“Have been here multiple times and it has been amazing every time, it is 100% my favorite restaurant. The food is amazing, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is stunning. Consistently have great service and amazing servers. Will visit every chance I get while in the city. :)“
“HandleBar exceeded our expectations! Amazing food, exceptional service, and a wide variety of options for vegetarians and vegans. Don't miss the black bean tostadas, fried avocado grilled cheese, and Pie, Pie My Darling Cake. The Lavender Rosemary Latte is a must-try. Overall, HandleBar is the perfect place for those seeking amazing vegetarian and vegan cuisine.“
“We had lunch today at Thattu. It was bustling with almost every table full, but the tables have ample space between them and it wasn’t too loud. The beautiful exposed brick and huge windows cast a warm glow on the modern dining room. They nailed Indian flavors without being heavy or greasy, and the fun fusion dishes we tried, like Indian-spiced tater tots with sulfur salt and beet ketchup are well executed and a lot of fun. It would be easy to eat healthy at Thattu, and I enjoyed the vegetarian combo with vegetable curry, rice, beans, and sauteed Brussels sprouts with coconut. We also tried the fried chicken with dill sauce, and the catfish.Guests order through an app at Thattu, and the cost is inclusive of service. They don’t accept tips. At lunch, you grab your own flatware, napkins, and water from a bar in the dining room. We didn’t mind this.One particularly nice touch was that when we arrived, there were no tables available, and we agreed to sit at the bar. The host said he would let us know if a table became available, since sometimes guests cancel very close to their reservation time. Lucky for us, about 10 minutes after we arrived, the host brought us to a table. It was kind of him to remember our preference and work on that for us. Googling the restaurant later, I realized that the handsome host was co-owner Vinod Kalathil. He’s clearly a wonderful business owner who knows how to make his customers happy.Thattu2601 W Fletcher StreetChicago’s Avondale neighborhood“
“One of the best places in town. The fixed course menu is flexible and the wine pairings were a delight (and presented well by staff). We sat at the counter in full view of the kitchen (the cooks seemed unflappable). As soon as we left, we already started talking about when we might come back. It was my wife’s birthday so they sent us home with cookies and put a candle on dessert. A lot of little nice touches.“
“10 stars?? This place is incredible. The staff are so amazing. The treats are incredible. We missed the cinnamon rolls by about an hour, so we are going to have to go back for those. But everything is gluten free, vegan, and no refined sugars. And you won't miss any of it! The bars are incredible. Each has their own unique flavor and they are totally reasonably priced for what you get. We will definitely be going back. FYI they also ship if you're not local!“
“This may be my new favourite restaurant in Chicagoland — an opinion shared by my family.We enjoyed stellar food. Even by non-vegetarian standards.The Tom Kha soup and spicy eggplant (which also tastes great mild) are fantastic. The curry we tried was also very good. The soy “chicken” has excellent texture and flavour, whether soft or battered.One plate per person is a reasonable serving size.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“New to the neighborhood, I was excited to try this place, and MAN OH MAN. It was so good. Classic comfort with a delicious twist. We got the Tahini Ranch Fried Chicken Sandwich, the Kefta Burger, and the Stuffed Falafel; not a dud in the bunch. The toppings and condiments that some on the burger and sandwich made basic diner food such a delight without feeling over the top. The real stand out was the stuffed falafel. I never thought of having a filling in a falafel, and the sweetness of the caramelized onions was such a delicious complexity to a classic Middle Eastern dish. Now I want to eat through the whole menu to find my favorites.“
“As a vegan myself, this place has the best vegan tacos I've ever had! Service was very quick too without sacrificing quality, in addition feels "light" in a good way without all the heavy grease and salt. It's hard finding vegan restaurants with large vegan menu options, including desserts like cake and brownie dessserts that taste so good like "regular" cake/brownies, so this place has it all! Also love how close this restaurant is walking distance to my home, so I'll definitely be a repeat customer!“
“Excellent overall food, healthy and tasty. Gerard was an outstanding waiter, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient.I have gluten and dairy allergies, True Food Kitchen has so many options.I highly recommend this restaurant.Dietary restrictions: I have gluten and dairy allergies, True Food Kitchen has so many options.“
“Best breakfast ever! Stopped here for a quick breakfast and got a vegan strawberry banana smoothie along with a big pack of empanadas! It was all so delicious, and I will be back when traveling! I couldn't recommend this place enough. My favorite was definitely the margherita empanada. I will say that this place has honey in some of their smoothies, but clearly labels it.“
