Anatolia — Restaurant in Oslo

Had a really great lunch here with my bf after hunting down the amazing street art in the local area. We both had the Lamb Tirit from the Turkish specialties part of the menu, a dish I've never tried or even seen on a menu before. We both agreed it was utterly delicious! The meat was succulent and perfectly spiced, and the bread beneath it had soaked up all the juices and the rich tomato and yogurt sauce. Good sized portion too. It came with bulgar, tzatziki and salad. For dessert I had another traditional dish I've never tried but have seen in the UK: kunefe and vanilla ice-cream. I had imagined the soft cheese in the description to be a cream cheese, but it was in fact a harder cheese that had melted in the cooking process, and that, combined with the shredded wheat, the syrup and the icecream made for a really different, but tasty, experience. We paid just under £50 for the 2 mains, the dessert, a Turkish tea, a Turkish coffee and a soft drink - a bargain by Oslo's standards. A special mention has to go to the restroom. Very spacious and uniquely decorated,...

Unfortunately, this is one of the worst food experiences I have ever had. I had lunch there with some friends, and the quality of the food was simply mediocre. The meat (served in long slices), was cold, had no taste, and the texture was more like rubber than anything else. The falafels were clearly not homemade and were also tasteless. Sauces like hummus and tzazziki were not fresh and most likely not homemade either. The location is great, the portions generous, bread was good, but the owners really need to do something about the quality of the food served. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place and I hope this review can be taken as constructive feedback...

Went for an evening meal. Atmosphere was clean, fresh and tidy. Bathroom is neat and smells like it's been looked after.

Sat down at about 2130hrs. It took about 15mins to get attended to. Then another 20mins for the restauranteur to come and inform that original order placed couldn't be made. They had an issue with the grill. Then food came after 25mins more. So a long wait for food.

Food was lamb chops with rice and salad. Chops was overcooked and dry. Made the eating experience underwhelming.

The people are friendly and polite.

Would I recommend?. I think it's best you go see...
