Jannat Restaurant is truly a hidden gem when it comes to Eurasian cuisine -- bringing together rich flavors from Central Asia, Turkey, and Europe all under one roof. It's halal, super clean, and the staff? Genuinely some of the kindest and warmest people you'll meet. You can tell they really care about their space and their food -- gloves, masks, and great hospitality all around. The vibe inside is lowkey but elegant, great for a quiet night out or a new food experience with friends or family. The menu reflects a wide variety of authentic dishes -- some comforting, others bold and new depending on your palate. Pelmeni (dumplings): Very strong in flavor, not what I'm typically used to. The texture might take some getting used to -- I wasn't the biggest fan, but my friend loved it. Plov: So flavorful and hearty -- slightly on the greasy side but still really satisfying. Manty: If you're into juicy, steamed dumplings, this is the move. The spices are deep and warming. Honey Cake: Hands down one of my favorites. Soft, lightly sweet, and melts in your mouth -- definitely a must-try. If you're into exploring lesser-known cuisines or just want a meal that feels like a journey across cultures, Jannat is a beautiful stop. It's an experience more than just a dinner, and you can feel the passion behind the dishes. read more

Jannat Restaurant - Honey Cake, it is very soft and fresh - Uzbek Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

The owners did an awesome job renovating the place. As you entered, tables are set placemats, plates, silverware, and cloth napkin. This place is a full service dining restaurant. Overall service was wonderful and the staff was very helpful with the menu and recommending apps, dishes, and drinks for first timers. Their menu offers food Europe, Central Asia, Turkey. You're offered complimentary Pita Bread as a starter. We ordered the Pelmeni, Chicken Kabob, Plov, Fruit Tea, Zavarnye, and Honey Cake. Everything was yummy! Portions are decent so definitely explore, order a few items and do it Family Style. They also offer lunch specials for $20. We will be back to other menu items! read more

Nice trio of super interesting staff from central Asia. I had fun learning about who they were and the new culture they are about, similar to Mongolian but not... The decor is pretty and Mediterranean Greece vibes for me... and the menu is refreshingly different! There are some things that seem familiar but others that I have never heard about, and that IS unusual. I eat out a lot! :-) It's definitely a nice adventure in this area where there are a million KBBQs and Korean chicken franchises. read more

Nice EurAsian restaurant in Rolling Meadows catering to a population that is underserved in the area. They are on a corner with plenty of parking. The restaurant is really nice and clean, along with delicious food. This is a new restaurant in Rolling Meadows and has a great selection of kabobs, doner, Asian, and soups! We tried quite a bit as first timers and were very pleased. We tried yogurt with beetroot and I absolutely loved it! It was served with bread that wasn't a pita, but worked well with it. We also had the Kazak Beef Soup and the portion is enormous. I suggest sharing the soups or having that as a full meal. The bowls are really for sharing, even though they say it's for one person. The noodles in the soup were thin and flat, also made in-house, not from a box. You can absolutely taste it's being homemade. The other entrée was Gan Fan, a beef with rice and Asian taste to it. It was a beautiful dish and plenty for sharing. Finally we finished off with a honey cake and it wasn't as sweet as expected. Accompanied by mint tea, our dessert was a delicious way to finish off. Overall, everyone was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the prices were extremely reasonable. We really enjoyed it and are looking forward to coming back and trying new dishes! read more

Wonderful Turkish & Central Asian cuisine. Very authentic menu variety. Complimentary pita comes out once seated. Today we had beef plov, pelmeni soup that has beef dumplings, chicken kabobs, choban similar to a Greek salad, fruit tea, honey cake, and a cream puff. Friendly kind staff. Just a very unique food experience overall. Casual dining with about 13 tables in the restaurant. Steady busy but no wait on a Fri night. Will be back! Happy to have a place like this nearby. Avg entree costs $17-20. Check for all this was $74 after tax. read more

I know this is a somewhat new restaurant. It's located in an old Taco Bell building so they have their own parking lot. First things first, I'll have to deduct some stars. The service overall was mid. That definitely needs to be improved. After we got seated and looked over the menu, it took a bit of time before the server came to us. No problem. She pretty much disappeared and it was the guy that was mostly tending to us. It wasn't busy so I know they weren't swamped. The service needs to be more attentive like asking if you need any boxes, are you interested in some desserts, and taking our plates away before dessert. Unfortunately, I give this place an overall 2.5/5. It's like a one and done for me unless the service and food quality is immensely improved. -complimentary bread 5/5 - shaped like two slices of pizza. Bread was soft and tasted great with the butter. -Turkish tea 5/5 - 0.99 and free refills. It's good hot tea for dinner. -haydari 3 - nice, creamy texture for the yogurt sauce with herbs, goes well with the bread. However, they gave us 4 small pieces of bread for a big plate of sauce. They should have given a better ratio of bread to sauce. They didn't give us a spoon or anything with it. -pelmeni soup 5/5 - i really like soup. Very savory although he gave us a sauce without explaining what to do with it with the soup. Broth was very flavorful. Ground beef inside the dumplings were cooked to perfection. -lamb kuurdak 2 - lamb could have been softer and more juicy. It was a little dry. Potatoes were soft and tasty. -boso lagman 3 - noodles had a good chewy texture. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of beef in the dish. There is more meat in the picture than what you get. -manty 5/5 - best main dish. Generous portion size. Big pieces of bed inside. Not too salty. -honey cake 5/5 - wasn't too sweet. Raw honey was more subtle. Soft texture and great after taste. read more

