With its warm wood-accented interior and relaxed vibe, this spot offers a welcome escape from the Midtown hustle and bustle. The menu is packed with authentic Turkish staples—from sizzling kebabs to rich meze platters—served quickly and affordably.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just a short walk from Times Square and several of New York’s top performance halls, AnTalia is a convenient pre-show dining option.

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the generous portions, authentic flavors, and reasonable prices—a rare find in Midtown. Guests regularly praise the friendly staff and the speedy service, especially for those on a tight schedule. The mixed grill platter and lentil soup are fan favorites, and diners appreciate the clean, welcoming setting.

Areas for Improvement

While most visitors enjoy the food, some note that the decor feels a bit dated, and the space can get tight during peak times. If you're looking for a long, lingering meal with upscale ambiance, this might not be the ideal spot—but for a quick, satisfying dinner, it hits the mark.

The Bottom Line

AnTalia is a tasty, wallet-friendly Turkish restaurant that's perfect for concert-goers looking for a convenient and flavorful Midtown meal.