“Ate there for the first time tonight. I am vegan and my husband is an Omni. Chef Bill came out and waited on us personally, and gave us menu recommendations, all of which were delicious! The ambiance was so relaxing and peaceful; it was a nice respite from a busy day and I didn’t want to leave. Reasonably priced as well: shared appetizer, two teas, two entrees, and two desserts was $60. Will definitely be back for many more dinners!“
“OMG! I have missed good take out since going vegan, and this place blew my mind! They had all the classic Chinese rake out dishes. Everything I got tasted exactly like what I remember prior to being vegan. I got sweet and sour chicken, vegan salt & pepper shrimp, wonton soup, and bean paste dessert rice balls. Everything was heavenly and wish I had stuff like this where I lived. I will definitely be back when I'm in the Chicago area again! Heck, I'd travel just for this food! I love that it's located in Chinatown too, which is a very cool area! The menu labeled what wasn't vegan/had egg & dairy.“
“Super fun vibe - order at the counter. Eclectic taco options - chicken and waffles? Yes please. With rotating special tacos. Red velvet cake on deck for dessert. The tacos are on the larger side and have plenary of “stuff” on the inside. Chips and queso are not essential but a tasty add on - as are the nachos (I ordered with no meat and they were still fabulous). We love coming back to VT when we’re in the area!Vegetarian options: Plenty of delicious veggie friendly options available! The menu is separated by meat/veg so they’re easy to siphon through.“
“You must try the vegan pizza. The worst part of becoming vegan was giving up cheese. I've tried vegan pizza at many places and did not like any of them until trying the vegan pizza at Soul Veg City. They also sale it by the slice. My favorite slices are the veggie, the plain cheese and the jalapeño and olive.“
“TNT was definitely a vibe! My friend was celebrating her birthday and I’m glad she picked the restaurant! The food was great, seasoned well and the drinks were made really good too! I didn’t get a single picture of the tasting sampler just a video but the 3 different meat options gave what it was suppose to give and it was amazing! I will be back!Parking: The street was pretty full close to the restaurant! We did go late at night but we found a parking spot not too far from the restaurant!“
“This afternoon I wanted to try some Vegan food. I've tasted Vegan food before, but that was before my Vegan/Vegetarian journey. Today I got the Jerk Jack Taco dinner for me and my husband and the Vegan mac and cheese and it was so good. I just wish they delivered to Maywood. It looks like I'll be traveling to get my Vegan food.“
“I was amazed by the vegan selections available. The 290 Burger was very well seasoned had a nice spicy kick. The vegan cheese used is very rich and creamy, it was so delicious. I appreciate also the community resources available in her restaurant.Overall, tasty and well seasoned vegan food that I can tell was made with love.Vegetarian options: 100% vegan dinerKid-friendliness: Coloring books and games available for all“
“Caspian Kabab has wonderful food with such a wide variety, there is something for everyone! The owner, Massoud, goes out of his way to ensure that everyone feels is happy and full! The sample platters are a great way to try a lot of different food. His homemade hummus, crabcakes, lamb kabobs, chocolate cake are the best and you have to try his tea! Thanks you, Massoud, for a great night out with the family!!!!! We'll be back!!!!“
“I had the Mac and cheese balls and the tofu buffalo wrap (with fries)- so good! Don't be fooled, the Mac and cheese balls are big! I realized I was getting full as I was finishing my second one, so I stopped to wait for my wrap. The Mac and cheese balls are perfectly fried and an amazing cheesy taste. Plus they're served with a "ranch"sauce that is delightful. The tofu buffalo wrap was one of the best wraps I've had in a while because it's exactly my style- nothing over the top, just simple ingredients flavored and wrapped to perfection. The Bloody Mary was perfect as well! It's tough to find a vegan Bloody Mary, and this one was exactly the way I like- (again) simple and flavorful. You can get it spicy or not. I'll be back!“
“such kind staff and warm atmosphere. amazing food and drinks and such a lovely place to spend time.Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free and vegetarian and have been dairy free and they have so many options that work for all kinds of restrictions.“
“This is a great option when you’re craving Indian food but don’t want to pay for a huge portion. I told the cashier it was my first time and she threw in a few samosas and sauces for me to try - they were crispy, fluffy, and perfect. I also ordered a chicken tikka wrap with rice and onions. It was absolutely delicious. I will be returning soon!“
“There’s “salads” from fast food restaurants and then there’s THIS! Absolutely wonderful!!!! I got the poblano chicken salad and I really enjoyed it! The salads aren’t boring, they have so much texture which really makes eating more greens EASIER! Thank you! I’ll be back ?Service was so sweet as well “
