Usmania has wonderful biryani...but Ghareeb Nawaz is A LOT Cheaper...

We have halal Chinese on Devon as well.

I'd recommend the Maghrebi part of town though, Nothing beats a nice sit down meal at Tassili.

Really depends on what kind of culture you're in the mood for, Devon avenue is basically desi town, Masjid: Jamia.

Elston between montrose and Pulaski is African 3arab. Masjid: MCC

Lawrence to Montrose Kimball to Kedzie is all Shami 3arab. Masjid: Makki

On Belmont down past Cicero you have the Khaliji Part of Town. Masjid: MEC

Thats the North Side though, A lot of Immigrant communities up there,

Down South You have the African American Masjids, where you'll find a lot of interesting stuff, Like Halal Mexican Food, Halal Soul Food, etc.

Its a bit more mixed down south so I really recommend it.

you know in all honesty, we have a huge community over here. I dont see why anyone has to look for anyone out of state. You live on the northside, by devon, so you know exactly what i mean.

i dont mean to nit-pick, since i get annoyed when peeps do it to me, but m.e.c. is north of the city in morton grove, next to skokie. I actually live about 4 miles away from the masjid your talking about, thats I.C.C. (islamic community center of chicago) on belmont, just west of narraganset.

if you mean think about our futures and not get stuck in jobs that pay you minimum wage when you are 32, then yes, that is EXACTLY what we ever think about.

you dont know what i do or how much i earn so dont talk smack to me you lil gurl. my point is there's more to life than just college college college. cuz thats all you people ever talk about, you know why? cuz you hypocrites are too busy becoming class-obssesed so you can feel that your superior over a stupid lousy job. its just a job and nothing more nothing less.
