I-Cafe Sukur's Place

Great traditional Turkish meals here. It might not be the fanciest Turkish restaurant but the food is the best. And Turkish tea...

About the looks when you walk-in: its not that you look like an alien, its just people hanging out there mostly know each other and its a tradition to welcome people that walks-in. As usually men are hanging out there, going there by yourself(for ladies) may be a little unconfortable.
Breakfast plate along with tea is highly recommended...

This is a Taxi Driver's hang out, with awesome, inexpensive and HALAL food.  If you are a girl, I do not recommend going here alone.  But, if you go with a group of friends, it is better.  The kebab here is A MAZ ING.  I cannot wait to try the Pide /Lamacun.  I think the owner is Turkish, and one of the chefs is eithe Tajik or Turkmen or Khazak or Uzbek.  So Turkish is spoken here, and it is under the Irving Park Brown Line.   Cash Only.

I love the steak sandwich and lentil soup. They're great every time I go!
