I travel the world and love trying new foods. But I had a friend with me who is not so adventurous! He said, “Do they have french fries?” Well, in fact, they do. And, they’re better than most, and Turkish style. But we had the Beyti Kebab. It’s a party for your mouth! So good! But, we also tried the lamb chops and, honestly, they were unbelievably tender and delicious. We couldn’t stop talking about them all the way home. This place is exceptionally clean with a great atmosphere. The service was fast, friendly, and helpful. They open at 11:00 am for brunch with some great Turkish breakfasts. Next time I’m in the Chicago area, I’ll be back to try some of the other offerings on their huge menu. But, I gotta have some more chops!

Good and atmosphere were great. Food smelled amazing when I got it that I couldn’t contain myself from eating and completely forgot to take a picture. The soup with warm bread were delicious as well.

Food was good but the food took a while to come out. During this time no appetizers were brought out to us. We were so hungry when the hummus was finally brought out we had to ask for bread.
But I have to say the bread, hummus and all the food was really good.

Delicious authentic fresh Turkish cuisine. The interior is great. Would’ve been 5 stars if we didn’t wait over 45 mins for knafeh after we finished our meal, only for the knafeh to be given to the table behind us, to their confusion. When they made it the second time, it was presented in the pre-ordered package it was delivered to them in. I’m sorry but if it’s gonna take 45 minutes to serve pre-made reheated knafeh, it shouldn’t be on the menu to begin with.

Stopped here for dinner with some friends and the food was amazing and the service was excellent. The ladies in the front were super friendly and explained things on the menu I didn’t understand and made good recommendations.
The place is very cute and intimate best to make a reservation before hand or call to see if they have space for your party because they are always packed.

We had such a wonderful experience at The Palace Istanbul Kabab House. We came in with four adults and four kids and decided to order the mixed grill platter for six.
When it arrived, it seriously felt like a feast. The table was filled with beautifully arranged meats, each one smelling better than the last.
Surrounding the platter were generous portions of creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, a bright and zesty salad, and the most addictive garlic sauce we’ve ever had. There was also lentil soup, which I thought was the least flavorful, and slightly on the blander side, but my toddler loved it.
The salad was especially refreshing, with crisp vegetables and a light dressing that balanced the richness of the grilled meats perfectly. Every bite of the meal was packed with flavor. You could taste the spices and the care that went into the preparation. A couple of the meats were slightly overcooked, but not enough to take away from how satisfying and tasty everything was. The variety alone made the meal exciting, and there was plenty of food for everyone with leftovers to take home. We ended with some baklava that also came with it. I didn’t try it but my family thought it was decent.
Our server Bilal was fantastic. He was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. His service really elevated the whole experience.
What surprised us most was that the restaurant was nearly empty. With food this good, it deserves to be packed. We left full, happy, with my son already planning his bday dinner here. If you’re craving bold flavors and a generous, family-style meal, this spot is def a hidden gem waiting to be discovered!

Stopped by at this restaurant just by chance as we were driving by. I am so glad we did. We ordered cheese rolls, Simit, chicken shish, beef tantuni, and something they customized for us called Palace Kebab. I can not begin to explain how flavorful everything was. I have been to countless Turkish Restaurants and having grown up around Turkish food, I can honestly say that this place has has delicious food, juicy food. We love about an hour away, but we are definitely coming back.
The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcomed. There was bread for the table as soon as you walk in. They even gave us baklava on the house when we were done.

10/10 amazing food!! From the lamb to the chicken kabob, every dish was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The grape leaves were delicious. Beyti kabobs HAD CHEESE IN IT. Literally the best I’ve had. The service was fantastic and the decor was on point. Would definitely recommend coming here whenever you’re craving kabobs or just want some comfort food with amazing people!

I asked a food Facebook group for a place to get Lahmacun and this place was recommended. Holy smokes is the food here incredible. My husband said it’s now in his top 5 places in all of the Chicago area. I do not disagree. Everything is so fresh and packed full of flavor. We got there when they opened so the Lahmacun wasn’t ready so we didn’t get to try it. That was disappointing but nothing about the food we did order was disappointing. I got the meatballs and my husband got a chicken wrap. Also shared the flat bread. 11/10. I want to go back tomorrow. If you only go out for one thing this month, make it this place. Also our server Nicky was amazing. No notes, this place is perfect.
