My husband and I were here in 2018 and it was phenomenal. When we had an opportunity to visit…read moreChicago again, my husband made reservations here for their Tiniest Goat menu and experience. This menu was anything but tiny and delivered big on EXPERIENCE. Last time, we saw Chef Izard expediting the line and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. This time, Chef Izard wasn't here but her restaurant still ran with the same precision and impeccable eye for quality of food, service, and ambiance. Our server was Luis (and his team) and we sat at the kitchen bar. We were greeted with genuine warmth and a champagne toast. We will remember Luis and will ask for him again. The menu items on this six-course Tiniest Goat experience were ANYTHING but tiny. The flavors were even BEYOND what we'd come to expect having eaten here previously and at Chef Izard's LA rooftop dining experience. The menu items were a fusion of Chicagoat, Asian, and California fresh! The braised goat with persimmons was an unexpected delight, as was every single course. We've had great goat empanadas here before. My husband lived in the DR before where he'd thought he had the best goat ever, but Chef Izard's team surpassed his high expectations. Chef Preston was personable and made the experience unlike we'd had before in the best possible ways. It was interactive. We got to experience firsthand what we saw last time only closer up, which was a team that works exceptionally well with each other AND truly loves what they do. They were also having fun and kind to one another. Well Done, BRAVO!

I didn't think this was possible, but the food was even better on our second visit!…read more We had the peanut appetizer (badam sodheko), the tingmo, and the thakali bhojan with bhatura. The badam sodheko had a very interesting flavour - the horseradish gave it a flavour unlike anything I've tasted before. It was a very heavy dish, especially for an appetizer, and I'm glad I had a dining partner to share it with. The tingmo shone because of the spicy tomato sauce. The sauce was bold, perfectly seasoned and light. We asked for a second serving of the sauce because we liked it so much. The bhatura was one of the crispiest bhaturas I have ever had the pleasure of trying - it paired especially well with the aloo from the thali. All the dishes in the thali were delicious, from the dal to the kheer. We received a complimentary gajar ka halva. It was incredibly creamy and decadent. The woman who served us was friendly and warm. She made sure we were well taken care of, and repeatedly checked in on us. The ambiance was simple but clean. This was one of my best meals in Chicago. I hope to keep returning to Sherpa kitchen during my time here!

The ingredient list definitely sounds like it could be too salty, but they controlled the salt levels pretty well. It wasn't too greasy, either. The beef and lamb shawarma was tender.

Price: I'm not sure what would be considered "the average price" for tacos, but given the size and…read morehow much protein was packed into each taco, my partner and I were deeply satisfied with the amount of leftovers we had for a late dinner and the following day (We had orderd an 8-pack for $40ish, thinking the tacos were going to be relatively small). I will say - bring cash! The cashier taking orders advised me it would be significantly cheaper with cash. (I didn't ask how much the card fee would be, because I thankfully I cash on me anyways). Seating: limited, both inside and out. And the line literally never died when we were there, so it was extra crowded inside (the queue cuts right through the seating area, and those waiting for takeout have even less space to work with). We got lucky because we arrived right when another couple left their seats. In our 8-pack, we got three different protein options with plenty of consomme, but our opinions really differed on which was the best. My partner: 1) Surf & Turf 2) Al Pastor 3) Birria Me: 1) Al Pastor 2) Birria 3) Surf & Turf But overall, everything was too delicious to really matter. We wish we had something like this near us. (Also, because of the crowd, the food does take a bit of time to come out, but the wait is 100% worth it). Drinks: Strawberry Horchata ($5) & Fruit Punch Jarritos ($3.50) I originally really wanted the regular horchata, but they had just run out right when it was my turn to order (again, the line was nonstop). The flavor of the strawberry horchata took some getting used, but ultimately was an enjoyable drink to have with our meal (I do want to go back and try their regular horchata though).

Was treated to the lentil soup which was smooth, not too heavy on the tomato, and a slightly minty - a delicate flavor. I had the Sampler 4. The best falafel I have ever had. The eggplant salad was smokey and a bit like baba ghanoush. The shakshuka was slightly spicy. The ezme was slightly carmel flavored. The dolma were tender and tasted of lemon and mint. My husband enjoyed the manti, small dumplings filled with ground beef. For dessert, we had a delicious cup of tea that they blend in house. And kunefe, which is made from finely ground filo with cheese in the middle, fried and topped with simple syrup and chopped pistachios. Truly outstanding. The owner and staff were attentive and kind. This has just become one of our favorite places to eat in the Loop.

Chicken was tender. A little over seasoned for my taste but when you dip it in the yogurt sauce it mellowed the saltiness. The Amada plate was also good. The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned. Hubby had the gyro plate (not shown) but he enjoyed it. Plenty of meat. The complimentary bread and dip were delicious. The dip was some type of yogurt mixed with artichoke but it had some carrot shavings in it. Dessert: all were delicious. The baklava and kataifi were the usual sweetness of the syrup. The cold baklava though..... A MUST if the regular baklava is too sweet for you. It's creamy and milky. It reminded me of a tiramisu texture. I will def find this back home. Great customer service! Everyone was welcoming and great. Would definitely return if I'm back in town ! D

The…read morewebsite and doors say they open at 11:30 and the doors were locked and lights off so we decided to go get coffee next door in hopes that they opened at noon. At noon, they unlocked the door, no hello or greeting - just straight behind the counter and to the kitchen for us to order at the screen in the front. The screen was filthy (they just opened as a reminder) we couldn't tell what was in the 'combo' and then when we were going to order the boneless chicken wings, as they were gluten free when we ordered them years ago, I asked one of the women in the kitchen to confirm. She said no, I don't think so. And walked away without any further guidance for what I might be able to eat on their menu. It's not a preference, it's a dietary restriction - so we walked out from there. They clearly had no interest in helping me or our business. A real disappointment after driving 30 minutes out of our way to try and enjoy it.

The cream puffs were fresh, crisp outside and soft inside. Honestly, everything on my table was excellent. The presentation stood out too. Each plate came with fresh strawberries and blueberries, a chocolate drizzle, and a dusting of powdered sugar, almost like a restaurant dessert. The pastry case is full of choices, from honey cake and cheesecakes to croissants and savory pirozhki, so it's hard to pick just one. My cappuccino came exactly as I ordered it, extra hot. A lot of cafés get that wrong, and here it was perfect. There's also a free self-serve station with fresh water and fruit-infused water, a thoughtful touch. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy, with white brick walls and a warm, relaxed vibe. It's great for talking or just unwinding. The restrooms were spotless, and the staff were friendly and helpful the whole time. If you love European-style pastries and good coffee, Sweet Moon is a must. I'll definitely be back!