“Went today and loved it. My Philly steak was awesome!! I kinda cheated with the regular cheese but still awesome!! Just to be totally transparent I am not a fan of the Buffalo chicken wings. I will definitely go back to try something else. Ohh the strawberry juice was great also!!“
“This is a one of a kind "fast food" restaurant. I like to think of it as the Chipotle of Indian food. I had the chicken tikka wrap. They have standard Indian curry dishes, both meat and vegetarian curries, and they wrap them up in a pita-like bread. It's like an Indian burrito. Everything is a la carte, but if you get the house made chips (I think they're plantain chips, but I'm not sure), they give you this awesome sweet and spicy ketchup dipping sauce. If you love Indian food but don't have the time or money for a full service Indian restaurant, definitely try this place out!“
“Keenan was a phenomenal employee. He greeted me upon arrival & was patient while I scoured the menu. He was pleasant & informative with explaining all the options & sauces.Vegetarian options: You build it how u want with 20+ items.Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of seating & open space for navigating.“
“I’ve never been to this location and Dani was extremely helpful with helping me order something off the menu since I have so many allergies. Dani was knowledgeable and made sure that I ordered something I was satisfied with since my orginal order I had put in contained ingredients I was allergic to. Dani went out of her way to also explain other items on the menu that I could select from, and the experience she gave me was very personable. Usually when I go to breakfast places not many of the staff are so nice and also so knowledgeable on the food they are serving. I will be back to this location. Thank you Dani, excellent customer service.“
“Cute little cafe, perfect for a brunch date. I had the waffle pizza and it was delicious!! Served with the cutest little glass syrup bottle, and the perfect blend of sweet and savory.Dietary restrictions: Great vegetarian and vegan options.“
“This is one of my favorite places for lunch when I got into the office. I visit the store at least 1x per week. The food is always very fresh and the service is great!! The store is very popular.I want to give a BIG shout out to Yaritea Perez!! She went above and beyond for me today!! I greatly appreciate your kindness and help!! I will see you again next week!! THANK YOU!!If you haven't been here, give this restaurant a try!!“

“Had lunch here last Friday.Their entire menu is gluten, dairy, fish, shellfish and peanut free!Their sauces are also all vegan!We ordered the Panang Chicken curry bowl and the Thai Basil chicken Bowl.I requested for the sauce to be on the side for my Thai Basil chicken bowl and they gladly accommodated my request.Both bowls were very yummy! They were loaded with veggies!I then went on to takeaway an additional bowl of the Panang curry bowl for myself for dinner! - the cashew curry sauce was very good!Dietary restrictions: Gluten, lactose, shellfish, fish, peanut free“
“The food here was delicious and so filling. I came with a group of 5 and basically ordered one item from each section on the menu, trying a lamb, beef, seafood, veggie, and chicken selection. Honestly, I don’t even know if we specifically got what we ordered; it seemed like the server just gave us what she thought was good for each section, which was fine by us.Eritrean food and Ethiopian food have a fairly large overlap, sharing the injera and eating style, but differing on certain sauces and use of tomatoes (among other things). The injera here wasn’t as sour as I’ve had at other places, which I found I actually prefer, and I really loved its taste. The salad in the middle was a nice touch and the dressing was delicious. All the flavors of each item were rich and robust. My favorite was the fish— it was tender and full of flavor; I felt the beef was pretty tough/overcooked though. Overall, it was a lot of food and we all were extremely stuffed afterwards; it was well worth the ~$30 per person cost.A family-owned neighborhood restaurant with very homey vibes and a spacious interior, our servers were super sweet and attentive. They kept bringing out more injera, various spicy sauces, and water for us. Though the food took quite some time to come out, it was worth it when it arrived. Overall, it’s a great spot to bring a larger group, and if I lived closer I would definitely come more regularly.—Price (relative to peers): 4.2/5Food: 4.5/5Ambience: 4.4/5Service: 4.8/5Overall Value: 4.5/5“

“I got a "Fight the Flu" smoothie here a few weeks ago, and it was super fresh, nourishing, and delicious! Just what I needed. Free samples of their acai bowls, as well. I hadn't even realized this place was here until recently, so I hope more people find it and frequent it! The employee working at the time was super friendly and enthusiastic about the restaurant. I tried a gluten-free (yuca) empanada as well, and it was great! This spot deserves to be more lively insideDietary restrictions: Gluten-free options available“
“Words cannot even begin to describe how much I absolutely LOVE these guys! Of course we have their amazing food and selections, but their customer service is stellar and just off the charts! Always has been and this review is long overdue as I’ve been a customer for a long time. They always go above and beyond and truly take food allergies very seriously! Great staff! Huge thank you to all!“
