Icafe Chicago - side

Food is expensive and not good I’m mad about wasting all this food

The place is small and kind of a hole in the wall place. The lady at the counter was friendly. We ordered a couple of dishes- pida with parsley and cheese, istekander and one more that i am forgetting the name off. So, the starter bread they bought out wasnt too great but it isnt part of what we ordered. The food that we did order was amazing and i really enjoyed it. Taste way better than the turkish food i had on the east coast. Dedinately recommend this place.

In my opening, the quality of the food was medium. Service was not good.

Lovey staff! Very helpful and explained the items well. We had a beef samosa and chicken, both had very flaky dough but the halal beef was the best! The hot turkish tea is strong with a good flavor and only $1! Finally we had their original desert, kazandibi. It’s a Turkish pudding with some caramel on top, making it very refreshing with the tea.

Super friendly waiter — he was so sweet. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. The samosas were really good — but the lahmacun, hummus, and Pide were not very flavorful. It's a nice place to try, but I felt like it didn't live up to the good reviews I read.
