"Arzan Cafe is just steps away from the Kimball Brown Line, which makes it an extremely convenient place for commuters to grab a meal. But even if you’re allergic to the CTA, their tasty Central Asian food is worth checking out. The long menu has plenty of great starters like manty filled with pumpkin or tandoor samsa filled with savory beef and onions. For larger entrees, the Uyghur dish achuu et with spicy beef, vegetables and rice is excellent, and their boso lagman has plenty of slurpable, saucy noodles. Plus, it’s open until midnight every day." - john ringor, adrian kane
