Anatolia Sea View in Fylde

Absolutely beautiful food. I just wish the background music was Turkish too.

Really great food, very tasty and good portions, plenty of choice, good service, room very large but effective background music and pictures.

Have been once before & were disappointed as much of the choice was unavailable because of supply issues due to Covid. THIS visit was much better. Arrived without booking & quickly seated by view of sea (& sunset). Staff took our drinks order & opted for a Turkish wine (which we like) & reasonable price (£27). Although we love Turkish meze (hot or cold) our appetites are not what they were so we opted for a main course only. Hubby selected a lamb shank in a spicy tomato & wine sauce & I went for the grilled lamb chops. Hubby’s came with cooked seasonable veg & Turkish rice & mine had a salad & Turkish rice. The portions were very generous - I had 4 chops which were cut thicker than I am used too for this dish & I could only manage 3 (hubby had other one). We were also provided with some Turkish flat bread & a dip (not had the dip before but was nice). All in all & even though the Turkish rice was different to what we are used too (different regions have their own variations) we thoroughly enjoyed our food. We didn’t opt for a sweet as full but I had a Turkish Coffee which was perfect. Well worth the total cost (which wasn’t expensive) & staff were very efficient & attentive including the manager who I practised some of my Turkish with. Would definitely visit again if in area

Excellent food and service tonight, highly recommended. We visited with our two year old that decided she no longer liked juice on her ice cream, the manager immediately fixed the situation with no request or hesitation! It’s the little things in life 😂 thank you 😊 we will be back again

Great food ! Friendly staff and owner is interesting fella and has a chat ! Sea view and bonus can park motorhome outside and camp.

OMG. I saw the reviews and in particular the one by Pugsontour which acclaimed this place. Booking was so easy and the owner replied immediately with a warm invite. Just 1 minute from town and plenty of parking. Up a flight of stairs (or lift is available) and we were greeted by gentlemen Velli. Wow, what a host! Invited us to our seats and menus were provided. Such a great menu was only surpassed by the most wonderful welcoming waitress Lola. She was attentive and so kind and professional. We have never ever met such a lovely person ever ❤ ♥ 💕 The food was sublervative. The portions were massive. I didn't need to look at my bill because everything was ab fab. Many thanks to my mate Liam for this recommendation. Going back soon.

Rude service and below average food.

The owner and staff were brilliant and the food was probably the best I have ever tasted. We went for my husband's 60th birthday and we could not have picked any where better. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely meal staff were helpful and attentive but we felt cold the whole time we were there, I had to put my coat back on but it didn't spoil the meal

Excellent choice when looking for Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine. This restaurant is perfect for all occasions, whether it’s for a romantic dinner, meeting with friends or celebrating birthday. The menu is great and the bar provides a wide range of options. ✌️❤️

Great food and service portions we're massive!!!

Just a short walk from St. Annes town you will find this heavenly restaurant. We have been every few weeks as we are lucky to live nearby. Spotless clean restaurant Beautiful views Warm welcoming staff Extensive menu Huge portions Best food we have ever tasted and far better than anywhere locally or even in Turkey where we go regularly Cant wait to return again to see Veli and his fantastic team again

I had one of the best nights of my life last night... A few very close old friends got together for an important birthday at Anatolia Sea View All of whom took covid tests without me asking - I loved them for that. My adopted brother Veli (his sweet idea when my sister died) treated us like kings and queens, the welcome, the hugs the hospitality... oh my and the food! We felt like royalty. Now listen to this, he knows I am shielding because of fragile elderly relatives so we went in very very early and he made sure no one else was in the restaurant! Everyone started arriving as we were leaving. Not only that Veli knew mum is house bound so he made her a little take out. I cried, I have never been treated like this. To my brother Veli you and your family and your restaurant are just outstanding. Last night will stay with me forever, your thoughtfulness was out of this world, talk about going the extra mile. Wow.. I don't know how to say thank you other than asking my friends to see for themselves how fantastic you and your restaurant are (book early if you do because he gets really busy, understandably) Thank you Veli Kirk and Ayse Kirk not many people can leave me speechless.

What can I say the place, food, staff & owner are absolutely amazing. I am currently recovering from a broken ankle & the staff were so attentive making sure that I was so well looked after. The food is outstanding, I had the Lamb parcels & my Hubby had the Lamb shank both arrived hot & with rice, it’s making me hungry writing this. I have a slight food intolerance & again the staff checked that anything that I ordered was suitable. Atmosphere so lovely & chilled. Johanna our waitress was an absolute star. What a gem of a place, we will definitely be back

Went here for my 50th as the thai was booked up. We were not disappointed, good service, tasty food. Had some banter with the owner, deffinatly recommended if your in the area.

