“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“I’ve lived less than a mile from this place for a decade and never tried it; tonight was the night. It’s a unique establishment - hookah lounge, banquet hall, bar. Walking in was a little confusing for first timers but we were quickly welcomed and seated at the bar. Drink pours were impressively heavy. Our food came out fast and was great. The cheese burek appetizer deserves special mention with its garlic and hot sauces! Our waiter/bartender was in full hustle mode on a busy Friday night but still found time to take good care of us and have a few short chats. Overall I’d highly recommend eating here. It’s a bit “different,” but who likes the same old thing over and over? I’ll be back.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options here.

Parking: Parking in front and behind the building, one lot has a small curb to traverse. Not an issue for most vehicles.“

“Food was great. Servers were knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely would eat there again.“

“This restaurant is good and offers the most delicious and tasty food and fresh juices. I recommend it.“

“This is probably one of the worst food pics I've ever taken only because I knew how super delicious everything was going to be and I took it in a hurry to dive in! My husband and I travel through the area a few times a year on the way to see a medical specialist. We discovered this restaurant about 4 years ago and the roasted Greek chicken dinner is ALWAYS a homerun! You know how you hyper fixate on a certain meal, but eventually it loses its shine so to speak, well I keep thinking that will happen with this chicken. But it is consistently amazing. You get a nice big salad or soup, rice with Greek potatoes, freshly cooked vegetables, half or whole chicken, (the whole chicken order only comes with the sides for one like the half chicken, but it could easily feed two) warm pita and a lemon wedge. I happy dance from the first sprinkle of squeezed lemon over my plate on through the last bite. We always have enough to bring home for lunches as well. Such good food that really makes you feel good. Friends back home always ask if I had the chance to stop by during our trips because they know what a highlight it is for us.
The atmosphere can be a little loud and echoey at times. I had an injury that makes bright lights and loud spaces pretty painful at times. When we can't eat in, we order for carry out and picnic in the very nearby, super beautiful park with great facilities, Sunset Woods Park. Greek chicken in a beautiful park? **Chef's kiss**“

“We have a nice dinner the food was so good, and for sure we will back 💖💖“

“perfect service, excellent food. Great time 👍“

“My first time eating lunch at Ema was outstanding. I was meeting a colleague and wasn’t sure what to expect because we had a lot of work to cover. The entire staff was very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. We received wonderful service and had a very healthy lunch. The food was great and all our salads were fresh and delicious.“

“Food was fresh and delicious, tasted very authentic! We were a party of 5 that all ordered a different dish and all was very good. Restaurant itself is a bit plain but it’s modern, clean and friendly service which is more important. Ordered the baklava at the end and it is GREAT! Thank you!“

“Excellent food and ambiance, The brick chicken is my favorite. Our friends who have lived throughout the country said the pork chop is the best they ever had“

“the food here is simply amazing. I had a jumbo dog and onion rings and I swear that I have never eaten better. I'm definitely coming back to this place. if you're in the area I strongly suggest you try them out.“

“Fresh food and desserts Great service, definitely recommend it“

“D 4 Cafe on Western is a cozy, no-frills spot that serves up some of the most authentic Bosnian food in Chicago. I stopped by for lunch and ordered the cevapi with lepinja and a side of ajvar. The cevapi were perfectly grilled, juicy, and flavorful, nestled in soft, fresh lepinja bread. The ajvar added a nice kick, complementing the dish beautifully. The service was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. If you're craving authentic Balkan cuisine, this spot is a must-visit.“

“Been here multiple times and it is a great experience every time. They are so quick and the food is always so fresh. It is definitely one of my favorite counter-serve restaurants. They have some of the best dressings and meat choices, all for a very reasonable price.“

“I got the combination plate, it was a lot of food and everything was 🔥 they also gave me a scoop of hummus to try which was also good“

“Great customer service, and testy food 😋“

“Great selection, reasonable pricing, amazing customer service. Highly recommend.“

“Perfect place to eat a meal or host an event. We just hosted a bridal shower and could not be more pleased with the decor, the food and the service. The staff are very attentive, Definitely worth a visit“

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“Stopped by tonight for the best Ribs in town. Excellent food Excellent prices. A must stop to eat….“

“This place is great. Good food. Well priced. Attentive and friendly staff. My wife and I drive like 25 mins out of our way just to come here. It's getting harder these days to find restaurants that haven't excessively increased prices while lowering the overall quality of their food. Definitely worth the visit for great Mediterranean.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and awesome location!“

“Very clean and friendly and never felt to be rushed out. From the (still warm from the oven) flatbread and humus appetizer to the main course to the baklava desert, everything tasted amazing and fresh.“

“The food is delicious and the people are extremely friendly. I am a big fan and highly recommend there Eggplant Parmigiano, beet salad, curries, and Spaghetti marinara. But you can’t go wrong, food is top quality. They make my life easier after a long day at work. Oh, and one of the best brownies I have ever had!“

“Zad was fantastic! I went with my family who were visiting from abroad and they thought Zad was the best food they ate in the Chicago area. It was delicious, healthy, clean, and filling. Not only that but the service was unparalleled and the owner was highly generous and friendly. Can't recommend this place enough.“
