Anatolian Kitchen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anatolian Kitchen is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every dish tastes authentic and made with care. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is always friendly and attentive. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or a family dinner, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone who loves truly good food and genuine hospitality!

Loved this unexpectedly delicious Turkish spot. Has an all halal menu, great lunch options and amazing baked goods. Highly recommend if you’re in town.

This restaurant is easily one of my must go to places whenever I am in Bethlehem. My family and I got our food for pick up this time, which was not as good as eating it fresh at the restaurant, but it still really holds up! Pick up was really easy to do. 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. Also parking is easy with a shared lot outside. I love this restaurant!

A hidden gem, take a seat the staff will greet you. the warm turkish bread with mezze everything on the platter was so delicately assembled, all fresh. i was impressed with flavors of the couscous(center item) and Ezme (red item is tasty but very spicy). i asked for the broth of bone (forgot the name) special of day -but they ran out. Also if you have sweet tooth must try the Kunefe (nut-free) its absolutely delish straight from the oven (same as already posted video)topped with honey, melted halume cheese. the staff is very serious but come across as busy & respectful rather than arrogant. i want to try their breakfast

Had stuffed grape leaves and falafel platter and everything was delicious. Had the lentil soup in the past and it was great too. Want to try their breakfast menu next. If you guys you need to try their breakfast desserts. Very different and delicious.

Hands down delicious. Reminds me of the food I ate on vacation in Istanbul. The borek was spectacular and the coffee with lamb and cheese pie was delicious

A must stop. The soup is delicious. Reminded me a little bit of old vegetable soup and Manhattan clam chowder. The chicken was 10 out of 10. If you get the chance to stop in. Trust me you won't regret it.

We went here tonight for the second time. The food was excellent on both visits. I had the red cabbage salad and it was delicious. I also had the gyro sandwich and it was very tasty. I loved the dessert of three bite sized baklava. It has always been fresh baked. The decor and music make for an authentic atmosphere. We will definitely add this to our regular list of places to eat out. 2022: Still a great place to dine. A wonderful family restaurant. 2025: We tried the breakfast today and it was quite good. I had the veggie omlet and full grain toast.

I adore this restaurant. Never visit the in-laws without grabbing take-away. Beautiful interior, friendly and helpful service and consistent, fabulous and flavorful options, to include vegetarian.

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.

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.

Very good food and service . Nice menu and great desserts. Also take out food . Staff is eger to make you visit enjoyable. BYOB

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.

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.

This family run restaurant serves up fresh Mediterranean food with a smile. I like getting the kebab platter, but really anything is good. A friend said they also have excellent breakfast so I'll have to give that a try sometime. Definitely recommend.

Quaint lovely restaurant. Came here as Mediterranean food sounded good. Ordered the hummus to start with which is served bread, was expecting pitas. Had the lamb kebabs which were so delicious. The spice was nice and complemented the lamb.

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.

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!

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

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. My daughter had the falafel plate. Both entrees were delicious. I had Turkish coffee that was great and comes in the cutest cup. We had baklava for dessert that was lovely. I highly recommend this place.

Such welcoming staff. I ordered a pitcher of hot apple tea & warm eggplant salad with a side of bread. The service is so wonderful. I love the food here. It's absolutely divine!!! See you again!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great food! mixed appetizer is so so good, fresh ingredients, and really good pastries at check out.

If you are a business traveler who must use your corporate American Express charge card, this business does not accept. A sign was posted on the front door, 13 May 2024. Sadly, I could not partake.

Amazing food and service. Been here twice and highly recommend! My favorites were the warm bread and eggplant appetizer. So good!

We've eaten here a lot, since we've move to the area. The food is great. The service is friendly, and the ambiance is nice.

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!

This is a great whole in the wall Mediterranean spot of Philly. Service here is pretty good and food is amazing!

I was so excited to learn that this restaurant was located approximately 30 min away from my house and that driving to North Jersey for Turkish food might not be my only option anymore. We started with the mezze platter and the shepherds salad (çoban salatası). The mezze were very tasty and were served with warm authentic Turkish bread. The salad tasted fresh, not like it sat around in the fridge all day. This is extremely important for a dish like this that has very simple ingredients. For our main meal we got the Meat Lover's Pide (Karışık Pide) and Lamacun, both of which were very well made and extremely flavorful. We also got the Iskender Kebab, the dish by which I judge all Turkish restaurants. In this case, they fell short for me. While the meat tasted ok, and most people wouldn't know what they are missing, I could tell that it was processed/packaged pre-made meat and not freshly made and carved onsite. I'm wondering if this was because it was early in the day and they save the good stuff for the busy dinner service. It was also served very plainly. I expected and would have appreciated a charred hot green pepper and some tomatoes at least along with my Iskender. These are very common accompaniments. The pilav that it was served with was also very underwhelming. I hope they will improve on this dish as it's a favorite of mine usually. The interior isn't fancy at all and is maybe even a little sparse. However, they have authentic Turkish music playing in the background and pictures and paintings of all things Turkish. The service was attentive and pleasant and I enjoyed the overall vibe. We're looking forward to returning with our children soon to try the Manti, Mercemek çorbası and other main entrees.

