We loved the ambiance, service. wonderful food and great Turkish wines. This is the best food I have found in Herndon Virginia as the lamb chops and filet steak Kepabs are truly amazing. Very good value for the quality of food and wine they offer. Be sure to try the red Turkish blends. We also enjoyed meeting the owner and our server Hilal who are both from Turkey. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Nice to find a hidden gem in Herndon! Rico

Like most restaurants these days, Anatolian was understaffed so the service was not great. But they tried to be prompt and we appreciated their effort.

This was my first visit to Anatolian Bistro. This is the best Turkish restaurant I have been to in some time. The setting is simple, clean, and neat and the seating very comfortable. The savory malatya spicy chicken hot appetizer is not to be missed. It was delicious, and cooked perfectly. The main course, the Adana kebab dinner also was superbly done. The spicing was exquisitely done, the presentation attractive and the meal delicious. Finally, the kunefe is probably the best I have had outside of Türkiye. It was made fresh from scratch in the kitchen, and thus was as fresh as it could be. The food is prepared fresh in the kitchen for each meal. This has three impacts. First, and most importantly, each meal is freshly prepared and has not been sitting somewhere waiting to be reheated when ordered. Second, because of the personal, individual attention given to each meal in the kitchen, the food is more expensive than one might outside expect. That said, the meal is well worth the price. And third, this means that dinner will take more time than some may be used to. The food is so good it is well worth the wait, and that provides a nice time for relaxing and enjoying the company during dinner. Leisurely meals are valued in many parts of the world, even if the United States has lost its appreciation for such. Dining at the Anatolian Bistro provides a wonderful opportunity for rediscovering the joy of a leisurely meal with excellent food and the company of others. Highly recommended.
