"Sifr is a “modern Middle Eastern” spot from the Indienne team, and the menu has a wide range of dishes, including blackened mushrooms in a peppery sauce and lamb kebab with tzatziki. The space looks like a lot of new restaurants these days (full of plants and playing tropical house), but it’s a lovely place to spend a few hours, and the service is attentive. Plus, Sifr's second floor is one of the bestrooftop viewsin the city." - Team Infatuation
"We love Sifr year-round for its "modern Middle Eastern" food. But the view from its second-floor, plant-filled rooftop makes it one of the best warm-weather spots in River North. The menu has a wide range of dishes, including chicken shawarma hummus, tiger prawns, and lamb shank with Persian pilaf." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"Sifr’s skyline view is ideal for airplane-mode afternoons involving spicy muhammara and sun exposure. The second-floor patio at this Middle Eastern spot overlooks a calm corner of River North, and is a great alternative to Chicago’s untz untz rooftops. It can get busy with locals in Crap Eyewear, but reservations are often available a day in advance." - nick allen, john ringor
"This Mediterranean restaurant comes from chef Sujan Sarkar, who also came up with the Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant Indienne has cooked around the world. Sifr takes up a corner block in River North for a unique view of the city. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Ashok Selvam
"Sifr is a “modern Middle Eastern and Mediterranean” spot from the Indienne team, and the menu has a wide range of great dishes, including blackened mushrooms in a peppery sauce and lamb kebab with tzatziki. The space looks like a lot of restaurants these days (full of plants and playing tropical house), but it’s a lovely place to spend a few hours, especially if it involves happy hour or some time on their rooftop." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru
