Turkish Cuisine & Bakery: User Reviews

Best Turkish in town
By XT from Bucktown, October 2, 2009

My boyfriend and I have tried all the Turkish places in the city, and this place is the best. They have the best Turkish bread and the best peppers and hummus- the Turkish "pizza" is out of this world. When you are there, you feel like you just might be in Turkey. The service and value is outstanding. You cannot go wrong with this restaurant. YUM!

Good food but not a family (little kids) restaurant

We tried Turkish Cuisine due to the fact that our new AuPair is from Turkey and we thought she might like a taste of home. She said the food was very authentic and she had a nice time. That being said it took nearly 20 minutes from being seated to having our drink order taken. Dinner order was taken another 20 minutes after that. Food arrived at the 1 hour mark. We have 4 children ages 6 to 1 1/2 and try as they might they just got tired waiting for our meal. Food for the most part was good. The chicken was overcooked and dry. Also, they don't have a bar! That would be nice to print somewhere on their website.

Not only does the food taste great, the prices will shock you. Oh, and forget paying for drinks... this place is BYO/ no corkage. Grab your friends and make it a party!!!! The staff is very accommodating :-)

New to Turkish food and it was great!

We went there with a large group of people which was perfect for trying different items. The stuffed mushrooms, falafel and zucchini pancakes (which were amazing) were great choices. For entrees we did a lot of lamb, and I highly recommend the traditional dishes. Corkage fees were nominal so we were able to enjoy our evening of good food, good service and interesting Turkish pop music for hours. I have passed by this place numerous times, but only now have I stopped in. I would highly recommend this restaurant to others that are looking for something a bit different and exciting.

Outstanding food, everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. The Doner is a hammer, the fresh bread served still warm is a delicacy. I can only recommend this restaurant. We were seated in the front part of the restaurant which is quite cosy. Nice and colourful table cloths and fabric napkins are the extra touch. The staff was very very friendly.

My girlfriend's mom came in from out of town, so then came the inevitable. "So what are you in the mood for?" This time we decided to hit up this place. I found the initial bread appetizer exceptional. Warm out of the oven and fantastic flavor. Everyone's entree was generous and extremely high quality. The prices were also very reasonable. Our server was very warm and attentive without being overly present. There's no reason to have to wait to have a great meal in Andersonville. I'd recommend it to a friend.
