Let the Great Grilled Kebabs take your taste buds on a flavorful journey throughout the Mediterranean, or warm up with some Mercimek soup. Whether you're in the mood for sweet, savory, or smokey, the perfect dish is awaiting discovery at this lovely cafe.

A vegetarian diet does not equate to flavorless food. Far too many restaurants are guilty of providing options... but not good ones. At Anatolia's, all dishes are packed with flavor.
Cocktails and wines pair perfectly both with the atmosphere and your meal.

You would have never thought flavor this authentic exists in Northeast Ohio.
