“Es un patio de comida bastante variado, tienen un lugar donde venden donnas, otro donde venden comida coreana, japonesa, y otros de comida latina. personalmente probé un platillo de comida indú qué tenía 3 tipos de proteínas diferentes, verduras y salsas, estuvo muy sabroso y delicioso, también probé un batido de mango y yogurt riquísimo.”
“A great Food Plaza in the artistic heart of Chicago. There are many good options with relatively affordable prices. The architecture is rather simple but effective. I would put more flowers or color to make it an even more warm environment. The restrooms are only accessible through a code that is included in your receipt. So, keep it with you until the end. Also, there is free fresh water with small cups next (but not super close) to the restrooms. The second floor has a good sight of the place. There also are spaces with tables for groups of five or more. These rooms have power outlets but none of them seemed to be working. I had to ask one of the vendors to allow me to charge my phone in their spot. She was very kind to allow me to do so.”
“Stopped here for a cocktail before catching MJ The Musical at James M Nederlander Theatre. Signs posted closing time at 8pm, including a sign above the bar area, so didn't pay attention to Google Maps here to see the actual closing time was 7pm instead. Espresso Martini was ok, a bit orange-y in flavor in my opinion.”
“Worst Indian food I've ever had. Waste of $20. Tikka masala sauce is sour and flavorless, the sourness fights the spiciness to override your taste buds. Spring onions and peppers randomly thrown in with rice (never seen that in Indian food before). Classic lemonade was really seltzer water with a dash on lemon flavoring. Even the Naan was a not the consistency it should be it resembled a pita bread instead. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money here, find somewhere else.”
“I specifically went to the J. Spice and it was absolutely delicious! Got the creole jambalaya and the side of Mac and cheese and it was an amazing flavor bomb of good eats - and good helping too that I’m taking the rest home to finish. Definitely support and get your good eats there.”
“Love this place it’s delicious fresh and also has local vendors. Great for lunch or when in break!”
“Bhoomi is delicious- so much flavor - yeah, it’s not traditional Indian- it’s not meant to be, it’s a fusion fast food concept. Their “hamburger” made with lamb, spices and avocado- is the best I have ever had. Check it out!”
