They have a new chef and I have noticed much better food at lunch time! Nice atmosphere (tight but nice) tea, and food. Outside eating during summer is festive

My favorite restaurant in town. Great delicious food, excellent service! The staff creates a very positive atmosphere in the restaurant. I usually go taste new food in buffet menu W-F. Best buffet ever.
A personal favorite in Bloomington. They offer great value and food that'll fill you up. I've had probably 5 dishes and each had a wide array of tastes. The service has always been phenomenal.
As a local Chef it takes a lot to impress me. But Anatolia has gone beyond my expectations. It's simple and fresh food made absolutely right. I get the Shwarma Platter almost everyday.
Cozy Turkish restaurant with amazing food and wonderful, friendly service. The prices and portions are very good. The menu is compact but diverse, with many vegetarian and vegan options. The table bread and the lentil soup are worth a visit all by themselves. All the food is incredibly fresh, especially the humus and tzatziki. Try the beef gyro platter. The pides are like individual pizzas but better. I happily recommend this place to all my friends!
Went to the lunch buffet today and they had a delicious selection of foods. They were on top of replacing times quickly, and even brought out soup for me even though it's not officially on the lunch buffet free of charge. Great experience overall!
I went here twice in the span of a few months because it is so highly suggested among the college crowd, but really was not a fan. The food was a personal flavor thing--I prefer very spicy food, and found theirs rather bland for my taste buds. But what really made the experience bad was the service--the waiter had to be reminded multiple times for simple requests (a spoon, a plate), and was not super nice. This was a few years ago though, so I'm not sure she's still there.
Still giving 3 stars though because the general consensus seems to be, "their food is so good it's worth the crappy service." Also the owner graciously sponsors/helps with lots of college events, so that's appreciated. I've always found the food at events tasted better than when I ordered it in shop.
I'd say 4.5 overall. The soup was great, the salad was delicious and well spiced. The vegetarian entree we got was good but not great. The spices as a whole were surprising in a really good way.
The highlight of the place is the service and atmosphere and sense of generosity you get. We felt very welcome and had a really delightful visit. Also a nice part of town
Easily my favorite restaurant in town. Incredible food and great atmosphere
We went for the lunch buffet and had a great time! The food was delicious, so many options including lots of vegan and vegetarian options. The staff was super friendly, even brought our 6 month old some toys. We'll be back!
Delightful and delicious! I'm not sure my fellow diners loved sitting on pillows on the floor but I did! The staff was super friendly and the food was great!
The bread by itself was amazing, but with the humus -- even better. The lentil soup that came with my meal was great. It tasted/looked a little bit like bean soup. The charcoal lamb kabobs were to die for, and I don't get lamb often (especially here in Indiana). Also, the hot tea is complimentary! And very pleasant coupled with the food.
The food is clean and generous. The entrees include a salad and unending cup of tea. I have never had any food here that I disliked. I had them cater an event and every person enjoyed something. Their summer buffet is a treat - you can be healthy, vegetarian, or fried food happy. All are available and well done.
