we ordered lamb shank, signature soup, and the special pizza.
Everything with bread are really good.
For the lamb shank, if it is more tender that would be perfect.
The sitting in the back is a bit narrow and quite noisy, if you can, do not sit in the back, I can barely hear what my partner was saying with music on.

I recently dined at Turquoise café and restaurant in Chicago, and overall, it was a pleasant experience.
The food was decent, with their mix grill standing out as particularly tender and well-seasoned.
However, I found their mezza platter to be just okay, lacking the appetizing factor I was hoping for.
On the brighter side, their salads were fresh and delightful.
Their Lahem Ajun is crispy and well baked.
But what truly stole the show for me was their Arak; it was incredibly delicious and refreshing, adding a perfect touch to the meal.

Lovely lunch in a lovely place! Excellent lentil soup with the right texture and a touch of spicy “heat,” a salad full of surprising textures and tastes, (with poached pears exquisitely combined the crunchy walnuts and crisp arugula and fennel greens, with house dressing that blended it all together beautifully), and a real treat of fresh baked bread and a complimentary spread that was an excellent appetizer. This was my first visit! The extensive menu obviously calls for additional visits and deeper exploration of things.
Since I am from former Yugoslavia, (more specifically, from Sarajevo, Bosnia), many Turkish foods, sweets, and drinks are very familiar, and I love finding them in Roscoe Village! All this combined with very pleasant reception by a friendly staff, gave the experience an additional glow! No doubt, I will be coming back!
