Pide Ve Lahmacun
1812 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“This cozy, independently-run Turkish spot serves generously-portioned pide and lahmacun alongside standout manti dumplings and traditional soups, with a relaxed, homey atmosphere that draws families and friends for leisurely meals. While service can be inconsistent, the food arrives warm and flavorful with a welcoming touch like complimentary hot bread and butter, making it worth returning to explore their full menu of authentic Turkish specialties.”

Very bad service. We waited 15 minutes. I came back twice to have our order taken. They didn't even come. There were hardly any customers. There were two men at a table. That's probably why no one goes there. We left without waiting for a waiter. We wasted 15 minutes. I don't recommend it.
Great food, big portion sizes! Doner kabob sandwich is also so flavorful! That and the manty is not spicy if you’re looking for that! The decor is also very relaxing and cute!
The food was delicious and warm (doesn't have tons of over spice). Service was awesome. They served hot bread with butter that was finger licking (we got the leftovers to go 😆) price was relatively cheap tho. Sorry for the messy table pic. Highly recommend.... Definitely come back. Thanks guys
When we get there the restaurant was booked for a wedding so we had to eat outside while it’s cold and there wasn’t enough outside heaters. Out of 10 my ratings: Lahmacun 7 Manti 9 Beyti 9 Iskender 8 Ayran9
It’s a small Turkish Halal cafe. I believe it’s independently run by an individual family ( just a guess) they have few different soups I enjoyed the one I ordered but I want to try the rest as well. Their entree seems good too but I ordered from the grill section- didn’t like them much it was missing some kind of dipping sauce although it wasn’t bad for a ribeye taste. Also, I was kinda little iffy about halal logo not found in the menu. I think it’s city of Chicago thing not to display I guess but as a consumer of Halal food choices I would like and want to see the halal logo sign on their menu. The Turkish tea is a no for me . Overall Soup was superlicious ribeye was okay and Turkish tea was a no but the bread served was freshly baked and was perfectly spongy will definitely revisit. Keep in mind it’s a paid parking by the street and not that many spot shops
