Ragadan

Ragadan? More like Raga-dank! Came for the burger, but would actually come back for the Falafel 🧆. The pocket was loaded and flavors were unique from anything else you’ll find in the city. Very well might be the best falafel I’ve tried. Burger was juicy, melty and certainly high quality, but just a bit rich for my liking. Small counter service spot with a handful of sears inside. Could dine in for small groups. Food came out real quick!

For the last two years since I first stepped into Ragadan, it has been the #1 place I recommend to people looking for incredible (perhaps underrated / hidden gem) restaurants in Chicago. I have worked my way through most of the menu and everything is so fresh, flavorful, and the best in its category. From the burgers, falafel, salads, and milkshakes... They're literally all the best you'll find of any of those things in the city. Recommendations: falafel in any form, Ragadan salad, soups, and the burgers are all must tries ASAP. The milkshakes are the best I've had in my adult life and are thick and decadent with unique flavors (e.g. pistachio, baklava). Since it's located on Broadway close to the Salvation Army, I like to sometimes combine the two as a treat :) 11/10 stars!

Had the Oklahoma onion burger. Heard about them on Food network. It was very good. The onion rings they put I believe some Turkish seasoning on and they were tasty. Also the Baklava was fresh and good. The owner was very nice as well. The other stuff looked good too👍🏼

It was a long day at work so I decided to stop by Ragadan and I can easily say this is one of my favorite spots in the city. I love it so much it felt like it was time to sit down and sing the praises of a place that means so much to me. The food is soo good, I swear I can taste the love it in it! Today I had the Patty Melt X Ka'ak which bold, flavorful and comforting in a way that only Ragadan can do it and french fries are crispy warm and always on point. The service is also warm in a subtle way that you feel taken care of but not in a overbearing way. I am seriously so grateful for this spot and all that Dan and his team has brought to Uptown. Thank you all for what you do. Seriously much appreciated. 💖💖

We loved their stuffed falafel pocket and chicken kaak sandwich! Delicious and savory. Good price. This place is a neighborhood gem
