Anatolian Restaurant in Monmouthshire

Lovely food, and good portions. I would have given 5 stars but I found the service to be a little rushed, I felt like they wanted us in and out . Overall I would say it was expensive but perhaps I am comparing to prices previously.

Our son lived in Turkey for several years so we appreciate good Turkish cuisine. This place is simply exceptional. I had a lamb kebab on garlic yoghurt. I’ve never had better lamb, so tender and bursting with flavour. My wife was equally impressed with the chicken she had.. We finished by sharing a home made Baklava: yummy. Service was good and friendly. The only odd thing is the decor, inherited from a previous owner: plaster (?) depictions of Welsh Castles. There was a good selection of wine including Bollinger at £91.00

We came here for lunch as a family while passing through Abergavenny. The food was delectable - large, beautifully presented portions and a wide range of dishes! The general atmosphere of the restaurant was also very cosy and authentic. Service was quick and the wonderful staff were so open and welcoming. Would definitely visit again - this place is deservedly No1!

Excellent and friendly service and the food was absolutely delicious! Good options for vegetarians and generous portions. I’ll most certainly be coming back.

Посмотрели отзывы, решили зайти и не ошиблись. Прекрасная еда, отличный сервис, веселые доброжелательные официанты. Еду подали быстро, всё было очень вкусно и красиво. Чудесно посидели.

Best chicken sheesh I've had in a long, long time!

Food is amazing,the best Turkish restaurant around I heard that the chef who makes food here is a guy with many rewards and is a master chef so I recommend everyone giving a try as the food is absolutely amazing I’ll go back for more again !!! 😍😍😍🍗🍗

Very good experience, we will definitely come back! Well done to the owners

Mid afternoon meal so not really any atmosphere, but staff made up for that really helpful and attentive. Starters were a meal on their own. Mains were also filling and very tasty.

Delicious. Gluten free and vegetarian options and very very good.

I had know idea this beautiful restaurant was even here. We visited the Abergavenny one last week. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful and very relaxing. The food is outstanding and full of flavour. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. Cocktails are good to. I look forward to returning.

First visit yesterday had the mixed grill everything cooked to perfection lovely restaurant and staff very nice as well we will be back

Food, excellent. Friendly welcoming service. Had a coffee to finish, good decision as it was up there with the best none of that nasty aftertaste & came with hot milk without having to ask. I had the Lamb Caserole. Lots of tender pieces of tasty Lamb, delicious & filling. Highly recommend 👌

Great food and service. Food was outstanding

We had a wonderful experience here. There are many reviews about the huge portions and authentic food. We want to comment on the service. If I wanted to hire a person for my business, I would hire the woman working in the front ;her name may be April). She was everywhere, seating people, making cocktails, serving food, handling bills. She was cheerful and efficient and made us feel so welcome and valued. There was a young man also editing tables, and we watched him work effortlessly also. What a team!!! Hire them both!

The staff are exceptional and very welcoming and went above and beyond to help us. Cleanliness 5 out 5. You can believe the other reviews; the food is fantastic.

Not such a friendly place, but they still added on 10% service charge. No second visit or recommendation passed on.

Excellent quality authentic food, great service . Prices for food and drink very reasonable.We would definitely eat here again when visiting.

Top quality food and great portion sizes. I ate here with my family and we all agreed that it was one of the best meals we’d ever had. Staff are friendly and attentive and the prices are reasonable.

A wonderful place no words can express how I feel about this place

Best i had without going to Turkey….. amazingly

Great traditional Turkish food. Had the aubergine shakshuka and kofta. Cannot complain. Chicken Kofta was well seasoned, plenty of onion, cumin and seasoning. Meat was fatty and lots of olive oil - but that's the point! It's traditional food, not macro-food 😜 For healthier options they have a grill section. But slightly pricier compared the bargain £16 lunch deal (starter + main). Home made starter also came with freshly fired homemade flat bread. Best bread me and my friend have had in a while! That should tell you something 😉

Great food! The staff was very accommodating even though we just dropped in on a Saturday without reservation.

Great food, bread was very nice that we had for starters. Did get the order wrong for the main. But it was a mistake and I didn’t mind waiting another 5 minutes. I actually preferred it so I could digest my starter and all the beautiful bread.

The food was excellent, and the portions were so generous that I ended up taking some home in a box. Service was flawless. No sooner had someone started looking at WiFi for the baby's tablet, a card appeared with the WiFi password. The waitress even managed to soothe a teething baby - fair play, it wasn't my baby and I wouldn't know where to start with that task, she definitely went above and beyond the call of duty! The inside of the restaurant has been plastered to resemble the inside of a Cappadocian cave, which is quite impressive really! While the mains were excellent, the photos of the desserts made it fairly clear they were all bought in frozen, so we skipped that.

