Anatolia Turkish Restaurant

This Turkish spot in an old mall off Orchard Road serves some of the most authentic and affordable Middle Eastern fare in the city.

With lamb and chicken roasting on a spit, the juicy kebabs are an obvious choice and served on thick pita bread. For a more leisurely meal, take a seat in the small dining area and peruse the Turkish travel guides while you wait for home-style cooking like kofta (herbed meatballs) or guvec (meat and veggies baked in a clay pot).

There's Turkish ice cream for dessert.
