Gundis Kurdish Kitchen

Top choice in Chicago


The owners, who hail from southern Turkey, prepare meals from their Kurdish homeland. Dishes include sac tawa, a traditional stir-fry of meat, peppers and tomatoes on a sizzling plate, and tirsik, a stew of eggplant, carrots and other veggies in a spicy sauce. Sunshine streams into the airy, exposed-brick room by day, while pendant lights create a romantic vibe at night.