The food was delicious and the service was great! We tried the samsa, chuchvara, boso lagman, and the zavarnye. Everything tasted so yummy! We tried to order the boorsok, but they were out of it. So, I will be back for sure to try that and some other dishes! read more

I was fortunate to be able to visit Jannat Restaurant on the second day of opening. It's run by the owners of Arzan Cafe in Chicago. Jannat offers both Uzbek and Turkish cuisine. When you first arrive here, it may look strange from the outside, but don't judge a book by its cover. This location used to be a Taco Bell, so the building has that look to it and the drive-thru lane is still there. The inside is nicely done, though. Nice white tables and chairs, nice ceiling work, and plenty of natural light. There was no music playing, but since it's a big open space, I wonder if it would get loud in there during very busy times. Service was friendly, and I love the fact that the menu included photos of the dishes for those not familiar with the cuisine. We ordered a tandor samsa, boso lagman, and chuchvara. The tandor samsa was kind of a flop. The bread was hard and dry (I think it got overcooked), so part of it was unedible. The meat inside was decent, though. The boso lagman was a noodle dish with beef and vegetables. At first it looked like spaghetti, but the noodles were top-notch. Great texture and the right amount of chewiness. Good flavor in this dish, although some of the meat pieces were a bit tough. The chuchvara was the star of the show today. This is a soup dish with mini dumplings. The dumplings were soft and meaty, and the broth was super flavorful. The veggies were cooked to perfection; soft but not mushy. And there was extra meat within the soup broth. Very hearty dish and perfect for a cold day. Pricing was fair. Please note they serve water in bottles and charge for those. Can't wait to come back and try some other dishes to further compare Jannat with Chinar and Anjir. read more

Nice people, clean. My concern is that I order Chuchvara and a Turkish Donor wrap for take out. Once I got checked into the hotel this Chuchvara looked nothing like the "soup" I had ordered and so looking forward to. I am all checked into my hotel and no plans to travel back to the restaurant to get my order corrected. But I will add the meal was tasty. read more

Jannat Restaurant - Ordered Chuchvara??? - Uzbek Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

The food is absolutely delicious. We ordered lot of food done pictures are missing here. It looks fresh and clean. They have a lot of variety to select from. The service is excellent. The hostesses there are very friendly and prompt with the service. The place very well lit and bright. It's clean and nice. The capacity is small. Best to make a reservation, we did. It's very busy. It's definitely thumbs up and going back again soon. All the best Jannat crew and keep it up !! read more

Just had a delicious dinner at Jannat! We were so excited to go since we had tried their free samples after the 4th of July parade. We had the haydari to start, and my sister and I split two mains: boso lagman and shawarma wrap chicken. Both were incredibly flavorful and the portions were very generous. We ate the wrap first and only had a little of the boso lagman because we were so full! I definitely need to go back to try their dessert. The service and environment are so warm and welcoming, thank you so much! read more

This is a new place and very nice interior. This is our first time having this food and the only thing we didn't like to lamb dish i believe it's lamb kuru something but the rest of the food was really tasty and the lamb dish was probably a taste issue on our side will definitely go back there again read more

Outstanding dinning experience! The food & service was top tier. Beautiful Flavor in ever dish. And the best part is that the price is Extremely reasonable for what you get. We loved the blend of cultures and diverse dining experience, the workers are so kind and inviting. We will definitely be coming back!! read more

Really really good food amazing service . Super nice people great presentation . Food was 10 out of 10

I ordered to go from this place. Their Kazakh soup and bread was amazing but their entrees were just okay. I ordered Ramadan Iftaar set, came with Caesar Salad, Chicken Kebob and soup, additionally I ordered plov , bread and baklava. Chicken kebob were made from chicken thighs while the menu stated it chicken breast. Their plov while tasting fairly decent was drenched with oil. Service was sort of strange and awkward as there were many servers walking around doing nothing but they were friendly. Ambience was really nice and place was decorated quite festive . Not sure if I would go there again. read more

