O. K.: The beef Carpaccio and the pastas are always a delight, and everything else is absolutely delicious. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago.
Stephen Lawrence: Get the fried calamari, frutti de mare and of course the tiramisu!!!!
Time Out Chicago: The toughest part of Mom's brunch here will be choosing between the smoked salmon omelette, the eggs Benedict and the fried eggs with spicy pesto.

David Heiser: Amazing lamb tagine. Also, be sure to get the mint tea, it's unreal.
Imran Khan: Lamb was amazing, don't forget to order the mint tea!!
Sam Dewese: Mint tea and chicken fes are both out of this world. Michelin recommended with good reason!
Sara: #44 the vegetarian combo is DELICIOUS. Lots of different flavors to taste!
Matt Marron: Amazing food would be an understatement! Sounds dramatic, but true. Out of several Ethiopian restaurants across the country that Ive tried, Awash is in a league of it's own. Better than E. Diamond.
Jennifer Marron: By far the best Ethiopian food in town. It's going to give ED a run for it's money. The owner/chef makes food that will seriously leave you wanting more!

Korin Weathersby: Love it!!! Outdoor area is awesome, not to mention the bags games, fire pits as well as the full bar; what's there not to love??
Time Out Chicago: If you're looking for a beer garden near the United Center, check out the 10,000 square feet of outdoor space here. http://tmout.us/lKTEo Read more.
Amanda DeVries Hon: seriously understaffed. I don't know what they are thinking. I have been here watching a hawks game for over 2 hours and I have only been able to get 1 drink. This place could be awesome but its not.

Mykie Lim: Try the strawberry basil lemonade and the Moscow/Michigan mule. Say hi to the friendly and best bartenders on halsted.
Daniel McCoy: Red Dynasty. End Scene.
Time Out Chicago: A well-made cocktail was a hard thing to find in Boystown. Thankfully there’s Elixir, which not only shakes mean drinks, but also keeps the crowd in control and the music somewhat low. Read more.
Le Wang: My favorite Ethiopian restaurant. Love the doro watt and all the spicy tibs. Spicy dish not for the weak!
Matty Herzberg: The food is good here, without question, but have you tried the hand dryer in the men's room? WOW!
Chet Farley: The food is amazing, despite being written and described on the menu in Papyrus font.