I rarely review places but have just returned from this restaurant and felt impelled to share my experience. My daughter suffers from a severe nut and sesame seed allergy and the owner of this restaurant could not have done more to try and accommodate us. He reassured my 11 year old daughter that she would be able to order whatever she wanted, then asked the kitchen to make her chosen dish from scratch. The food was not only superb homemade food but the service was second to none. We will certainly be heading back here next time we are in the area! Thank you

We ordered the set meal for 2 and everything was delicious! The mixed bbq was soooo good, especially the lamb chops. Just make sure you’re hungry when you go because they serve BIG portions!

Looking for a local restaurant to seat eleven of us with a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters. Booked at Anatolia as we had been before and always had a good experience. The service was excellent and the food was delicious as always. I was delighted with the whole evening.

Visited with fiends on a recommendation,3 times 1 of my fiends ordered to get the original request,not even an apology,after our meal we asked could we order another round of drinks to be told a flat NO at 10pm so we pad out £250 for 5 people and left,never Again

Fantastic food with great quick service. Lovely view of the bay too. Recommended

Fantastic food and service. Went to celebrate a birthday and the staff made a fuss of the birthday boy and gave out a decorated plate with a sweet on it. One of the party was unable to finish the pizza they ordered and was given a take away box to allow them to take it home without it being requested. Unfortunately unable to fully appreciate the view due to time of year and it was dark but did not detract from the atmosphere. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and well layed out so not intrusive of other customers. Prices higher than a bistro pub but the quality of the food was reflected by this. A definite favourite and well deserved of the 5 stars given

Excellent cocktails, food and service. Faultless.

Always a great welcome here from Veli and his team. Great choice of food, excellent service and very good value. One of our favourite St. Anne's restaurants.

Wow wow wow!!!! We go to Turkey twice a year and have therefore have eaten in dozens Turkish restaurants. We can say hands down that this is by far the best we have EVER had. We have been to all the local restaurants and this is #1 by far. Booking is extremely easy online and you get a reply within minutes. Restaurant is centrally placed just off town centre with plenty parking. Beautiful view. Upon entering the beautifully decorated spotlessly clean restaurant, we were welcomed like old friends returning. Very soon, the star of the show arrived who is the owner called Velli. The whole time, he was going round ensuring everyone was happy. The lovely waitress (from Warton) was absolutely unbelievably welcoming and took time to explain items to us. Don't listen to rubbish someone said about staff being rude and I never trust any reviews when they have only done 1 review. Menu has something for everyone. We chose to share 2 starters which were Lamb rolls and peperami skewers. The pastry on the rolls melted in my mouth. We were off to a brilliant start and then moved to mains. I had spaghetti & meatballs. The portion was huge and the food was EXCEPTIONAL. Wifey had moussaka which she said was best ever. I had a little taste and have to agree. Unusually, I asked Velli if I should also have garlic bread and he said no, there is enough food already. He was right, we could't eat it all! With a bottle of wine and all this beautiful food, it was only £70. So good, I have booked to go back next week to this Velli Velli beautiful find

My wife, daughter and 2 1/2 year o,d granddaughter and I went for dinner last Wednesday. Greeted by the owner . A man who was excellent with our granddaughter! We’d booked a table bu the window with views which I’d picked up on in other reviews Multiple staters were very good. But the absolutel standouts were the mains. We followed reviews again and had various lamb dishes. I had the hour slow cooked lamb shank…perfection. The others had lamb chops which they adored. Incidentally a main was four lamb chops! The service was delightful. When I got the bill I was delighted . I wanted to give20% tip but they didn’t take tips on cards. I went into stAnnes found a hole in the wall and returned. More importantly wewill return. It’s a real , authentic gem of a place.

This place is so lovely! Nice relaxed atmosphere, even though would have liked to have heard some authentic music. The staff are really lovely people The menu is varied and interesting. The food is beautifully presented with generous portion sizes and it was absolutely divine. Will definitely be revisiting and would definitely recommend.

Omg what an amazing place. Outstanding food and coming from glasgow where tjeres may medditernan food this is the best ever and I mean ever Cheese rolls give me more Mixed grill words can't desecribe how amazing this was and as for the flat bread I died and went to heaven People of st annes you don't no what you are missing I'm also a coach driver and have travelled allover uk this is number 1 without a doubt

Really nice place with friendly staff. The food was quite good and the interior was very clean. I ordered steak but when it arrived it was not done how I ordered it, so the chef made an entirely new one and sent it and it was done exactly how I wanted it done.

