Sorry Mommy

Sorry Mommy is a fantastic culinary journey to Central Asian Cuisine. They serve all certified Zabiha halal meats. Bursts of fresh and wholesome inviting flavors in every dish they make! Above and beyond our expectations. Malina took our carryout order and even offered us water while we waited for our carryout. We started with the Samsy (handmade beef & chicken meat pockets) that were flaky, filled generously and a decent size. The La Zi Ji was a nicely cooked chicken dish with dried Sichuan red peppers that were a little sweet and not at all hot. We loved the chewiness of the Sichuan pepper pieces that accented the flavor of this unique dish. This was one of those dishes you experience once in a lifetime and never forget it! I had a side order of in house hand pulled noodles which were light and complimented the chicken entree. We also ordered the lamb/beef Lulya kabab that was moist, flavorful and pretty decent size. Accompaniments of red sauce and thinly sliced purple, white onions went perfect with everything. This meal was so delicious and enjoyable. We can't wait to go back and try their soups, bread and other original dishes. Exceptional service, beautifully decorated dining rooms, plenty of outside covered dining and easy parking.

Overprice and food wasn't up to expectations Quantity was small portions Servers were not very friendly.

Sorry Mommy is a halal restaurant specializing in Central Asian cuisine in Rolling Meadows. It was our first time being here, so we weren't sure what to expect. We started with the Kompot - a sweet juice made with dried fruits. It was delicious. And we also ordered the Beef Samsa, a beef pastry, which we also really enjoyed. For main courses I went with the Boso Lagman - which is a beef dish served with vegetables and hand pulled noodles This was by far my favorite dish we had here. It also came with spice on the side, which I used sparingly. You don't need much of the spice - the dish itself has a ton of flavor. My girlfriend got the handmade dumplings called Manty. These were beef filled, and unique but not what I was used to with a dumpling. I would try something different the next time. Service was attentive and the inside of the restaurant including the bathroom was clean. I will definitely be back for seconds at Sorry Mommy. 5 stars from me!

We ordered to-go, but the inside looks super fun and like there's a lot of space that would fit big groups (like if you want to go somewhere for a big family dinner). They were very kind and took our order over the phone before they were technically open, so that our food would be ready when they opened. It did take a bit for it to still be cooked, but they kept reassuring us it would be very, very fresh haha. We were too hungry by the time we got home to remember to document our order, but we liked everything. We got the plov, lamb kebab, samsy and honey cake. Only thing is the portions are kind of small for the price. But it is Halal--so take that into consideration. Friends, everything was so flavorful, but even if it wasn't I would come back for the honey cake alone! It's that good. It isn't overly sweet, and it's not a cake that's supposed to be. If you haven't had it before, it's like a thinly layered graham cracker cake that becomes this wonderful texture by the filling.

This is the new halal restaurant in Rolling Meadows. Dined here for the first time and had a wonderful dining experience. Got to try central Asian cuisine, focusing on the food from Kyrgyzstan. The menu offers a nice range of options to choose from .We ordered the - Mediterranean Salad Samsy, Manty, Boso Lagman, Plov, Beef Kabob, Fruit Tea, and Eastern style cakes . Each of dishes were freshly prepared and tasted great. The portion sizes are good and can be shared. My favorites were the beef kabob, bozo lagman, and Samsy. The service is also good. Our server took the time to explain the dishes to us and make good recommendations. It's a cozy and inviting atmosphere at the restaurant. Check it out, it's a must try.

This was my second trip to Sorry Mommy and both times the food was delicious and the service very attentive. My mother is from the area and enjoyed the food and ambiance. We ordered the Boso Lagman and the noodles were perfectly chewy, the beef tender. The sauce was so flavorful! The real stand out was the Da Pan Ji. The flavor was incredible and just the right amount of "heat" from the peppers. The chicken was succulent. The flat noodles so good. Huge portion, enough for two! We shared a pot of black tea to round out the meal. There are places that claim to be authentic but this place is the real deal!

