GASTRONOMY REVIEW: Anatolian Grill, Prestwich.


Who'd have thought that Prestwich, a town bordering northern Manchester would have such a gem as this on its high street?

The Anatolian Grill (and wine bar) was just the perfect choice for an early evening of delightful food and relaxing ambience on a very snowy and blowy wintry day.

The restaurant is spotlessly clean (as indeed are the toilets), and the lighting is bright and clear - a huge plus. I absolutely hate restaurants who decide to dim the lighting to create 'mood', thus not being able to see exactly what you are eating... it always seems a little suspicious to me! With plenty of space between the tables, and attentive but not over-fussy waiting staff, we spent just over two hours in the restaurant this evening and did not at any point feel rushed or that we had over-stayed our welcome. In fact we stayed at the door chatting further to one of the waiting staff before we finally left. Friendly and polite. Just perfect.

And as for the food and drink, then there are absolutely no complaints at all. All the dishes were tastefully presented, hot when they were supposed to be, and superb value for money as the portions were generous on all counts. Even watching other diners' food as it passed by and served on other tables, they all looked and smelled delicious.

My only complaint.... I didn't have enough room left to start the meal all over again...!
