Wazwan (CLOSED)

Chef Zubair Mohajir, whose previous experiences include working at world-renowned Gaggan in Bangkok, launched Wazwan as a pop-up supper club before eventually settling into a space in Wicker Park. His restaurant features both casual and elevated concepts. Up front, expect bites that explore the street food culture of South Asia, such as vada pav—potato croquette sliders—and kati rolls with tandoori chicken. But the coach house located behind Wazwan is where Mohajir really showcases his talents with a dazzling tasting menu. You’ll be treated to refined pleasures like duck numidian, a spin on an ancient recipe, and uni-topped parippu vada in coconut mint chutney. Though it’s a pricey meal, you’re free to BYOB to save some dollars.
