family restaurant of Ukrainian cuisine Magic Jug
The most interesting reviews
- The tastiest Ukrainian restaurant in Chicago! Their meals, desserts, and coffee justify an hour's drive for me. I love everything on the menu, and so does my Latin American husband. I tried banosh for the first time here (not a very popular dish in Poltava region), and it was rich, savory, and just finger-licking good. Adding fried pork lard (or Ukrainian chicharron, as my husband calls it) makes it even more palatable with a bit of chewiness. Varenyky and pelmeni are excellent as well. You can buy them frozen to take home, too.
On top of that, the service is pleasant and friendly. Feels like we are visiting family.
- Came to Magic Jug and was blown away! The Olivie salad, along with their other dishes, was nothing short of delectable. A must-visit dining experience. Highly recommended!
- Best Eastern European restaurant I've been to in the Chicagoland area. The quality, care and detail in the food here is unmatched in my experience. The prices are very fair, especially when accounting for the quality and portions. If you are looking for homey comfort food, this is the place to go.
