Hands down, the BEST Dry Cleaners in Illinois

by danielwelsh at Citysearch

Devrim Cleaners is by far Chicago's best dry cleaning service known to mankind! Devrim provides excellent quality dry cleaning & tailoring services.

I have been a completly satisfied customer of Figo (owner) for 3 1/2 years now, & would not consider using any other dry cleaner inthe city.

The cleaning service is excellent, but I enjoy the personal treatment I receive from Figo, Alex and Nina every time I visit their store. They greet you with a friendly smile and hello, offer you a drink of your choice, know the names of my family and hand out tootsie rolls and dog treats on every visit.

Once you try Devrim for the first time, you will be hooked on their personal service style. !

• Pros: Service, quality, price
• Cons: None

Avg Cust Svc - Bad Dry Cleaner

by tritcher at Citysearch

I tried these guys out because 1.)They are close to me, and 2.) They had so many good reviews. I don't believe these reviews, because after taking clothes there twice, I've noticed that my shirts do not seem clean, and they are not pressed, well, they have wrinkle spots in various places pressed into the shirts. Also, THEY TAKE OUT ALL OF YOUR COLLAR STAYS and DO NOT give them back to you. You have to pick up random shirt stays from their little basket.

• Pros: Cheap
• Cons: Bad Dry Cleaning - Steal Collar Stays

Superb alterations, great service and personnel

by mobservateur at Citysearch

Expect to be greeted by Alex and Nina the minute you walk in to the place!! Alex is such a helpful person and, most importantly, he remembers your name!! Nina (I call her my personal tailor) has been doing alterations for me and she's doing a superb job!!

• Pros: Close to my house
• Cons: Plan to spend 5 min looking for a parking

Nina is the Best Tailor in the area!!!

by happy2009 at Citysearch

My girlfriends have been customers of Devrim Cleaners for over a year and have recommended this place for the best alteration service in Chicago. I had an important occassion coming up and my dress had to be altered. Therefore, I wanted the best tailor possible.... and I think, I found her. Nina exceeded my expectations!! She's definitely the best one I ever had!!! I'd highly recommend Nina to anyone who needs his favorite piece to be altered. Thank you, Nina!!! You're the best!!!

• Cons: Parking might be difficult

Best Boss and Cleaners

by racso15y at Citysearch

All these reviews are not fake, i have worked for him for about 6 months on Ada, he is very nice to every customer, and was the same to me. It is hard to make him mad and he always likes to joke around. Great Person. Great Store.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Nothing

Negative reviews are not to be believed!

by Lululinder at Citysearch

"Don't be fooled" has apparently not dealt with very many decent merchants as once you meet Figo, you see why he has so many positive reviews. He is truly a remarkably kind and caring man and he remembers his clients names and addresses them as so. What he offers is both RARE and GENUINE! I just sent my daughter from the Humboldt Park/Logan Square area to his Southport location for some tailoring she is seeking to have done. I am in sales and work with business owners. His business DNA should be cloned! It is the negative reviewer whose motive I question?!

• Pros: Kindest man in business, trustworthy
• Cons: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? NOT A ONE!

Loyal Customer

by sakarooni at Citysearch

I had to write a review when I read the "review" by "Don't be fooled." It is obvious that this individual has never been to Devrim Cleaners. Both Figo and his manager Alex are truly friendly and kind and we are always very pleased with the way our clothes are cleaned. We had a particularly tough stain not come out and they insisted that they take it back and try again without my even asking. I know it may seem fake to have so many effusive compliments for a dry cleaners but after having gone there for years, I can tell you that these reviewers are being honest. Figo is a good man and he maintains a great business.

• Pros: Friendly service; clean and well pressed clothes.
• Cons: Can't think of any.

The Real Deal

by susan_j at Citysearch

At Devrim Cleaners, you start out by being a customer, then move quickly to being a friend and loyal supporter. Google Figo Topal, and see the unbiased editorial articles that have been written about him in the Trib and Suntimes The service is impeccable and WAY above and beyond. What other dry cleaner will open up on a Sunday just to help out a customer in a bind?--true story--or make a home delivery (which is not part of their service) to a sick customer? These are not slick, avaricious businessmen. Figo, Mina and Alex are the real deal, and that is a rare find.

• Pros: Above and beyond service
• Cons: Not if I tried

DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by thill1972 at Citysearch

By all of these great reviews.. Reviews should be honest, genuine opinions that were spurred on by excellent - or poor service. Take a look at the dates on these reviews - so far, ALL 46 reviews (as of 6/28/07) have been posted in the last 2 months! Funny, since in the several years Citysearch has had this rating system in place, I think every other cleaner in Chicago COMBINED has maybe 10 reviews - but this tiny little place (That doesn't even do their own cleaning!) has 46 reviews in 2 months? Smells fishy to me - he either got all his buddies to log in and post, or he's bribing customers with discounts for positive reviews... DON"T BE FOOLED!!!!!!

• Pros: None
• Cons: False reviews
