Reviews of MEDI
"Brunch was fantastic! The shakshuka and baklava French toast were both phenomenal. Very good cocktails too. I highly recommend"
"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Medi Kitchen & Cocktail in Chicago, and it was truly a gastronomic adventure that exceeded all expectations. From the moment I stepped in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for what turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience. To start, I ordered the Potato Borak as an appetizer, and it was a revelation in flavor. The crispy pastry wrapped around creamy mashed potatoes and herbs created an exquisite contrast in textures, and the accompanying dipping sauce added a delightful tangy kick. It was an ideal prelude to the culinary journey that awaited. The Fattoush Salad was a refreshing and colorful medley of fresh vegetables, toasted pita bread, and a zesty dressing that awakened the palate. The balance of flavors and textures in this dish was impeccable, making it a perfect palate cleanser before the main course. Speaking of the main course, the Beef Kabob and Shish Tawook were nothing short of spectacular. The Beef Kabob was tender and succulent, with a delightful smoky char that added depth to the taste. The Shish Tawook, featuring marinated chicken skewers, was incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. Both dishes were served with fragrant saffron rice and a medley of grilled vegetables that complemented the proteins superbly. The crowning jewel of the meal, however, was the Fairouz drink. Each sip was a symphony of textures and flavors, a sweet crescendo to an already exceptional meal. What sets Medi Kitchen & Cocktail apart is not just the outstanding cuisine but also the impeccable service. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering recommendations and ensuring that every need was met. In conclusion, my dining experience at Medi was nothing short of extraordinary. The culinary artistry, attention to detail, and warm ambiance combined to create a memorable evening. I can confidently give this restaurant a resounding 5/5 rating, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit to savor more of their delectable offerings. If you're in Chicago and looking for a taste of Mediterranean cuisine at its finest, Medi Kitchen & Cocktail is an absolute must-visit."
"Had brunch at Medi with a group of friends. As a Lebanese, the hommus plate has good flavor and the pita bread was nice and thin. The falafel plate was also tasty especially the falafel piece on top of the eggs, authentically Mediterranean. We asked them to play Fairuz for us to make the atmosphere more Arabian and they did. The waiters were very helpful and polite."
"Delicious dishes and starters. See pictures. The dinner menu has a greater variety of options vs the lunch menu. Nevertheless, still good. Street parking was easy to find. I’ve been both during lunch and dinner hours- no problems looking for parking. Service was super during the dinner hour. However. When we went again during lunch hours, the server was not attentive at all. 1) She forgot our request after asking 3 times for extra sauce, so we gave up. 2) We wanted water refill and she didn’t come back. 3) A few times, I tried to wave her over, she walked straight passed our table and headed to the back kitchen… quite rude. Paying by cash gives you a discount on the final bill. This is printed on the bill. We had a party of 8, so our lunch bill was not small change. Despite the service, we did give her appropriate tip."
"I recently tried this restaurant in the heart of Lincoln Park. It’s one of those places that I’ve pasted by so many times, but never ventured in. I’m so glad that I did try it out. First, the atmosphere and ambiance is amazing. The highlight of decor and the is plants. While I think most of the plant life is faux, that doesn’t take away from the great look. I felt that the plants with the white, exposed brick walls are a great look. Second, the cocktails are creative and fun. I ordered a cold brew old fashioned. This combines whisky and coffee, and it is literally my two favorite drinks in one. I highly recommend this drink. Third the food is very good. I ordered potato borak and soujek as appetizers, the beef kabab and chicken shawarma has main dishes and the vanilla ice cream with Middle Eastern cotton candy and kunafa for dessert. The beef kabab and chicken shawarma were good, but the highlights were the appetizers. If only because I’ve never had either potato borak and soujek before, they were my favorites of the night. The sausages and sauce of the soujek was flavorful with a nice shot of spice. The potato borak has a nice crispy wrapper and soft and yummy filling. I also enjoyed trying kunafa for that fist time. It was nice to find a Middle Eastern restaurant in Lincoln Park doing more that just kababs. Fourth, the service was very good. My waitress was friendly, listened to me and brought out the food quickly. In sum, this is a must visit restaurant in Lincoln Park."
