Absolutely delicious Uyghur food, which included incredible meat pie (goosh naan - spelled differently in the menu), hand-pulled noodles, dumplings, and fruit tea. Located in the middle bustling areas on Devon, it is a wonderful place for dinner. Highly recommended.
The people working there are so nice and friendly. The young girl helping with a smile on her face. You feel welcomed there❤️. The food is amazing, I was giving it a try and I am sure going back to try more of their foods????????❤️
I enjoyed the food????????. Definitely I highly recommend you try it.
Delicious food! Very unique items, a mix of Chinese, Turkish, and Central Asian influence make for a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend the orange tea, so great! My family also really enjoyed several other dishes that I don't remember the name of but I took a few pictures! The service was extremely friendly, the staff is really earnest in their desire to share their rich cultural heritage. Relaxed atmosphere, we felt very welcome. An important addition to Chicago's culinary scene. I will be returning with friends for sure!
During Ramadan, at Iftar, we had dinner and were very grateful for their complimentary fruit assortment and water. I highly recommend trying their lagmans.
Just a wonderful dinning experience. I’ve been a fan of Uyghur cuisine for a long time and had the privilege of enjoying it in several countries, but this is one of the best places I’ve had the cuisine. I would say this place is a must visit for anyone that finds themselves in the Rogers Park/West Ridge area, as well as for anyone who hasn’t been introduced to Uyghur food yet. They also had a nice selection of foods from Central Asian and Eastern Europe such as Varenyky (Ukrainian Dumplings), that said the Laghman is definitely the way to go.
The food is amazing. Host is super nice. The cuisine is actually ethnic. Would recommend Gesh Naan and Kazan Kebab and Samsy.
Cafe Alif is a hole in the wall restaurant that serves amazing authentic central Asian food! To start, the ambiance was nice and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly! The food did not take long to get out and was hot when it arrived, which is always a good sign. All items were amazing: please look at the picture captions for more details on what I ordered.
Today I ordered Kazan Kebab, it was delicious????, Cafe Alif doing their job really good, they cook every dish so tasty????, Keep up the great work!
