Anatolia Mediterranean Grill

5's all the way! Two of my friends and I stopped in after lunch and it was amazing. The service was AMAZING! Our waitress was kind and helped make sure our order was correct. The food came out quickly.

We order falafel, Turkish coffee, and cookies. We split everything between 3 people which worked really well. Would definitely go again.

It also has the added benefit of being easy to find, has parking, and is right on Lake Onatrio. A must try!

The most authentic Turkish restaurant in town. Obviously a family run labor of love by the owners and manager. The food is delicious, authentic and beautiful. Consider this an excellent date night choice. The booths and tables are cozy and well appointed and small touches like Turkish coffee served in a traditional ornamental cup separate this choice from others.

Family owned and run restaurant with love in every bite. Started with the falafel which was just under pureed and had great texture and wasn't dried out. Filled with a variety of spices and herbs it was a winner with the provided dips (one of which is hummus for that full chickpea journey).

The Chicken Beyti was layered with flavors. Ground seasoned perfectly cooked chicken inside a buttery flaky dough covered with a combination of a lemon yogurt sauce and a tomato sauce. Flavor profile hits every note and tastebud. The rice provided was perfectly cooked and had a great accompanying flavor which was the perfect reset to the pallet.

The Chicken Shish was juicy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Pretty healthy dish to get if you want to balance flavor and calories.

The lahmajoun was layered with so many flavors from the ground lamb to eggplant and peppers. All cooked to perfection. Had this twice and my only note is the dough was crispier the first time and a bit soggy this time. That may have been from getting the 3x this time (which are three stacked on top of one another). It's possible the moisture caused a bit of sag there. But if I went again I'd ask for them to be on the crispier side dough wise. If they do come out a little soggy, roll them up and they're 👌.

The complementary tea was wonderfully steeped and while we tried the fermented black carrot/turnip juice, it was bottled, it also wasn't our thing before the meal. But during and afterwards its strong sharp funky flavor cut and provided some contrast to the rest of the meal, which may or may not be your thing.

Oh! And our waitress Maya was stellar. If she's around when you're there you lucked out!

This was the BEST restaurant experience I’ve had since moving to Rochester almost a year ago! I took my girlfriend there for our weekly Friday night date. The food was amazing! The Chicken Beyti was the best thing that I’ve eaten ever; so delicious! My girlfriend got the Feta Pide which was very yummy as well. The food didn’t take that long considering how delicious it was. It came out with wonderful presentation and was hot. While we waited for our food they brought us bread with dipping oil and a very yummy tea. The staff was so lovely, so helpful and sweet. I will recommend this family owned restaurant to everyone!

We dined-in on a Saturday evening with a group of 5. We ordered and shared over 10 dishes and desserts. Every dish we sampled was as tasty and authentic as we experienced during our family visits to Türkiye (I am originally from Türkiye).
The staff and atmosphere were very warm and friendly. We ended up enjoying our meals over a 3 hours long dinner with fond memories.
I would highly recommend it.