This was my second visit to Jannat Restaurant. The first time, my friend and I ordered two different menu items. Each was superbly cooked. I was extremely pleased, so much that I decided to bring my granddaughter, who has eaten the same type of food in Morocco. Such a disappointment! The food was good enough, but...My granddaughter's order was brought out quickly--mine followed about 20 minutes later, although I had asked about it several times. You go to a restaurant to share, not to watch someone else eat! When I finally got my order, it was not as described. I specifically ordered the assorted grill because I wanted grilled vegetables, not french fries, along with the meats. No veggies. They said the menu was wrong. Then they should have corrected it. I will not be going back. Try the food because it tastes good, but don't expect good service or to get what you expect. read more

Very nice ambiance with great food! I have never tried most of the dishes, so we ordered Boso Lagman, a delicious beef and noodle stir fry dish. We also ordered the chicken kabob. Both were delicious. And having two generous servings of an entree, a big pot of tea, and two desserts for the price of just an entree at a lesser chain was a bonus. read more

Every order so far has been wonderful. Too many choices. The beet borscht is so good. My favorite. The Turkish tea and clove tea is excellent. My husband's favorite is the chicken kabobs. Too much food for one meal. The dumplings (Manty)are a must. Love the service. Staff is so friendly. Very brightly lit. We have been three times and cannot wait to return. The carry out has made it home and travels well. read more

Food was very good. Service was slow and awkward. Waited awhile, bread was served then after awhile the waiter came to take food order without asking if anybody wanted something to drink as we didn't even have any water. They don't serve ice with water or soft drinks, you would have to ask. The lighting as very bad unless you are there for surgery, as in they are daylight white. I prefer a warm light for a restaurant. Prices are ok but portions are smaller. read more

Great place to try Central Asian cuisine. Influences from Europe, Middle East and Asia. Extensive menu options including a kids menu. There's something for everyone. Very flavorful. Healthy portions.

I was not thrilled with the food. Really wanted to like it. First at opening they were out of kebabs. Their online to go order let me order the lamb but I got the lamb chops instead of kebabs. I did not like them. The Boso Lagman was good but basically a stir fry with noodles. May go back and try the soups as they look good but so did the food I ordered. read more

Great food but I can't keep coming back much more if they take 45 min to have my order ready for pickup.

Save your money and go somewhere else. small portions, flavorless food, and high prices.

We arrived in the middle of the afternoon as a family and expected it to be quiet, but more and more people came to enjoy the spread they offer. It's great to see more and more authentic foods coming from anywhere. Try their drinks too and leave room for dessert. Great service, great food and a treasure for the area. You can count me in on the regulars from now on. read more

An adventure gone well. "I didn't suggest this place, I thought you did" our fellow diners said to us on the way to Jannat. Our friends are particular about their food so I thought here we go, this should be interesting. We were very pleasantly surprised and I think our friends have decided they'll join us on future adventures more often. Jannat is clean, bright and super inviting. We felt immediately welcomed and attended to. The server was very patient with our questions and explained their regional specialties. My wife went with the Lamb Kuurdak, a lamb stew served with roasted potatoes on a sizzling skillet. I chose the Lamb chops. I am not familiar with middle Asian cuisine and don't have a comparison but have to say what we sampled was simple, rustic but hearty fare that was delicious. Our friends ordered Chicken kabobs and a Tandoor Samsa which to me seemed like a cross between a meat pie and a calzone. Our friends also enjoyed their meals, especially the Samsa. In fact, the whole restaurant seemed to be ordering these so this is something we will need to come back for. And we most certainly will. We were given a free dessert as things had gotten backed up a bit. I wish I had asked what it was called because it was simply amazing. We will return for that dessert which was a phyllo wrapped slice of cheese cooked in honey syrup and pistachios. Addictive. read more

The restaurant is small but cozy and nicely decorated. Staff are very friendly and attentive. And food is absolutely delicious!

If I could give this review a zero I would .. I never even post reviews but I was extremely turned off when my husband and I tried to get some food after work and stopped by for pick up .. once I got home I saw 6 .. EXACTLY only 6 fries on my chicken wing order - rice and bunch of onions and carrot strips . When I called I was told it's for decorative purposes.. weird - then my husband didn't even touch his food for the soup had weird flavor and the frikasse looked NOTHING like the picture online - I feel most of the menu is deceiving. Also if you order online make sure you see all your fees are correct as I really originally wanted to order a shawarma that's was priced at $12 rounded up and once in my cart it was $24 - I thought it was a glitch and tried to removes and add back on but prices are manipulated for it also automatically charges you TIP . You have to customize to take off the fee . On my receipt I noticed there was .50 cents online fee and another .75 cent online fee .. same fee just twice in different amounts . Found it odd .. if you are Hispanic do not come here - flavorless food . read more
