Kal'ish

"Kalish is vegan, but you might not realize it by looking at the menu, or even by your first bite of the food. They’ve managed to create delicious plant-based versions of brunch favorites like pancakes, scrambles, and even chicken and waffles. Plus if you head next door, the same team is also serving up vegan Detroit-style pizza at Longacre, and vegan Jewish deli food at Sam and Gerties - that’s gotta be the highest concentration of vegan options outside of California. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"A welcoming, sunny spot on a leafy street in Uptown, Kā’lish specializes in hearty, scratch-made comfort foods that do not skimp on portions. The House Clucker, a juicy and crispy plant-based chicken patty on a soft bun, served with sauce (like barbecue or ranch), fixings and a choice of side, wins over omnis. Don’t forget a sweet treat from the in-house bakery." - Marla Rose

"An established diner offering vegan ice cream and sundaes." - Naomi Waxman

"Highland is a popular vendor among many Chicago restaurants... vegan diner Kal’ish in Uptown." - Naomi Waxman
