A warm evening at the grill table

Find it by the black night fascia: a large backlit cursive “Anatolia” in warm amber-gold, “Turkish Cuisine” in small caps beneath, a circular scalloped-edge seal reading “HALAL” to the right, and a “65” plaque on the pillar. Entry is at 63/13 and 65 Pasteur; above the glass double doors sits a smaller illuminated “Anatolia”, with arched transom windows glowing warm yellow.

Inside is warm contemporary Turkish-modern: caramel and dark-chocolate walls with curved arch niches, grey marble-look floors and tabletops, dark teal armchairs, long burnt-orange velvet banquettes, bright orange folded napkins on every table, black track spotlights and recessed ceiling spots. Tall arched windows at the rear look out on greenery; the walls carry vintage-map-style art with red Turkish flags, a small globe table lamp, plants and vases on a ledge, and a “STAFF ONLY” door with an oval “Anatolia” logo.

On the table: the mixed grill on a round wooden board, boat-shaped cheese flatbread, herbed yogurt dip drizzled with olive oil, spiced minced-meat flatbread, a bread basket and tea in a tulip glass. Still photos show the room empty between services; videos show laden tables — tea, dips, grills.
