“What an amazing experience! The owner is extremely hospitable and her hands are blessed. Our meal was absolutely delicious. Every bite was definitely prepared with love. A clean atmosphere with beautiful decor. If you are in Chicago or passing through make sure to make time for MICHUU!”
“Amazing food! It’s homemade from scratch, it’s fresh and yummy. Customer service is great as well, you will be greeted by a lovely couple, who are the cooks. Prices are also great and they have great vegetarian options.”
“This was a treat to myself. I came alone and it was absolutely worth it. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful and authentic. I had the vegan platter. It was very filling and the sambusas were Super DELICIOUS! I travelled far to get here and I can’t wait to come back. Also if you’re coming here this isn’t a “fast food” joint, so expect to relax, take your time have patience and await an amazing meal. I truly enjoyed it. Ohhh and the coffee is such a treat after your meal.”
“Had the most delicious meal at Michuu tonight! Highly recommend the vegetarian platter and chicken sambusas (pictured). Gomen and kik alicha are my usual favorites and Michuu did not disappoint! Nice family style dining space and welcoming atmosphere 💕”
“Excellent home cooked dinner!! The veggie platter and coffee were both amazing and the service was kind and easy. I highly recommend Michuu and hope to be back soon.”
“Warm and welcoming atmosphere. The sambusa is crispy and a great appetizer. The veggie platter is a must-order and pairs perfectly with extra protein options like key wot and yebeg tibs. Ethiopian coffee is freshly toasted from Ethiopian beans and thoughtfully served in an elegant container, with burning frankincense resin and popcorn on the side. Highly recommend!”
“One of the best Ethiopian restaurants I have been to in a long time. As an Ethiopian, the place reminds me of home. Amazing food all the way around and great service. Kitfo, doro wot, and shiro went favorite. The veggies were a perfect combination to bring the dish together. Somewhere I’d be happy to come back to again.”
“Amazing meal, friendly staff, and excellent tea compliments of the house. Can’t wait to come back.”
