    This was a great ethnic restaurant. Excellent pierogi and borscht. Our waitress was the best: friendly, efficient and responsive to our requests. Great value for home cooking.

    Jibek Jolu (Khygyz for "Silk Road") is an outstanding restaurant. Central Asian cuisine is rare in Chicago, making Jibek Jolu a unique local treasure. The food is delicious, well-prepared, and made with the freshest ingredients. It's tasty and comforting. The vibe is casual, the decor is a colorful nod to the artistry of Khygystan, and the service is friendly and attentive. Plus, it's a BYOB, which is always a big plus. Treat yourself to this gem of a north-side dining establishment.

    This was my first introduction to Kyrzyg cuisine. I was not disappointed. I had kompot (beverage), Lepeshka (bread), and Plov Lamb (rice with lamb dish). The food and beverage was delicious. Service was great too.

    First time trying these foods. I went with a friend who is familiar with this cuisine and I sampled a variety of the dishes. It was phenomenally delicious! What a wonderful experience that I had here! The wait person was extremely helpful and helped me to understand my choices and select. I had leftovers so that I will continue to enjoy the food! I will definitely be returning here.

    We arrived just before 730 for our reservation and were seated shortly thereafter. Proceed to wait for 30 minutes without any acknowledgement from the staff. No water, no menus, nothing. It was as if we didn’t exist. I understand they were busy, but the restaurant has ten tables and neither of the servers even looked in our direction. Other tables received multiple dishes, drinks and refills in the time we were waiting. Ended up walking out and going to another restaurant at 8. Not sure I’ve ever experienced that before. So disappointing because we were really excited to try it and had only heard good things.
