Anatolia Restaurant

Their food is great. But their buffet, not so much. The vegatarian and vegan options in the buffet are very limited and one-time one of their potato vegan dish in the buffet had started to go stale.

All pros, no cons!
-Atmosphere: Warm, inviting and cozy. You can sit on cushions on the floor or at tables, or in a very nice outdoor patio.
-Service is always very fast and polite.
-Free bread, soup and tea. The soup is some of the best lentil soup I've ever had!
-Food is delicious, always cooked perfectly, ample portions with generous sides.
-Very clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options, and lots of them, all very hearty and delicious! This is one of the best restaurants in Bloomington for vegans.
-10% discount for paying in cash

Today was my first visit to Anatolia and aside from knowing that it was Turkish food and that they had a lunch buffet I really had no idea what to expect. When I walked in the lunch buffet was served partially in a bunch of hotel pans and partially in some bowls on another table like a family picnic. Now don't let that deter you as the food was decent, initially it just did not inspire a lot of confidence in my meal choice for the day. If I were to come here again, which inevitably I'm sure I will, I will probably order off the menu rather than having the buffet mainly due in part to the fact that most of the buffet options are vegetable dishes. If you are a vegetarian this would probably please you tremendously, however I am not. Everything said the food was good the staff was polite but a little overpriced.

This is a lovely restaurant and the food is really good! The prices are great and the service is excellent! I'd recommend to anyone.
