great environment and good turkish cuisine. belly dancers and hookah always make a weekend night entertaining. speaking of which, this place gets booked up so make a reservation. try the iskender kabob and the lahmacun (turkish pizza). aside from the food and the environment, the wait staff is pleasant and the owner is very jovial and friendly.

Went here with a group of friends and had a blast!! Fantastic entertainment (belly dancers), and a raffle!! Our table actually won $15 certificate at this restaurant! The food was wonderful and the servers were excellent! I will definitely come back. ADVICE: Make sure to make reservations on Fridays & Saturdays. When we were there, turns out there was a waiting list.

A nice, fun, Turkish restaurant. Make sure to get the Turkish beer (still can’t seem to find a six pack anywhere). Almost all dishes come with lamb. Besides the food, there are belly dancers and hookah pipes. The decor is a little cheesey, but it’s a fun visit.

I’m no expert on Turkish food, but as a beginner, the food here is excellent. What’s more, the atmosphere is exotic and provides a true escape from the urban atmosphere of Chicago. While hardly a theme restaurant, the decor is authentic and the hookah bar upstairs adds to the effect. On Friday and Saturday evenings there are live belly dancers who perform right on the dinning room floor – the perfect icebreaker for first dates. Also, the owner is quite the character.
