This cafe is so good! I’ve been waiting to try a halal deli cafe! The chicken pesto panini was so delicious 🤤 along with the signature sub! We tried three different sandwiches, all were flavorful! The mango refresher was one of my favorites. It’s almost like a mango sparkling drink—-really went well with the food! Definitely my new fav sandwich spot in town!
Went in to check out their zabiha halal breakfast and asked Fred at the front desk for recommendations. I got the croissant with egg, cheese, and beef bacon and it did not disappoint. The croissant was buttery and flaky, the egg perfectly cooked, and the beef bacon added a savory kick that tied everything together. Everything felt fresh and energizing. Finally, a great halal breakfast option in Lincoln Park for DePaul students comforting, satisfying, and close to campus. Definitely my new go-to breakfast spot near school. 🥐

Everything is five stars!!!! When we went to visit serai they gave us our order for free due to some unfortunate events, the atmosphere is very nice and it’s a nice change of pace to have a deli and breakfast with halal certified meats!!!! We love to see it! Thanks for the wonderful service hope to come again in the future! 😁

Decided to have a team dinner here after an event and we were all blown away by the quality and flavor of Serai cafe & Deli. Not only was the entire staff kind and hospitable they were incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu and were able to quickly answer any questions/ offer advice to fit our needs. The space was cute and cozy - perfect for us to recap after a busy event day and recharge our social Battery.
As a team we could tell that the menu and ingredients were very intentional! It was so great to hear how all buns/ breads are locally sourced from a bakery. Produce was intentionally selected, and Meats were halal. Cant wait to revisit!
Serai surprised me with how amazing their food was! My husband got the deli sub and I got the toasted cheese and chicken sandwich and we both were absolutely floored with how delicious they were. The proportions of everything were perfect, the seasonings were exquisite, and the bread was baked just for this restaurant. So good!
Fantastic burger!!! and the mango refresher is delicious!

This place is hands down the best cafe in town! The Serai burger with their homemade sauce and Serai signature sub is incredibly tasty. The restaurant has such a clean and serene vibe with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Don't miss their lavender mint mocktail and mango refresher- it's to die for!

Will definitely be back to try more! Loved the pastrami and signature sub. They also serve coffee/espresso based drinks and use beans from a local roaster
