Absolutely horrendous customer service.
The food was good. Service was below average.
Honest Review – Deeply Disappointed After High Hopes I genuinely hate leaving bad reviews for small businesses — I know how hard it is to run one.

“Food along with service was amazing.”
Food along with service was amazing. 10/10. We got the cig kofte, manti, and beef shish. The cig kofte is perfect if you like the sour pomegranate paste flavor, it was the perfect savory dish. The manti was also amazing. The beef shish was cooked perfectly and had the perfect tenderness. And lastly…the waitress was super sweet and kind :) Definitely coming back

“First time at Aladdin and wow we loved it.”
First time at Aladdin and wow we loved it! The food is authentic and delicious. My husband and I had the Kofte and chicken kebabs, both were flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Portions were perfect, and the prices were great. The young lady who served us was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this place, we’ll definitely be back for sure!

“I’ve had a great experience shopping at this grocery and bakery.”
I’ve had a great experience shopping at this grocery and bakery. The store is always clean, well-organized, and stocked with fresh products. Their bakery section is especially impressive — the bread is soft and flavorful, the pastries are delicious, and everything tastes like it’s made with care. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist if you need anything.

“Absolutely loved this place.”
Absolutely loved this place! I tried their Mixed Grill Ali Nazik, and it was incredible — truly authentic Turkish flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The quality and taste were just like what you’d find in Turkey. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for real, authentic Turkish food in Chicago without overpaying. I’ll definitely be coming back!

“Absolutely love this place.”
Absolutely love this place! We keep coming back for the food — it’s that good. At first, we didn’t even realize there was a restaurant hidden behind the grocery store, but what a great find. We totally enjoyed the Ali Nazik, Köfte Kebab, and eggplant saksuka — all incredibly delicious. The staff were warm and welcoming, especially the owner, Vidat. Can’t recommend it enough!
