Welcome to Anatoli Restaurant

Anatoli restaurant is celebrating 26 years in business this year, if you still have not experienced this sensation it is not too late.

Come and try our amazing kitchen, ambiance and service to see why we are chosen one of the most authentic restaurants in South Africa.

Anatoli is a nonsmoking restaurant including the bar area


Anatoli was chosen as one of South Africa's 10 most romantic restaurants by WINE magazine in their February issue.

Owned and managed by Tayfun Aras, Anatoli is housed in a Victorian warehouse dating back to 1904 and serving up Cape Town's best Turkish food since 1984.

Almost too hot to touch, freshly baked flat breads are carried to the tables to accompany the meze presented on oversized trays. As is the tradition, waiters will explain the mezes available, numbering 22 in total. Due to the infinite variety of fish, meat, fruits and vegetables produced in Turkey and the numerous cultures that took roots in ancient Anatolia, contemporary Turkish food is amazingly varied. At Anatoli Restaurant the main dishes available reflect this variety.

Most people with even a mildly adventurous palate have heard of, or tried Baklava or Kadayif. These two flaky pastries dominate Anatoli's dessert tray, amoungst other delicious sweets.

Come and enjoy this amazing cuisine.
