Food was very good. I had a chicken kebab and my husband had the beyti kabab. If I rated based on…read morejust food, it would be 4.5! I was a quite disappointed because we went on Saturday at 6:30pm and they were completely out of all pide, ezme, haydari, and the pickles so the menu was pretty limited. We ended up ordering fries as an appetizer since that's all they had. The entrees also said they come with bulgar and rice but we did not have any bulgar on our dish..it also said we should have roasted peppers and onions, which were not on our dish either. I assume they were out of all of those? We really wanted hummus but it was not on the menu. When we finished our meal, we noticed the table behind us had hummus... it would have been nice to know they had hummus. Also, we really wanted to try the manti but did not see it on the menu. At the end of the meal, my husband wanted a coffee and the waitress said there was no coffee and the machine was broke. Service was ok. Waitress forgot our drink. Not very attentive. Dining area is small but cute. They are planning to expand the dining area so there really isn't much of a market anymore. Prices are pretty high in comparison to most Turkish/middle eastern restaurants. They do give you yummy bread and Babaganoush. I want to try it again in hopes that other menu items are available.

A Thousand Tales is a wonderful dining experience. The space is much larger than I expected, with a…read moremain dining room, an attached bakery cafe and what looks like a banquet room in back. Located in a strip mall, there is ample free parking. Staff is unassuming, professional and helpful, willing to help with any menu questions. We came for lunch to celebrate a birthday and it was an excellent choice. The menu has a lot of clean eating options, including vegetarian and keto. We opted to share a lamb pizza, a tomato and cucumber salad and a meat tray. All were excellent, plenty of food. The pita was excellent. The tea at the end was lovely. Prices reasonable, good food good portions. Absolutely worth checking out and adding into the rotation of where to go.

I had a very disappointing experience ordering from Thousand Tales Bakery through their app…read more When I placed my order, the estimated delivery time was about one hour. After waiting more than 1.5 hours, I called to check the status and found out that my order had not even been prepared. I don't know who I spoke with on the phone, but instead of helping resolve the issue, I was told that I could simply cancel my order. What frustrated me most was the explanation I received: "Sorry, this app doesn't work well." The representative showed little interest in solving the problem. Apparently, the app worked perfectly when it charged my credit card, but when it came to processing and delivering my order, suddenly the app was the issue. Delays can happen, but customers should be informed instead of being left waiting with no updates. I still didn't receive my order after two hours. The customer service was awful, and the lack of communication made the situation even more frustrating. This used to be one of my favorite places, but unfortunately, the quality of service seems to be getting worse.

The entrees were amazing - I had the cod, even though my friends tried to talk me out of it, but I love cod. It was so flaky and flavorful and served on a garlicky potato puree that was amazing. We did start with appetizers including the saganaki, but it definitely had sat too long - it was super flavorful but way different than when they bring it out flaming. The hostess and desk staff were fantastic- called our host by name leaving, which was a nice touch. Our server was very funny and personal, but it was a little firm over function- I felt like he was using his personality as a distraction. I would absolutely come here again as I love Greek food and they also have a nice offering of Greek wine - need to try more!

The smells coming out of the restaurant were leading us inside. The order area was quite crowded as there was a constant line of customers coming and going with the flow of orders. There was a slight mix up with our orders as the front register person gave us the wrong order number which caused the cooks some confusion. Regardless we both ordered the Business Special / chicken breast platter w/ Rice and side salad. Wow!! She was blown away for her 1st experience with this cuisine and is instantly hooked. So thank you guys for the great job of executing a great plate. BTW the cooks were all Mexican but not surprised since this is in the Chicago city limits.

I really wanted to love this place but part of the issue was out of their control, but the other…read morepart, not so sure what happened. This is a pretty busy place for lunch. I did come after the normal lunch hour rush, but it was still a little busy. I ordered a falafel sandwich which I was really looking forward to eating a pita, with lettuce and tahini sauce. When my number was called, I walked up to the counter and asked where my food was and apparently someone took my item. They said they will make it again and since I was in a hurry, I grabbed the item and didn't double check what was inside :( When I finally got to my destination, I was given just falafels :( They were decent, but when I was expecting something else, that's why I give this place a 3 stars.

Cappadocia gets 5 stars for consistently being good! We've ordered from here about 3 times and I…read moreordered the same entree every time (with a variety of sides) and my entree was tasty every single time! I ordered the chicken kebab sandwich and it is flavorful, tastes fresh, and it's not a skimpy. You do get a choice of the type of bread you want, I went with pita. Consistency is so important in restaurants and In so happy that this sandwich hit the mark every single time. We also have tried the pink sultan (beets/yogurt spread) and the baba ghanoush. Both are really good. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the doner and other sides! Service is friendly. Interior looks nice, but we carried out each time so I can't speak in detail about more in-depth service. Great place to have in the neighborhood!

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you are looking for delicious food in a beautiful…read moreroom with excellent service, you've come to the right place. Our server was so kind and never let us make the mistake of ordering the wrong thing. She gave us her recommendations every step of the way and every single one was perfect. What we got: Mint lemonade: 5/5. SO refreshing and delicious. Perfect sweetness and the little bit of pulp you get is great. I only wish there was more of it! Chicken arayes: 4.5/5. Crispy, cheesy, garlicky. Need I say more? Get some extra garlic on the side if you wanna take it up a notch. Fried halloumi: 4/5. These are like a soft mozzarella stick, so tasty. Definitely eat the pickles with them. Lamb chops: 4.5/5. 4 tender lamb chops seasoned beautifully. Definitely recommend the red rice over the yellow if you can handle a little bit of heat. Kanafeh: 5/5. Whoever thought that cheese, sweet syrup, phyllo, and pistachios would go together is a genius. Definitely don't leave without getting this dessert. The salt of the cheese perfectly balances out the sweetness. No notes! And get some peppermint tea to go with it too. And the portion sizes are huge! Definitely get your money's worth here. My only issue is this place is right by my job so now I'm gonna go broke getting food here all the time. But that's a problem I'd love to have!

Tasted good but was a normal Mediterranean salad MEAT SHAWERMA PLATTER (lamb & beef, served with rice, grilled tomatoes and onions. Includes 1 Cup of Tahini Sauce) - Very dry meat. Would have been a 5/5 stars if this dish weren't so dry KUFTA KABAB (Three skewers of our special recipe of ground lamb mixed with parsley, garlic and an array of spices, grilled onions and tomatoes) - good! Pita - great! Nice and fluffy Kenafe - we ordered the type that's supposed to be crispy but it wasn't so crispy. Still yummy though Price - not cheap but the portion is big Service - good!
