Chicago’s first okonomiyaki restaurant, created by Chef Paul Virant, offers savory Japanese cabbage pancakes cooked on a griddle with customizable ingredients like octopus, shrimp and beef; made Hiroshima-style and Osaka-style. Honoring traditional techniques along with Virant’s own, Gaijin delivers a lively and interactive culinary experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicago has been lacking some new Greek places over the years but Avli River North changes all of that. Combining tradition with a contemporary twist, Avli’s menu features Gyros sandwiches, smoked taramosalata, tzaziki and saganaki.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pho is becoming more and more popular in Chicago with a new Pho spot seeming to pop up almost every weekend. One such restaurant is Phodega; they are serving pho ga and pho bo, along with other Asian snacks like fried chicken skins and Hainanese chicken rice.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Indian-fusion spot, located in Logan Square strays from a lot of the traditional Indian dishes you may expect to find at an Indian restaurant. The star of the show is the Butter Chicken Supreme, the Indian restaurant classic, butter chicken, served inside a calzone made with savory pastry dough. Other fusion favorites are the chile cheese naan, french fry manchurian, and palak pizza.<\/span><\/p>\n
