This restaurant is a golden treasure in tasty paradise. I’ve been here twice on a Friday evening with my son (who said that Aban’s Kitchen is his favorite restaurant in Southern Illinois). The Chicken Molgulgul is my very favorite dish to order. The food is delicious and seasoned just right. Not too spicy, woo hoo! Any diner MUST try the clay oven baked Naan bread, it is to die for. Their staff treat all the diners with respect and kindness.

This is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in southern Illinois! The food is always delicious and the portions are very generous. I’m hoping for a buyer to step in to continue the restaurant’s legacy, but if not, Aban’s Kitchen will be greatly missed. Make sure to stop in and try some amazing food before the end of the year!

The food at Aban is amazing! Every dish we've had had been great. The combination plate offers a good variety if unfamiliar with middle eastern food. Staff is very welcoming

The food was so good I forgot anything else in the world existed and every problem I have ever had. 10/10, no notes, perfect.

Food is great and the service is good. If you're interested in having middle eastern types of food then I would definitely recommend trying this place out. Parking is across the street and I would recommend going on a Sunday or holiday when you don't have to pay to park as we did. Business hours are for dinner only at the time of this review and are relatively short so plan accordingly. The also seem to do takeout and catering if you're so inclined.

This place is amazing!! The best Chai I’ve ever had; and the lamb is SO GOOD and the clay oven bread is a must! The staff is also very friendly and kind!

Also, make sure you sit in the side room where you can sit on the floor with cushions, the only way to experience this place!
