I never thought the day would come but - There is a good restaurant in Bensenville, Illinois!!!! Went for dinner with the significant other on a Thursday night (last night). I legitimately expected nothing because everything in this town has disappointed me. However, do not let my low expectations mar my praise of this legitimately high quality eatery. First of all, its sparkling clean. Smells good when you walk in, tables are clean and bathrooms are clean. Service is unfussy but attentive. I dont expect to be coddled. I like to be taken care of but I like to be left alone. Ive held damn near every position in the restaurant industry and I personally HATE long table presentations before a meal. I think theyre gimmicky, waaay too trendy, tacky and invasive. The young lady checked on us often but left us alone enough to have a quiet meal - perfect for us. Oddly enough, I know two of the people who wrote reviews prior to tasting the food. First of all, I would suggest a change of the ol rag between the legs. Second of all, big mistake. Everything was fresh, prepared perfectly and presented simply and pleasantly. No SYSCO factory meat here. With good ingredients the cooks job is not to screw them up. Gyros are seasoned simply, well portioned and delicious. Not the greasy "frat halfwit in town from college" gut bombs you find everywhere else around here. Tzatziki is fresh. Rice is barely seasoned and, again, perfectly prepared. No need to mess with it. Delicious. Chicken also seasoned simply with oil, salt, pepper and lemon. All of the flavors stand out and the chicken was moist and tender. Hard to do with the dry white meat we have in the states. Falafel was awesome and not too dry. The little gyro loaf burger thingy was delicious. Lamb and beef kebabs, again - seasoned simply, cooked perfectly. Slight taste of fire - perfect. Side salad was fresh and seasoned well. No complaints here and thats saying a lot. If you read my other reviews, youll quickly realize Im not really a nice guy. If you want some Chia Pet microgreen haircut hipster-friendly joint where your server is going to hold your junk - go somewhere else. If I could have any complaints, I guess the pita bread could be baked in house and the custard doesnt need any chocolate. Its brie texture, buttery-caramel flavor and flambed top speak for itself. No need to drown it out with chocolate, in my opinion. Expect great mostly authentic Mediterranean food, simply prepared - in an unexpected place. Leftovers reheat well and this place is pretty cheap to eat at. Less than $40 for two people, multiple beverages and dessert. Solid. *feedback from dropped mic*

Gerçek Türk restaurantı değil ,lahmacun söyledik salçali pide , İskender söyledik basma greek gyro yu bildiğin kuru curtain on üstüne koyup gönderdi, çok kötü bir yıldız bile fazla , beş yıldız bırakanların hiç biri de Türk değil dikkat edin( dont go its not real Turkish , everything was bad and we found out owner is not Turkish he is some Egyptian guy selling faked Turkish food , we didnt even eat most of the food instead of giving us a discount they automatically add 20% tip on top the bill

Ordered my food at 1:39pm and was told it would be ready in ten minutes. 25 minutes later and Im still sitting here waiting. Im writing this review before trying the food because if the service is horrible, it doesnt matter how good the food is. It would be completely understandable if they had a lunch rush, but I have been the only customer in the building for the entirety of the wait. I work very close with 60 employees who are constantly ordering food for lunch. I sat and watched four other employees, including the owner/manager on duty eat while I sat and waited. This place will be crossed off our list. I just now received my order, 30 minutes after the time on the receipt, and was not apologized to or anything of that sort. This place wont survive.

Ibrahim was one of the best waiters Ive ever had , in his memory of every order since there was three of us was perfect, and we got exactly what we ordered, and the chicken was extremely moist and easy to cut through with a fork I substituted the rice for more salad and I are also ordered the meat combination , and also the mixed grill, everything was perfect , we also ordered yogurt with cucumber, me being from 11 on background their baba ganoush and the yogurt was perfectly done. Any bring you complementary bread. I highly recommend this place I was here on February 16th 2016 if you dont come here you be wasting your money

Having Middle Eastern roots, its tough critiquing food you were raised with, but let me just say - their falafel entrée is one of the best I ever had. I was fairly hungry, but couldnt finish it due to the sheer size of the plate so I boxed it and took it to eat on my flight that very same day. I had everyone around me on the flight salivating and eyeballing it which is a telltale sign of how delicious it was. The portion was ideal and the place is quaint with a friendly staff. Would visit again if I could.

We visited a few months ago. Very good food. Affordable. The warm bread is outstanding. I think the owner (also the cook?) came out to talk to everyone. One criticism I had (I thought the felafel was a bit overcooked) and he said that he would make the way I like it the next time-just ask! Its not very often one finds that kind of personal touch. I hope they stay around for a very, very long time

Me and wife come to this restaurant about once a month. Their food and service is awesome. The kebabs are tender, the rice flavorful, the appetizers excellent especially the freshly baked bread with olive oil that is complementary is exceptional. I even love their chicken wings and French fries. Both are oozing flavor. If I could I would have given this place more than 5 stars.

Foods are named after Turkish foods. Got mixed grill and long hair was free thanks to that. 4 adult and 4 kids charged %20 tip which we did not want to give 1$ tip. Lahmacun was horrible. Overall this place is not Turkish and foods are not Turkish. Donnot judge Turkish foods after you come to this location. Bu yerdeki yemeklerin adlari turk ama tatlari ve goruntuleri igrenc.

Had a Gyro sandwich, fries, and drink for under $10. They actually warmed the pita, something other places forget, and thick cut the meat. The food was very tasty. The young waitress was very sweet and made sure to check on us regularly, as she did with every patron. Very warm atmosphere, not too busy and would love to visit again next time Im in town!

Probably one of the best Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern restaurant in Chicago. There lunch special is delight and its also the one you can see below (image) it comes with 2 piece of Chicken Kabob, 2 piece of beef Kabob and 2 piece lamb Kabob, 2 pieces of gyro. Food is so beautiful decorated that sometimes i cant help but to photograph it.

Must try. Dont be deceived by the looks from outside. Its a small place but a hidden jewel. Its the only authenic turkish place in the suburbs i think. Loved thier hummus, dolmas, mixed kababs and lamb shank. They also serve a fresh baked turkish bread in the begining at all the tables, thats also awesome. Definitely recommend.
