    Breakfast Sandwich
    Insia Z.

    Halal deli! Very yummy make your own breakfast sando - croissant, beef bacon, egg, and cheese, yum. Solid iced vanilla latte. Would return.

    Picture this. 6:20pm on a Wednesday, it's 92 degrees out and I'm wearing baggy jeans, all my friends are wearing shorts and I'm wondering why I didn't adjust for the weather. I'm a vegetarian, all I want is a grilled cheese (which is not on the menu), the cashier pulls out the most beautiful and mind blowing pesto grilled cheese of my lifetime out of thin air. Mango refresher really sealed the deal for me. And they got WiFi.

    Quick and friendly service. Plenty of available seating and nearby benches to sit and eat outside. The Ruben was delicious and you can't go wrong with a caramel latte -- I'll be excited to see this place expand their menu as they grow :)

    Serai Cafe and Deli - Serai Burger
    Todor K.

    The Serai Burger is hands down one of the best burgers I've had in Chicago. The beef patty is juicy, the American cheese melts perfectly, and those Serai sauces pull everything together. The special bun holds it all without falling apart. Absolute perfection.

    Have tried almost everything on their menu by now, and their food is delicious! A huge plus is that it's zabiha halal! The employees and the owner are super friendly and ensure that you have a great experience. The restaurant is extremely cozy and has a modern look to it!

    The sandwiches my wife and I had were very good. Nice sized and very tasty. The owner and staff were very nice and helpful. We will be back.

    Painfully slow and horrible sandwich. Waited 20 minutes and hot panini sandwich was served cold. This is a place to avoid.

    I met the owner and he was awesome. I ate a Reuben and it was delicious. I used the WiFi and it was so speedy.

    Finally tried out the Quesabirria Jalisco and I'm obsessed! If you're looking for a new spot for…read morebirria, this is it. The staff is super friendly, and the service was quick, which is always a plus. The beef birria tacos were stacked and loaded with cheese and perfectly crispy. The consommé was delicious too, super flavorful and not greasy at all. Loved the orange sauce !! We also grabbed the El Michelin ribeye tacos, along with some rice, beans, and an horchata to wash it down. That horchata was on point ,not too sweet, just perfect. They've got a few protein options, so I'm definitely coming back to try more. Can't wait for my next visit!

    First of all, I would like to thank Quesabirria Jalisco for great customer service! It's so hard to…read morerun into nowadays!!! Nowwwww the fooodddd! Their quesabirria is very delicious! Nice and tender meat very cheesy! Comes with a delicious consume that's not greasy at all and limes on the side. Their pinto beans were good. They had a different flavor that I'm used to. It wasn't really heavy on cumin or onions and garlic, but still delicious. Now the star for me was the strawberry Horchata very creamy delicious not overly sweet. Soooo goood! You get two different sauces. The green one has some spice! Now they offer steak tacos with avocado which are good (they have another name for them but I forgot)! They prefer cash, however they do accept credit/debit you use pay a little more. Great eats and plain and strawberry horchata! A cute clean small place!!! They are always busy so you will wait at least a good 15 mins to get your food...

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.
