    Beef Iskender Kabob

    Friend of mine invited me to try this restaurant and I'm glad she did. To start their free lavash bread with garlic sauce appetizer was freshly baked and absolutely delicious. I've ordered beef Iskender Kabob which came with rice and mixed salads. The portion was big and everything on my plate was very flavourful. I'm sure we will be visiting this restaurant again.

    My friend took me to a lovely homey Turkish restaurant in Burnaby this weekend. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Didn't make a reservation but walked in around 5:30pm and no problem getting a table for two. In reviewing their menu: lots of nice appetizers, complete dishes (some include the lavash bread and others do not so read carefully), pizza and a small selection of no-alcoholic drinks. We ordered the Chicken Iskender and Incik (Lamb Shank) and both meats were cooked well but I enjoyed the lamb the most - flavourful and so tender that the meat just fell off the bone effortlessly. The Lamb Shank included the lavash bread and both dishes served with salad and rice. I found the flavours not as intense as Lebanese or Persian grilled meats but equally enjoyed. The portions were huge and absolutely loved the freshly baked lavash bread with yogurt dip - just heavenly and the best I've eaten around town. We were stuff and couldn't finish everything on our table and we came hungry. To finish off our wonderful meal, we ordered 2 Turkish teas. Upon leaving my friend bought 2 pieces of the baklavas for take-away. OMG, perfect in sweetness and so flakey compared to the Greek style. Totally coming back for this on my next visit. Price, portion size, service and the lavash bread won me over so, yes, I'll be back as soon as possible. Paid meter parking out front on Kingsway but I did see a few free parking spots on the side streets

    Kunafeh dessert

    I have been here a couple of times. This is the first time having thr Iskebder beef kabob. The beef was a little dry for me so a sauce on top would have been alleviating. The side Salads like the pickled beads and carrot Salads were nice and refreshing. The lavash bread, because of the size was nice and entertaining. It was by far my favorite item. It was hot, freshly made and the texture was chewy with a little crunch in the edges and served with a creamy garlic sauce. I could have eaten this huge serving to myself and been satisfied as my meal. I like to end with dessert so I had ordered the kunafah in hopes with would bring back my nostalgia from when I had it in Israel. Unfortately fell short for me, as I feel it should have been crisper and more syrup. But I could be wrong since I've only had it once before. Service could be improved as we called over the waiter a few times to have him only loom at us but not help us. But I would go back for the bread itself again.

    Babaghanoush and hummus

    Came here to break fast last night. They close at 9 but we called ahead of time and they advised they could accommodate as long as we come in a certain time, so that was an awesome option. We received exceptional service by the staff and it was great appreciated. We were hungry but started with the Lavash bread with some hummus and babaghanoush and everything was delicious!!! I ordered the lamb kofta and my colleague had the lamb chops. Everything was delicious. Finished with Turkish coffee and knafe! Delicious and highly recommended!

    Came across Anatolia's while browsing lunch options on SkipTheDishes and glad that I ordered food from here. While many restaurants (apart from fast food joints) are closed during lunch time due to the times we are living in, Anatolia's was open and doing delivery! I ordered the Chicken Iskender and Meat Lovers Pide. To my surprise, it came with complimentary Lavash bread. The chicken was tender, not at all dry and cooked to perfection. It paired well with the side salads. I have not tried the Pide before and this was so tasty! Overall, I was absolutely satisfied with the quality and portion of the food. Anatolia's is definitely going in my favorites and will order again (and hopefully eat at the restaurant someday) P.S: I put the lavash and pide in the oven on broil for about 5mins and that helped in elevating the taste.

    Amazing food at reasonable price. Nice tea and they have desserts too. Nice staff but only two so a slower paced. Chill restaurant with a few seats so no need to make a reservation but you could if you want to. Clean and simple decor but homey. Pretty quiet place and the volume doesn't go to loud. The customers are a mix of different ethnic groups so it's not just their own people. Street parkings around the area (paid and non-paid). Had an amazing dinner there and would definitely go back soon! Highly recommend if you haven't tried it yet!

    Beef Iskender
    Angel L.

    A good bang for your buck! Not sure if this is the case with every order, but the two times I've been here we have ordered two iskender plates which came with a freshly baked lavash bread. The bread is amazing, it's very difficult to stop yourself from eating it all in one sitting, but remember to save some space for your mains! We ended up with plenty leftover to take home for another meal. The restaurant ambience could be better (it's a bit dingy inside and no music, place is quiet), but this place has been open forever so they must be doing something right. Location is convenient by bus, but parking is a bit sparse on the street. PS: If you're torn between beef and chicken, get the beef. While the chicken is decent, the beef has more flavour.

    Appetizing! Subsequent visit.

    I adore this restaurant. It is important to know your crowd if bringing guests. I have seen people leave when finding out there is no alcohol served. The Wood oven is beautiful and the Turkish lavash bread is so delicious and fun to share. I prefer the dishes that are cooked in the oven. The sides are colourful and delicious. Appetizers depend on individual tastes but if you enjoy garlic, vinegary and lemony mediterranean tastes you will enjoy most choices. Experiment! The staff is friendly, hard working and kind. The ambience is simple and not on the luxurious side. The food is the standout here. The portions are huge.

