Kevin M. McNally, CMP: Amazing restaurant dining. Great décor. Make reservations. My choices were these. Lamb Ragu, Charred Lamb Tartare, Slow Braised Leg of Lamb wrapped in Eggplant. Delicious Wine list. Terrific service!
Miro Vejchoda: Great food and atmosphere
Bianca: The perfect place for an afternoon bite. All the dishes are fresh and tasty-spreads served with warm pita, slices of beef, grilled brussels sprouts. The octopus was disappointing (too mushy)

Manoj Ambalavanan: Excellent meal, make sure to get the fried pig ears and the butternut squash créeme brûlée for dessert. Many great options with an equally extensive wine list
Mauricio Alvarez: The Spanish octopus is to die for. The pork slade is also great. Good drinks. Very crowded, they don’t take reservations, it took us 1:20 to get a table for 2 on a friday night. Worth it though.
Mauricio Alvarez: Octopus the best of the best

Matt www.Travelyaps.com: Out of all the fig & olives I've been to so far, this is the nicest one. Great part of town. Great lounge seating.
Stefanie: Absolutely gorgeous space inside and out! Lobster bisque special was disappointing...wish I ordered the pasta!
Antoinette Arnold: The cucumber Cosmo is really good. You can go wrong with the truffle mushroom croquette for an appetizer.

Andy Flamm: Sit outside if the weather is nice. The hummus and the lamb sausage wrap (forgot the name) are delicious, but the real star is the complimentary bread, which is amazing.
Mark Rasmussen: The fresh baked bread is brilliant.
Serious Eats: The food at this solid Turkish joint holds up well to delivery.

Ajana A.: Food here was wonderful. Fresh and special. Definitely need to try the gnocchi with Ox tail and the seafood stew. The Torrontes (Argentina) wine was just the right pairing.
Time Out Chicago: We wolf down the manti (Turkish ravioli stuffed with bits of lamb in a creamy yogurt–and–chili oil sauce), whole slabs of juicy, salt-crusted bream and some of the best hummus around.
Victoria Furse: Best Turkish food in chicago! All of my Turkish friends say the same! Be sure to try the famous lahmacun and desserts cuz they r the best!
