Halal Restaurants near Darien, IL

“Taktuka Moroccan Kitchen is a SEVEN star experience - not a five star experience. It is truly the definition of a small joint with BIG HEART.

Let me BEGIN with Khaled and Hamza. The most gracious and humble hosts - paying attention to every detail and stopping at nothing to bring whatever the customer wants to fruition. We don’t realize that the place closes at 8:00 pm, and just kept chomping and socializing - they never once pointed it out to us. I begin with them because they were the friendliest folks, and their service was truly remarkable.

Then comes the food - my goodness, the food. Let’s begin with the Harira. Perfectly seasoned, but for me, it requires a little more salt (which is personal preference) and a pop of acid like lemon to bring out its true flavor. Overall, a really comforting, rich soup without being heavy or cloying. Then came the Moroccan seasoned potatoes - oooooweeee! These were little nuggets of pure deliciousness. Seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside and every bite kept you wanting to go back for more. Then the lamb shank tagine - ummmm, excuse me?!?! What do you mean the meat is like butter? It literally falls off the bone and dissolves in your mouth. Rich, fatty, unctuous and truly a delight. The bed of couscous it came with was also great - made better by the sauce from the lamb shank. The highlight of this plate were the roasted prunes that are part of the sauce. Sweet, jammy prunes cooked into the sauce made them just truly a delightful mouthfeel in comparison to the couscous and the scrumptious meat.

To top it all off, the cherry on top, is their comforting Moroccan mint tea. So very fresh and the perfect end to an absolutely DELIGHTFUL meal. Highly recommended!!!“

“We went there to celebrate my birthday, food was good , we tried Brisket and chicken sandwiches , wings ,Brisket was juicy and well seasoned, but if we order 1 lb they should increase size of rice and fries. we was not so fan of mocktails, specifically not spicy mint, it tasted like mint chatni we make at home , 😆and strawberry lemonade and dragon blast was little to sour/salty , maybe if there was some sparkling soda added will be good, that’s what I tried in Europe once…else food was good, want to try some different stuff next time..“

“This place is unreal -- especially for someone gluten free. I went in knowing zero about Burmese cuisine, but was walked through a series of dishes that have become instant classics that I crave: tofu gyaw, the tea salad, kyarzan thoke, chicken mango, and the goat curry. Do not sleep on this place! The food is fresh and meticulously prepared. The flavors are incredible and the portions filling. The staff are warm and engaging. 10/10 across the board.“

“Loved everything about my dinner here. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. Love the variety on the menu. Staff were super friendly. Decor and atmosphere cheery and relaxed. Check it out soon - you will not regret it!“

“Slyce of NY has amazing food , vibe and staff! We plan to definitely come back again as a family as the pizza and rice bowls were a hit with us and the little one.“

“WOW! The food was amazing. Try the fruit tea & cakes.The lamb and chicken was out of this world. Even the Greek Salad was the best I ever had. Service was awesome. I highly recommend this place. We live 1 hour away & can't wait to come back.“

“Amazing, you got to try this place.“

“Delicious food!!! A burger joint in a strip mall doesn’t inspire confidence, but you walk into this cozy place, with attractive wall murals, and somehow you get the feeling that you’re in the right place. We were in a rush, so came here for a quick lunch - ordered the following: double cheeseburgers, peri peri burgers, veggie samosa burger (off menu) and mango habañero wings….and EVERYTHING was fantastic!!! The double cheeseburgers were juicy, and succulent, the peri peri grilled chicken burger was tender and saucy, the wings were absolutely delicious, crisp despite the mango habañeeo sauce which had the perfect level of sweet heat. Lastly, the veggie burger - so the menu has FANTASTIC samosas, so when we asked if they had a veggie burger, they told us they can prepare a delicious burger using their veggie samosa. Imagine our skepticism, and then our utter shock, when it turned out to be the most delicious spicy, saucy samosa burger we have ever sunk our teeth in! Overall, an excellent experience, but with all the personnel exuding immense warmth and gracious hospitality. Definitely coming here OVER and OVER again!!! Yum!“

“Overall food was outstanding. I'm giving it 4 stars because they ran out of lenthil soup :) and one chicken kebab piece felt undercooked. Salads were outstanding. Tajik tea was superb.
We also met the main chef. She was wonderful and kind. Every dish made from scratch.

For Indian american patron, buy a box of Uzbek Halwa. You will thank me later!!“

“The chicken shwarma tacos and spicy beef were outstanding“

“Their chicken Philly needs a lot of work. They overwhelmed it with onions and cheese but not enough meat. Ratio needs correction. Also the fries were undercooked and extremely soggy. Their menu is on the pricier side. As for their service and atmosphere, it was overall solid. I will be back here.“

“Food was very delicious! I was very impressed and would definitely return.“

“They have really good food and the portions are worth the price!! Been there twice already.“

“Great food and great service! Sopes are the go to.☺️ But Guacamole is the best.🤎“

“Great food. Simple menu very well executed.“

“The wings were really really good and burger was soo cheesy and delicious! Perfect comfort food to fulfill your cheesy cravings!! Absolutely recommend :)“

“Burgers are top tier, probably one of the best smash burgers in the suburbs. The inside of this place needs a lot of work though.. I’m not sure if they’re remodeling, but if it’s gonna take away from the quality of the food forget about it“

“Excellent food, specially Halwa Puri.“

“very nice people. immaculate. modern decor. astonishing food. many dishes. extremely authentic. completely delicious. perfectly fresh. Everything made from scratch. highly, highly recommended!“

“We ordered a 12-piece fried chicken with 2 sides and 6 honey biscuits...this was BY FAR THE BEST fried chicken we have tasted, including a certain chain named after a "sailor-man", starts with a "p"... the coating on the chicken was just right, very tasty! And those honey-biscuits, Ohhh wow! Even the coleslaw was crunchy and delicious 😋 I will be going back to Mr. Broast for chicken very soon! The staff at this location was so courteous, too-this was my first time at this place, and didn't know what to expect...the gentleman who took my order asked me all the questions to be sure that my order was exactly what I wanted, no guesswork!“