    Lahmajun - Turkish pizza
    Annie M.

    This is another neighborhood gem!! My friend recommended me to try this out and the food was fanatics!! Lavash bread - This is what they're famous for and it's a must try. Lahmajun (Turkish pizza) - It's a thin and crunchy home made pita baked with a juicy minced beef spread Chicken Curry - It's strong and tasty but not too spicy. Just perfect!!

    Meat Lover's Pied
    Amy T.

    Food was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. My husband and I were walking by and decided to try Anatolia's Gate. We ordered the lentil soup, Meat Lover's pide and the lamb. Oh, I wish I saw Marc D.'s review before going because I wouldn't have ordered the lamb. I too, thought it was pieces of lamb, but it was grilled liver chunks. Not a fan. The Meat Lover's pide was tasty, but I don't think it was $11 tasty. To be honest, I expected a bit more meat. This may be how pieds are made, but when I hear meat lovers, I expected Meat Galore! Maybe call it Meat Pied instead? =P As for the lentil soup, my husband didn't like it, but I thought it wasn't bad. This was our first time eating Turkish food and I wasn't too impressed, but I'd give it another shot. One day...

    Kanefeh
    Kimberly H.

    I tried the chicken ishkatar and kanefeh for dessert. So good. The lavish bread cake with complimentary. It was crispy on the outside, pillowy on inside. Super fresh. The side salads compliment the chicken so well. Rice is perfect. The dessert is not for the light hearted, but I love it! 100% recommend and will order again!! I ordered through Uber eats. Super fast!

    Fresh baked kunefe and Turkish coffee.
    Philippe L.

    Hands down and consistently equivalent to travelling to Turkey without leaving home, this restaurant really never disappoints. Starting with just walking in, one is immediately welcomed by the staff, which along with appearing very professional, appear to be authentic. One is also graced with seeing the wood fire oven in use, with which all of the delicious food is made. The service is prompt, the food tastes fresh and is made directly in front of the guests. May I recommend for a starter, to try the fresh baked Lavash (in your choice of white or whole wheat) with fresh hummus or Tzatziki as you will be sold on this Eastern European cuisine. While there, one must also try their Turkish coffee, preferably with dessert as the bitterness of the coffee pairs well with the sweetness of the desserts. The coffee is strong but authentic and won't burn a hole through your stomach as it is quality coffee. One caution I will give is not to go for that last sip as you will be greeted with the finely ground coffee grounds. Just a pro tip from having done it a few times :) The prices appears high but the dishes are meant to be shared so when though of it that way, it makes sense and is not excessive. The restaurant is clean and COVID friendly. The ambiance, music and decor lets one imagine they are actually in Turkey. Really I have no complaints and will return every chance I get.

    My husband wanted to try the new Shiok Express stall that had recently opened up in the Lougheed…read moremall food court, so we went to have lunch there together. The menu at Shiok Express is limited and heavy on meat, which doesn't work so well for me as I'm Pescatarian. Consequently, we made a stop at Golden Pita just outside Lougheed Mall so that I could grab something there for my lunch while my husband would eat food from Shiok Express. It's a small restaurant but there are a few tables there if you'd like to sit and eat there. They've got one of those things that stands upright and rotates while holding a big chunk of meat on it. That's something I used to enjoy back when I was a meat eater. It definitely caught my husband's eye. If he hadn't already been set on eat at Shiok Express that day, I think he would have ordered some kind of meat dish from Golden Pita, so he could have the meat carved freshly from that rotating thingy...(I really need to figure out the proper word for that thingy!) I ordered the Vegan Special which came with 3 pieces of falafel, a spinach pie, stuffed grape leaf, tabbouleh salad, rice, pita bread and hummus and tahini dips. This was a wonderful meal and I highly recommend it. Even the rice was tasty. This one order gives you so much variety. The only thing I didn't like was the tabbouleh salad. There was too much parsley in this salad. Everything else was delicious and I really hope to go back there again sometime! Service: Fair Parking: Plentiful and free. Location: Convenient. Lots of shops and places to eat both at Lougheed Mall and in the surrounding area.

    Excellent tasting foods created with love…read more We just had two funerals supplied with this food all were quite happy to enjoy the Mediterranean flavours Hats off to the chef

I definitely could have taken half home and still be full. The plate comes with chicken shawarma on rice with a pita/saj, and Tzatziki sauce, salad, and hummus. The chicken and rice were flavourful! But the chicken was too dry for my soft mouth. Hummus had a little too much olive oil for my taste (at first bite it tasted like I was eating actual olives, which I don't like) but was overall creamy. I didn't like the salad or Tzatziki sauce but that's just my flavour profile! The salad itself was really fresh and vibrant and Tzatziki sauce is probably as normal.
