We happened to walk to this place because we heard the music. We walked up (post- COVID, but limited), tables outside available. We sat down, we immediately were provided water by the server back, Stevenson M. Throughout this adventure for drinks and food in separate areas, Stevenson kept checking on us and ensuring we were doing good. He was friendly, chipper but not too invasive. Would come back just for guest experience with him. Cant wait to return.

Chicago has its fair share of food halls, and Politan Row is definitely up there as one of my favorites. The space has a chic and industrial vibe to it, the food and drink options are unique, and the perks of having servers and deals really set them apart. I've only gone for their first Friday deal and during weekends for 50% off at Passion House (via Apple Pay).

Delicious food, friendly chefs and a great atmosphere...a recipe for a good time in my book. Can't wait to go back for seconds and thirds! ??

Upscale food court style dining. There is a range of different ethnic stalls to choose from. Indian Japanese Mexican carribean and much more. Everyone can eat what the feel like having while sitting at the same table. What a cool concept!

Jspice food was so delicious and flavorful! I had the rice bowl and it was amazing and filling. I had leftovers to take for my lunch. The atmosphere is inviting and classy. I’m planning to return often, when the weather outside is much warmer.

Really cool upscale international street food concept. It gets really busy on weekend nights but perfect on a Sunday afternoon to hang, work, have a drink and meet up with friends. Glad to see this concept in Chicago after going to one in California. Service is super friendly! Lots of really good international cuisines to choose from. Kudos to James Beard foundation for recognizing Thattu as outstanding new restaurant. Seriously the best food I've had in years. The beef curry is divine...flavors are subtle and complex. Indian food sometimes is really heavy and overwhelming. Nope not here! Even the ghee rice has subtle flavors to it. Moist and not too heavy with ghee. Fried chicken and yogurt is the stuff of my culinary dreams ? South Indian food is spicy so try another vendor if you are sensitive to spicy heat. I'll be back! I love this place!!!

Offers a nice variety of foods. Not noisy like Time Chicago and much cozier.

Great food court with lots of food options from all around the world. The interior is modern, minimal and cozy and the service is great. Good for a meal, drink and a good conversation. The crowd is young and trendy.

Went to Mom's and the bar here in politan row. It's got something for everyone, and new tastes to try without a massive price tag. Family friendly, clean, and super spacious.

The food hall is nice and clean. There are around 10 different restaurant stalls inside plus the bar in the middle of the place. The set up of this food court is convenient and neat, they also provide free drinking water not like Timeout Market where you have to purchase, an extra star just for this. The service is good, and they have staff filling up water for you during your meal. The food quality is just a little bit better than food court food, can't expect too much, however, the selection of the restaurants here are quite unique, you will be able to find flavors around the world. At last, if the management is reading this, some of the staff hygiene can be elevated.
Really diverse and varied food hall. A bit on the pricey end for what it is but I think that’s expected.

Cool venue with nice ambiance and music. Great drinks and good food but I wouldn’t say there’s exactly something for everyone. Probably more fun in the summer

Really good place to visit to grab a quick bite or a good meal. Lots of variety to choose from and the place is very clean. Good for big groups as well.

Love this place. Unlike most food courts it is based on successful chefs. Plot an features owner chefs who havent broken into the big time. Had Indonesian and will go back for at least 3 places. Dont be confused, I like the time out market, but it's a different place

Spacious, great ambience, good variety on the kinds of food. Mee Goreng’s fried fish was perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perception! Perfect for a date. Some spots weren’t open though.
