Faiza Chicago

At Faiza Uygur restaurant, the portions are huge and the food is delicious! The server spoke Turkish, which made me feel right at home. Great prices too.

Food was super tasty with big portions, and the tea was really nice. We tried both the honey cake and chocolate cake—both were sweet, but the honey cake was our favorite! Service was kind and helpful. They explained the meals to us, which we really appreciated. We came on a Sunday, so there was free street parking. The vibe inside was really nice—beautiful decor and cool art on the walls. We celebrated a birthday here and had a great time. Definitely planning to come back! It’s a great spot for groups, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. Thanks again—see you soon!

Update: A return to this great restaurant was rewarded with more awesome food. This time we had Lamb Kurak and Goulash. The portions are huge, so bring a container for leftovers. Also, as noted in another review, give the wait person cash as they don't receive a tip if you pay by credit card. We had the Fried Boso Lagman and Chicken Roaster. I hope I named them correctly. Anyway, both dishes were out of this world good! I have to go back to try the Lamb Kurdak. It looks soooo yummy! This is an outstanding choice for Kyrgyz food.

Food is delicious and I’ve visited many times but no matter how many times I try to explain they always make the steak well done. I’ve asked for medium, medium rare, even rare. It’s always well done. Asked to speak to the chef and he didn’t speak a word of English. I just don’t understand why the waiters even bother asking me how I want my steak cooked if it’s always going to be well done.

Very tasty food and exceptional service. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want an unforgettable experience!

I visit this restaurant often with family and friends, and must say their manty (steamed dumplings) and boso laghman are great. Serving sizes are enough for 2 people and food is always served hot and fresh. Manty is always served steaming hot, and is very juicy. Interior design is very interesting, with all kinds of decorations from Central Asia. I just hope their customer service gets better, waiters are always very unwelcoming and don't have basic etiquette rules, which is upsetting. I hope they improve on that.

A few weeks ago, when I visited your restaurant, we ordered a spicy salad with peppers. It was a large portion and incredibly delicious. That’s why I decided to order it again today for takeout. However, when I got home and tried it, I was quite surprised — the salad was not what I expected, and the portion was much smaller. I’ve noticed that takeout portions are often smaller and the taste is not the same as when dining in. I’m not sure why this happens, but I wanted to share my honest feedback, as I was really disappointed this time. I truly enjoy your food and hope this can be improved in the future.

Best food in Chicago! Lamb soup, Manti, beef was all amazing I can’t wait to go back!
