Devrim Cleaners & Devrim Cab

Why would you take your dry cleaning elsewhere?

by tbwus at Citysearch

I highly recommend Devrim Cleaners.

Figo and Alex have been taking care of me since 1999, during which time I have never had a bad experience. I?ve had my up?s and down?s with numerous dry cleaners before Devrim, and I don?t plan on going back to them any time soon. Not only do you go to Devrim for excellent service and quality of work, but it?s a rare thing in today?s world to have such amazing personality in a dry cleaners. When you walk into Devrim, you feel as if you?ve went into your local hangout to see what?s going on, while Figo knows your name, asks how?s things are going, he offers you a soda, candy, a dog treat if I take my dog, a beer if I looked like I?ve had a bad day, and even a tootsie roll for my wife at home since he knows she likes them. I?ve gone through the reviews and couldn?t believe the cyberlady gave Devrim below average, but then I looked at her other five reviews on Citysearch and realized that it?s her best rating she?s ever given. In the 8 years I?ve been going to Devrim, they have been able to get out multiple stains for me but have always told me there is no guarantee that the stain could be removed, and he would see what they could do. Figo is amazing person, talented, professional, and hard-working.

I strongly recommend Devrim Cleaners to anyone.

• Pros: Great Service, Great People
• Cons: You may end up getting in trouble with your wife by having a beer or two

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!

Best service, seamstress and beyond!!!

by forinvesta at Citysearch

Can't find words to describe how grateful I am for the job done by Nina! She's the best seamstress I ever had!!! Fast turnaround and best quality services!!! She's the only person I trust with altering my clothes! Nina, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

• Pros: ALL THUMBS UP!!!

Luv this place!

by funchigirl at Citysearch

I brought my favorite dress in for alterations. Nina, seamstress, has done an excellent job! I highly recommend her services to someone who's looking for a right seamstress. Thanks, Nina! I'll be back again! :)

• Pros: Excellent customer-oriented service
• Cons: It might take you couple mins to find parking in the area

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
