This Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant Located in the Station 319 building where many businesses have failed but this business is proving that a great business can flourish even in tricky locations. This was our first visit on a Saturday evening and we were glad we made reservations as it was packed yet still maintained a great atmosphere. Our male server Burak was very attentive, professional, and very friendly. We ordered the Lavash with the mixed appetizer - tabouli, Mediterranean salsa, hummus, and Haydari. Chicken and Beef Kabobs as our entrees. Their signature cocktail Istanbul Peach Martini and a glass of Autorotas Sauvignon Blanc. As always the Lavash was amazing as was the Kabobs. The Kabobs came with a scoop of white rice, potatoes and a great salad with no lettuce, just marinated tomatoes. Cucumber, onion with herbs. read more

Several friends have been urging us to give this a try, but Somersworth seemed like a haul, but we were glad we made the effort. The dining room is nice, a bit quirky as it is an old train station. Our waitress was pleasant and was happy to answer any questions we had. Food from the kitchen was a tad slow, but it was a Saturday night and they were slammed. We were told we had to order the bread with the assortment of cold appetizer spreads and that really was fantastic. Piping hot bread, huge and an assortment of 4 dishes to go with it. All were tasty, especially the hummus. This alone is worth the journey to find this place. I had the lamb kofte, which are flattened meatballs usually cooked like a kebob. I was served a large portion and they tasted delicious, plenty to bring home. The other diners with me enjoyed their chicken kabob, falafel and kabob wrap. We thought the prices were fair for such generous portions. We will try again if in the area. Give this place a try if you have been sitting on the fence like me. read more

I go to lots of restaurants and went here awhile ago. I had a terrible time finding the place, even with my GPS! There is only on street parking, which can be tricky for this particular area. I was not thrilled with my choice for the Beef kabobs. The Naan bread, however was huge, out of this world! I was happy with just munching on the bread. Everyone else with me (there were 3), loved their meals. I would probably come back, if I could find a parking space and remember where it is! read more

Came to Anatolia for the first time recently for drinks and apps with a couple of my friends and it was great! I had the mixed app platter with lavash bread, cheese rolls and a cocktail (the name escapes me). The gigantic lavash and spreads were definitely the star of the show here! The bread is a perfect blend of soft and chewy with perfectly toasted bits, and the spreads were mouth watering. The haydari was our favorite, but they were all very good. We really enjoyed sitting on the outdoor patio- the cool artifacts from the old train station are a great touch. The waitress was easy to chat with and knowledgeable... I'm not certain if this is a family-run business but that was the general vibe- warm and friendly with an obvious desire to share good eats. We don't have many Mediterranean places in the area, and Anatolia really fills that void nicely. I immediately came back the next day to buy a gift card for my dad for Father's Day. I think he will really enjoy it here too! read more

This is the second time I've been to Anatolia. Personally, I love Mediterranean. I took my mom and sister there. I wanted them to experience and enjoy lavash bread. They got the beef kabob and shrimp sauté. All excellent. I preferred the pistachio baklava. The Turkish cookies were tasty - a bit too sweet for me. It is in the old train station on the border of Maine and NH. The lighting is comfy and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The time between the meal and dessert was a bit delayed as our server seemed to forget about us. The first time I went there I ordered the falafel wrap -delish! read more

Rating: 4.5 On the way to the White mountain, we decided to stop by for dinner since I saw that their reviews were stellar. Just in case we made a reservation as it was recommended on the website. It's an authentic Mediterranean restaurant located in Somersworth, NH. The restaurant is slightly hidden as its located on lower floor of a building what it looks like to be an old train station. Inside is cozy with dark dim lights, relaxing instrumental music and decorations of train signs. We ended up arriving very early but they were able to accommodate us. We got hot turkish tea, lavash bread, mixed appetizer plate with babagannush, haydari, hammus, tabouli, and adana kebab. My partner got the chicken shish kebab. Hot turkish tea came with very fancy tray and cup. Tea was earthy and smoky. Lavash bread is huge steaming bread with crusty outside and chew soft inside. The bread paired perfectly with the mixed appetizer plate. I personally liked haydari the best. It reminded of cream cheese a bit as it was based on yogurt. The adana kebab was excellent. It came with perfectly grilled spiced lamb, rice, salad and mashed potatoes. Tender flavorful lamb paired well with rice and mashed potatoes. Salad was ok but good addition to balance the meal. Service was excellent and our server was very attentive and kept offering refills for our Turkish tea freshly made every time. Overall the place was great and such a hidden gem. Food is great, price is reasonable, and service is excellent. It was one of the best restaurant that we had tried while visiting NH. Would love to come back when planning a trip back to NH. read more

