    Mango Ceviche
    Elaine S.

    Boem is a gem. We came on Friday night around 6:30 and were shockingly the only customers. The owner's daughter was our server and was extremely kind and attentive. We both order margaritas and the balance was perfect - not too sweet and I could tell they didn't skimp on the liquor! It was happy hour and their Pollo con Tajadas was half off and did not disappoint! The chicken and plantains were cooked perfectly and the portion was huge! We also got mango ceviche and beef empanadas and both were delicious. I'm looking forward to coming back and hope more people give this place a try!

    Very friendly and helpful service. Our language group came here for one of our Meetups and found ourselves alone on a Friday night. Apparently things don't get moving until after 9pm or so. The weekends showcase live music and I'm sad I left early because I heard that one of our members got to sing some songs and now I'm jealous. But at least I was back with the Balkan hospitality for a night. Huge menu, but they don't always have all of the items prepared. No big deal, they have plenty more to choose from. Bring a hearty appetite, because you will most likely have left overs. Their sopska salata was one of the best I've had in Chicagoland. I wasn't as thrilled with my pljeskavica; however, the gulas and corba looked amazing. Cevapi smelled good too. More grilled meats than you could imagine. I can't wait to try the place again. Dessert and wine list is extensive, but they only had palacinke (crepes) that night. Don't come looking for decaf coffee either. Decaf is not in the Balkan vocabulary. Get with the program and grab a cup of Turkish or a nice glass of Vranac red wine.

    Stuffed chicken

    Hubby and I tried Boem for the first time last night and we were pleasantly suprised. My first thought was that the place was smoky and out of date (which it is) however, the service we received far outweighed the atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly and helpful as she guided us through the cuisine since we were unfamiliar with it. The service is what bumped them up to a 4 star, our waitress was really that great! We ended up both ordering a beef soup, hubby ordered the "pork" sausages cavepa (sp?) and I ordered the stuffed chicken. The beef soup had good flavor, although I gotta admit because they use chicken broth the beef tasted more like chicken than beef but it clearly was beef. It was also huge, you could order that and eat it with the bread on the table and be full. The Cavepas were very good, almost like breakfast sausage but with a middleeastern flavor. I referred to them as "prok" sausage because they say pork on the menu but they are actually beef. The chicken was pretty good, though it needed seasoning it was prepared well and the cheese sauce was great! The fries that came with both entrees were also delicious. Overall it was was a good experience and would definitely go back.

    That is not real. They roast a pork and lamb on the front of you. I did not see that since 70's. Everything looks good and nice but: GARDEN? That no town have , what they have in restaurant Boem, unbelievable even for Rome, Paris and London Must see and enjoy. They are open from 11 am to 2 am and shame is, garden must bi close on 10 pm.

    See all

They were so friendly!!! They have an upstairs where they have karaoke they said. The decor and the tables were made of piping, I loved that too much!!! Highly recommend. Everything looked delicious.

    Wanted stew and remembered Humita offered food specials (express meals) on them. Glad I called in…read morean order rather than using the web. Learned that the stew express meals mentioned on their website are no longer available. Update the website then? The stews with two sides are still available but their pricing has more than doubled and portions are small like lunch specials. I wonder if dining in is why most reviews are five starred. Need to try that way sometime. Ordered two stew meals. Lamb (awesome that they offer this protein) & chicken. Lamb was properly stewed and easy to eat. The chicken was boring in flavor and hardly any gravy was included. Smh. The carryout container has three sections. One for the "main" and two sides. Alas, they fill the main section with a big ass amount of rice. Then fill the side areas with stew and your second option. Stews are in the $22-26 range. They have to reconsider how they're serving. I mean, stew needs its gravy to go with all that rice and the portion should be significantly larger. Due to the niceties of their staff and the flavors, I'd check them out again. Dine-in.

    Had a great lunch with friends here yesterday . The spot is a little confusing when you first walk…read morein... there's a patio with a food truck and outdoor seating . You can sit outside or grab a menu and go inside . The inside has about 8 tables that fit 4 people each . Inside there is a table with utensils and water glasses as well for help yourself service . You order at the food truck window and grab a seat. They brought our food inside to us on a tray. We ordered the rope vieja, steak jibaritos, and flautas . Everything was very good but I especially loved the flautas with the consome. It was absolutely delicious and very unique, I drank the leftover consome because it was that good . Just poor everything in one big bowl . The flautas keep their crisp even when swimming in the broth . I liked the shredded Munster cheese on the jibarito and loved the green sauce . Sooo good!! The restaurant is byob and we brought mixes for bloody Mary's and some beers. It was nice to enjoy the meal and not feel rushed . I really enjoyed the experience, good music playing and kind service . Definitely recommend

    I had such an amazing experience at Omarcitos today…read more I stumbled across an IG reel of this food spot, and I immediately knew I had to check them out. The cafe has such an interesting set up. You order from what appears to be a food truck, and there is an outdoor (open concept) and indoor seating. We ordered the steak sandwich and ropa vieja plate. The steak sandwich was DELICIOUS. The bread was crispy, and the meat was flavorful and juicy. The sandwich also paired so well with their garlic side sauces. The Ropa vieja was also so insanely yummy. The beef was so juicy and savory. The garlic rice was also so yummy. I'm not a huge fan of plantains, but the plantains were actually pretty decent! Overall, I had an excellent experience at Omarcitos. I cannot wait to come back once it gets warmer!!
