Belly Dancing at Anatoli - A Real Treat!


Owned and managed by Tayfun Aras, Anatoli is housed in a 100 year old Victorian warehouse and has been 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 over 20 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 and experience a slice of Turkey.

Tenille is a resident dancer at Anatoli Turkish Restaurant in Napier Street, Green Point!
Dancing takes place on Saturdays at 8:30pm. It's best to book. Call Anatoli on Tel 021 419 2501
