Anor 1985 Restaurant

"Chicago doesn't have very many Central Asian restaurants, and Anor is a noteworthy addition to the scene. This casual Uzbek spot has great starters, like a crispy fried eggplant salad with sweet chili sauce or their peppery beef manty. Follow those up with some lagman or kabobs, and make sure to throw in some honey cake for dessert. Since there are usually plenty of open seats and Anor has large servings, coming with a group and sharing a bunch of dishes is the best strategy." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"With Anor in Lincoln Park, Chicago’s small (but mighty) collection of Central Asian restaurants continues to grow. And this casual Uzbek spot is a noteworthy addition. Their starters are fantastic, with dishes like fried eggplant salad drizzled with sweet chili sauce or their peppery beef manty. Make sure to follow up with some lagman or kabobs, and finish up with some honey cake for dessert. Anor has lots of open seating and fairly large servings, so showing up with a group and sharing a bunch of dishes is a great strategy (though everyone will probably want their own slice of honeycake)." - John Ringor
