- MMarcChicago / Illinois •16 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThe bass was excellent, and the Kofta was tasty. However, the humus was a disappointment—not better than what one can buy in a grocery store. The cauliflower/broccoli dish was a good surprise. Overall, the food was good, but not surprising. The place was full (on a Friday night) -- crowded and noisy. Service was slow.More infoEma - River NorthPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• River North (Chicago)•4.7
