Of course the dill rice is always perfect and the green spicy sauce is a definite must as a dab that will add a perfect kick to each bite. My friends and I hit Noon at least once a month for our "vent session" and the waitstaff know us by now. They know we will need a nice glass of wine (heavy pour is needed-lol). And they bring the food in waves so we have time to sit and enjoy. I love this place on a weeknight because it is always bustling with people. Families, groups of older gents out for their weekly get together and friends like my table. Love the vibe! Please know- you can choose the dine in "north side" of the building for a nice outing with full bar service or you can choose the "south side" entrance for a casual faster service vibe geared for delivery pick up and tv to watch for a quick dine in. I find the staff to be very nice, welcoming and they will explain anything you don't know about. The menu is very detailed and lots of pictures. Last week, Jorge, our server, made sure our wine glasses were full and told me I would love the chicken fassenjan. As always- his suggestion turned out to be my new favorite!! Thanks, Jorge! You know we will be back-

Of all my trips to Albany Park, I can't believe this was my first time trying Salam. Creamy, spicy…read morehummus with light, fluffy pita...perfect. Other small plates that were excellent were the falafel (complete with sauces) and the grape leaves. Onto the mains, the kifta plate and chicken shawarma plate were top-tier...so well-spiced that no sauces are needed but they do provide them if you want to switch it up. Finally, you have to end the meal with something sweet: baklava! Special shout-out to the friendly staff, cute yet unpretentious space, and free parking lot! After only one trip, this has already become one of my favorite Middle Eastern restaurants in Chicago, which is certainly saying something given the strong competition (especially in Albany Park)!

Had a lot of take home to split. Everything here is great. The chicken Berlin is worth fighting over. I tried the chicken doner Iskender-so tasty!. The large, flavorful mixed grill contributed to the food overload. Lots of take home, yumm! Along the way we also had their hummos appetizer, homemade bread, yogurt (sprinkled with crushed walnuts & drizzled with olive oil). Finished with a bite of their homemade baklava with walnuts. Everybody left happy and full. Great flavors. Co-owner John hails from Aleppo, Syria and took refuge in Turkey, just across the border. He has done a very good job of learning English, and has brought an awesome restaurant to my neighborhood. Better pics next time!

I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile, and finally went today for lunch with one of my buds. I presume this is a small family-run business. A young man was our server and rung us up at the register too, though I do not believe he did the cooking of our meals. They serve familiar Turkish dishes, and if you do not know them then the pictures on the menu will be quite helpful. The place has a homey atmosphere, and there was a minimal lunch crowd this Saturday afternoon so the food came out fairly quickly after we placed our orders. I enjoyed my "kofte tabak" (kofte plate) with grilled meat mini-patties, rice with chickpeas, two kinds of "wraps" and a side salad. It was pretty good, though could have used a flavor boost with some sauce or other condiment. My bud ordered the "tavuk izgara" (grilled chicken), which he seemed to like though one of the chicken chunks was undercooked so he left that piece alone. We ordered cans of soft drinks, and were also served a small pitcher of ice water. I'm glad to have a Turkish food option in my 'hood now, and though our lunch was "good not great" I think My Doner is worth another try sometime.
