Here, meals are less about rushing and more about connection. The mixed grills and thoughtfully arranged platters encourage sharing, sparking conversation across the table.

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!

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!

The food you served will remain memorable, both in its flavor and in the feeling it brought. I sincerely thank you for your effort, your kindness, and the exceptional quality of the meal you prepared. Wishing you and your wonderful establishment continued success, happy customers, and days filled with prosperity and joy.

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!

The food was perfectly seasoned, the service outstanding and because it was our first time, our server was helpful by guiding us through the menu. We decided to do the family style large kebab platter with sides and were very pleased. Overall, I would recommend anyone to give this place a try but be sure to go hungry!

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.

Visited this place yesterday. Their breakfast is fine for one person inside. Same order takeout is much smaller and may not worth the price. Overall i will be back
