"Delicious!! My husband and I drove into Chicago for a concert and found this place when looking for something that was open. We both got the special with a small soup and small entree. I got the Mastava which was absolutely delicious and I loved the fresh dill. My husband got the Borscht which was also delicious. Haven’t been to many restaurants with central Asian food and this was a really good experience! The lady serving us was also very sweet and super nice!"

"Chayhana is a low-key central Asian spot with a quiet atmosphere. The Kuurdak featured flavorful potatoes, and the Boso Lagman had great seasoning, though the noodles were a bit too soft. The cheese pida was a pleasant surprise, rich with mozzarella and very filling. Not the top choice for this cuisine in the city, but still a solid and comforting option."

"Great place for Eastern European and Central Asian food. You must try the hearing salad and the honey cake. The service is wonderful. The place is slightly rundown, but the food is delicious. I came here for Ukrainian Borsch and Plov. Recommend everything."

"It was my first time visiting Chicago and I wanted to try and compare Uzbekistan food there and in San Francisco where I came from. So, the food was amazing and much cheaper than in SF. I liked the most manty."

"By far the best Central Asian food in the Chicago area! Entire menu is authentic. Hearty, delicious food in enormous portions. Handmade noodles, dumplings, and pastries are fantastic. Hot bread, both oven and deep fried (!) served with tons of butter and spicy peppery sauce. Soups are meaty and rich. Strongly recommended. Don’t forget to drink green tea as a traditional palate cleanser after your meal :)"
