“ I found this place several months ago and went several times with friends. Their Turkish breakfast is to die for! Comes with a huge assortment of marmalade, cheeses, tomatoes, breads etc. as well as menemen (an egg scramble). Also comes with fruits. The Adana kebap and pide I also higher recommend! Everything is delicious and service and atmosphere is great! The staff are so friendly! It's one of my favorite spots in Chicago! ”
“ As someone who has experienced almost all the Turkish restaurants in Chicago, this place definitely deserves number 1. Just go and watch how we served to guests in our culture, and look at the cleanliness and order of the surroundings. (Thank you to our server Behnam!) We tried Adana wrap, lahmacun, doner plate and cig kofte. The food was great. Order the carrot slice baklava with ice cream, you will love it. And finally, kunefe is definitely a feast of taste. look at the check: all this good quality is great price! Thank you guys. ”

“ This restaurant left us with only the best impressions! We decided to take our food to go, and even in the packaging, the dishes remained fresh and full of rich flavor—authentic Turkish cuisine at its finest. Everything was absolutely delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. While we waited for our order, they kindly treated us to fragrant Turkish tea, which was such a lovely touch. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, making us feel as if we had been transported straight to Turkey. We’ll definitely be coming back to try even more delicious dishes! P.S, you should try baklava and kadayif also(!!), beyti is a good choice for first try! ”
“ I’ve got special Kunefe with pistachio to go. It’s my second time visiting Antepli for the Mediterranean sweets. The last time I’ve visited I took a box of baklava- they were freshly made and tasted delish. So I went back in search of kunefe yesterday. The small portion is sufficient for 2 people. It was freshly made and tasted really nice with the perfect sweetness. I wish they could only improve their response time. I could see my order is been ready for 5-10 minutes and sitting on the counter, but there weren’t anyone at the counter to handover it to me. ”
“ Had lunch here with some friends and the food was great and filling. Really liked the appetizer platter with the bread. Overall the food was great and the service was great as well. Took a little bit with finding parking due to the busy parking lot but there are spots in the street to park as well. ”
“ It wasn't my first time at Antepli but would like to share my experience of this place now. Excellent ambience and service( very kind waiters) the taste of the food reminds me of the wonderful experience I had in Istanbul Excellent Turkish coffee. Recommended ”
