Shokran Moroccan Restaurant

This place definitely lived up to all the hype!Warm, wonderful ambiance for a group! They even gave us a private little area on a not too busy Saturday night! The bastilla was definitely a unique must-get item. Everything we got was so tender and well-cooked. The complimentary pita, sauce, and olives were good too. Friendly service and reasonable prices, especially since it's BYOB.CASH ONLY, there is an ATM there.

This was my first time trying out Morrocan cuisine. It had very good reviews. The inside was very beautiful. They had an adequate amount of seating. You can find street parking nearby. Service was good. Prices were standard for being in Chicago. Portion sizes were sufficient for two people. We ordered lamb fez and merguez. They were equally very tasty and filling. Lamb fez has a big piece of lamb in a stew with prunes, cinnamon, almonds, and honey. Hard boiled eggs are served with it. The lamb was cooked well, meat was very tender and juicy.Merguez is a dish with homemade sausage stuffed with ground lamb and beef. They're on top of couscous and vegetables. Sausage was bursting with flavor. Lamb and beef is such a great combination.

I love love Moroccan food. Veggie platter, Lamb Marrakech, mixed grill, chicken Casablanca. Mint tea!!! Ahhhhhh

Our Moroccan server was great! Very polite, funny and engaged, perhaps he was the owner or family? It was clear he really cared about his food and sharing it with us, educating us, and welcoming us. The decor is nice, we sat in a back room that had fabrics hanging from the ceiling that made it very cozy.Finally, the food was outstanding! I had lamb fez and the table shared a chicken bastilla. Both were very interesting as well as delicious! I will be back very soon with my partner who I know will love it!

Fantastic, cozy restaurant a bit hidden east of the Kennedy. Amazing food, amazing service! Everything we had was delicious! The veggie sampler platter, the Sweet Chicken over Couscous, and the Chicken couscous was amazing! Finished up with their signature sweet mint tea which hit the spot. Give this place a try, you will not regret it! Thank you for the good food and the amazing hospitality. We will be back soon!Note that this is a BYOB, cash only restaurant. They do have an ATM on premise, just in case.

Wonderful tasty food delivered directly to the hotel. Unfortunately, I still had to get some work done for next day's presentation - hence having to drop plans to get out for dinner. I ordered an Uber Eat takeout from Shokran Moroccan - and I was not disappointed. Loved the Sweet Lamb Couscous which was simply wonderful all around (and provided a help line (see below*). The portion was very generous and the pita bread cold probably have been skipped. And I have to admit that I went back to nibble a bit on the remaining couscous as I continued to work...Beyond that, the Shrimp with lots of garlic in spiced tomato-chili pepper sauce was delicious. And last, the Shokran Salad - a mixture of greens, apples, raisins, walnuts and a (a bit sparse) dressing - was very refreshing and provided the "healthy balance".*PS: Even though I requested utensils, there were none provided. Yes, I could have requested some from the hotel, but by the time the food would have been cold. Hence, I had to use the bones of the lamb to serve as spoon. Fortunately, the meet was immediately coming off the bone such that it became a reasonable utensil - so long as nobody watched!!!!!!

Cash is king and worth it. Friendly people great food and servers. Food fresh and tasty.

Great little neighborhood restaurant, delicious lamb dishes from tagines to couscous. Very reasonably priced, but cash only (ATM there) and BYOB. Pleasant and friendly service.

Great service. Hot fresh delicious food. Amazing flavors and nice people. Cash only. Delicious tea, too.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who is not Caucasian. I was with a party of three coworkers per a recommendation from a patient of ours to try this establishment, and we were all highly disappointed and treated very poorly by the manager/waiter. He was racial bias and very rude from the moment we entered the door and mentioned we had a reservation, we were sat in a corner in a back room, took about 15 minutes or so to be acknowledged after being sat down. When I got his attention to place the order, he replied in an angry and condensing manner. The evening got worse from there. He slammed the plates on the table, didn't come to check on our table throughout the dinner, and made fun of my coworker for having mispronounced the name of a dish. On the other hand Caucasian customers seemed to get special attention and overall treatment by this "manager." The food was mediocre and not worth the hype. This was a horrible experience, but we will never waste our hard earned money at this establishment ever again!
