    Raw chicken
    Christian S.

    We thought we would try this restaurant as it had some good reviews. I ordered butter chicken and when we opened it up at home the chicken was raw also asked for mild and it was "hell hot". I took the food back and they offered to remake it. Got it home and the food was literally swimming in grease- the texture also looked very weird - not like anything I have seen before, also spicier than before. Took food back again and asked for full refund. Not recommended.

    Hands down to the best BIRYANI here in USA. Had Goat biryani with Goat haleem,Chicken 65 and they tasted ammmmazing. Highly recommend this place when you're in Chicago. Friendly staff,It's bit difficult to find a table as the dine inn is small and always crowded, be prepared to expect some wait time. Added some of my snaps from this place.

    Bhindi Masala
    Steve A.

    Came to yet another Indian restaurant on Devon Avenue. It seems like this is one of the newer ones. Tawakkul is a pretty small place. Has two sections that are the dining room, and to order at the counter. Looks like the menu is a combination of Chinese and Indian. After looking at the menu, we decided on one of the few vegetarian choices. It only has a few to choose from. The rest of the menu is meaty like chicken, goat, and seafood. Ended up getting the Bhindi Masala. It's about $9 for quite a lot of this. This includes rice with an entree, which is something that's becoming rarer unfortunately. Good spice to it. This also came with sambar, which added some even more spiciness. Good as far as being authentic. It has a few Chinese items such as noodles along with the Indian food. There's not a whole lot but there's a few items for vegetarians.

    Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen - Shrimp Broccoli, Beef Tofu (hot), Egg Fried Rice

    Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen is the underground emperor of late-night Chinese food in Chicago, the spot…read moreyour Uber driver, your bartender, and every chef in the city whispers about when they're truly hungry. Tucked into a no-frills corner on the South Side, Dai Yee's looks modest from the outside, but step in after 10 p.m. and it's pure magic. The room is packed with everybody--sneakerheads, nurses coming off shift, club kids, cops, and couples on first dates who somehow heard the legend. The vibe is chaotic in the best way: woks roaring, orders flying, and that unmistakable perfume of sizzling garlic, ginger, and chili filling the air. The food is straight-up stupid good. The Hong Kong-style salt & pepper smelts are crackly, spicy, and gone in 30 seconds. The beef chow fun has that elusive wok hei (breath of the wok) that most places only dream of, wide rice noodles slick with smoky char and tender flank steak. The black pepper beef tenderloin is velvet-soft, glossy, and aggressively peppery in a way that makes you order extra rice just to survive the happiness. The Singapore noodles are bright curry perfection, and the Mongolian beef is saucy, crispy-edged, and borderline addictive. Portions are straight out of the 90s--massive trays that could feed a family of four for under $15. Cash-only, BYOB, and everything comes out blazing hot in under ten minutes even when the place is slammed. The ladies running the show are legends: fast, funny, and they'll roast you (lovingly) if you can't handle the spice level you asked for. If you leave Chicago without hitting Dai Yee's at least once (preferably at 1 a.m. with a six-pack), you didn't really experience the city. This is real-deal, no-filter, soul-satisfying Chinese food that reminds you why we fall in love with restaurants in the first place. Dai Yee's isn't just a restaurant; it's a Chicago institution in the making. I'd wait in line in a blizzard for those smelts. See you at midnight.

We had starters - fried calamari and a spring roll sort of thing. We also had eggplant, another stir fry and walnut shrimp. All of it was fresh and delicious. My one recommendation would be to pay close attention to the menu. I didn't realize that the shrimp in the walnut shrimp was battered and fried - would have picked something else if I had. To be clear- it was delicious! It's just that I had already had two fried appetizers so would preferred something lighter. The eggplant dish was my favorite! And the special cocktails were also delightful. The restaurant is very busy and a little noisy at times, but it didn't detract from our experience.

It's crazy it's completely died down by the time we were finished with our meal. The service was great, the interior decor was beautiful and the staff was friendly. The dim sum offered for brunch was good as well but pricey. Especially since some dishes were only offered with two pieces. If you have a party of three then you're kind of forced into buying two of the same dishes. Which is strange. Traditionally most dim sum dishes have three pieces. Rarely see 2 pieces being offered especially for double the price. We ordered their Jiaozi, Char Sui Bao, crab Rangoon, chilly chilli noodles, and their Xiang long Bao. All were great. The chilly chilli noodles is served cold and was very flavorful. The Xiang Kong Bao was amazing. The potstickers was probably my favorite dish and it's mess up char Sui Bao. We were going to order wings but they had ran out I guess by 12pm on a Sunday. I was also going to order fried rice but it wasn't offered for brunch. Overall despite the priciness of the menu, we still enjoyed our food and the service. I obviously knew what I was getting myself into by visiting this place, and can definitely see myself returning in the future.
