Anatolian Table Rocklin

We have been going here for years and everytime we go the food is fresh, delicious and satisfying. One of the things I love best is that they are consistent, it is the one restaurant I can go to and the food never disappoints. We have tried many things on the menu and it is all amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Fresh, flavorful and unique. ..what more can you ask for? The lamacun (thin crust cheeseless Turkish pizza) is a must-try...Also the "pedas", which are a cross between a pizza and a calzone, with cheese and a variety of fillings. The doner kebab is also amazing, perfectly seasoned ground lamb cooked similarly to Greek gyros, but the meat mixture here is made fresh, in - house, and the flavor reflects that. The hot tea here is served Turkish style, in delicate small glasses just a little bigger than shot glasses, and is delicious, but the tiny glasses need to be refilled often, and some servers have difficulty keeping up with that...I don't know why they don't just serve it by the pot and allow us to pour our own. The decor is charming, and there is pleasant Turkish pop music playing at a nice background level, allowing for easy table conversation. Besides the dishes I mentioned, there are the usual Mediterranean appetizers such as stuffed grape leaves, hummus, baba ghannoush, etc. Some traditional Turkish entrée casseroles are available also, both vegetarian or with lamb, chicken, fish or shrimp. They also offer a variety of whole grilled fish with a Mediterranean style basting of olive oil, herbs and lemon. For dessert they offer a middle-east style rice pudding (eggless), the usual baklava, kataifi (similar to baklava but made with shredded phillo dough instead of whole phillo sheets), and my favorite, kunefe, which is made with shredded phillo dough baked with a layer of mild white cheese and served hot, drenched in a sweet syrup...The combination of the crunchy phillo shreds, the slightly salty and melty-stringy cheese and the sweetness of the syrup makes for a unique taste sensation that is very difficult to find outside of the Middle East.
