    Kebabs
    Tokhirdzhon A.

    As soon as I entered the restaurant, I immediately felt the Uzbek flavor and hospitality. I ordered two samsa and two types of barbecue. Samsa was brought instantly, it was very tasty, but it seemed that it was a little small. (probably it seemed so to me because I eat a lot) Kebabs were cooked for about 15 minutes. It was also very tasty. Perhaps there is still something to work on, but today I was satisfied. And I am very glad that it is halal here. I wish you guys good luck.

    We were visiting Long Grove and happened to find this halal joint in nearby Buffalo Grove thanks to Yelp. It's nothing fancy inside. Feels like a cafe. There was some weird rap music playing. You order up front and they bring the food to your table. Interestingly, the plates they use are really nice. Unfortunately the first two items I tried to order were unavailable (tuy kebab and ragu with chicken), which immediately brought back bad memories of Makon. We ended up ordering lagman soup and plav. The food came out really quickly, so I guess their menu is whatever they're cooking that day. The lagman soup was very good but short on meat. Good flavor, though. The plav was also excellent, but had very few raisins. The veggies in both dishes were nice and tender. Pretty satisfied overall.

    I'm from a Uzbekistan and was visiting from Cleveland. In cleveland we do not have authentic Uzbek food unless we make it at home. It was an absolute treat to find this gem! Everything was authentic and delicious. As alway, when I find myself at a Uzbek establishment, I order almost everything off the menu! I had, Samsa, Shurpa, Manti, Plov and Kebobs.... I can barely breathe while writing this... but I'm going to do it again! Love this place

Tucked unassumingly in a shopping mall in Mundelein, Ararat is a tiny hidden gem. With only about an 8 table dining room, it is a cozy, intimate venue, with a huge and amazing menu, featuring Armenian cuisine. A party of 4, we ordered drinks, 3 appetizers, and an entree for each of us. The portions were generous, delicious, and we probably over-ordered by at least one appetizer, but we wanted to sample and share as many dishes as possible. We began with glasses of tasty Armenian apricot wine. Our appetizers came out in sequence rather than all at once, starting with Italian Lady's Fingers. A mixed salad of cooked bell peppers, nuts, onion and prunes. Very good. Next we were served Khorovats, Armenian style grilled eggplant . Also an excellent dish. Last was beef and lamb dumplings, Khinkili. One of these large, juicy dumplings could have been almost half a meal by itself. I've tried khinkili in a number of restaurants, and these were the best I've eaten. Our entrees were Steak Kebab, Lamb Kebab, Lamb Rice Pilaf, and Frikasse, a chicken, mushroom, vegetable in sour cream sauce dish. All were very good, and were were saddened that we were all too full to try any of their baked goods desserts. The meal was excellent, the small dining room comfy and the service very good. One word of caution: If you plan to dine here you must be patient. Dishes were served as they were prepared, and apparantly little if anything is prepared in advance. The advantage is hot, fresh, and tasty dishes. The disadvantage is that there was a 10 minute delay between service of the 1st and 4th entree. We were in no hurry, so we did not mind. Also we were sharing our selection. For a casual, relaxed, delicious dining adventure I highly recommend Ararat.

Shout out to our guide during our trip- he made sure we tried lots of cuisine that was all the way Kyrgyz food! The crispy eggplant is a must and is my favorite ! The eggplant is light and the sauce that is drenched on top is perfect to balance the fried crispy exterior. Next I ordered Samsa, Plov, and lamb kurdock. My husband ordered the beef rib and mash potatoes. Not the most Kyrgyz but he did try everything and loved it all! If you want a taste of central Asian cuisine please come to Jibek Jolu! Don't forget the honey cake!

He wasn't very helpful unfortunately other than naming some appetizers that we tried, though these came after some of our entrees came out. It was also very difficult to get water and refills on water but other than that we loved our experience. We over ordered because again, we were not aware of how big the portions would be and our waiter wasn't very informative: Carrot salad- even as a side this was a big portion to share with delicious light Asian flavors Jibek jolu salad- another great shareable with a tasty dressing and cuts of tender beef Khachapuri- one of the recommended apps, also a big portion to share though we didn't know what to do with the raw egg that came on the side. After flagging someone down to help us, we discovered that this was a delicious cheesy bread with egg mixed in. Crispy eggplant- another recommended app which was delicious and sweet Lamb kurdock- I didn't love this dish it was kind of dry and lacking in flavor but huge with lots of potatoes and veggies Combo skewers- so much meat that was all very tender and flavorful, though it came on one thin soggy tortilla. It would have been nice to have more tortillas on the side to make a wrap. I also tried the chicken tabaka, and this was delicious with a curry flavor. Overall, most dishes were so delicious, but it was a bit of a learning curve on how to order and what to expect.