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

Nice place. Clean open. Attentive service. Had the lamb shank soup, the Tantuni sandwich and Turkish coffee. All very tasty. Took home some baklava which was soft and tender very tasty and almost didn't make it home! Give it a try.

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

Went here for lunch in the middle of the week and was quite surprised to this gem. I've been the Lehigh Valley for about 6 years now and never tried this place, but always wanted to. First off, cute little restaurant with a decent amount of seating and mom and pop authentic feel to it. They offer lunch specials throughout the week which are priced fairly and affordable. The taziki sauce here was some of the best I've ever had and the fries that came with my meal was delicious and perfectly crisp. There's also plenty of healthy options.

We came here just for dessert. Ordered Turkish coffee, kunefe, and Turkish creme brulee. Everything was super yummy. This place has a great ambiance. The staff was very friendly, and the Turkish coffee cups were super cute lol. Highly recommend.

Great food and service. The restaurant was cozy and the staff very attentive We had the baba ghanoush, it was delicious and the soup was amazing.

I walked in to place a takeout order. The greeter was very gracious and invited me to have a seat to look over the menu. I ordered the kebab dinner with chicken lamb and beef it was very good and fresh with a lot of flavor I will definitely visit again

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.

Really nice restaurant with lots of ambience! Food was great, even though I'm not always into ethnic style. Large menu with lots of choices! Chicken kabobs were very tasty as well as the rice. And their 'vegetable?' Soup was stupendous !! Can't wait to return!

Our first visit as a family for lunch and everything was great. Very cozy and warm inside, which is nice as it's cold out! Had a mix of sandwiches/pita and dinner platters. Started with the appetizer sampler and it was great. Very fresh and the bread was delicious. All the meat was cooked well and very big portions. Service was good, would like a paper bill not just the machine but not a deal breaker. Would definitely be back.

Great food, great people, great place, reasonable prices! Lovely place to dine in but it is our go to for pickup.

Great service and food. Large mixed appetizer plate was my favorite. Beautiful variety of Turkish Delite sweets available.

we have been going to the anatolian kitchen since it opened. the food is always terrific, and the staff are lovelympeople.

Delicious flavorful food , decent portions, great service and the cutest after dinner Turkish coffee!

The Anatolian Kitchen exudes a casual yet refined ambiance, serving generous portions of delectable cuisine. I am looking forward to dining there again and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. The staff is exceptionally friendly and provides outstanding service.

I recommend Anatolian Kitchen to everyone looking for delicious authentic Turkish food. Actually it is more than that: I recommend it to anyone who wants to sample a ton of different and delicious food and still feel good even after overeating! I had one of the best meat lovers pide, lahmacun that is probably the best I had in many years. Meze and coban salatasi (see pictures) were delicious. Ayran (yogurt drink) was the only item that I did not devoured! probably hand made and I am too used to manufactured versions I guess. There is parking at the front, place is nice and clean. Our server was Turkish and she served us with the gentle touch which reminded me of how caring family members would serve food. I took desert home: kazandibi, sutlac and kunefe! I could have done without sutlac as it not the taste I remember but the other two were delicious. I will definitely go back for more...to sample pretty much everything on their menu!!

Food was delicious! Will definitely be back. The gyro was tasty & salad amazing. Even the iced tea was good!

Really nice place, it was quiet. Waitress was very nice. Food was delicious! We will be back.

Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service! Came here for the first time with some friends tonight. I got chicken shish kabobs and rice pudding and both were excellent! My friends loved the falafel. The homemade bread was so good and fresh too! Definitely recommend checking out this spot for some good Mediterranean and Turkish foods.

The place was very busy and under staffed. The food was fresh but not a lot on the menu for me. Seemed like Greek food.

Delicious!! I ordered takeout for the mixed grill platter and the lentil soup. Everything was so tasty. The mixed grill platter had chicken and lamb kebabs and a ground lamb kebab. All had great flavor but the ground lamb had a little spicy kick that made it over the top. It came with rice that had chicken peas, pickled cabbage, a salad and sautéed onions and a pita. I loved eating a little bit of everything with the pita. The lentil soup was puréed but still with texture- it was addicting! The ladies that helped me were so sweet and friendly. Can't wait to go back and try more!
