    Mastava soup
    Nick P.

    This was my second time trying central Asian cuisine. My first experience was not very good. Anjir was a relief. I wanted to clarify but if you want to order food or ask for something, then you need to flag down the waiter. I believe they are short staffed with only two servers. They have two different ways to dine in, you have the regular and the traditional. Traditional way is you taking off your shoes, stepping onto a platform, sitting Indian style (cross leg). We ordered ko'za soup, fatir, kazan kebab, jiz biz, and spartak cake. Portion sizes were very generous, so don't order more than you can eat. Prices were fair for the portions. Overall, it's about 3.5. I'll round it to 4 since there's not a lot of Uzbek restaurants in the area. -ko'za soup 5 - very wholesome soup. Lamb, potato, and veggies. Broth is hearty. -fatir 5 - flaky and soft, tastes really good if you dip it in soup. -jiz biz - 3.5 - lamb chops with French fries. So, the French fries I feel should not be on this plate because it just seems too American. For this type of cuisine, the lamb chops would be better off with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers. The lamb chops were cooked about medium, I would have preferred medium rare to keep it juicy. Medium was kind of dry. -kazan kebab 5 - The beef was tender to cut and it was juicy. It has a good amount of veggies to even out the meat. Portion size was big. -spartak cake 3.5 - very generous piece of cake. Unfortunately, it just tasted like a regular rich, chocolate cake. I was expecting a bit more from an Eastern European cake. It's good but I just had higher expectations. I'm sure this will satisfy the average American.

    This is my third time here because I can't wait to try the beef noodles. It's tasty and definitely highly recommended! the salad I have to skip the cheese coz my doctor said No cheese for my diet, but still very refreshing. No wonder it tastes so like home food in Xinjiang(China), where I tried similar food in 2010, after chatting with the boss and I found out the chef is from there! No wonder! The friends or families of the boss even speak Chinese to me! What a pleasant surprise! they are very nice and friendly people. I will come again with my friends next time. I bet the lamb is going to be the best, but I have to wait until I am totally recovered from the pancreatitis.

    I was. Wet delighted when I walked in here with my family. The setting was very traditional and felt very cozy. We were greeted at the front as soon was we walked in and we're immediately seated. We at the traditional elevated cushions were you take your shoes off. We order a few different items from the menu and shared. The bread was made fresh. The meats were very most and easy to cut. The rices dishes were fresh and full of flavor. Also try their pomegranate tea.

    Under the category of different cuisines, this Uzbek restaurant is the place to try! They have some regular tables plus some tables in which you sit on rugs on a raised platform. We tried a couple appetizers Beef Samsa, and Manti both with a beef filling; meat was a little fatty so not our favorite but we really enjoyed the lamb Pilaf, homemade noodles with beef and chicken skewers, very juicy and succulent. It's a little bright inside, not really dining ambiance but I appreciated they didn't have loud music blaring, we could actually hold a conversation with televisions playing nature sounds. We'll come back for the noodles and chicken skewers.

    Note: This location used to be Makon restaurant, which was also Uzbek cuisine. However, Makon went progressively downhill. It started off good, then each subsequent visit seemed to be worse (i.e. understaffed, changes in chefs, lack of consistency with common dishes, lack of availability of menu items). Anyway, it's now a new Uzbek restaurant called Anjir and under new ownership. Anjir has been open for about a month now. The interior is spacious and well-appointed. It's perfectly suitable for large groups. They have regular tables as well as traditional floor-style seating. They have a small prayer room in the back near the washrooms. They even have a pet bird. The menu had a great selection of items. We ordered a dumpling soup, a manti entree, and a mixed selection of meats: lamb chops, beef kabob, chicken kabob, lyulya (lamb) kabob, and a veggie (non-meat) kabob. When I went to wash my hands later, I noticed that they sell meats you can buy and grill at home. They also have homemade cakes, so I got a slice of honey cake to-go. They also served us a nice round bread as a complimentary app. The dumpling soup was excellent. It would be perfect for a cold winter night. The dumplings were small and easy to consume, and the broth was flavorful. It had dill, but was not overpowering. The manti was very good. These are also steamed dumplings, but larger than what was in the soup. It was served with what I believe is lubna, or yogurt. From the mixed meats, everything was grilled well. The ground beef kabob was my favorite because it was so juicy and flavorful. The lamb chops were also flavorful, but I had to muscle off the fat first. In general, all the meats were fatty, but I believe this is normal for this cuisine. The grilled veggies were nice. They also had some sort of cold salsa on the side (not really salsa), which was tasty but I would have liked it at room temperature. The meats were served with white rice, which I liked but was a bit al dente for my wife. I only had a little bit of the honey cake as of this writing, but it tasted great. Nice and creamy. Similar to the honey cake I've had from Jibek Jolu. Our total bill was high ($120 w/ tax & tip), but this is because of the variety of meats we got. Thankfully we had leftovers. Plus, this isn't a fast food or fast casual restaurant. You're paying for good quality food, superb service, and nice ambiance. Definitely a nice spot for a fancy dinner. And they assured me the meats are 100% halal/zabihah.

