I do recommend this restaurant. We were greeted by a lady in the front area, it was later in the evening, so the restaurant was close to closing. It was quiet and clean at that time. Had a craving for a burger, I saw it on the menu and I asked the lady if she would recommend it. She said it was her top three. And so I ordered the burger. It was delicious. The patty was thick and juicy, and all the toppings made it a perfect bite. Perhaps we will go and try some other foods, I do recommend, they do have great reviews.

First time to Springfield IL in the past 5 years. Found this place searching to dinner. I lived in Turkey (Izmir) in 1982-1985 in high school while my dad was a linguist at NATO. This is the best place I have eaten authentic Turkish food. Top 3 1st: Tulips (Milwaukee, WI-went out of business during COVId) 2nd: Anatalya (Nashville, TN) Moving these 2 down and moving Ugly Restaurant and Bar Turkish Grill to 1st !!!!! I will be back. Made my day. 5 out of 5 stars rating !!!!! çok teşekkür ederim John

Absolutely amazing food! The staff is truly wonderful and so nice. I will definitely be eating here more often!

It's a great place to take people to eat good food, but it's not a date place because there are a lot of tv's. Server was great and was very passionate about the Adana Kabob and he was right. It was delicious! The tomato and onion salad (with sumac I think) was excellent and so were the grilled veggies. With also enjoyed the cigar borek for an appetizer. The spicy sauce has nice heat. We're from out of town, but we'd definitely go back again.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. The complimentary carrot salad was interesting. My husband enjoyed his Doner wrap. The sampler appetizer was a great way to try several staple dishes. The falafel was fabulous. The cigar borek was good. The hummus was bitter--a little smoked paprika and salt would go a long way. The Kibbeh was very good and 3 of the 4 were cooked well... but the last one was burned. Overall this was good food and I'd come back again!

I must admit we were hesitant to visit this place. The name is, and I do not mean to offend, quite odd at least to someone who grew up in Central Illinois. Likewise, I have not had Turkish food. To summarize our experience in one word I would say impressive. The food was flavorful, well presented, and just plain good. The people were even better than the food. They were patient with us and helped us to order things we would like, and they were right. I was glad we went when there were six of us and we ordered things in such a way that it was easy to share. I hope more people overcome their internal thoughts like the ones I had and give this a place a try as I think you'll like it. We now order it to-go when family is in town because it's a great way to share good food and new experiences!

This is a Springfield hidden gem. The food was delicious. We didnt leave anything behind. We couldnt tell out of the 4 meats which one was the favorite Staff were extremely helpful and make the experience even better. The restaurant wasnt too busy. A plus is the beer is only $4 and they have a nice wine selection as well.

Delicious food! The Beef Guvec was fantastic! What a great mix of flavors that complement each other so well! The Iskender Doner was also very tasty! Our server was very attentive and friendly. A must try in Springfield!

This is a newly opened restaurant in town. Glad to give it a try in its first month! I ordered Cigar borek and beef guvec. Food was quite delicious. The Cigar borek was stuffed with a generous amount of Turkish white cheese. The guvec dish was even better. It was basically small beef chunks cooked in tomato sauce, with onions tomatoes and mushrooms. The beef was tender and the sauce was very thick and fresh--u can even see smashed tomato inside! It was served with some pita, rice pilaf and a side onion salad, so the portion size was HUGE! The restaurant was so new that there are still places not open now, seems like there will be a gaming place in the future. Service was okay but not very good. My waitress forgot to give me the side salad at first, and I did not know why but she was surprised that I did not want to have a to-go box, which made me a bit awkward. However as it is still new I give 5 stars hoping the business can grow and improve
