    Wings.
    Halder T.

    Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but I ordered the wings... let me tell you... the chickens they used must have been dieting for hot girl summer or something because I tasted the definition of "skin and bone"! There was maybe a sliver of actual meat on the bone (and that's being generous) I just ate one and couldn't stomach the Btw, it's 2:19AM as I write this, so you know I'm losing sleep over this. They should rename the menu item anorexic chicken.

    The owners are super friendly and welcoming. We tried the birria tacos, pazole, and elotes. The tacos were out of this world! Meat was so tender, juicy, and so flavorful! Definitely a guilty pleasure. Pazole (not pictured) was also very good. It was warm and tangy. It had boiled corn and shredded chicken in it which added a nice bite to the soup. Hefty portion for an appetizer. Definitely recommend it. Elotes were buttery and cheesy. The corn was sweet. It was good but my least favorite dish out of the 3.

    I'm a SUCKER for Mexican food and when the opportunity for Halal Mexican was there, hubs and I were ready to grab it. My brother recommended this place 15 mins away from O'Hare airport. It was so good. Great portion and tasted fresh! The ladies there were really nice. I was expecting it to look like a dingy place inside but it was actually pretty nice. Great place to take the family.

    The food here was delicious! best part is that they serve zabiha Halal Mexican food. 4 stars because it took us an hour to get our food, since there were only 2 people cooking. Definitely understaffed.

    I've wanted to try this place for a while now and I'm so glad I did! The Lombard area has a ton of halal food options but this is definitely one of the best. The food is authentic Mexican and the owner Paul is very enthusiastic and takes pride in his food. The Nachos Locos is a huge appetizer filled with ground beef, nacho cheese, guacamole, sour cream, beans, tomatoes, and more! The Chicken Enchilada was seasoned very well with all the components melted into perfection. I also sampled a variety of Tacos, my favorite of which was the skirt steak. The other meat options included pastor (beef), chorizo (beef), and chicken. I loved all of them but would have liked some more seasoning on the chicken. Finally, you must try the Mexican Flan, it was out of this world! I'll definitely be going back soon.

We ordered the Chunchvara Dumplings along with two pieces each of their chocolate cake and honey cake--and every single item was absolutely delicious. The dumplings were flavorful and perfectly prepared, while the desserts were rich, fresh, and incredibly satisfying without being overwhelming. What really stood out was the tremendous customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the pickup process smooth and pleasant. Even during a quick visit, their hospitality made a lasting impression. The ambiance of the restaurant also deserves recognition--it's beautifully lit and has a calm, peaceful atmosphere that makes you want to come back and dine in next time. Overall, a fantastic experience. We'll definitely be returning and highly recommend Anjir Halal Restaurant to everyone looking for great food and excellent service!

You order up front, grab a seat, and pick up your order when ready. Slyce is primarily known for their variety of pizza slices + their amazing gyro bowls. We couldn't decide so ended up trying both! The combo chicken + gyro bowl over rice was HEAVENLY! Both meats were cooked to perfection, the rice and salad added the perfect balance to the meatiness, and the white and red sauce on top was just what was needed to complete this dish! I feel in LOVE with the flavor profile and I'm already dreaming of going back and trying it again! In terms of pizza slices, they have so many options so we went with their classic 53rd slice which comes with gyro meat and the chipotle tostada slice which came with chicken. The 53rd was smoky and salty and the chipotle tostada had a hint of sweetness to it. Both slices were absolutely amazing! They were crispy on the bottom, the crust was perfect, and the sauce and cheese and toppings combo was delicious. Cannot wait to go back and try more of their slices! This is a great spot for a quick lunch or a grab and go for take out! Would highly recommend!!

The order area is nice and the electric menu boards are easy to read. We ordered the 10 piece bone-in chicken wings, in buffalo sauce. We were hoping that they had blue cheese as a dipping sauce but they don't. So we picked the ranch dipping sauce and it was just OK. When I first saw the chicken wings I thought they were gonna be crispy, but they're actually not. They are very moist and cooked to perfection. We ordered cheese sticks and they were eight in the order and they were delicious. Nice and crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. We also ordered two of the bubble tea. I got the Taro milk tea and my husband got the banana milk tea. They both had the tapioca in them and were so delicious! Best I have had! Really cold and yummy! If you're in the area, you should definitely give this restaurant a try. Next time we are going to try the Zinger Burger!

Seemed like a piece of plastic or gristle or something inedible. The fries were completely soggy. Just horrible. Threw both food items in the garbage. While waiting for my pickup order, I noticed many tables were covered with a plastic coating that had cracked or peeled partially off. I hope they take better care of their food preparation than the tables. And this has not changed since I first started coming to the restaurant about 2 months ago. Finally, as I was leaving the restaurant, The bar across the door had some very sticky junk on it that I had to scrub off when I got home. Never going back to this lousy restaurant!!!

It's tiny inside and feels well worn (in a good way), but there are a few tables outside. We went at an off time (or so we thought), but eventually all four tables and all bar seating were taken up. 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.