    First time trying Uzbek food in Chicagoland area. Owner is Abur Rehman and he was very kind and hospitable (met him on my way out). I was amazed by the bread alone, it was probably one of the best soft inside and crisp outside lot of bread I have had at a restaurant. The excellent assortment of kebabs we had were juicy and delicious, the rice pilaf with beef was just as aromatic and was nicely presented and filling. We particular enjoyed the noodle dishes and of course the dumplings. Highly recommend this place for Uzbek food.

    Good food and great ambiance. The service is impeccable. Very kind staff and they take their time to explain the details of the food on the menu. The price is a bit high for the portion size and they were out of the pilaf by 7.30pm so did not get to try it. But overall, would definitely recommend this great halal place.

    Fried Lagman (Beef Noodle), and  Pilaf
    Sara A.

    My husband had the pliaf and I had their Fried lagman( beef noodle). The meat was delicious and tender! The dining experience was fun. Their green tea is delicious! The only thing I would say is, I wish their serving portion for the pilaf was bigger.

    2 Tashkent Pilaf

    This was our first visit to this Uzbek restaurant. When we came in the server never greeted us. He left the menus on the table and said nothing. We were waiting for him for more than 10 minutes just to make an order. He was the only one server for the entire restaurant. Next thing, they didn't have anything available on the menu but only Tashkent pilaf and Samsy which we've ordered. We were so disappointed as the Tashkent Pilaf's rice was uncooked and sticky to teeth. Uzbek pilaf is the number one traditional dish of Uzbekistan but this was so unfortunate their chef can't make it properly. We also got water only after asking for the second time as the server forgot and never came back to our table. When we asked for samsy, he said they don't have any. So the server took the order but forgot to mention they didn't have samsy at the first place and made us wait for it. In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant as they have the worst Uzbek pilaf. It should be such a shame for Uzbek restaurant to serve uncooked and worst Uzbek pilaf in the area.

    The service was so fast and the food was very well done! I got the pilaf and the Greek salad both were very yummy our waiter was really helpful when we were ordering and the owner was really nice a well!! Make sure to save room for dessert

The gentleman serving us seemed to be the only one there, but he was friendly. We ordered a taktouka sampler, mixed grill platter, and lamb shank tagine. If you go to a Moroccan restaurant, you've got to get tagine. It took a little while for the food to come out, but overall it was excellent. The taktouka sampler was full of veggies. It was tasty, but I wish the carrots were cooked more to soften them. The mixed grill platter had chicken and beef kabobs, as well as something like a kefta (ground meat) kabob. The meats and rice were good, although the beef and chicken could have been more tender and juicy. The white sauce was a nice accompaniment. The lamb shank was excellent; nice tender meat, tasty rice, and delicious supplemental flavors from the figs and apricots. Overall, a very nice lunch.

Our server, Umberto, was attentive and pleasant and took good care of us; he was the best part of our evening. However, this is the first and last time I'll ever eat at Entourage. They promise "a dining experience" on their website, but I could get the same experience at your average Chili's or TGIFriday's without the pretense. Why do I say that? It's the noise...oh, the noise. There were a few tables with large parties, so it was pretty loud. Even leaning in closely, it was hard for my friend and me to hear each other talk. And the screaming kids were something else, emitting ear-piercing screams that get your attention, for all the wrong reasons. I didn't see any staff ask the large parties to keep it down or ask the parents to manage their children, which I guess I can understand. Large parties = more revenue than a two-top. But we did not - could not - linger after we ate our meals, or order coffee, dessert, and/or an after-dinner drink, because it was just too loud in there.

Tacochela is one of those places you go to the counter and tell them items you want as they put your order together. Lots of things to choose from. You can get meats or vegan options for proteins and there's quite a few sides. Coming in for lunch there was a line. It's usually not a long wait and it wasn't this time. They have tacos obviously as well as burritos and tortas so you can get whatever. Has a pretty easy to understand menu. It's about $4 per taco. Get a combo and save a couple bucks. The combos add a drink and a side. For vegetarians the sides includes things like beans and rice, separate or together as one. We got a few of the tacos with the plant protein, and with the fried sweet potatoes. Filling. There was quite enough for us and glad we chose only a few tacos. Great stuff that is full of flavor. It's located in a strip mall at Belmont and Ogden. There's plenty of things for vegans.