Really excellent and authentic food, family run …delightful staff and atmosphere…will definitely come again! Music spot on!! 😃

Food is amazing, we've been a few times now and it's our favourite place to go! Staff are so friendly and helpful and are amazing with my little boy. Portion sizes are very good and prices reflect the amount you get. Worth every penny! The food is served fast and fresh, perfect every time! Highly recommend 👌

What a lovely experience!! Staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Service swift, food piping hot and beautiful. Excellent choice on the menu. The restaurant and facilities are immaculate. It was my partner’s birthday and they were so accommodating; they made him feel really special by bringing his cake out, singing happy birthday Turkey style and giving us all tasty complimentary cocktails. Such a lovely night for my family. Thank you, we will be returning and recommending you to everyone!! Xx

Nice choice of interesting dishes

Fantastic food (incredible bread) And great service. Thank you

The Anatolian hosted a Wedding Reception for us. The staff were incredibly helpful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was as we wanted it. The food was excellent. They catered for a vegan and gluten free guest. All our guests were complimentary. The staff even led us dancing around the restaurant. All in all, great food, service and atmosphere. Thank you for adding to a memorable day and making it completely stress free.

Delicious food, ample portions, friendly service, and pleasant atmosphere. Best falafels we've ever had.

Beautiful food and great service

We came on a late night when everything was closed, they were the only ones that still served us, we were treated with hospitality, kindness and care. The food was amazing, some of the best we'd ever had especially consideringsome of our family comes from Anatolia. We were given free tea, baklava and they kept the restaurant open for us whilst we finished. Would recommend to anyone and everyone for a delicious dinner at reasonable prices made with care in a beautifully decorated restaurant.

Staff were lovely. Food came quick and was tasty. Couldn’t ask for more.

Went for lunch today and had the main menu and even thought the bill came to £80 it was worth every penny. Fantastic service, the most beautiful food!!!! Cannot wait to go back next week!!!!

Absolutely stunning food plenty of it beautiful decor staff couldn't do enough for you reasonably priced can't wait to go again 😍

Incredible food and great service. Highly recommended.

Adana Kofte was incredible. All the mezes we tried were amazing. Would go back a hundred times if we lived here.

We booked, and we were pleased that we did, as the restaurant was very busy (on a Thursday night). There was a complimentary bread and dips. We then shared the cold meze followed by lamb shish (me) and mixed lamb and chicken shish (husband). The lamb was delicious asx was the salad that came with it. The mixed shish disappeared, so can only assume it was equally good. Front of house was efficient and very friendly.

It’s one ward for enough to say delicious food meat was tender enough lamb was so good well cooked all over it’s best Turkish cuisine in Abergavenny

Myself & my wife spent the evening there celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. We'll recommend for sure food was superb. Service excellent made us very welcome.

Always delicious, particularly the lamb dishes

I always leave the nicest food till last but this posed a problem here because everything was perfect. I had the mixed kebab and the three meats were beautifully seasoned and presented. The vegetarian option was interesting and delicious as well. Desserts were not too big and sickly. A great experience.

A beautiful place, the decor is lovely. The food was delish! We were given a bread platter with chilli, garlic dip and olives as complimentary. My friend and i had the mix fish kebab, salad and chips and she had mash. My other friend had lamb and rice. It was amazing. Thank you for the great customer service and attention to detail. We will definitely be back. The wine was lovely too. Plus we were given ice cold water too. X

Cannot fault anything about dinner there this evening. Food was excellent, service was attentive and friendly, atmosphere was relaxed. 2nd time there and will definitely go again.

Lovely food shame about service straight after food asked us to move tables as they had a bigger group come didn't even finish our drinks

We were a group of 6 diners, and we enjoyed a fabulous meal sharing mezze dishes and grilled meats. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was courteous and attentive without being intrusive.

Lovely welcome, the service and the food was excellent.

Great hospitality, authentic Turkish food and drink, what’s not to like? We really enjoyed our two evening meals at the Anatolian Restaurant. Highly recommended.

Love this place ,We ordered alot of food off the menu and it was all delicious, the best was the sword fish, atmosphere was amazing it was like been on holiday and i had the best cocktail I've ever had , waiters were polite and friendly very welcoming highly recommend.

We visited this restaurant after recommendation from our hotel and it didn't disappoint. Fantastic welcome, delicious and plentiful food. Will definitely return

We took our friends here today and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was incredible as usual, but what made it amazing, was Semih's level of service. He was fantastic on every level and made the experience very enjoyable. Can't wait to go back, just wish it was in Newport, so I could go all the time.

