Anayurt — Restaurant in Melbourne

Reviewed in mid 2017: 4 Stars - Always good food ! Full of flavor. highly recommended

Reviewed in mid 2021: Food quality + quantity and flavour have dropped dramatically.

Big chicken plate is less than half the size of what it was 4 years ago. Thats 50 % drop in quantity even though the price has gone up by a bit.

Chicken is not succulent like before , flavour of the stew lacked depth and balance. Thankfully the hand pulled noodles are still the best I have ever eaten, even better than the ones in Xinjiang , exceptional texture, bounce and stretch.

Lamb on skewers are chewy- a bit over cooked but mainly due to poor quality meat / improper marinating. Flavour of the seasoning is still spot on - sweet smokey. I used to call these best skewers in Melbourne, but not anymore.

Naan was cold/dry/definitely not freshly baked - waste of money.

Battered-fried eggplant dish was ok - but the egg plant is not crispy like before.

Service was lacklustre - drinking water wasn't served, had to wait a long time for the staff to take our order.

I am sure that the management can look into these issues...

Have been a regular here. Went there tonight. Terrible wait staff that can't even take a proper order or understand a customer. Ordered dumplings at 8:30pm with the mains. My understanding is that dumplings are an entree dish?? Asked a number of times throughout the meal where the dumpling are? Finally said to the wait staff about 9pm that if the dumplings have not been made to cancel the order. Then when paying for the meal at the counter they bring the dumplings at 9:45pm. They still have the nerve to charge a customer for their mistake. When questioning the waitress about charging us she suggested the order was made, albeit nearly 2 hours late so it has to be payed for. So had to takeaway stupid dumplings & pay for them even though they took nearly 2 hours & we came for a sit down meal. The least you can do is admit your stuff up waitress & not put the blame back on a customer for the...

I would never go here again! (Issues: Tables, service and overcharging on father's day! ) I am not sure what the issue with giving a bigger table is with the staff. Me and my wife were allocated a table so small that we could barely fit in two plates. We requested the staff to move us to another place and reluctantly and rudely she moved us to a slightly bigger place. That was only the start. We got served one dish and then we kept on waiting for the rest of the order and it did not come after until 20 mins. We had to get up multiple times to inquire about our order too as everyone else around us was being served. After we finished with whatever was provided, we were told that we would be charged 10% extra for father's day. Not sure why I have to pay extra to celebrate father's day! The staff was unwilling to accept their mistake and kept on telling us it was not their fault that we...
