Anatolian Palace Turkish Mediterranean Grill Restaurant

You're in the heart of Worcester's shopping district when you push through the doors at Anatolian Palace, tucked into Crowngate. It's the sort of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—the smell of charcoal and spiced lamb does that job. The menu reads like a tour through Turkish Mediterranean cooking: sizzling iskender kebabs, tender shish cooked right in front of you, and proper mezze spreads that make you want to order more. It's casual enough for a midweek dinner with mates, but the quality of what comes out of that open kitchen elevates it beyond your average high street Turkish.
