Reviews for Anatolia's Gate Restaurant in Burnaby, BC
We haven?t been here for 15 years, as there are many other choices around town. This time we wanted to see if the food is still... good. The Lavash bread was excellent as we ate the whole thing and we do not recall seeing that huge bread in Istanbul. My maincourse of Beyti Sarma looked very impressive, but the ground meats were a bit on the dry side. So was the Lamb Tandur my wifehad, a bit dry too. Anyway the dishes are very special and we will definitely return to try other dishes. Read more
I ordered the kofteh Guvesh which came with fresh bread and some yogurt sauce. Even though there was only one other customer... and I called and ordered 10 minutes before arriving I had to wait for another 15- 20 minutes to get my food. The Guvesh wasgood but not great, the cheese seemed to be not of the best quality or not the freshest and I would get it with out cheese forsure next time. The lavash bread came with oil and sesame which was actually great, I got another one for to go. The bread isdefinitely worth to try since they have their own oven, and that's why I would give it a 4 star. I need to try more of thedishes here to have a better judgment of the food quality.

The first visit we just came in to try some light snacks. We tried their turkish coffee- the cup was cute but when drinking it... to the the very end you can taste the ground bits of coffee which gives it an unpleasant texture and taste (bitter), We hadtheir lavash, by far it was the best one we?ve ever tried? super fresh, warm, toasty and just melts in your mouth also their dipwas well balanced with the lavash. The chicken wrap was really mediocre, chicken was dry and was hoping for more components inthe wrap, it lacked depth and flavor. 2 weeks later we came in to really try their main dishes & saddened to say that it wasjust lacking a lot of love. It was small for the big plate and it does not look like the picture displayed outside. Also themeats were dry, not flavorful, and lacked salt. Rice was a bit sticky and salad was super simple. Although their people werenice and welcoming. Ill come back here only for the lavash & yogurt dip.Other than that their main dishes are not worth theprice. We paid roughly $50 for everything. (P.s.- picture shown is my side of the dish that i ordered. They all looked the same) Read more
This place is always a local gem! I have been in this place for many times, and never been disappointed. They would give you the... famous Lavash bread with garlic yogart to start. The bread was freshly coming off the oven. Be sure to start eating it rightaway. It was delicious! During the years, I had tried their curry, kabobs, lamb chop, etc. They were all amazing! We would orderthe Ali baba (baked mushrooms with cheese) every time. My wife loved mushrooms and this was a must for her. This time, we triedtheir pizza for the first time. Curry pizza was a new experience for us. But It surprised us. It was quite good. Fresh from theoven and juicy curry sauce. We liked it very mush. At the end, I suggest a Turkish tea or coffee to finish. Would definitelyreturn as always. Read more
Amazing! We didn't make a reservation (definitely make a reservation) they let us sit at the staff table which was so kind of... them. The food was delicious, the staff were great. Definitely in the top 5 places in the city. Absolutely delicious! Read more

I was out for an evening ride and my cousin guided us to this restaurant. The food was yummy. The bread was served hot and... the mixed plate provided a good sampling of food. The Lamb Guvech was moist and tasty. The Lamb Tandur was a little dry forme but yummy. Overall I would recommend you all come here. Read more
