    aurantsLoved this place. Will definitely go back and will recommend it to people looking for a quiet charming neighborhood gem, with interesting, tasty but not at all pretentious food. The bread bassket, the eggplant appetizer, and the lamb kebabs with pulled noodles were incrdible, as was the honey cake dessert. One of my new favorite restaurants.

    Overall a great experience with our family of 5 plus a guest and third visit. The pulled noodles are not common even in Chicago so go for the Boso Lagman w/ beef. Dumplings and all appetizers are terrific and worth sampling. The Manty dumplings as an entree also very good and shareable. The Plov, chicken or beef, is great and very filling. We generally don’t get desert but the homemade honey cake which surprisingly wasn’t overly sweet was also great for sharing.

    Food was amazing, service was great, it was my dining here. The eggplant was amazing as a starter and the honey cake was the perfect end. Everything in between was super tasty. The staff was very sweet and accommodating.

    This was a great ethnic restaurant. Excellent pierogi and borscht. Our waitress was the best: friendly, efficient and responsive to our requests. Great value for home cooking.