I found Sorry Mommy searching here on yelp! It said it was a Thai food restaurant and that's what we had a taste for, and we were in for a surprise...Upon arrival, you noticed that the decor may have been originally a Mexican restaurant but it just suits this restaurant so well when you meet the owner and his staff and get a feel for the other customers -- Asian, Eastern European, East Indian. It's a down-to-earth, authentic food and staff, pleasant experience.Upon first look at the menu, we realized there were only perhaps three Thai items. The rest were... kind of middleeastern, kind of mediterranean, kind of asian, kind of... we couldn't figure it out but we were excited! After a roundabout conversation with the owner who was also our server, I finally asked straight out and he said they're from Central Asia and I pushed a little more and... Kyrgyzstan!!! We were even more excited and intrigued to try his recommended items.Sorry Mommy salad -- mixed greens, blueberries, dried cranberries, walnuts, avocado, tomato -- fresh, mega-healthy, delicious! This is either a meal in and of itself or perfect for two or more people.Tom Yam -- a slightly spicy fish soup. I think it had coconut milk in it. It had salmon, shrimp, some other Seafood, as well as I think perhaps peppercorn, lemongrass, and..? It was wonderful! We really enjoyed it! Again, this was either a full meal or good for two people or more. To be sure, read the ingredients on their menu posted here in yelp.Chicken kebab -- just as the owner told us, this was going to be very juicy and flavorful, and it was! One skewer of meat, a little bit of sweet pepper, red onion, and white, and a small boat of what seemed like a tomato, pepper, onion sauce. This was just a single skewer and the price was appropriate, but perhaps a full meal would be better as a double portion.As Kyrgyzstan has many Muslims, it's a halal restaurant. As such, no alcohol, but that was okay by us. In fact, at the owner's recommendation, we had a pot of homemade fruit tea and it was absolutely bright, full of flavor, almost honey like, and delicious. It came in a glass decanter and you could just see the flavor dying to come out. Here's where I feel like a jerk- - the owner shared the word three or four times with us how to say teacup and I have forgotten yet again. We were full, and quite content, by the end of dinner and wonderful conversation in a quiet environment with a happy humdrum in the background. They offered us dessert, and we thought about it, and thought about it, and decided to go with the kyrgystan version of honey cake. It was a layered cake, with definitely the taste of honey, perhaps some cinnamon and a little bit of maybe Farina, and something that may have been a fluffy cream cheese in there as well. Whatever it was, it had a unique, special flavor that we had never had before, and it was wonderful!Prices here are very reasonable especially for what you get -- homemade, large portions, knowledgeable staff, wonderfully friendly and engaging and helpful staff, and a clean and peaceful restaurant.We are definitely returning for another visit for the friendly and comfortable environment and to try yet some different items. What a wonderful cultural experience, something new, and memorable.

Our first time at a Central Asian restaurant and it's awesome how many halal and diverse options are opening up in Chicago! The ambiance of the restaurant is cute and we were immediately seated without a reservation. A fair warning that the restaurant has lots of vents almost everywhere you sit and we were cold. Bring a shawl with you! We were handed two menus, one had pictures. Our waiter recommended some dishes after we asked. We had a bowl of Chuchvara soup. It was a big portion that was enough for us to try for our table for 4. The meat dumplings were delicious. We also had the Boorsok. It's fried dough without the sugar. We dipped the Boorsok in the soup and devoured it. For our entrees, we ordered Boso Lagman and another noodle dish to try. The noodles were handpulled and flavorful! The meat was tender. Lots of families started getting seated and we only had two waiters in our section of the restaurant. We wanted to order but tea but we couldn't get the attention of the waiters. Hopefully next time!

Came back to my old neighborhood to meet a friend for lunch, and she suggested this new place that opened in a building that once was a Mexican restaurant. The building is clean, updated and has some beautiful Moorish style lighting with a lot of booth seating. We didn't get much direction from the server so we decided to share some items that my friend had tried on a previous occasion. We ordered the Crispy Eggplant to start. If you like eggplant, this is really done well, even though the eggplant wasn't very crispy. It was very lightly breaded (maybe in like a corn starch) and deep fried. Served on top a bed of arugula, with cherry tomatoes and walnuts tossed in chili sauce. Nicely sweet, but not too hot. Next was the beef soup with dumplings, Chuchvara. The broth was a tomato base, with minced vegetables but the prize were the mini dumplings filled with beef and a vegetable. The beef kabob was beautifully presented with white and red onions and a red paste similar to sriracha sauce. The beef was overcooked and chewy, maybe next time I'd pick the lamb or chicken.We shared a pot of kompat, which the server said was a fruit drink, was more like a low sugar powdered drink. Was a nice sweet taste, and had strawberries in it, but maybe next I'll go for the tea. I did wish I could have given it 5 stars but took a point off for the lack of direction from the server and the beef that was dry and chewy.Also posted a copy of receipt, as it seemed a bit pricey for what was ordered.

Food and ambience was great. Sorry did not get pictures because we were focused on the food. Lamb kebab was great. Palov was also nice.