Harika!! Beautiful restaurant serving the most delicious food. The Turkish customs and cultures can all be found here, and I was welcomed in the traditional Turkish way - conversation and of course Turkish tea. They made a custom wrap for me which was delicious, and for the first time I tried Şalgam suyu, an aquired taste but none the less very nice! Güzel yemekler ve insanlar, tesekkurler. I will be back 😊

Great food bit spicy on price bit well worth a visit

Great place, with superb food and very friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Best lamb ribs ever. Great service and great food. I strongly recommend it to anyone.

Lovey authentic Turkish food and priced reasonably.

This was a fabulous place to eat! The owner was very interesting to talk to and the food was delicious and plentiful!

It was our Daughters 40th. Food very good, which is reflected in the price. Yes we will return.

Absolutely delicious. Four shared a meal for 4. Took what we didn't manage to eat home to enjoy another dinner.

Really enjoyed my experience at Anatolian. We had not booked a table but were allocated one anyway as we came before the busy evenings bookings. For starters we had the hot meze platter, would recommend this, very tasty with plenty of choice. For mains we had lamb chops and mixed kebab (kofta & shish). Let me tell you, this lamb is some of the best I have tasted, cooked to perfection. Drinks were a little expensive, but great choice of options. Waiters/waitresses were very attentive. Will be visiting again the next time we visit South Wales.

I have had lovely meals from here in the past, a couple of times I have woken up with a dicey stomach the next morning. Now I have read in the newspaper that the owner of this restaurant is the same owner of the Marmaris Kebab house that caused a food poisoning outbreak. Apparently Mr Saritag is the actual owner not the guy sami is the front man. Won't be going here again.!

Restaurant review of Anatolian Turkish Restaurant Abergavenny @anatolianturkishrestaurant1 We ate here on the Sunday bank holiday and we were the last table to come in 9pm, they gave us a great table in the corner at the back of the restaurant. Perfect table for us. One of the best restaurants I've eaten in. Swipe to see all pictures We ordered the set menu for x4 , which was great value for money. (Swipe to see what was included) The food is cooked over charcoal, giving it a great traditional Turkish BBQ flavour, all the meat was marinated in various spices, and served with a huge portion of rice, pearl barley and salad. The decor was very unique and traditional. The highlight for me was the service. Our two servers couldn't have done enough for us, thank you so much to April & Ismail , you really elevated the experience for us. I will be recommending the restaurant to everyone I know. Bravo and see you soon 👏👏👏 Ben

Just had the two course lunch menu £15 a head lovely food delightful service and great value

Very expensive and the owners are quite greedy with it, adding things to the bill they shouldn’t add. I don’t remember it being this expensive the last time but we all agreed we wouldn’t rush back at these prices. £24 for a kebab and £7 for hummus with no bread (just as examples) is far too expensive

Absolutely delicious foods and very kind service! I highly recommend their tasty foods.

One of our favourite local restaurants, the food is consistently excellent and the welcome is always warm.

I definitely recommend All the food is great ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a lovely Turkish restaurant. We were travelling back to England and decided to stop in Abergavenny and enjoy some Turkish food. It's quite pricey but the restaurant is very pretty and so is the delicious food. Pay and display Car park a short walk away but it's located on the main road so you maybe lucky to get on street parking.

Visited with no prior knowledge of the restaurant. Absolutely loved it, certainly an interesting & unique decor inside. Food was lovely, couldn't fault it. Recommended.

It's rare to find a combination of amazing lovely friendly staff and super tasty food. Book your table now, your belly will thank you. 😊

lovely place to eat ,great welcome ,friendly staff and above all an amazing meal ,we had the lamb casserole it was cooked to perfection ,would thoroughly recommend

Wonderful food. Grilled fish, salad, and I have no idea how mash potato can taste that good. Service was good too.

Everything about this restaurant is fabulous. We had an awesome 4 hours of deliciousness. Service with a smile, true service. Place was nicely busy, great buzz. Abergavenny from Caerphilly is a distance but we will certainly be back.

Great food and service and a waiter that looked after us for the whole meal We will definitely return the next time we’re in Abergavenny Thank you Adrian

Lovely restaurant. Fantastic food with great portions. The bread was a particular highlight. The decor is a bit out there but the atmosphere is great.

Took our two young boys and baby here on a Sunday night. Amazing friendly service, incredible food, fabulous atmosphere! Would highly recommend. One of the best Turkish restraints I’ve been too!

