Best Central Asian Restaurants in Northfield

Went here for lunch with a colleague on Friday, 12/27. We were the only customers in the restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive and answered our questions. Borscht was very tasty with a nice balance of sweet and sour, with a good amount of cabbage. The lamb skewers were excellent. Nicely seasoned and very tender.

Ate here with friends and family. It’s new at this location and not very busy yet. My husband and I really enjoyed the food in northern Greece and Anatolia when we visited there last spring. This is described as central Asian food on their website and the meat stews on the menu were similar to dishes we had in those regions. There were a lot of menu choices including stroganoff and perogies. Large tables are good for groups. I would definitely go back. We went to a movie after and the location is convenient with lots of parking nearby.

Our night was so enjoyable, and it started with our server. He was personable, helpful and good humored. The cocktails are creative, I had the Japantown and loved it. Very original, very refreshing. We shared the garlic fried rice, brussels sprouts, fire chicken and steak kalbi. Every bit of it was delicious. Truly, could not have been happier with the experience.

Overall a great experience with our family of 5 plus a guest and third visit. The pulled noodles are not common even in Chicago so go for the Boso Lagman w/ beef. Dumplings and all appetizers are terrific and worth sampling. The Manty dumplings as an entree also very good and shareable. The Plov, chicken or beef, is great and very filling. We generally don’t get desert but the homemade honey cake which surprisingly wasn’t overly sweet was also great for sharing.

Amazing food and quick service. We had plov, soup and whoopie pie. Everything was really tasty and nice.
