"What To Expect: Before 8pm, this massive Middle Eastern-themed clubstaurant in the West Loop is as sleepy as it is filled with Moorish decor. But at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, dinner comes with a side of belly dances and variety shows. An hour or two later, the multi-level main dining room turns into a dance party complete with strobe lights and a DJ. What’s Up With The Food: Expect decent mezze and huge kabob platters piled high with rice. The expensive cocktails are fine too, if a little watery. Verdict: Alhambra may belong in a grown-up version of Epcot, but it works well for big (and small) groups looking for dinner, entertainment, and some dancing all in one. " - veda kilaru, adrian kane
