I went back to Amante Bakery to try some of their meals yesterday as I only tried their espresso…read morebefore. The food is very good - I tried the Kebabchi plate, and the grilled Sujuk salad. Both had a ton of flavor, and were totally delicious and fresh. I would highly recommend a meal here if you're looking for Bulgarian food and am looking forward to trying more.

I asked for sugarless cookies and they offered some which have very little powder sugar on top…read more OMG, those were my favorite from my childhood yet. Thank you Amante Bakery!

After a more mediocre dinner, I was craving some dessert, and that's what I typed into Yelp - since…read moreit was 11 pm already I wasn't expecting much. But I found this little gem and wished I would have had dinner here. It's a little authentic central Asian food spot. With very rare to find products like Soljanka Goulash or Pirojki. But I was here for dessert and they have a few items for that. I ended up with a flaky layer of (kind of) filo dough a cake that we often had in Germany and it was really good I will come back to Shirin for more when I am in Chicago and you should just try it out and find some new favorites:)

When I saw the words "India" while driving on West Golf Rd. I swerved into their tiny parking lot…read more It's a small store that you can get your local Indian goodies as opposed to the big, chain stores in town that are so busy with long lines at the register. I got spices from their building my spice cupboard, fresh made chapatti and if you're there early, you can get some samosas as well (with the sauce too). If you're making any of starches/bread, they have different kinds of ground up flours. For people that love the convienience of everything in a box, they have an entire isle of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes you can make from one of their boxes of pre-mixed spices. Here and there, I'll buy the sweets they have at the counter (i.e. I see you gulab jamun). Since it's close to our home, it's a standard weekly spot we stop by to grab what we need. I'll be sure to take more pictures of what they have during my visits. P.S. You need to try their mango juice or mango nectar. It's so good.

Zam Zam Market is one of my favorite places for halal groceries…read more They always have fresh and high-quality halal meat, which is very important for our family. The selection is great, and I always feel confident about the freshness. What I really love is the variety of products from Central Asia -- especially items from Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. It's so nice to find familiar foods from home, including snacks, pantry staples, and a wide selection of frozen goods. The store is well-stocked, and you can usually find everything you need in one place. It's a great spot for anyone looking for authentic Central Asian and halal products in the area.

Hands down, this is the best food in the court!…read more At this point I try to come here every time I'm at Woodfield. My favorite is the Steak Shawarma, with the spicy green sauce. Definitely a must to get the fries with all the seasoning. The best part of the shawarma is that there's no need to pick your toppings and feel like there's too many options. It's already set for you and they make it fresh. The only small negative is that last time i was here, one of the people working was a little hard to understand. I wasn't annoyed or anything, it just took a little while to get the order down. Definitely not a dealbreaker and well worth the added time! Don't take my word for it, try it now!

I wanted Falafill to be better than it was…read more.. As a Mediterranean food enthusiast. I was very excited to see this as an option in the woodfield mall. The line was pretty long which gave me an indication that it was popular/good. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered their Falafel bowl, with rice and a bunch of their available options. You are allowed to select 4 and then every topping after that is $1 per topping. This seems a bit extreme as they are NOT generous when adding your selected ingredients. I was expecting a much larger portion, but understand they are a business and have to manage their margins. The food itself was fine. The falafel were just ok, and had been sitting in a container, lacking the crispiness and freshness I am used to normally. For the extra options, everything tasted fine, I just felt skimped on the portions I was given. The highlight for me was the hot sauce that they offer. It was extremely flavorful and had a nice level of heat. I would buy that by the bottle if It was available. I think Falafill is worth a try, but you just have to manage your expectations. They do not come close to the traditional mediterranean restaurants I am used to visiting, but for mall food it's pretty good.

I needed to go grocery shopping, but before the tasks begins hubs and I needed lunch! We walked thru the choices available at the food court and decided that Korean wings would be a tasty lunch meal. We were there just before 3:00 so we ordered the KPopcorn chicken lunch special. It came with tater tots (my fav), popcorn chicken with ddukbokki (ttekbokki) in the OG sauce, and a soft drink. We also got a 5 piece chicken wing in honey sauce and a taro blended smoothie. The popcorn chicken with dduk-bokki was plentiful for a lunch special. The OG sauce is DELICIOUS! It's slightly spicy, sweet, umami, and covered everything well! The popcorn chicken was crispy and juicy, nice plump sized pieces, and the dduk-bokki was nicely seared, chewy, and fresh! The tater tots were fried well and we dipped it in the OG sauce. The wings were larger and juicy, sooooo crispy, and covered in plenty of yum honey sauce. It wasn't a sickly sweet honey sauce, it was well balanced! The taro freeze tasted like taro which is good. I've had it at other places where it just tastes like a cup of slushy ice and a hint of something. The owner (I think he was the owner) was so sweet and was patient while I tried to figure out what we wanted. Because we were there just before 3:00 on a Monday, it wasn't very busy. There are plenty of tables for seating and enjoying your food. They're spaced nicely apart and all kept clean. The food court area is separate from the grocery store and has its own entrance (far right doors as you face the front of the store). To get to the grocery side you'll have to leave the food court and walk over to the other entrance. Craving some delicious Korean wings, dduk-bboki, or even bingsoo? KCafe will really hit the spot and it's so affordable!

They excel at homemade salads and Italian specialties. The arancini (Sicilian rice balls) are a male and you can't beat the price at two for six dollars. They are loaded with meat, rice, cheese, and a few peas that really pop. They have great pizzas, gelato, cappuccino, and espresso. They do breakfast sandwiches and catering. The staff have been treating me like family for decades. The seating is nice and it's surprisingly large for how it appears on the outside. They also feature some outdoor seating. I love the food and the people.

The menu is pretty straightforward and service was pretty utilitarian as well. However, food did come out quickly. Unfortunately, the French toast came out at room temperature at best, and the syrup that was brought to the table before hand had already had a solidified top part. So it wasn't warm at all it in fact was cold. They're also very quick to clean tables and remove things from the table. In fact, my friend was still picking at her salad and they literally came by four times to try to take it away. I think this place is family owned small business type set up so it was great to see it busy and filled. I said service was utilitarian because I think we saw our waitress maybe twice all other things were done by the bus boys for refilling waters and coffees, etc.
