Tried this place for the first time with another couple. The food was above average but the wine prices are 4 times retail which is insane. I asked the owner for an Armenian recommendation for wine and he suggested a bottle which we ordered. The wine was good and we decided to look it up online to maybe purchase in the future. We found the bottle for $17 and they were charging $70! We asked the owner about why the prices were so much over retail and his response was “no comment” with a grin. We thought he was joking but he just walked away. Paying two times over retail is normal but 4 times is totally uncalled for…but they did not seem to care. We liked the food enough to return, but after getting the complete disregard for our concern with wine prices, we will not return.

Very cozy place. Friendly staff.Kid-friendliness: Staff treat kids very nicely. Not bothered by their scream and jumping.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level so easy access.
Tried to like it. We had 1'st eaten here in 2022 and it was very good. Tried a 2'nd time and it wasn't good because our food was very undercooked (falafels). This is the 3'rd time, and we won't be back. Zucchini pancakes were soggy and undercooked in the middle but black on the outside, after waiting for them after everyone else at our table had already been served. Also expensive. One other friend didn't like taste of food, too bland. With so many good restaurants in town, we won't return to pay top prices for undercooked food. There were only 2 other tables with customers at this time. Hate to think what it's like when they get busy. One friend had a question about a dish, but the server had a real attitude about explaining it even though she clearly had the time.

We were visiting Williamsburg for the week and chose Anatolia Bar and Grill. We were so pleased with the quality of the food and the professionalism of the waiter and staff. We had a fabulous dinner and we will definitely go there next time we are in townVegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian dishesParking: Easy street parking.Kid-friendliness: There were young kids there with their parents. They were accepted by the restaurant.
Nice little place, fairly comfortable.Only one server on duty, so things a bit hectic.We order a hummus appetizer, a lamb shawarma, a chicken shawarma and a glass of Merlot.The hummus is presented almost immediately, and it's very good, albeit a bit meager in quantity based upon the price.This, is/was a harbinger of things to come.The shawarma orders are delivered with the shawarma, rice and salad all on one plate. Not an enormous amount of food. The food is excellent, I will be the first one to admit....But, and there is always a but, at this price level, $25, the meal should have been presented in different courses. The salad should have been served, followed by the main course. And for $25 there should have been food to take home.My wine was delivered half way through the meal, and I told her to take it away. She left it and said she would not charge for it.At the end, it was $80 for my wife and I to eat, and this didn't include the normal $10 charge for the merlot.That, most assuredly, is not $$ costing in our minds.The food was excellent, wish I could say the same for the value.

Food was overpriced and extremely bland. So was my husband’s food. No amount of salt and pepper could add any flavor to the food to make it more palatable so I just couldn’t eat any of it. The side yogurt sauce provided with dishes is literally plain yogurt with no flavor and the side salad tasted like it just had olive oil and no other flavors in the dressing. Chicken was tough, not tender. Really disappointing. I don’t know how this place has gotten so many good reviews, unless the owners are writing them themselves.

Food was amazing and staff was very nice. Wine selection was great and both the appetizers and entrees were all delicious. The only downside was that the prices were not reasonable for the amount of food you got. It was $16 dollars for an appetizer and you only got about 4 pieces on both the apps we got. Nonetheless, still very good tasting food!

Yum yum yum yum. So good. Great vegetarian options, great meat options. Lovely, friendly service. Everything was freshly made and high quality ingredients, even the side salad. It's not a snooty place but the wine recommendations were still very good. Just wonderful. We will definitely be back. Delicious: Cheese Bereg. Zucchini Pancakes, Iskender Kabob (this last one is not low calorie but holy moley is it good. Totally worth it.). Better than average: falafel baklava (both freshly made, not dried out or stale)
I invited several out-of-town friends to dinner. They loved the food and staff. They could not believe the customer service and great taste of the food. They shared pictures with family and friends the next day. I scored big on Anatolia!

We left restaurant still hungry! Dinner plates included 5 small pieces of chicken or 5 shrimps, one spoon of rice, small bunch of salad leafs and spoon of veggies. If you ordering lamb don’t expect it like on a picture, they will bring you tiny pieces of lamb and doesn’t matter if you ask medium rare they will still bring you well done.Also we ordered soup of the day and ayran and they never brought both of them.Also she never refilled our water cups!Don’t recommend this place !!!Kid-friendliness: No kids menu available!
