My favorite experience was their delicious hot apple tea and after finishing it was surprised with a refill. They anticipated our every need and went over the top with service. And... the food was delicious!

Really good flavors, Anatolia eggplant was seasoned well and the rose jam was delicious. The only reason I'm docking a point here instead of rating five stars is because I had ordered delivery a few weeks prior and the food was far inferior delivered and the quantity was about half of what you get in person. So, in person I would give a 4.5 or 5, but delivery I would give a 3/5. Also, be wary of wait times during peak hours. Ordered at 6:15, food didn't arrive until 7:45.

Incredible food, great service and nice atmosphere. Anatolia is a rare bird in the sea of hyped and mediocre eateries here in Nashville. I've enjoyed a meal with just two of us and with a larger table of 12, a few times. Their food is consistently excellent and the service is always thoughtful. I would not hesitate to to return and I would take out of town guests to enjoy their amazing affordable cuisine.

We came here on Christmas Day when there were limited options available in Nashville. For appetizers we shared the baba ghanoush. It wasn't what we expected based on our other experiences with Turkish food in the USA and Turkey. Definitely a disappointment. However, everything else was excellent. I ordered the lamb chops, which were cooked a perfect medium rare and except for needing a bit of salt, they were delicious and plentiful (6 pieces!). My wife ordered their eggplant with lamb and that was outstanding as well. The kebabs were excellent too. Our server was very friendly and honest in directing us to make the right choices, which was appreciated . Although the outdoor seating was a tad depressing (basically in a strip mall parking lot), the overall experience was very good. I highly recommend it!

The atmosphere at Anatolia brought me back to how I would have felt if I grew up a young boy in Turkey. The plentiful pita and filling appetizers left us wondering if we could find room for their wide array of fishes and lamb, but boy are we glad we did. My date's lamb kabobs left her speechless and my buttery sea bass had me asking to meet the chef. I will be back and I will bring friends. While the neighboring Japanese joint is still the best restaurant in the strip mall, I give Anatolia 5 stars.

Wonderful restaurant in a shopping strip next to Trader Joe's. Food was good, service was great and price was fair! Bread service was wonderful, hot fresh! Olive oil dipping sauce was fab. Our part of 5 had fish entrees, beef kabobs and lamb. All very moist and savory. Don't miss the knuffel dessert! Oh my yumness!

Not a bad option.. the only disappointment was the kabobs very very dry and the service was super slow.. the place was not really over crowded for a saturday night.. it almost too an hour tfor the food to arrive when there were only two other tables filled with people.. Hope they make sure the food is served on time..coz kabobs make no sesne if they are not fresh out of grill...the falafel's were very dry as well.. On the other hand the drinks sucked big time.. we ordered an old fashioned and jack&coke.. the old fashioned was way more bitters that i can literally tast in my mouth and the other drink was just coke on the rocks.. Will go there abother time just to make sure if its a bad day we went there or is the service bad..

The food is delish. We were supposed to have a much larger party but with covid and strep throat we dwindled. Once the waitstaff got on board the experience was great. I had the lamb kebabs and I agree that they are fantastic. Love love love this spot!

My family ordered the combination appetizer plate. Everything on it was delicious and cooked to perfection. We ordered dinner. We all enjoyed our main entree and grilled vegetables. The rice was steamed and had no flavor. It was a little overcooked and a little "mushy ". Our service was very good even on a busy night.

We ordered from here for lunch one day when we were in town and it was pretty good. I ordered the fillo dough roll appetizer, hummus, gyro wrap, onion soup and turkish gyros. The fillo dough roll was a no-go. I mean, maybe people like just a roll of fillo dough, but I guess I expected there to be more on the inside. It has a little cheese, but mainly dough. I didn't even finish one. I will say the onion soup was delicious. Not really what I would expect from a Turkish restaurant menu, but it was very good. I also ordered the gyro wrap and it came with a salad. The wrap was a pretty good size and not bad. The meat was a little dry, but I just added some of the salad dressing to the wrap and it was better. The hummus had a good flavor, but was very chunky. I prefer my hummus to be smooth, so I wasn't a fan. My hubby ordered the turkish gyros and he said it was okay. The meat was kinda dry, but he said the flavor was good. Not a fan and since we're not from the area, we won't be coming back. There are so many restaurants in Nashville that it's way too much fun to explore new spots. If you live in the area, I'd say give them a shot. They have a lot of great reviews, so maybe they were just having an off day.

