Chicago’s best Middle Eastern restaurants | Eater Chicago
"Yemeni food is different from other Middle Eastern cuisines, drawing on Ottoman stews and Indian spices while maintaining its own distinct dishes. Sheeba’s cooks were born in Yemen and make a point of bringing authentic flavors and cooking methods to Chicago, without any shortcuts. Go for the hearty, bubbling stews served in heavy clay bowls like saltah, a mix of root vegetables and meat–Yemen’s national dish. Or Mandi, a Yemeni-style rice, meat and spice dish. It all goes well with Mulawah, the outstanding tandoor bread that’s something like a tortilla meets paratha." - Rebecca Holland
