    Definitely one of my new favorite spots in the neighborhood. The portions are huge and the restaurant is very authentic. The staff is friendly and I'll definitely be back. Ambiance is definitely authentic as well.

    Şekerpare- my fave!
    Ozzie T.

    Stopped by a couple weeks ago because the kids were craving pide and lahmacun. The sucuklu pide was delicious! We also got lahmacun but it was just OK. It got a little soggy by the time we got home - no fault of the restaurant but the flavors were OK. I remembered it being tastier in the past.

    Cozy and convenient dive for comfort food. The staff are very polite and fluent in Kyrgyz, Turkish, and English. Cuisine reflects diverse cultures of Central Asia and the Mediterranean.

    Delicious pide. Chicken and veggies
    David A.

    Mathis place is a hidden gem off the Irving Park brown line. They have decent coffee as well as tea. The pide is probably one of the best in the city. It's baked to perfection and it's so cheesy and delicious. A great spot especially for lunch. Staff is pretty friendly and it doesn't take long to receive your order. Highly recommend the chicken pide or the vegetarian one.Beef and Cheese Pide is also good.

    Iskender

    I came by for the iskender and it was delicious! Personally I would've preferred a bit more yogurt and less of the melted butter but the meal was pretty close to what you'd get in Turkey. Price felt a bit expensive, $20 with taxes for the dish alone. I came by just after lunchtime on a weekday and there was plenty of space available.

    Side salad

    Super friendly staff. Located next to the Irving Park Brown Line train station. A small an assuming location with a great opportunity to enjoy the famous turkish delicious causine. The new owner have kept the original chef/cook to maintain the fan favorite menu tastes. We had the Lentil Soup, Pide and lahmachun as appetizers. Huge quantities were served. Making our gang of 12 get enough to start from three appetizers. Kebab combo was very flavorful and came with rice, veggies, and salad. Iskandar doner kebab was a big hit. This us the first time we get acceptable tasting Iskandar in the US. Unfortunately the doner was not cut thin enough to complete the almost authentic experience. We will be visiting Chicago again in a few weeks and already looking forward for a repeat visit.

    I ate a cold appetizer plate and a Doner kabob. Food was very well-seasoned and I enjoyed it! Looking forward to a return.

    Does not have that much variety, but the food they do serve is pretty good.
