Phenomenal Turkish restaurant in Allentown. The service was excellent and the food… to die for.
The place is BYOB. Highly recommend going with a group and getting whatever your server recommends. But also… GET THE FRIES, they’re some of the best we’ve ever had, and possibly some of the best you’ll ever have 🙂
Try this Turkish place. Be open to suggestions and have a blast!

The food at ACI Halal in Allentown was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. You could tell the meat was fresh from their onsite butcher. What really made the experience stand out was the staff, they were so welcoming and genuine, which made the visit even more enjoyable. This restaurant is owned and run by a local family and you can tell they take pride in both their food and their customer service. The Iskender, Adana, Lamb Chops and Babaganush are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and my husband’s favorite!!!!!!!! You have to get one of the combo meat platters. I truly loved their fresh baklava, you can tell it was homemade. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

We love Turkish food, we have a lot to compare from trips to Turkey and visits to many Turkish restaurants all over the world! And I’ve to say honestly this is one of the best!
The restaurant itself is not so nice, but the food is just delicious and very authentic. Their pita is so good, it was still warm when it came to the table, just perfect. Everything we got was seasoned to perfection. We got great recommendations from our waitress without even asking for them. Our waitress was really nice.
We will definitely come back! We can totally recommend this place!

Delicious food, great service, friendly staff and warm and welcoming atmosphere.
If you’re looking for authentic Turkish food made by Turkish chefs, you should definitely try this restaurant.
We had the Adana kabob, Beyti Kabob, iskinder, and patlican soslu and they were all awesome. I strongly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back.

It is a nice small Turkish restaurant in a small town in PA, I tried lentil
Soup it had a lot of garlic in it, so not my favorite, İskender kabob was good except they put the yogurt under the meat which is not my favorite also , I like yogurt on the side. Thanks

ACI Halal Meat and Turkish Restaurant is a unique gem nestled in a grocery store, offering incredibly delicious and authentic food—like their standout lamb. The service is so friendly and kind, lifting the whole vibe. Pair your meal with the Turkish tea for a perfect touch!

We ordered 2 Adanas and 1 İskender, but we had to wait a really long time. There were very few staff. Most of our time was spent waiting for the food. At the same time, the heating system of the place was insufficient and it was cold, so I didn’t want to take off my coat.

The place is halal! The place can use a little updating but the food is excellent! The brothers working at this place are super nice and friendly. We ordered the Iskendar and adani kebab and another adana kebob but a bit more spicy (it was mixed with extra spices). The serving portions are big. The iskendar I shared half with my brother and it was enough for both of us. It was very good and tasty. Same with the kebobs as well. Would definately recommend this place. Turkish food is excellent.

So far I have a good experience. I visited with my mom and daughter after a long time. I recognized the place as my first visit when my kids were so young. It was definitely a good experience. Service is great, food was good as well. I would hope that they would offer everything listed on their menu but they are limited. My last vegetarian meal was not as warm. Some of the portion was cold.
For that reason I gave 4 star for food.

After visiting Türkiye several times, we’re always on the hunt for legit Turkish food. Aci Halal is absolutely amazing! We had babaganoush, imam bayildi and lamb kebab. The lunches came with lentil soup and we had çai too. Everything was delicious, authentic and fresh. The lamb was cooked perfectly and service was wonderful. We also picked up some spices and tea from the attached market. We would be here all the time if we lived in Allentown!
