After visiting Türkiye several times, we’re always on the hunt for legit Turkish food. Aci Halal is absolutely amazing! We had babaganoush, imam bayildi and lamb kebab. The lunches came with lentil soup and we had çai too. Everything was delicious, authentic and fresh. The lamb was cooked perfectly and service was wonderful. We also picked up some spices and tea from the attached market. We would be here all the time if we lived in Allentown!

The place is halal! The place can use a little updating but the food is excellent! The brothers working at this place are super nice and friendly. We ordered the Iskendar and adani kebab and another adana kebob but a bit more spicy (it was mixed with extra spices). The serving portions are big. The iskendar I shared half with my brother and it was enough for both of us. It was very good and tasty. Same with the kebobs as well. Would definately recommend this place. Turkish food is excellent.

My husband and I eat only Halal foods, and prefer restaurants that don’t serve alcohol. This place checked those boxes and more ✅ Delicious food in huge portions (pictured: Iskandar & Chicken Chop), the accompanying grocery and butcher shop run we did was much needed. The staff were all so lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, couldn’t recommend it enough. Looking forward to future dinners/trips to the butcher!

I found Aci restaurant through a google search on my way home from a travel. The food and service are great! It’s a family owned restaurant and small grocery/meat shop. The location seems a bit rundown but the food &service is a real gem.

This is such an excellent restaurant!! Authentic, fresh and delicious. I have waited 3+ years for this space to re-open. They have only gotten better.

We always make a point to stop by for a great middle eastern meal every time we visit Allentown. This past experience was just as good as always. The staff was most friendly and caring about our experience, the meal was tasty, freshly prepared with generous portion. Not a fancy place, but well worth a visit.

Today, we discovered an amazing small Turkish restaurant and grocery store in Allentown. We were on our way back from the Poconos to Philadelphia. I searched on Google Maps for a lunch place. Without mapping it, we would have missed it. It was a nice surprise to us! We hope to come back, as we very much enjoyed the food and the friendly atmosphere.