Lovely atmosphere. Really welcoming and helpful staff- waitress leant me her reading glass as I forgot mine, and then advised me on excellent menu choices ! Food was really authentic Turkish and delicious. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning when we next visit Abergavenney. Thank you Anatolian! xx

Great food and crazy interior. We came across this place by accident and it was rammed on a week day early evening. Must have been because of the food which was excellent as was the service. It has a crazy interior like you are in a cave with murals and the odd shrine!

We would love to give a huge thanks for delivering the food even though the delivery service was closed. We truly enjoyed all the food that was cooked to a highest standards and presented / wrapped carefully. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food away from home 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Had a birthday meal at Anatolian. Lovely hot tasty food. Excellent service and a warm welcoming atmosphere.

Popped in here on a Monday evening. Great welcome and service. Plenty of people eating here even on a wet evening in March. Choice was excellent and food was really generous and very tasty. Musakka was very well received; cold Mezze also. We will be back when next in the area.

Tasty food. Good quality. It's not casual dining though, as it's quite expensive. The service was efficient. We went on a Fri afternoon and it was quite quiet.

What a truly fantastic restaurant this is. We happened to go there on a Thursday night as we were in the town waiting to pick our daughter up from a party. Wow, are we glad we did. From the moment they brought out the complimentary bread, olives and dips we were hooked. The 3 courses we tried were all wonderfully cooked and very tasty. We had a mixture of shish, lamb , hot meze and some more tradition Turkish food which you don’t see on menus very often at all. We experienced excellent service from each of the 3 waiters that evening who were eager to help and serve us. The baklava is the best I have tasted and we have travelled for many years to Turkey for our annual holidays so have a little experience in Turkish food. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of Turkish house wine which was very good and suited the meal very well. We found it so good that we booked to return the following weekend while we were there and brought some other members of our family. They too had the same delight as us from the food and service. Again, it was so good that we booked another table for the following week and took a new set of family members to sample the food. As we thought, they enjoyed the restaurant as equally as we did. I had a different lamb dish on each visit and was impressed each time and with each course at how tender and tasty the meat was. Lamb chops we superb, my Iskender kebab was fantastic, the hummus and lamb was a triumph, the chicken casserole was tasty, filling and plentiful, the babar ganoush was amazing, the fish casserole was packed with meaty pescitarian delights and the chicken beyti was big enough for two. The 2 tradition Turkish desserts can’t be faulted and I had to order 1 of each to share with my wife as they are so good - the best rice pudding and baklava ever! There are a few certainties I have come to find here - the food is delicious, the service excellent and you will NOT leave the restaurant hungry. Portion sizes are very generous and this is coming from a diner who can eat quite a lot. My only complaint is that we live too far away to go there every week! There is very good wheelchair access to the restaurant (my daughter uses one) and the staff are eager to hold doors open and assist in any way they can. Just one thing that could be improved, the wheelchair access to the toilet is not brilliant but this could easily be made very much better by having the accessible toilet door opening outwards instead of in. Having said that, my daughter managed (just) to access and use the toilets with the help of her mother. So, please could you possibly change the door to open out instead of in?? That would make this restaurant an 11 out of 10 for us. We will definitely be returning and very soon, it is just too good not too. Thanks Anatolian, tekrar görüşürüz dostlarım

I go here every time I visit the area. On this occasion the lamb ribs were meaty, succulent and welll seasoned. Just delicious food.

We enjoyed the food. Service was good.

Beautiful food, excellent service we frequently visit and have enjoyed every dish every time

Highly recommended if you are looking for freshly made authentic Turkish food. All meat dishes are cooked over a charcoal grill and are delicious! Friendly, fun service and great atmosphere to go with it!

I go there regularly, food is great and staff are very friendly. Variety of Turkish cuisine dishes, all delicious. Very clean, modern furniture

Superb service, food was excellent and the ambience was lovely. The staff were so attentive and the decor is beautiful.

Warm bread with dips to start - amazing. Home made yoghurt was superb. Kebabs were full of flavour and well cooked with a good range of accompaniments including barley risotto with the rice and more creamy yoghurt. We will definitely return. Thank you.

Restaurant was very helpful and accommodating for a booking of 42 people. Communication was great and all food was delicious and out in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend!

I'm not sure anywhere beats this restaurant in Abergavenny. The place is so beautiful. Lighting was perfect. Beautifully decorated walls. The sitting arrangement is just spot on. Service could not be better. Very friendly host. He did a great job, and it made my time in place so comfortable. Cocktails were so well made. And the food was superb. I look forward to visiting soonest.

Excellent food Staff were very nice and food came on time . Food was fresh and very delicious . If you are looking for a turkish restaurant you have to come to Anatolian.