Had reservation for 7pm but we arrived early and our table was ready for sudden stop at 6pm. Apparently the earlier reservation canceled, so it was a luck~ seems like it's mostly a place with many reservations. This restaurant is in the back, down some stairs. An old train stop with many older signs and right by an old track (unsure if trains still pass by). Ordered hot Turkish tea as drinks. Warm and brewed consistently. Great pallets cleansers. Got the appetizer platter that comes with 4 samples or your choice. This was a master piece! Comes in bowl all inflated and got and water bigger then you'd expect. It was such an amazing sight. This could've been a meal and I'd leave full. The hummus selection was the best dip. The bread has a crispy outer layer, chewy soft center, and a mix of both on the edges. Can't stop but marvel at this great bread. Big fan! I got the chicken shish kebab was flavorful and tastes like freshly grilled on charcoal meat. This has been the best NH drive stop yet! Call and get your reservation and get some bread! read more

An absolute gem tucked inside a beautifully restored old train station, Anatolia Mediterranean is one of those places you want to keep to yourself--but can't. (Might be our favorite hidden gem!) From the moment you walk in, the warmth feels genuine, and the food delivers on every promise of authenticity. The flavors are rich, fresh, and clearly made with care, from perfectly seasoned meats to vibrant, soulful Mediterranean dishes that taste like home cooking done right. Nothing feels rushed or generic--this is excellent food rooted in tradition. If you're in New Hampshire and craving truly authentic Mediterranean cuisine in a unique, charming setting, Anatolia is a must-visit. #MediterraneanFoodNH #AuthenticMediterranean #NewHampshireEats #HiddenGemDining read more

Super authentic Turkish spot Anatolia in Somersworth, NH, came highly recommended by a foodie group I'm in -- & I'm so glad I went! The menu & photos immediately caught my eye, & since I was in Maine for the weekend, I made the trip. Tucked behind a building near the train tracks, this hidden gem had the perfect ambiance. Yagmur behind the bar took great care of me and offered some amazing suggestions. I started with warm lavash bread (over a foot wide!) & hummus, then had the kofte kebab with rice & Turkish mashed potatoes -- everything was seasoned to perfection. I ended the meal with a traditional Turkish coffee, the perfect finish to an incredible meal. Definitely a must-visit! read more

outstanding Turkish restaurant. owner Ali great guy. cozy, comfortable restaurant. hHdden gem.

Great food, fabulous atmosphere, great staff. The lamb was delicious. And the bonus was the belly dancer.

Exceptional authentic food and a great atmosphere. Large dining area very comfortable. Friendly staff. Delish!

My husband and I love Anatolia, and everyone we take there loves it too! The lavash is almost twice the size of my head--one is enough for four people. Our faves include: hummus, babagannush, portobello mushrooms, and lahmacun. Call for a reservation, especially on weekends! Go, you won't be sorry! read more

If there was a sixth star - this place deserves it! From the moment you walk in you feel special. Our party of 7 had the most amazing time here tonight. The service was spectacular, the drinks were on point, there is a full bar with an extremely knowledgeable and talented bartender/waiter extraordinaire named Casey! He reviewed all of the delicious appetizer choices with us, ensuring we took note of the hot and cold and proudly informed us of his favorite entrees. When the meals came, our jaws dropped. They were out of this world incredible - packed with flavor and authenticity. We were so delighted we all kept saying we would be back. I would recommend this spot for groups, families, date nights - anyone would thoroughly enjoy their visit to Anatolia. Until we eat again! xoxo read more

