Coach House by Zubair Mohajir

Chicago's 12 Best New Restaurants Of 2022 - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Two courses into our meal at The Coach House and we were already scheming to book our next ticket. The Coach House (which, yes, is in a 100-year-old coach house) is a 25-seat tasting-menu spot in Wicker Park that serves an incredible $150, eight-course South Asian meal. This means dishes like momos stuffed with crab kulambu in a spicy black garlic sauce, and chewy fara dumplings swimming in clarified beet butter. Every dish has a story that the server will share along the way (the duck numidian was inspired from a cookbook titled “Recipes From Medieval Islam,” for instance). And while this place is expensive, it’s also BYOB, so the only surprise when you get the bill is that there’s no surprise. Cause you already paid." - adrian kane, john ringor
