This used to be one of my favorites for both lunch and dinner. The food has really declined in quality since the establishment changed hands . I have gone back on three occasions and been greatly disappointed in the food each time. I won't be back.

I went to Poppis Anatolia for my mother's birthday.It was a fantastic service and exquisite food.We cherished the memory because they made us feel great.I don't remember the names of the plates, but it had shrimps, olives with salad and feta.We also had lamb and another chicken plate.The only thing that they might work better is on desserts.But the main dishes are exquisite, the best!!

Went here for the first time with my friend. We ordered the skordalia appetizer, gyro dish, and porkchop dish. The appetizer was yummy! The gyro dish was as what you would expect. The porkchop dish was well seasoned and a bit chewy. I would come here again and try different menu items!

Cute little spot, deserts good and appetizers okay, but main meals not tasty at all.

A sweet spot in downtown Eugene, very quaint and tastefully decorated. I had the snapper and it was delicious.

Had a date night here and while most of the food was delicious, the service was terrible. Our waitress had to hike up her pants every time she moved from one table to the next and I never saw her wash her hands, she also had to be asked three times for bubbly water that my husband ordered before she brought it, and she delivered the food without a fork to eat it, then looked perplexed when we asked for one when we were able to get her attention ten minutes later. It made the delicious food and beautiful atmosphere not as great. I don't think we'll be returning.

Another wonderful experience at Poppi's Anatolia! The service was personal, the atmosphere relaxed and warm, and the food delicious! The best tzatziki I have ever had. It is such a popular, place we were so glad we made reservations! A perfect stop before a show at the Hult Auditorium.

I'm giving a 3-Star, because the food was superb. But I probably will not return because of the service. Had a rezzie, was seated promptly and was provided water and a cocktail and ordered our two entrees and a cup of soup. Our server never came back to check on us. We were not given any attention again until 40 minutes later when our entrees arrived (delivered by a different staff member who was very friendly). She did have to move our empty water and cocktail glasses and empty water carafe out of the way that I had placed near the edge of the table to signal more water and/or the offer of another cocktail would be appreciated, since looking around and trying to obtain eye contact was not working. Still no soup (which I had expected much sooner). So she went back and got it and delivered it in under one minute. Since we were still not offered the opportunity to order another cocktail when our server finally did bring us a fresh water carafe after our food arrived (I assumed she was told by the person who delivered our food), dashing too quickly to open the door for requests, I finally was able to flag her down to ask for another cocktail. The food was very good, we tried both a Greek dish and an Indian dish; both were superb. The service from our server was not, we received more attention and friendliness from other staff. We had a lot of food left over and asked our server for a box, she brought one, a very small box...I crammed as much as I could into it, but, at this point, was just too irritated to actually have to ask for a bigger or additional box when she clearly had no interest in truly providing what customers need OR lacked basic awareness skills that servers do well to develop....so, unfortunately, I left some food on the table.

I have been going to Poppies Anatolia‘s since 197….something. The recipes have been the same my whole life, tried and true! Something has changed, the recipes are not the same or maybe they’re just not being cooked the same way, but the quality has declined significantly. This breaks my heart!? This has been my families ‘eating out’ staple for over 45 years and I’m fearful the new ownership will run the original recipes into the ground.The Yanni Potatoes aren’t anything like they’ve ever been before. They (currently) taste/smell and appear like spaghetti sauce poured on boiled potatoes.They used to be a beautiful stewed garlicky sweet tomato sauce.Again, I have been going for 45 years.☹️?
Please never close. I am never disappointed with the food.

Unusual combo of Greek and Indian dishes, I had an excellent Dal dish. My son's Lassi drink was subpar. Somewhat upscale setting but still reasonable prices.

Gyro was good flavor the only issue was the meat was cold. I haven’t had to return food for almost 20 years but between not wearing gloves when handling food and cold gyro meat that was explained as being cold because the tzatziki sauce was cold. I just returned the sandwich to them and didn’t try a remake.

Food is super delicious and the service was amazing! Had a lemon drop and the 3 for 20$ appetizers with the lamb entree. Definitely recommend this place, it is on the small side but they do take reservations.

I recently had lunch here for a special occasion. It was pretty cool, by the window where we sat. The staff was shorthanded, only one waitress on duty and the resturant was busy. Someone from the kitchen came out and helped her. I was disappointed as it was my friends first time there. I know it normally is much better.
