An Unforgettable Culinary Journey at Anarkali, Turkey*
Tucked away in the heart of Turkey, Restaurant Anarkali is a hidden gem that will leave you enchanted. My recent visit was an unforgettable experience, seamlessly blending exquisite cuisine, stunning ambiance, and warm hospitality.
Ambiance: 5/5 As I stepped into Anarkali, I was struck by the breathtakingly beautiful interior. The natural and aesthetic sitting area, adorned with lush greenery, rustic wood accents, and soft, warm lighting, transported me to a serene oasis. The elegant decor, infused with Turkish elements, created an intimate and inviting atmosphere.
Cuisine: 5/5 The menu boasted an impressive array of options, but the standouts were undoubtedly the sandwiches and biryani. The "Chicken Shawarma Sandwich" was a masterclass in flavors and textures, with tender chicken, crispy veggies, and tangy sauce, all wrapped in a freshly baked pita. The "Hyderabadi Biryani" was a symphony of spices, basmati rice, and succulent meat, cooked to perfection. Each bite was a testament to the chef's expertise.
Highlights: Enchanting natural and aesthetic sitting area Exceptional service, warm and attentive staff Delectable sandwiches (Chicken Shawarma recommended) Authentic, flavorful biryani Generous portions
Recommendation: If you're seeking a truly immersive dining experience in Turkey, look no further than Anarkali. Savor the exquisite cuisine, bask in the stunning ambiance, and let the warm hospitality...
Read moreAttention!! This comment is written to help this restaurant to improve. Firts af all is nice to have international food in Antalya, however as is a new restaurant you won feel the ambient is related to the Pakistani culture.
Price: "is overpriced" compared to other countries for the same price of chicken you get more than double amount.
Food: the chicken was overcooked, good tasted, the rice was perfect, however the salad was just big peaces of onion, carrots and cucumbers without one lettuce.
Presentation: any of the dishes can be compared with the picture in the menu and is served in the basics plates. A little bit more effort in the presentation of the dishes can be taken to feel that the commensals are eating a Pakistani food.
Price: As I said, overpriced. In Berlin the same chicken is comming along with rice and bread in the same price and it not exceed 10 euros. We paid 13 euros for small plate of chicken, and rice and bread was extra.
Total price paid: 1.100 liras for a menu for 1 person.
Comming from Datca with this ammount of money we have a fish dinner with an abundan green salad, a fresh fish and 6 mese.
Service: more professionalism and organization, one person should be in charge of one task so can decrease the confusion and improve the efficiency.
Honestly, happy with a new restaurant in the area with a different food. Hopefully will be much better...
Read moreDinner at Anarkali restaurant was nothing short of a revelation from the moment we walked in, enveloped by the warm glow of the open kitchen and the intoxicating aroma of slow-roasted herbs, we knew we were in for something special. The meal began with a crusty, still-warm sourdough loaf served with whipped cultured butter, sea salt, and smoked honey that practically made us emotional — yes, over bread. Then came the star: a 12-hour braised beef short rib that fell apart at the touch of a fork, nestled on creamy parsnip purée and topped with crispy shallots and a bone marrow reduction so rich and savory it felt almost sinful. Across the table, perfectly seared scallops were paired with a light, sweetcorn espuma and basil oil — delicate, bright, and impossibly fresh. The sommelier’s wine pairings elevated everything: a deep, velvety Syrah that embraced the short rib like a second sauce, and a crisp white Burgundy that made the scallops sing. Finally, the dark chocolate tart with salted caramel and espresso mousse closed the night with finesse — not too sweet, just deeply satisfying. Every bite of this meal was a masterclass in balance and intention, and by the end, we were full, quiet, and grateful, knowing we’d just experienced something rare: food so good it leaves a mark on...
