Chicago’s Best Halal Fried Chicken & Tacos

min song

this is an insane gem and i was suprised there wasn’t a line out of the door saturday night. we came here for the first time after seeing videos on instagram and tiktok and the food was no joke. we had all three agua frescas (peach paradise, hibiscus kool aid, and strawberry cucumber lemonade) all super refreshing. ... our favorite was the peach paradise not too sweet. we also got the jerk cauliflower tacos which were spicy and seasoned soo well. the fried wings that came with fries and a hot biscuit with chipotle honey butter. the biscuit is insane. so fluffy and the chipotle butter paired perfectly. they sell take&bake biscuits and we’ll definitely be getting them next time. we also got the lamb chopped cheese which was the stand out and what convinced us to make the visit in the first place. we lastly got the beef empanadas which had generous beef and cheese filling just ooooozing omg. this is officially our favorite new spot and we will 100% be coming back. and big big thanks to chef ozi and his hospitality who was working the front they have a seriously special operation going on here🙇 Read More

We wanted to grab something quick that was not a fast food restaurant. This was a fantastic find! Unique menu with Halal options. Loved the hip hop music, I heard Tribe Called Quest and was loving that! We were going to take it to go, but chose to sit outside. Really friendly staff, has a kiosk to place your order ... also. Great food and vibe! Definitely recommend and I plan on going back. Read More

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I can’t stop thinking about the lamb tacos and spicy empanadas—absolutely phenomenal! The lamb tacos were perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and served in warm, soft tortillas that held all the delicious juices without falling apart. Every bite was packed with bold ... flavor, balanced beautifully with fresh toppings and a hint of lime.The spicy empanadas were another standout. Golden, crispy on the outside with a rich, savory filling that had just the right amount of heat to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming them. Paired with their house-made dipping sauce, they were simply irresistible.To top it all off, the service was top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server made great recommendations and ensured everything came out quickly and just right.Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving flavorful food and a warm dining experience. Will definitely be coming back! Read More

I was in the neighborhood since my son was taking a cooking class at the nearby Schoolhouse Kitchen. My son and I decided to stop in Migos and were so glad we gave it a try. I ordered the cauliflower tacos and my son ordered the chicken wings. The wings came with a side of fries and a biscuit. He loved everything. The ... biscuit was “heavy, crispy, and fluffy inside.” The chicken was “juicy and had good flavor.” I’m a sucker for cauliflower so I was excited to try them in tacos. They didn’t disappoint. They had a variety of foods that we want to try so we’ll definitely be back. Read More

I decided to try the lamb tacos and the lamb cheesesteak, and both dishes blew me away. The lamb tacos were an absolute standout. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy, paired with fresh, flavorful toppings that complemented the lamb beautifully. The lamb cheesesteak was equally impressive. The lamb was ... cooked to perfection, and the combination of melted cheese, sautéed onions, and peppers created a rich, savory flavor that was totally addictive. The sandwich had the perfect ratio of meat to toppings, and the bread was fresh and held up well to the filling. Service was also top-notch. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and the atmosphere was casual but inviting. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend this place if you’re a fan of bold flavors and unique takes on classic dishes! Read More

The food is 10/10, but also, the customer service is above and beyond! We absolutely loved their Beef Barbacoa tacos, Elotes, Biscuit, and Fried Chicken Torta. The beef barbacoa was just beyond tender and melt-in-your-mouth and their elotes had a nice sweetnees not usually found in traditional elotes. Don’t skip the ... cookies by pastry chef, Renata; the brownie cookie had a wonderful balance of dark chocolate flavor and brownie texture. It was a great ending to the meal! One thing I will say is the lamb smashburger did have a strong gamey smell to it, which does not usually bother me, but coming from a culture where having only a little gamey smell = better prep, the strong smell put me off a little. The staff and owners are also the sweetest people, and such a valuable addition to the neighborhood. I hope this business thrives and is around for many more years!! We will definitely be coming back! Read More

OMG, Y'all!! This is one of the BEST, off the beaten path restaurants in Chicago! We drove ALL the way up from Hyde Park and really didn't know what to expect. The space, though super small, is eclectic, with some very cool decor. The ambience and vibe are on point. Cool music playing as well. The customer service ... is IMPECCABLE! The food is INCREDIBLE!! We're GREEDY, so, we ordered the guacamole, the elotes, the fried chicken torta, fried chicken strips, lamb tacos and beef barbacoa tacos. The portions were HUGE and all entrées came with sides of either fries, which were AMAZING, or beans and rice that were quite tasty. The chicken strips came with a honey butter Biscuit that will make you slap your Mama! Not knowing how much food was headed our way, we had the audacity to order the hot donuts as well. They are more along the lines of huge beignets and were hot and scrumptious! This place is a GEM and I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone !! We will DEFINITELY be back!!! Read More
