At Wazwan, opt for the house signature Tandoori Honey Chicken Sando. The food: At the Coach House, choose between a five-course vegetarian menu (Thursdays) or an eight-course meat-friendly menu (Fridays and Saturdays), all of which change seasonally alongside the kitchen’s parting gift (right now that’s a small jar of Garam Masala, toasted and blended in-house). Two different dining experiences exist: More casual street fare at Wazwan or a multi-course tasting menu at The Coach House, situated within one of the only coach houses to withstand the Chicago Fire. The gist: After building his culinary career at the likes of Pump Room, Napa’s Bouchon, and Bangkok’s Gaggan, chef Zubair Mohajir returned to Chicago for Wazwan, a culinary ode to Southeast Asia.
