Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Jefferson Park

Enjoyed the Chef’s Experience at El Five. The food and drinks were incredibly tasty. Our chef’s,Nick and Matt, made the evening really fun sharing surprise bites between our courses. And to top it off, the view is spectacular.

Amazing food and wonderful service, highly recommend making a reservation (we did based on a suggestion from a local friend) as it is on the smaller side. Drinks menu is also extensive and has a lot of creative options. Our family loved sharing appetizers (including a dip with pomegranate seeds!) and our teen loved her hibiscus & passion fruit mocktail as well. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food, too.

We made a last-minute reservation without doing much research, and I’m so glad we ended up here. We were greeted by the host/waiter/chef/owner, took a seat and discovered they have a single tasting menu with wine pairings if you’re inclined. Dinner went smoothly, with my wife asking for some accommodations to a couple of courses, which were no problem. Dessert was the highlight of an entirely enjoyable meal.
