Majani Food Emporium Inc

Listen...There's nothing like a good "home cooked" meal. The fact that I had so many gluten-free options to choose from is a HUGE plus. Don't sleep on the BBQ cauliflower. 😋 I wish I had placed a 2nd order to eat on the airplane. The ginger lemonade has a HEALTHY dose of ginger in it and it might put a little hair on your chest. Just a little. The sorrel is sooo refreshing. The red beans...❤️ Got me cooking some right now. The sweet potatoes were perfectly sweet with just the right amount of spice. The cornbread tastes like dressing. Which I think is clever. Knowing that he sources produce from local farmers is a big win. The service is top notch. The employees are very nice and accommodating. Knowing Tsadakeeyah was preparing my food just warmed my heart. My new favorite restaurant. I'll be back.

I finally got the opportunity to order from this vegan cuisine during a break in biking along the Chicago Lakefront Trail (restaurant is 2 blocks away from 0 mile marker trail). The staff are friendly and kind. One staff tried to fingerspelling in sign language. The food offers diverse cuisine as a comfort soul food. First, appetizer, I recommend the black eye peas fritter with plum habanero or the flavourful BBQ sauce. I loved the crab cake wrap, which is made of soft tofu coated with southern spices with veggies and wrapped in a really good gluten free wrap. We selected homemade pita gryo veggie with the flavorful thin sliced tofu "steak" and housemade tzatziki sauce. I would've liked all the filling inside the gyro or on the side for me to fill inside gyro instead of on top. Also more tzatziki for flavor. This includes side of delicious baked sweet potatoes wedges with both entree, which is a must! Also, they have amazing fresh juices full of veggies and fruits that you don't see often such as red cabbage and kiwi. Lastly, a small treat, sweet potato cookie! It is tasty and moist. So, if you want to order, you need to do it online because they are super busy with limited staff and no sit-down (COVID-19 rules). If you show up to order, expect a wait of almost one hour. Because it is really popular!
