Check Please!!!

My wife and I are heading up north to the Albany Park area to take our oldest son back to his college. We swing by the Lincoln Square area to pickup our oldest daughter so we can all head out for a nice afternoon lunch. We decide on another Check Please restaurant that we have not yet been to. We all agree to try out Noon O Kabab.

The place is beautiful inside. We just love all the tile mosiacs. The chairs are padded and so comfortable. The services is extremely attentive and friendly.

We ordered the Hummus for our appetizer. This was just ok, nothing really special. Knowing that Semiramis is just over the tracks (less than a block away) I am longing for their Hummus which was outstanding. We also ordered the Saffron Chicken soup which was truly tasty. The soup had so much flavor and was really good.

Then for our main course the four of us each order the Barb Kabab, a thin filet minon with rice and grilled tomatoes. Maria and my son got the white rice with saffron. My daughter and I got the dilled rice with saffron. We all thought our main course was again just average, nothing special to write home about.

Finally for dessert Maria ordered the Baklava. She said she "loved it". She thought it was very fresh.

Overall we did think the pita bread was good. And the tea was very flavorful. But the price tag was very high. Our bill came to roughly $86 dollars. Would we go back or recommend Noon O Kabab, maybe if we ordered a different main course item the next time.
