Persian stews and rice-focused plates delivered from a low-key South Loop ghost kitchen.
Notable Picks
8.3
Khatoon Cuisine focuses on homestyle Persian cooking—stews, rice dishes, and classic appetizers—run out of the South Loop’s Wabash ghost-kitchen hub. Guests lean on delivery or counter pickup for richly seasoned ghormeh sabzi, fesenjoon, and smaller sampler portions that feel more like a home-cooked table than standard takeout.
Must-Try Dishes:
Ghormeh Sabzi, Fesenjoon, Kashke Bademjoon
What makes it special: Persian stews and rice-focused plates delivered from a low-key South Loop ghost kitchen.
8.0
Turkitch Express brings Turkish street-food flavors—doner plates, kofte sandwiches, and patso-style loaded fries—to the South Loop’s Wabash delivery hub. It’s a fast-casual halal option where you build a quick meal around chargrilled kebabs or doner over rice without leaving the neighborhood.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Doner Wrap - Turkish Style, Istanbul Street Kofte Kebab Sandwich, Beef Doner Plate
What makes it special: Halal Turkish street food with strong flavor focus from a modern ghost kitchen.
