Best service EVER! Very attentive serving staff, amazing food. Music is not loud and the ambience is laid back, non pretentious and very relaxing. Kurdish tea is simply the best. Honey salmon, stuffed chicken, sampler appetizer, salads and dessert, all SPOT ON!

Gundis is easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Chicago. We were a group of four and visited for three consecutive days — for both breakfast and dinner — which says everything about the quality.

The food is exceptional: authentic Kurdish cuisine, high-quality ingredients, excellent presentation, and consistent flavor across every visit. Every dish we tried was outstanding.

Service was equally impressive. Lokman provided professional, attentive, and friendly service throughout our visits. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience each time.

If you are looking for authentic Kurdish food combined with top-tier hospitality in Chicago, Gundis should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended.

We have never experienced Kurdish cuisine before and we both loved it. Our waiter was very helpful when we had questions regarding the menu. The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was inviting. We will definitely return.

We had a fantastic dinner at Gundi's Kitchen. The menu choices are all delicious, the service is excellent, and it is clearly a very popular place to be! It can get quite noisy when it is full, but it's definitely worth going. We will be back!

Delicious, authentic Kurdish food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend going for the two person breakfast which comes out in many plates with great bread. The Suçuk scramble is out of this world. Highly recommend.

A really pleasant and inviting place to chat with a delicious breakfast! The staff was so kind and welcoming. The food was delicious and it was easy to make the Kurdish breakfast vegetarian. Their homemade bread was sooo good.

Found this via Reddit when looking for a unique breakfast option in Chicago. Presentation and service here were exceptional with the Kurdish coffee a unique treat (similar to Turkish coffee but creamy and smooth).

We got the Kurdish Breakfast for two with the lamb egg scramble, which was great. Olives were fresh and delicious, the jams all paired well with the bread and the black sesame butter was a nice savory taste to experiment with. My wife loved the fries (I prefer crispier but the flavor was great) and I enjoyed all 3 of the cheeses.

The Kurdish tea is served with sugar cubes and with the added sweetness is great.

The dish I ordered didn't have much flavor. However, the other 5 people with me enjoyed their food. The prices were high.

My partner and I always come back to Gundis when we are in Chicago. The food is the best Kurdish food in town. Fabulous wine choices. Reasonable prices. And the owner/manager and staff are extremely courteous. Thank you, Gundis friends!
