Serai Cafe & Deli

This cafe is so good! I’ve been waiting to try a halal deli cafe! The chicken pesto panini was so delicious 🤤 along with the signature sub! We tried three different sandwiches, all were flavorful! The mango refresher was one of my favorites. It’s almost like a mango sparkling drink—-really went well with the food! Definitely my new fav sandwich spot in town!

All the food was amazing! Everything has a unique flavor profile and I will definitely be coming back! Mango refresher- is really good for sweet drink lovers Peach dragon - fruit refresher is fantastic if you like mildly sweet drinks! Chicken panini - the pesto hits!! Turkey panini - the most flavorful turkey cuts i’ve ever had!! Signature sub - great for meat lovers, packed with protein! Serai Burger - the buns are heavenly! The sauce complements it Fully halal, they also have vegetarian options!

I had the absolute best experience at Serai Cafe. It’s officially my new favorite spot!!! The service was top notch, and everything I tried was absolutely delicious 😋 Here’s what I tried 👇🏻 🍔 The Thinker Serai Burger 🥪 Reuben Sandwich 🥪 Turkey Pesto Panini 🥪 Chicken Pesto Panini 🥪 Caprese Panini (Veggie) ☕️ Iced Macchiato 🌸 Lavender Mint Mocktail 🥭 Mango Refresher Every item was bursting with flavor. You can truly taste the freshness and quality in every bite. I honestly loved all of their food items and oh my gosh don’t get me started on their drinks. The lavendar mint mocktail is just the best mocktail I’ve ever had! I really loved their iced macchiato too. This spot is definitely a must visit for anyone in or visiting Chicago and the best part is that it’s halal!!

I don't usually write reviews but the sandwiches and drinks were SO GOOD that I craved them for days after! Really delicious AND HALAL which is hard to find around here. The pastrami sub was the most delicious sub I have had ever. The amount of meat was generous and the flavor was unique to say the least. Love the addition of arugula. You won't be disappointed with Serai,

The best burger in the neighborhood!! Seriously delicious, juicy without being greasy or sloppy, perfect condiments. Even the bun was great. We also ordered the pastrami sandwich (only half in the photo because my husband ate the other half before I got my pic!), which had a great sauce and bread, too. Everything was really fresh. The drinks were also really tasty. I had the fall flavored one and my husband had the lavender mint. While I loved mine, I *have* to go back for another lavender mint.
