New Kosher Restaurant in Evanston, IL

[weinstein5]

I just heard there might be a new restaurant opening in Evanston, IL on Howard called Manghal - possibly a meat BBQ - has anyone else heard anything similar?

Was by there tonight. There is a sign that says Manghal, but the part indicating Kosher Testaurant is folded over on one sign and cut off of a second.

So maybe that's a security issue, or maybe its still undecided.

In any case they are making progress on the facility.

I will keep my fingers crossed -

I just saw they are listed on CRC's web site so indeed they will be kosher but still have not seen anything else -

I am still holding out hope for another Moroccan/Tunisian palce since the one on Dempster closed several years ago. Always enjoy a good bastilla. I'm also on the hunt for muhamarra. I know it's relatively easy to make, but it's such a good condiment that I'd love to see it used more often.

I stopped into today - did not try the food did not have time so I can only speak to decor, aroma and prices - decor very nice with plenty of room - aroma smelled great I will be going bakc - the prices and menu is in line with Taboun and Mizrahi

I was told that the waitress does not speak English or Hebrew and did not know what a hot dog was! I sure hope the person was joking!

I second that - the waitress I spoke to seemed Israeli -