What a brilliant experience - must visit for us whenever we're near Dover. Sleepy side of town with a hidden Turkish restaurant that's one of the best we've been too. The size of the Lavash is beyond words and when combined with hummus is enough for main course. Kebabs were tasty, fresh and well seasoned with a large enough portion to bring home. The smoked paprika mashed potatoes will want you asking for me. Save room for the baklava and Turkish chai - each reminds us of being in Turkey. Great venue which feels very authentic and large enough for a good sized event. Service was top notch and were very attentive. My only regret is not being able to stay for the belly dancer. Must visit for those that enjoy amazing Mediterranean meals. read more

The place has a nice atmosphere and service was ok if not great. We were there on a Momday night and I don't know if they get their delivery for the week on Tuesdays but they were out of 3 of their draft beers (think they have 6 to choose from) and I go all excited to have a Turkish coffee (have literally not had one for 30 years!) but they were out of that too! So all these missing menu items is really what brings it down to 4/5. We all shared starters - admit I forget the names - huge!! flatbread with some side dishes and I had lamb sishkebab for main. The lamb was perfectly cooked - just a hint of pinkness and tender and moist. Super flavourful! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu (and Turkish coffee!) read more

Perfect ambiance in an old rail depot! Decor matched the building use. Tracks outside are still active (5pm train). Food lived up to other reviews. I had the mummies and lavash with falafel. All three were delicious!! The hummus perfectly creamy and flavorful, the falafel crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. At both with the lavash! My son had the chicken kabob wrap and said it was also delicious. The staff was also very attentive. Sunday lunch is not a busy time if you want to give it a try! read more

Just loved our romantic date at Anatolia. It's a smaller place so I suggest a reservation. But as you walk in the stone on the side of the buildings in an old train station is so unique. You just can't get ambience like this anywhere. The service was wonderful and they helped with the menu describing all of the items. We started with the lentil soup which was delicious but different than usual as the lentils were pureed. The lavish bread that we ordered was fantastic but it's so big. You're going to be taking it home if there's only two of you. We ordered the lime saute and the rice that it came with was delicious. The lamb tender and the sauce delightful. When we got the bill, we were delighted at a very economical, cost-effective dinner. You want ambience you want a date night? You want great food. You can't go wrong with Anatolia. read more

Great food!!!! My kids love coming here when visiting. Best hummus and other great dips for the flatbread as an app. Anything you order here, you will love. read more

The service was very nice and the food came fast. My husband got the Turkish ravioli and it was very flavorful, the yogurt sauce made it so creamy. And I got the vegetable flatbread, it was ok the sauce could had used more spice; I wasn't tasting much. The inside was so cool too, it was like a secret restaurant vibe, kind of felt hidden away. read more

What an incredible place! We've been before, but decided to come on a Thursday for the belly dancing. It was definitely a fun experience.

It's been a long time since I've been to a restaurant that truly wowed me. Anatolia is a gem! My friend took me here for a belated birthday lunch. I loved that the owners kept memorabilia from the train station. The food is just amazing! My friend and I devoured the Mixed Appetizer Platter with lavash bread. I really enjoyed the Istanbul Tabouli (as a person who usually can't stand the Greek version) and Mediterranean Salsa. We shared a Lahmacun entree, which was spectacularly flavored. Service was attentive and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised when our waitress came by to refill our hot teas. I look forward to our next visit! read more

I was very excited to try Anatolia's. Heard so many good things about their food. We really enjoyed our meals. I had lamb kabobs and they were cooked perfect. The Lavish bread and dips were the star. While I wasn't blown away it was a great meal, service was on point and they did a great job with the building. Will go back. read more

Now a regular, we brought my family to experience Anatolia. They were blown away by the food. Since we lived in Turkey for a couple of years, the food did provide us a chance to share our memories of living in Turkey and the incredible food. You cannot go wrong. Check them out. read more

Best Mediterranean/Turkish food I've ever had, easily. I'm kicking myself for only discovering this place today! Pide - Turkish flatbread with cheese and spinach and a side salad. Sensational and lighter version of a pizza. Falafel with yogurt dip - freshly cooked, creamy and light. Refreshing and addictive! Lamb kofta wrap - tender and well cooked lamb, flavorful rice and sauce with a salad on the side. Walnut baklava - fresh and tasty. read more

