Fresh, wholesome, and authentic, the flavorful food coming out of Anatolia Café's kitchen hits just the right note between exotic and approachable. That probably explains the crowd on this Saturday night, an eclectic blend of ages and ethnicity all snuggled into comfy booths or sturdy tables in the relocated restaurant's new Cleveland Heights digs. With its soaring ceilings, wooden floors, and shiny open kitchen, it's a vast improvement over the café's first cramped quarters, in a shabby strip plaza in South Euclid. Among other things, today's comparatively vast square footage (once home to a flower shop and a thrift store) has allowed owner Yashar Yildirim to install an ample lobby, two long dining rooms, and a cozy wine bar, where he pours an engaging assortment of Turkish, French, and New World wines, along with cocktails, mixed drinks, and 18 imported and / or craft-brewed beers.
