Yagmur Sahutoglu really knows how to put on a show. He doesn't just own the place, he's also the live entertainment, singing Turkish songs to pump up the late-night crowd his Andersonville eatery. Belly dancers also perform during weekends, and Arkadash hosts Turkish tribal dancers the first Friday of every month.
Yagmur doesn't do the cooking though; Turkish chefs man the kitchen, preparing such appetizers as sigara boregi (phyllo dough stuffed with feta cheese), mucver (deep-fried zucchini pancakes) and patlican salatasi (eggplant salad). Entrees feature grilled red snapper in pomegranate sauce; Turkish tortellini stuffed with spiced ground lamb in a yogurt-and-tomato butter sauce; and lahmacun, Turkish-style pizza. Desserts include kasefe, apricots and walnuts topped with whipped cream and firinda sutlac, an oven-baked rice pudding. The bar stocks Turkish beer and wine, and raki, the anise-spiked Turkish brandy. Hookah pipes are popular here with a variety of shisha (tobacco) flavors.
Hours: 11 a.m.-midnight, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday; 11 a.m.- 2 a.m., Wednesday; 11 a.m.-2 a.m., Friday, Sunday; 11 a.m.-3 a.m., Saturday

2833 N. Broadway
773-880-0063
Cousin's started out as a hole-in-the-wall and in just a few years has moved to a larger space, tripled the size of its menu and opened a second location (5203 N. Clark St.). The menu has incredible variety, offering no fewer than 70 different choices--from a simple feta cheese appetizer to a lamb chop combo to Moroccan seafood couscous. At $12.95, the lamb chop combo is the most expensive thing on the menu, which generally hovers around $7 for entrees. Cousin's is an incredible value for exotic food. It does a bang-up delivery business, too.
Hours: 4:30 p.m.-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 4:30 p.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday

This new Roscoe Village restaurant features Turkish specialties like kebobs, flat breads, and...The owners of this spot wanted to create a modern Turkish restaurant with a goal to dazzle with the food instead of overwhelm with the decor. The menu features Turkish specialties with starters like sogurme, smoked eggplant with yogurt, garlic and walnuts toasted in crushed red pepper; and lakerde, aged mackerel with marinated onion and arugula. Entrees feature the lamb begendi; the lamb is slow-simmered with onions, cherry tomatoes and banana peppers and served over eggplant puree. Another choice: onion kebab, with hand-chopped lamb and beef, caramelized shallots, rosemary, and raisins braised in pomegranate sauce. Turkish flat breads (similar to thin-crust pizza) include the lahmacun, topped with seasoned ground beef and vegetables. Dessert best bets include a super-rich house-made baklava and the baked quince in syrup and cream.
Hours: 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m.-midnight, Friday through Saturday; 11 a.m.- 10 p.m., Sunday

Someone posted Cousins for Turkish food. I've been there three times and each time the food was good, but the service is always iffy. The third time, the service was terrible and since then I haven't been back. Good food, reasonably priced, so-so service.

They have belly dancers there!!!!!!!!
I L-O-V-E Arkadash. I have been to scores of Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurants but the best food is in Arkadash. There's entertainment too - the Eastern Muslim style. I am from around that area (Middle East) and I feel so like at home when in Arkadash.
They have live Arabic and Turkish music on Saturdays and Sundays after 9-10 pm. People also dance to the traditional Middle Eastern rhythms. I do. And enjoy it very much.
Best thing to try there is the combo platter - as that way you'd get to sample there grilled meats, Turkish bread ( where I'm from we call it " lavash") topped with sesame seeds is to die for, appetizers are good and the meats are mouth watering.
