I was excited to visit Anatolia as they advertise themselves as a "premium" restaurant. Unfortunately, I couldn’t fully align my expectations with what I experienced. On one hand, they emphasize a high-end image, but on the other, they serve the cheapest ground pepper in a dispenser and a Coca-Cola napkin holder filled with (in our case, just one) paper napkin. The Ayran is poured from a plastic cup into a glass, which feels inappropriate for a restaurant claiming to be premium. Either make the Ayran yourself or just serve it in the plastic cup – doing it this way feels just absurd.
The fries served with the lamb ribs were cold, and there were very few of them – especially considering the price of over 20 euros for 3 lamb ribs. Fries are inexpensive to make, so why not just serve more?
The meat (we had lamb and chicken) was excellent, and the staff was very friendly – that’s definitely worth mentioning! Another downside was the ventilation, as the grill smell lingered in the air and clung to our clothes.
The restaurant definitely has potential, but it’s hard to reconcile their self-description with “We take pride in offering a splendid ambiance and halal serving the finest halal products, ensuring a delightful culinary journey for all” with the actual experience. The vibe felt more like a typical kebab shop. It’s a shame, as there is certainly room for...
Read moreAnatolia Restaurant in Prague offers a warm and authentic Turkish dining experience that stands out in the city. From the moment you step in, the ambiance is inviting, with traditional decor, soft lighting, and friendly staff that immediately make you feel welcome.
The food is the star of the show. Their grilled meats—especially the lamb kebab and chicken shish—are cooked to perfection: juicy, tender, and well-seasoned. The mezze platter is a great starter to share, with creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, and fresh tabbouleh. The pide (Turkish flatbread) is also a must-try—crispy on the outside and generously filled.
Vegetarian options are available and thoughtfully prepared, though the menu leans more towards meat dishes. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and authenticity of the food.
The service is polite and attentive, though at peak times it can be a bit slow, so it’s a good idea to book a table in advance or come a bit early.
If you’re craving Middle Eastern flavors or simply looking to try something different in Prague, Anatolia is a fantastic choice. Whether it’s for a casual dinner or a special occasion, it’s a spot...
Read moreIn international law an embassy is considered a land owned by the country which it represents. Given the love Turks show to their food, I would consider this to be at least a consulate of Turkey that takes you there while you are still in central Prague.
During our five day stay and due to the proximity and convenience to the hotel and due to the quality of this restaurant at least one of our group ate at it everyday. Meat doner was fantastic -but noticed that it finishes before the start of the evening-, grilled meat and chicken were great, entrecôte was amazing, but the real highlight for me was the simple lahmacun!
Lahmacun in this restaurant comes with a quality I don’t remember having in Turkey it self. Light but firm dough base covered with a mix of meat, tomato and herbs. There is no cheap “flavour enhancers" like fat or tomato sauce. Everything was just in balance. Upon asking I was informed that the cook is a chef from Urfa who specializes in it.
Even when it comes to sweets they serve an excellent sutlac and very decent peynerli kunefe
Prices are not cheap but they are in line with many other restaurants I ate at in...
