Mediterranean | South Loop,

"We love Kurah. I’ve eaten here for dinner and lunch. The food is always great and it’s a neighborhood gem! This most recent dining experience wasn’t quite at the level it usually is but only due to our server. She didn’t know what beer they had on tap which is strange. Her excuse was that “the bartender would know more than me.” Well, why not take the opportunity to learn it? was my thought. Go ask the bartender what beer is on tap and write it down so you’ve got the list! Our friend had to walk over from our table to the bar to do the research himself. Not a huge deal, but weird nonetheless. Otherwise our food and drinks were great."See more

"Super cool restaurant located near the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and Adler Planetarium. The food was well priced for how large the portions were and how delicious it was! We both had “the” bacon cheeseburger which had the thickest layer of aged cheddar I’ve ever had, delicious! We also had the regular fries, sweet potato tater tots, and the fried pickles. Everything was amazing!! Would definitely go again next time I visit Chicago."See more