A huge restaurant, really nicely set out with a supporting Mediterranean theme. Staff were really nice and the service was great. As you can see the kitchen from the seating area you can see how clean it was in there as well as all the public areas. The food was fantastic. The boss even took time to go around each table to ensure everyone was happy with their meal and thanked them when they were leaving. This is a very well run business, (in terms of food, service and environment) plus there is a great sea view.

This place is a hidden gem, great spot on balcony overlooking the beach, all 4 starters and mains were perfect (no room for dessert), service was exemplary, the perfect place to eat, 10/10

Overlooking the Irish st annes pier,free parking. We had a lovely meal and the service was second to none, starter,main course ,dessert and a bottle of wine,all for the price of £99,not bad for a three course meal with with wine Nd a couple of...

Lovely place to eat, vegetarian options are fantastic, great value for money, excellent service and a sea view!

Food and drinks were amazing, service was good from the boy and the young blonde girl except there was a young girl with extremely inappropriate trousers on with my young grandson with us and other young children present, she seemed to rush service which came across a little bit rude, compliments to the bar staff and the chefs

Setting is lovely looking out into the beach. Food is fab and lots of choice We ate chicken shisk and moussaka which were tasty. Didn’t feel rushed and staff were very helpful. The manager made a point of speaking to each table which was a...

I had the honour of actually meeting the owner! By chance I happened upon this place when in need of food. Long story. Anyway, I ended up in this restaurant with delightful, panoramic views over the Irish sea. I may have visited at just the right time or the one chance in a million, but the sun, dropping, faster than you think actually, was lighting the sporadic clouds with a golden, pinkish glow. It was all so idyllic. So I was lucky to meet the owner as they had, just, finished serving. We seemed to hit it off and he got me some food. Bloody Good food too! I'm awfully soft when it comes to hot food. I don't mind spice and flavours, just not heat, and I told mein host this. He personally cooked me some chicken, gently placed them to rest upon a base of lemon drizzled, green salad and then covered with thinly sliced onion and tomato. All this was assembled upon the lightest, home made, naan breads you will ever have the joy of experiencing! I won't name the owner because the internet is awful but if you ever find yourself in Lytham St Annes with a hunger upon you might I suggest Anatolia on the Sea front. Tell them George Pantaloni sent you for a discount. 😁

What an incredible restaurant, we visited with friends, great communication for booking and an excellent welcome. Superb, friendly service and wonderful sea view. The food was incredible from the meze to the Turkish bread and the kebabs to the special sauce, outstanding! We will be...

We visited here with our family after a visit to the cinema. They were busy but managed to seat us quickly. The restaurant has a lovely relaxed feel and the owner was great. We ordered garlic bread and cheese for the kids starters and they...

بالنسبة للاكل ماحبينا الاسكندر لكن بعض اهلي حبوا التكة والبيتزا الي استقبلنا عند الباب شكله المدير كان وقح ويستظرف بشكل سيء وبغينا نطلع حتى الستاف كانوا عاديين المكان زين بس فيه اغاني وازعاج بشكل عام ما انصح لكن الخيارات بهالمنطقة محدودة للاسف ومايشبه الاكل التركي ابداً تعليق حديث رد على تعليقهم دولتي من ارقى واغنى الدول وفيها ارقى المطاعم واغلى المطاعم العالمية ورحنا كل المطاعم بكل الدول وكنا نسأل عن اذا في مكان للجلوس مميز وكانوا ببساطة يقولون لا ويتاسفون مو يردون برد سيء ويتهمونا بعدم الاحترام ليش ؟ عشان سالنا اذا في مكان على الشاطئ ؟

The manger not friendly.. no good welcome .

Our first visit to Anatolia Sea View recently and we were expecting it to be good because of the many excellent reviews; it didn’t disappoint. We were greeted warmly, served quickly, but not hurried at all, and generally looked after very well. The food was...

Been coming to the restaurant for a few years now, this time took our friends at the last minute hoping they would share the same experience, nobody was let down the food was amazing. The staff were friendly as always. One of my favourite restaurants to go . Can’t wait to return . Many thanks again Tanya x

Excellent food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Best in Lytham St Annes Staff were amazing and definitely went the extra mile for us.

The food here is amazing, we have been here a few times now and whenever we are in the area we always visit, the experience is amazing and well worth visiting if you’re in the area highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed.

I came to Anatolia for my birthday and the food was amazing, I had the steak which was cooked to perfection! The atmosphere inside is great and the staff are all so friendly.

