A Hidden Middle Eastern Gem Just Steps Away from Kampong Glam and Haji Lane

#singaporetrip Tucked along the vibrant Arab Street and just steps away from the colourful lanes of Kampong Glam and Haji Lane, Anatolia Restaurant is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Turkish, Lebanese, and Middle Eastern cuisine in Singapore. From the moment you step in, Anatolia welcomes you with warm hospitality and an interior that instantly transports you—beautifully patterned tiles, intricate hanging lamps, and cosy, intimate corners that make the place perfect for both group gatherings and romantic dates. One of the first things to hit our table was their giant lavash bread, served hot and puffed to perfection. It’s as much a showstopper as it is delicious. Tear off a piece and dip it into their sauces or pair it with mezze—pure satisfaction. We also had the mixed grill, which came with generous portions of perfectly grilled meats. Juicy, well-marinated, and full of flavour, each bite was a reminder of how comforting and hearty Middle Eastern food can be. And of course, we couldn’t skip dessert. Their kunafa was everything we hoped for—crispy on the outside, sweet and cheesy on the inside, and just the right amount of indulgent to end the meal on a high. Whether you’re looking for a spot to chill after exploring Kampong Glam, planning a cosy date night, or organizing a group dinner with friends, Anatolia ticks all the right boxes with its soulful food, beautiful vibes, and authentic atmosphere.
