I mean amazing. Phenomenal. From the service to the amazing taste infused in the whole meal. Brought me back to countryside of Turkey. Highly would recommend . We got the sultan platter, the flavor was perfect fed 4 people well. Topped off with two of their most famous desserts, wrapped the meal up in a nice bow .

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Zizi’s Cafe in Chicago, and I can’t express how delighted my family and I were with our dining experience. As someone who often misses the authentic Iskender Kebap back in Turkey, I was thrilled to finally find the genuine taste right here in the USA!

Excellent, authentic Turkish food! The iskender was great, and so was the doner kebab. For dessert, we enjoyed the kazandibi and Turkish coffee. The host was wonderful, and so was the ambiance. Will return soon!

The sultans plate was great to share for 4, the eggplant and meats are all so delicious! Would highly recommend to be able to try a bit of everything from their menu – price is pretty reasonable as well

I had walked past several times and finally decided to grab take out this evening. I called to place my order and spoke to the kindest woman on the phone, then was greeted by her when picking up my meal. Her kindness and smile really lit up the room. I brought my food home and couldn’t wait to try it and it didn’t let me down. I had the chicken kebab platter which was accompanied by flavorful rice and grilled veggies, a side salad, hummus, and homemade bread. Everything was truly incredible and I look forward to my next order!

This is what a gold standard local restaurant looks like from where I’m at right now having tried it for the first time. The staff here seem to really care—we had John (tall blonde guy) and he was the best. He’ll hook you up right if you need any guidance. We wanted dessert but were so full and couldn’t decide. He gave us a couple baklava to try and they were delicious.

Good food. Little bland for my taste when it came to the wrap. Can definitely use some form of spicey sauce.

I chose this restaurant based on reviews. And we were not disappointed ! They greeted us with a smile and provided us with complimentary hot bread with appetizer. The food which we ordered (red lentil soup and rice with minced beef and smoked eggplant) was hot and delicious. I recommend this place and would definitely come back here again !
