Chicago’s Best Indian and Pakistani Restaurants - Eater Chicago

"In Wicker Park, Wazwan has given way to Lilac Tiger, a bar with some of its predecessor's menu such as a spicy fried chicken sandwich (known as the THC — tandoori honey chicken) and a beef burger with beef bacon (no pork here in a halal house) with a spicy cutlet. But the menu also brings spicy chicken nuggets, duck fried rice, and a multi-cultural pickle plate with Indian and Korean flavors. It’s from the same ownership that’s also added players from Arami and Kimski. The imagination carries over to the back where the crew serves a fantastic tasting menu. One of the core dishes is a season duck dish inspired by a centuries-old recipe that dates back to medieval times. The Coach House is reservation only, and one of the most remarkable expressions of Indian cuisine in America. They’ve just added wine pairings and have unveiled a new menu that celebrates the links between Mexico and India." - Ashok Selvam