Visited whilst on a mini break in the area. Lovely restaurant with excellent staff and great sea views. We opted for the mixed grill for 2 which followed a selection of cold meze. Everything was tasty and served in copious amounts. Excellent value for money....

Fantastic food and staff. Meals were delicious and I'd recommend the adani shish kebab and amazing secret sauce. The Turkish flat bread is a great accompaniment.

Amazing food. Great service and interaction with the maitre d / manager. Would definitely return and highly recommend

Incredible food and service. Would definitely recommend and come again. This is the 3rd time we've been and we've had the same level of quality every time.

What an outstanding restaurant in a beautiful setting. Staff are so friendly and make the dining experience very pleasurable, the restaurant itself is bright modern and has a great ambience. The food is delicious and perfectly cooked and well presented. Great chefs creating great food!...

Amazing customer service, in a fabulous restaurant. We were made to feel very special celebrating our Anniversary, the food, atmosphere and service was exceptional. Thank you to the whole team for such a great experience.

This restaurant is well-located with nice sea views. We expected authentic Turkish drinks such as salgam and ayran. We ordered starters including the mixed meze, avci boregi and sucuk. The lamb meat balls were v good and a generous portion as a starter. We had...

Horrible customer service and incredibly rude waiting staff. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a rude encounter! We had booked a table for 5 at 5pm on a Sunday literally 30 mins prior to arriving and we were told that there was availability. When...

I love this restaurant and have visited many times . Unfortunately last night we were badly let down . I attended with a group of friends , some for the first time. The Restaurant was beautiful as usual and the service was really friendly and...

Authentic Turkish food. High quality ingredients cooked in an open kitchen. Highly recommended! Fabulous choice and quality and excellent service. Great choice of wines including some Turkish wine that is well worth ordering.

We visited Anatolia twice in the last week and it was delicious food each time. In fact, it is one of our favourite restaurants! We received a warm welcome upon arrival, excellent service with a brief waiting time for food. Staff are always pleasant and...

WOW! Absolutely fantastic. From the service to the food this place is 10 out of 10. Cocktails are lovely too! We will certainly be coming back soon.

Found this restaurant through Trip Adviser and previous reviews. Firstly, what a wonderful position it is in with sea views. Secondly, the owner was so friendly and helpful. Last but certainly not least, the food was amazing - we had hummus and Turkish bread to...

The food is always very tasty & well presented, there is so much variety on the menu that you could be spoiled for choice, I normally order the Chicken Skewers which come with a really tasty sauce. Don’t forget the ice cold EFES beer. The...

Chose this hotel and booked in advance. We asked if it was halal and they responded saying it was. Plenty of parking outside, even on a Saturday evening. The staff were really good and welcoming. The food was on point and tasted amazing. Service was...

We travelled and visited this restaurant while in the area. The food was good, it didn't blow me away but it was still good. I would happily return for another meal.

Delicious food, great service and a lovely view! The best thing about this place is the lovely staff and how friendly and caring they were making us feel very welcome and making sure everything was ok throughout. Can highly recommend. The lamd chops were amazing!

It was a pleasant surprise inside. A big open restaurant, would be even better on sunny day! I had Lamb rolls for starter and chicken in a cream sauce the meat was so succulent and tasty!

We arrived in St Anne’s on a Friday afternoon to atrocious weather so we decided to go for an early dinner and came across Anatolia Sea View. The food and service were great. My partner and I had the Meat Mezze platter, lovely bread and...

Ate at the Anatolia on Friday night 02/09/22. We had the set meal for two and to be fair it was really nice. The staff are very friendly and the place has lovely views out to the sea. I just wish they did a mid...

We enjoyed this large Turkish Restaurant over looking the sea. It was very busy with most of the seats taken. However the service was friendly, swift and attentive. We enjoyed the tastes and flavours, good portion sizes and served hot. My only negative thought was...

We ate here last night as a family of 5 (2 young children). The service was fabulous - we were seated straight away next to the window, with a beautiful sea view. The menu was mouth watering - with so much choice - we ordered...

Was recommended to eat here and all I can say is wow !!!!!!! Amazing serve,views and the tastiest chargrilled food ever !!!!! Portions are ample yet the quality is excellent!! I will definitely return !!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Loved absolutely everything about this restaurant. The food - mixed mezes to start followed by chicken and adana kebabs -was superb and very reasonably priced. Service was efficient and professional. It was busy during our visit hence there was a great atmosphere. We look forward...

Lovely atmosphere. Prompt service even when busy. Beautiful charcoal grilled meats and lots of other choice. 10/10 - would definitely recommend

We had a lovely evening meal here when holidaying in Lytham St Anne’s with a five year old. The restaurant was really accommodating for the little one. We ordered some dips and breads as a starter and they were really good. So good the picky...

