I normally don’t spend so much on myself at restaurants I’ve never been to but the smell convinced me I was in a good place. I had the Steamed Vareniki and the Shashlik Lamb. What really won me over was the server for our table. Alex is wonderful. He was a great communicator, recommended some delish dishes, and we had a great time because of him. Ask for Alex if you go to the Glenview location!!

A little disappointed. Came in at 1115 for lunch and was told they were still in the breakfast phase???? Wanted lunch but had to have breakfast. Lunch started at 1145. Food was still good

Fine dining is absolutely trash. It just gives an excuse to increase prices. They are charging the atmosphere to a less casual experience. We liked the hidden aspect of it and affordable. We wanted a mixed culture experience not just one thing. They removed all Russian dishes from the menu witch absolutely pissed me off because that's the only reason to even come there 😑

So good!!!! We got borscht, shorpo lamb, guro lagman (a handpulled noodle dish with lamb), boorsok (little pillows of fried dough), and plov, and everything was amazing. Very cute and comfortable interior, most tables have a booth side, friendly and quick service from our server Sabina. Reasonable prices for very large portion sizes. The guro lagman was a total standout. We will be back here the next time we’re in Chicago!

The name of the business changed and probably the ownership changed. The quality of the items sold is good, but the prices are extremely high.

Simply one of the best culinary experiences Chicago has to offer. Stop hunting for expensive restaurants that will scam you by serving small Americanized plates and try a local gem like this one!

All of the dishes are exquisitely spiced and prepared. The chicken tabaka was cooked perfectly. I’ve had the manty on a separate occasion and they’re probably the tastiest dumplings I’ve ever had. The roasted potatoes have a delicious flavor of butter. The single most impressive thing for me is probably the plov. Even the tea was great. There is no skimping on good quality ingredients here. Special thanks to Sabina for the hospitality and great service!

Best food on the north side! If you’re looking for a new cuisine to try, without taking a risk, try this out. Even the table bread is worth coming for.

It was my friend and I's first time at Jibek Jolu, and the food was phenomenal. We ordered the Manty, Plov Lamb, Boso Lagman, and a slice of the honey cake. Everything was delicious and well-prepared, and the service was great! Will definitely come back to eat again

Amazing menu with a great range of options, and excellent quality food. Highly recommend! My dining partner's favorite was the samsa. We also liked the plov and the pumpkin dumplings. Can't recommend this place highly enough! :)
