A MUST!! The food was seriously so delicious and the service was great too. We shared 5 dishes and every single one blew us away. Avaspi is a top 3 Chicago restaurant for me now without a doubt.
Very delicious food. The Lamb Delight was excellent as well as their Turkish coffee martini!

Unassuming location, but really great Mediterranean food at a very reasonable price. The sampler of mezzo was tasty, and the lamb chops were tender and delicious. Service was quick and pleasant. We sat outside in the evening and it wasn’t too loud from Belmont traffic and was a nice ambiance from the lights as it gets dark. We’d definitely go again.
Such a lovely restaurant. The ambience is lovely and the vibe is cozy. The food is very tasty! Excellent service. A hidden gem - don’t miss it. ❤️

I absolutely loved Avaspi. The food was incredible and the service was ultra friendly. It was a perfect experience before a concert at the Vic Theatre. I liked it so much but I made a review on my TikTok channel in Spanish! Look for @andresenchicago

Went to Avaspi last Sunday for brunch and loved it! The place is beautiful inside, and the service was great. Our server, Ozgur, was super friendly and checked in on us a lot.
The Goat Cheese Tomato Dip and Coconut Cake were our favorites — both were so flavorful and perfectly balanced.
Wow! What an amazing dining experience! Our server Emin (SP) was top notch! Front door staff were awesome too! Every staff member was amazing! Such quality and attentive staff both front and back house did an amazing job!
And!!! The food was unbelievably amazing. So much flavors and varieties of tastes and spices with each dish. Each food item was a journey of quality and tasty experiences. We had a couple of appetizers and the Avaspi meal for 2. Goat cheese was creamy and delicious. Meats perfectly cooked and seasoned and tender! A touch of flame char on the breads and meats just enhance the flavor experience into the realm of sublime. Location is great for making a night of food and entertainment. Parking is street only, so give yourself a bit of time to find close street paid parking. Tip: the on way streets north of the restaurant have a few paid parking spots available early at 5pm ish. I was able to park just West of the restaurant. A few steps from the front door! But you have to snake your way through the residential neighborhood. As the streets are one way.
Inside the restaurant, lighting was low and the mood was quality personal. Some Mediterranean/middle eastern themed music played softly to enhance the dining experience. We dressed to impress for business casual. Went to a local show just down the street, so dining here was amazing and convient.
Lastly: a fully stocked bar with quality spirits and options. Something you dont see too often nowadays. Even after dinner wines. Impressive dinning experience!
Food was expensive, but great. Mostly empty though.

Amazing food! I went here last night with friends and we were all raving about it. I ordered the chicken skewers for my main course and I’ve truly never had better. We shared a bunch of apps - the dates were delicious. We also had a great experience with the staff who were so responsive and constantly refilling our waters and seeing what else we needed.

Avaspi deserves the average 5 stars it has on reviews.. Everything!! including their plain white rice (I don’t think it’s plain) tastes so delicious and so flavorful. Their Kebobs are the most tender and juicy, the Soujouk Menemen breakfast for two, Olive Calamari (Not battered), Stuffed dates, Turkish Espresso Martini - I will be back again and again to try everything on the menu! This was my second time and I’m glad they’re maintaining the high standards they set the first time. So Impressive! They also gave our group lovely Baklava complimentary! Their staff is setting a very high standard in service and hospitality. They’re a class apart.
