Anatolia's Gate meatballs and curry

Back to Anatolia's Gate -- because there was a Meetup there tonight and my friend was interested in Turkish food, so I went with her.

If you are in a group, the lavash bread that comes with your meal will also be communal!

Meat Lovers Pide ($11.95) Anatolia's Ground Meat, Turkish Pastrami, tomatoes, cheese, egg

Quite small. Rather thin film of mixed meat. Either some spicing to the meat or it was the influence of the Turkish Pastrami.
Not that tasty to me, maybe because there was too little meat.
Meat portion is basically around $8 since the bread portion is probably about the same as a medium lavash bread. Overpriced.
If you don't need the cheese, consider getting the lahmajun instead -- more meat spread over a thin crust, $11.45

Chicken Curry ($14.95) chicken breast chunks with curry sauce, rice, and salads; served with a freshly baked lavash bread and yogurt sauce

The curry here is strong and has some heat, but not too much. Very much not like an Indian curry, if that is what you are hoping for.
The salad of chopped tomatoes and chilies (possibly ezme -- fresh tomatoes, parsley, onion, hot peppers, olive oil) is bitter and very spicy-hot, so watch out! Use the yogurt sauce to clear your palate if necessary -- don't blow it all on the lavash bread even though that tends to come very early.
Not quite as much chicken as pictured in the menu.
Big meal, so-so in taste. Felt maybe slightly overpriced for $14.95 but very filling because of the bowl of rice in the middle.

Kofte Guvech ($14.95) Anatolia's Ground Meat balls with oven-roasted veggies, tomato sauce, and cheese baked in oven; served with lavash

Rather firm but still moist meatballs that merged together during baking.
Some sour stuff (pickles?) in the stew.
Looked like a smallish order for price.

Service felt polite and attentive. When I sat down, almost right away someone came with water. When there were more of us, they brought over a carafe.