We went here tonight for the second time (after visiting Lytham St Anne’s last year), all I can say is the food was fantastic. With 4 adults and 2 kids, the food wasn’t particularly cheap but it was out of this world. All the dishes...

As a lover of most things Turkish, I had to book this restaurant during our short stay in St Annes. My husband did warn me not be too excited as sea-side resorts don't usually offer the best quality food as they know customers are here...

The place, the food and the staff are all brilliant. Had a fantastic night there on Saturday for my birthday. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone really enjoyed the variety of food we all had. Can't wait to go again.

Superb food with exceptional service in a lovely setting. We had mainly lamb dishes which were super tasty and succulent. I had a chicken wings starter which was beautifully presented and so flavoursome. The setting is lovely overlooking the beach and sea. The service was...

So so so good. The food was brilliant and the staff were so lovely and friendly with my young son. My only small gripe would be the prices of some items. Just under a tenner for a little bit of sausage and a few slices...

I must admit the outside of the restaurant doesn’t look that appealing, so I wasn’t sure but step inside and it’s a lovely setting with views over the beach. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. The food was amazing, all 8 of us eating...

Loved it, great food from starters to deserts. Fresh meze to begin with loads of flavour, lamb shank is full of meat and mixed grill is exceptional value.

Had a lovely meal with friends. The view over the beach is great. The staff are very friendly. The food is fantastic. I do think the desserts are a little pricey as I had the cheesecake but it didn’t come with ice cream or cream...

This place doesn’t look much from the outside but inside it is a really nice restaurant, the staff are very friendly and we were told the owner who was very friendly does a lot of charity work. The food was first class and very tasty,...

Had a lovely birthday celebration with the family in an amazing setting. The food was authentic and plenty of choice on the menu, the staff were so nice and very helpful especially making sure my Granddaughter chose something that she would enjoy. Thank you to...

Good food and ambience. Enjoyed it.

Had a great meal here again. View was fantastic with a lovely sunset. Friendly staff and excellent food. Shared the mezes and Adana Shish. Finished with a great dessert! Highly recommend eating here when in St. Annes.

Excellent friendly service from Veli, Selvan and their team . Fantastic food , well worth a visit.

Booked a table here for my daughters birthday. We were given a table by the window and were able to watch one of our beautiful sunsets. Staff were great and happily explained about different dishes, were all very attentive and friendly and the food was...

Lovely local restaurant run by a great local family. Anatolia has been a great staple of St. Annes restauranting for years now, and there's great reason. The food is amazing quality, reasonably priced, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is always lovely. Totally recommend if you're heading to St. Annes!

Although as previous reviewers have stated the view is of a caravan park - if u look out it is of the beach & sea. Although we had booked & arrived on time we had to wait too be seated (basically ignored). Eventually seated inside...

We visited in April has a party of five. On arrival we was greeted with a very warm welcome and quick taken to our table with a Seaview. We ordered tomato garlic bread to start followed by our mains. We ordered the lamb keish and...

Had a great day out here , food upstairs , bar next door and beach out the back

Three Weeks ago on Friday evening, just to remind you with my visit, Never think to go there again because of the arrogant rude Turkish man, looks like the manager, I booked already before going , asked for a table for six , then we have my little daughter extra she is 6 months old for which I did not mention as she will not need a seat, a high chair, probably, then he offered table with no view at all, I asked for different table with a better view , he refused and started to speak about the safety as they offering hot food and staff like that, in a bad manner , I have been shocked from that way of talking especially with a restaurant has only 4 people eating inside, for which we left and went to Fish and chips restaurant, really I saw the different in people manner. Not sure why they dealt in that way, restaurant on the sea, Friday evening, 4 people inside, no surprise because of your attitude, how do you expect to survive ? But just to remind you man that we are paying money to enjoy, so you have to respect, Enjoy. Enjoy your view alone manager.

it was really amazing food 👌🏻👌🏻good service thank you

Great food, staff were very good with the kids too. First visit and would definitely visit again.

Delicious food and excellent service very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommended

Good food, good service and a nice menu that has a different style of dishes, and they are deliscious. They cater for gluten free by adapting any meal where possible.

Lytham is full of beautiful places

This was our second visit to the Anatolia, whilst we stayed in St Annes for the weekend and it was just as good as last time,food is amazing the staff are very attentive and work really hard asking if we are happy with our selection...

The place is amazing with a gorgeous sea view. The Staff was helpful and kind . Food us delicious except burgul. I definitely recommend it