Always wanted to go, and finally we got chance to go. We went in right after they open for lunch time. We were the first one in the restaurant. The seated us in the corner, so we could have very private dining even though we are in the big dining area. Ordered calamari as appetizer, lamb chop, lamb stew, and Kanafeh as dessert. Calamari came pretty immediately. It was fried crispy. Salad came with lamb chop, but not with stew. It was good enough amount to share 2 of us. Lamb chop had 6 pieces. It was very tender and juicy. For the price w 6 lamb chop, we thought it was really good deal. Stew was ok. It was lamb stew but majority was veggies. But it was still tasty and nice. Wish we had visited this restaurant much much earlier. Enjoyed and definitely recommended!!

My couchsurfing host took me here after I told him I wanted to have Egyptian food with him (because he's Egyptian). Although it's not an Egyptian restaurant, it still had Meditterean dishes. The restaurant is more on the upscale side, dimly lit, and beautifully decorated. We ordered the Anatolia Sampler Platter as appetizers and the Mixed Grill Plate. All to share between three (not hungry) people. My favorite from the appetizer plate was the fillo dough rolls with the rose petal jam. What a pleasant and sweet surprise. The blend between the feta cheese and petal jam was perfect. I can probably eat this all day. Definitely my favorite item from the entire trip. The Mixed Grill Plate came with chicken, lamb shish kabob, kofta kabob, and lamb chop. The lamb chomp was delicious. All the meat were packed with flavor (seasoned with perfection) and moist! The rice pilaf was another favorite. Not sure if they added coconut to it, but it had a hint of coconut... Great place to visit for a nice dinner while you're in town! Especially if you want to get away from southern comfort food...

Visited again and it was just as good. The calamari was so tender, the Anatolia roasted lamb was amazing and tender, as was the lamb shish kabob, sautéed shrimp was good, and again, the hummus was amazing.

I lived in Turkey as a child and Anatolia is my favorite place to get my Turkish food fix! Everything is so authentic and delicious and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. The Adana Kebab is my favorite as I lived in Adana as child. I also love the Iskender Kebabl.

I absolutely love Turkish food and was very excited to try this but I think they fell a bit short. The mantı appetizer was delicious but the stuffed chicken entre I ordered had very little flavor. Finished the meal with Turkish coffee and Kunefe and it was very good, although they forgot my coffee and I had to remind them. Server was friendly and I'd be willing to try again.

I came here for the first time to dine in person. I truly enjoyed the vibe and ambiance! It is such a nice place to dine with prices that help any budget. I have gotten takeout from here 4 times prior. It is one of those places that you want to somewhat dress up for. Last night was great though. I really enjoyed their offers and presentation on the plates. I had the gyro beef plate with rice and yogurt sauce along with sauteed veggies. My dining partner had the lamb kabob. They let me try a bit and I was so satisfied. I wish I would have gotten that for a to-go order. This is a date place to bring someone or bring your family if you want a more upscale dining experience. Istanbul Restaurant, that serves authentic Turkish as well, is nice but not somewhere I'd go for upscale dinner. You go here for ambiance and you go to Istanbul for affordability. Both places are equally as good in my opinion. The service was exceptional. I didn't feel that anything was missed. They were prompt to get us refills on our drinks along with getting out food our relatively quickly. The restaurant is clean, but the bathroom is a bit dingy. They do the best with what they've got in an old building. Parking is shared in the strip mall. It conveniently located in the shopping plaza as Trader Joe's.

This a family owned restaurant that has been here for years. The food is excellent, as is the service. The ambiance is much nicer than your typical strip mall place. Don't be afraid to try something new here- you can trust that whatever you order will be good. They have a lot of regulars, and they really treat them well, so it's totally worth it to support this local business.

I have driven past this little restaurant so many times, but I never really stopped to give it a chance. Big mistake on my part- I have been missing out! We dined here for dinner on a wintry weeknight. We were greeted warmly and seated at a table next to the window. Our server, Miro, could not have been more kind or welcoming. We were hungry and wanted to try multiple menu items. We loved everything. In addition to the warm fresh bread (baked daily), we tried: -Fried calamari- tender, lightly battered rings of calamari -White bean soup- tasty vegetarian soup full of beans, onions, carrots and other small-diced vegetables -Fish of the day: Chilean sea bass which came with a salad (served prior to entree), rice pilaf, and burst roasted tomatoes -Adana Kabob- Miro recommended this as one of his favorite Turkish entrees. It consisted of ground lamb charbroiled on a skewer served with roasted vegetables and rice pilaf. We loved every bite of food and the service was top notch. We can't wait to return. The menu is extensive but they had many specials as well (including four fish specials, one of which was a whole bronzini flown in from Turkey). Don't hesitate to try this gem hidden in a strip mall on White Bridge Road!