We had the fortune of having NH friends bring us take out from Anatolias. My friend Renee got the lamb stuffed eggplant and I had a bite. I have thought about that bite for the 3 months since I had it. Finally, for my birthday, we went there and 3 of the 4 of us ordered the lamb stuffed eggplant. Atmosphere is so nice. It is in an old train depot, lots of brick, lots of smells of yummy food. So good. Warm, cozy yet very special without having to be dressy. It is a place for nice meals. Also, they let us have our table for 3 hours which was great. So great. All 3 of us are not big meat eaters. It is such unique flavors that really everyone needs to try it. Even non-lamb eaters. It is accompanied by rice. Something about the rice is different. I believe there is cumin in there, but they must also cook it in broth rather than water; it is almost halfway to a risotto, very creamy and yummy. I opted for the salad instead of the rice, but then regretted it. We started with the lavash which is amazing. Must get that with at least one dip. We got hummus and it was so good. The salad is pretty great. Merely cukes, tomatoes, onions, in a light oil, with spices and lots of parsley. Yum. We got pistachio baklava for dessert. 4 pieces for 4 people. They are tiny pieces, just a couple of bites and so good. Sweet, so you really don't need more than that. Wait staff is excellent, knowledgeable and passionate about the food. We had Casey who was just wonderful. Not too much, not too little and his dimples were just adorable. He was an expert on the food and ingredients. What he didn't know he asked and returned with answers. They are so lucky to have him. We would ask for his table next time. Turns out his mom is a waitress at another restaurant we like, so it's in his blood. No pics sorry. Food came and went quickly. read more

"Authentic flavors, warm atmosphere, and outstanding service--Anatolia never disappoints!"

I can't disagree with 43 other fellow Yelpers...let's make it 44 five star reviews! First, the service is top notch. The staff is outstanding; everyone is so nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. I have dined at Anatolia five times now and have yet to be disappointed. This evening we had the chicken kabobs - delicious. I've also had the lamb kabobs... tough choice...both are incredible dishes. The special this evening was shaved beef over rice. Wow! This needs to be a normal menu item, I'd get it all the time...so good! As for the appetizers, you can't go to this place without trying that bread of theirs, Lavash bread, with the Baba Ghanoush. We also love their stuffed grape leaves and humus plate. I think you'll find that anything you order will be delicious and I highly recommend you give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy! read more

Anatolia is one of the best restaurants in town, no doubt. The hummus and baba ghanoush with their fresh lavash is so good I could happily eat it every day without getting bored. I am also a big fan of their chicken and lamb kebabs. The Turkish wine they offer (particularly the reds) pair beautifully with their meals. Mimet (I'm sorry if I'm not spelling his name correctly) is our server almost every time we go and he is so sweet and knowledgeable! My partner and I go here for our date nights because aside from mind blowingly good food, the atmosphere is so cozy. They are located in the bottom floor of an old train station (like very old) and the place is decorated with lots of historical train pieces/signs with warm tone low lighting. 10/10 always recommend this place to anyone who will listen read more

I love this place! I found them driving through and decided to stop and check them out. Everything on the menu was perfectly done and the portions were generous! I can't wait to come back for a third time. read more

On a return visit we complained that the sides were cold. The replacements were lukewarm as well and the owner insisted there was nothing wrong with the temp. I am dropping a star for his poor response to constructive criticism. read more

This is a true hidden gem - our experience was 100 A+!! The restaurant is hard to find - look for Gravy on Main St. and the restaurant is behind it right along the train tracks. You need to walk down the steep driveway. The owner Ali is delightful and very accommodating. Our server Cynthia was hilarious, we had a great conversation and I was quite impressed with her familiarity with Turkish food! Appetizers: Dolmas were fresh and delicious but not the most memorable. The crispy phyllo cheese rolls are sensational. They are an interesting take on mozzarella sticks but much better. You must try the Lavash bread (which is served puffed up) with the Haydari (yogurt sauce). As much as I love lamb, I thought the Chicken Shish Kebob was awesome!! The lamb is nicely seasoned and even my partner, who doesn't like lamb, said it was excellent! The baklava is one of the best ever. Most people order the pistachio but I would suggest getting the walnut, you can't go wrong. We are very fortunate to have this level of quality in our small part of the country. BIG NEWS: As of April 2022, they will have belly dancing performances on Thursday nights. read more
