“This was our first time trying Turkish cuisine and the owner walked us through the menu and suggested vegetarian dishes. Got us complimentary pink lady dish and some turkish bread which was really nice of him. We went on to order saganaki and an eggplant dish which had very balanced flavors. In the end got the turkish coffee and baklava. They also got my friend some tea. 10/10. And special mention for the bread! Will be back soon.”
“Such a great place! The food was delicious, and the Turkish breakfast is an amazing experience. The service was also impeccable. The staff was friendly and did an exceptional job helping me get around while I’m on crutches.”
“On our weekend getaway in Chicago we went to this place for their Turkish breakfast and it was delicious! I appreciate the fact they have different options with decent prices as opposed to other Turkish restaurants they charge you arm and a leg for a meal!”
“Loved this place! The vibe is really nice, and the service is super friendly, they make you feel right at home. The food was amazing, especially the steak kebab and the carrot tarator. The steak was super juicy and full of flavor, and the carrot tarator was honestly so good, way better than I expected! You can tell they put a lot of care into everything, and it’s cool to see Anatolian food done in a fine dining way. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to, and I’ll be bringing friends next time too.”
