Khatoon Cuisine | Persian & Mediterranean Halal Food — a South Loop middle eastern find that regulars keep close. The food tastes like it should, with no compromises. Friendly team that sets the tone. Amin Amiri: "The Dolmeh were tender and savory, each bite a perfect bite-sized flavor explosion"

“The food was excellent — we ordered three stews (Gheimeh, Ghormeh, and Fesenjoon), and each one was flavorful, well-prepared, and nicely packaged”
Didn’t have their food because google maps says they are open until 930 pm on a Sunday but I drive here at 5pm and they are closed.

“We recently tried Khatoon Cuisine for takeout and had a great experience.”
We recently tried Khatoon Cuisine for takeout and had a great experience. The food was excellent — we ordered three stews (Gheimeh, Ghormeh, and Fesenjoon), and each one was flavorful, well-prepared, and nicely packaged. You can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking. The ordering process was smooth. I placed the order through their website and followed up with the restaurant directly — they were responsive and helpful. The pickup is fully automated in a shared takeout facility with multiple restaurants. There’s no seating area — it’s strictly for pickup, and we saw a steady flow of people and Uber/DoorDash drivers coming and going. Once your order is ready, it gets placed in a secure cabinet for easy self-pickup. The owner’s daughter handed me the order and was very pleasant. I learned they ran a home kitchen for years before launching this takeout spot about 2.5 months ago. It’s a smart setup and a great way to bring homemade Persian food to more people. Overall, everything from service to flavor to presentation was top-notch. I’ll definitely be ordering from them more often.

It was great! It took like 15 minutes to get ready, and the quality compared to the price was really good. P.s: There is no place to sit, but there is a park (south commons) so close that you can go there.

“I’m here to rave about how authentic and delicious everything tasted.”
I’m here to rave about how authentic and delicious everything tasted. We had guests over unfamiliar with our incredible Persian cuisine, and everyone was impressed. There were requests for left overs and we couldn’t be more proud. I’m so glad to this place open in the area. Now we have a place to get my son Ghormehsabzi and gheymeh anytime he wants.

“Amazing, authentic Persian food.”
Amazing, authentic Persian food. This is arguably the best Persian food you will find outside of Iran. A family-owned business, they provide personal and warm service. Highly recommend you try them to experience true Persian cuisine.

“The food was so delicious.”
The food was so delicious! We tried kabob tahcheen, Akbar joujeh, and shami pook. They were all amazing. It's only take out, and I can't wait to try other food that they have.

We were a group of 7 adults plus kids, so we ordered about about half of their menu items. Every single item was delish/fresh/flavorful and everyone liked everything they tried. Such a gem in Chicago.

“This is the most authentic and best Persian or Iranian food you will find in Chicago.”
This is the most authentic and best Persian or Iranian food you will find in Chicago. Even better than any Persian food in LA. The food and preparation is so authentic and delicious, it is like a home cooked meal with so much love. Don’t sleep on this gem! We had the ghormeh sabzi tachin, zereshk polo, and dolmeh. All excellent. And they feature foods that are not so common in Persian restaurants in the US. The dolmeh is a proper dolmeh that you know is a family recipe and not from a can or jar. Simply amazing quality.
