  Cute little place with beautiful lamps. The waiter was very friendly was quite busy but he addressed everybody in a timely fashion with a smile on his face. The food was excellent it's the best since I've been had it in Chicago. It's a must try place.

  This place is SO overpriced. Incredible how little you get for your money. The food photos on their website are not of their food and are misleading. Nothing looks like the picture and you will not get fries with your doner kebob. Don’t waste time and money going here. I will never go back.

  I had a great experience at this Turkish restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and high quality, with authentic Turkish flavors. The staff were amazing—very kind, polite, and friendly, which made us feel very comfortable. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to others.

  This place is SOOOO overpriced, it's ridiculous. I would never go back because it's not good value for your money. We spent the same amount for 2 kebobs, labne and a pide that we paid for an oyster and shrimp po boy, onion rings and french fries, and there were over a dozen shrimp and oysters on each sandwich. I think they falsely advertise, too. The pictures on their website are stock photos, and look nothing like the food they serve. The kebobs pictured show fries, whereas they do not serve fries with their kebobs -- for $14.00, no fries! I think it's a rip-off. And it wasn't as good as I remember it being 6 months ago. Never again. Things are expensive enough and this place isn't worth the price.

  Nice place and great welcoming service. We were served complimentary fire roasted bread and two small sauces. We ordered the sampler appetizer that had an assortment of things like hummus, babganoush, dolmas and other items that required dipping of their fire roasted bread into…. Now get this, we used our leftover complimentary bread for the $25 appetizer, when we ran out and asked for more…. We found out later we were charged $2.50 for it! Not cool. We also order the beef and lamb gyro platter with two salads. The salads had very little dressing. The beef and lamb mixture cut from a vertical rotisserie tasted funny…. Not like your typical lamb gyro. It was $24, overpriced in my opinion. The place is quaint, and culturally decorated with items for sale. I doubt I will go back.
