Anatolia Restaurant 251-253 Mare Street, London E8 3NS

"It is a great place to feast with family and friends. The portions are very large and the prices are quite good. Especially mix kebab is a must-try. Salads and appetisers that come with the dish are so good that you can be full while eating them. Besides, sutlac ( rice pudding) was one of the best dessert we have eaten in a long time. Employees are always ready to help you also hygiene and cleanliness of the place is very good. It is a large and spacious place."

"Excellent Turkish restaurant. Lovely staff, great food and big portions ! We had the Lamb with yoghurt sauce, incredibly yummy and served with plenty of sides. Nice atmosphere too."

"I was always told check the toilet cleanliness before eating in a restaurant. If the toilets are clean then you can be assured the kitchen will be, i will say no more with establishment. This place is Terrible, stay away and save your money. Tasteless lamb soup, lentil soup not much better, soggy salad that was well past its best and should never of been served. A brown colour salad is never a good sign. My partners tea was cold and she asked it to be removed from the bill, the manager claimed it was hot and refused to credit it and said no free drinks here. Very short sighted by the manager and goes without saying we will not return. My partner is Turkish so I've had plenty of experience with Turkish restaurants and this hands down is the worst. Now I know why it was empty when we arrived prime time at 7.30pm. If you want bad food, bad service, and arrogance then look no further. Bad value, worn out and dirty inside."

"I had lamb doner and it was raw and had more nerve and fat then meat. They offer small or large. It was really small. I couldn't even eat quarter of it. Do they weigh the portion?"

"Old school but Service is not included in the bill so leaving a tip for your server should you choose to eat in is good move. Luckily i was dining with someone who had cash so we were able to leave a tip. I know its not the common thing anymore to always carry cash and we thought a tip would be able to be added through the card machine. Prices are very fair and portions are great. We asked for meals that had no dairy or meat so were given the "vegetarian" option. When the food was brought over chilli and garlic sauce was given which again i had to ask "is there any butter, cheese or milk in it" to which the server said "dont have that one" but it was left on the table. The "vegetarian" option the server showed me was rice, salad and cooked mixed vegetables including potato, sweet peppers and okra cooked in a tomatoey sauce. All was tasty. I have eaten many a falafel wrap from here but never had a sit in meal. Topped up with hummus and Turkish tea we were good to go."