“I love this place! I can’t even begin to count how many times I have been there, but it never lets me down. I love the vegetarian and vegan options!! The people that I have gone with that eat the meat dishes also say it is delicious. I always get the soya torta & Soya chicken tacos.“
“The food is definitely very good, you really think you are eating the machetes of the worker colony in Cdmx.1. What takes away points is that there is no option for parking, but it can be corrected by searching nearby streets.2. The cashier should improve her hygiene a little, wear a mask and not wipe her snot in front of the diners.Parking: Search surrounding streets.“
“A family run restaurant with great food and a friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The appetizer are start to every meal. A selection of appetizer and splitting a main course is often enough for two.Dietary restrictions: The food is made to order and meets the personal needs.“
“My only complaint was that we waited almost an additional hour past when the order was estimated to be ready to get our food. This is a relatively simple problem and shouldn't affect your choice to go there. This could have been due to circumstances that were unique to that evening.The food was absolutely worth the wait though. Very delicious.Vegetarian options: Lots of variety with huge flavor.“
“Good salads and smoothies, and now they have avocado toast. Tons of variety, order one of their salad concoctions or create your own. It is in my office building so it's convenient, the employees have been friendly (I usually go at less busy times). And they have an app you can use to pay and then get a credit when you spend a certain amount. This is a nice option to have for lunch or dinner.“
“I don't know how they ended up there but there's always a bunch of soul vegan options at my local bodega. All of them are good, but I'd sell my left foot for a lifetime supply of the Chik'n salad wrap. All offerings are good, but that wrap is amazing.“
“Oh how we love this place! The food is always fresh and delicious. We don’t even get mad when they occasionally get our order mixed up a little lol we’ve ordered from them at least 20 times in the past 18 months ?!!! Great option for vegetarians like us.“
“Not only is the coffee the best around, but it is the most unique gem of a coffee shop hidden in a busy area. There are many cozy and private spaces tucked within walls lined with books and vintage pantings. There is an unspoken, respectful quiet ambiance for studying or sharing soft conversations over a great sandwich and latte. I loved going here when I was a student at DePaul and Adler university in my city days. It was such a treat to bring my young daughter there to visit 10 years later. She even found a cool vintage Barbie mystery book to look at, and a Russian ballet book. One of my favorite places in the city ❤️“
“genuinely the best salad and fries i’ve ever had. I will think about this meal every single day for the rest of my life. I got the buffalo chicken salad, chicken tortilla soup, and parmesan sweet potato fries and wow. like wow. I have no words. portions were amazing. taste was amazing. it was all fresh when I picked it up. 10000/10.“
“This is was a nice experience, when you walk in it gives you chipotle vibes. For us Muslims’ this is a halal mediterranean chipotle and it’s actually pretty good. Not the best mediterranean food but it’s really good if you want to take a quick lunch break. Great service.“
“Love this place! The food, the service and the speed of the workers. They handle the lunch time rush everyday with ease. Workers always great with a smile and get the order right every time. I want to highlight Nallely, LuLu, Lupe, Victor, Jesus and Jose. The whole staff there is amazing. Thank you for all the hard work you do.“
“Veggitopia's food was an absolutely amazing surprise to me. I had ordered the Philly cheesesteak and loaded hummus after seeing a promotion that they were offering. My expectations were to receive average food, but I have to say that Veggitopia gave me vegan food that tasted miles better than even some of the non-vegan restaurants/kitchens in the area. If this is their mission, then they are on a great track to accomplish it. I was blown away. I have no complaints or constructive criticism. I really hope that they keep up the quality and I encourage anyone that is on the fence to try them out!“
“Bloom has become my favorite place to grab brunch in Wicker Park on Sundays! Stunning atmosphere, incredibly thoughtful, kind, attentive staff, and the food consistently blows me away! This weekend I went with a friend and we shared their Avocado Toast special which was an easy 10/10. Their Caesar Salad is always a must (and a tasty way to sneak in greens with brunch). The star of the show for me is always the Tempeh Ranchero Omelette - it nearly brings me to tears every single time (it's that GREAT)!! It was nearly 70 degrees outside and we sat right in the window with them open and it was glorious. If you're looking for a great spot for a girl's brunch, date night, or foodie spot in Chicago, this is an absolute MUST!“
