Best Vegan Restaurants in Belmont Central / Cragin

Sifr has been our radar for quite a while and we were very pleased we were able to finally dine there. It's located in west River North with ample parking on Erie St adjacent to the restaurant which is a plus. Service: Outstanding from the moment we walked in with our elderly friends. The hostess was so polite and accommodating when I told her one of our friends was very hard of hearing. She suggested a table upstairs but we found out that it was actually that patio with outdoor heaters and it was too cold for us so we needed to go back to the main dining room which the hostess gladly reseated us. We can's say enough about our server, Jorge. He was courteous to a fault, attentive and so engaging. He was particularly careful in addressing the food allergies of our friends and even spoke to the chef to determine the dishes that would work for them which we thought was really going the extra mile. Also, when I asked if the music could be tuned down a bit to allow for better conversation he didn't hesitate to address it. The meal was paced perfectly with other servers helping to clear the table constantly. Food: Excellent. We tried the Fattosh Salad, Chicken Shawarma Hummus, Charred Carrots, Scallops, Branzino, Batata Harra and Persian Berry Pilaf and ice cream for dessert. All were delicious as evidenced by our empty plates. Ambiance: The room is modern, bright, with very high ceilings and open.floor plan and bar. Tables are spaced moderately but since the ceilings are so high the noise level can be challenging when the music is turned up. However, when we asked if the music could be turned down to a more comfortable level they seem to be happy to accommodate. A second floor patio is used for extra dining with space heaters but it can be cold if seated near the windows during the winter. However, it must be great during the summer months. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Sifr and will definitely be back with other friends.

What an amazing experience! The food flavors and visual presentation were just delightful! Our hostess Lilly was knowledgeable and attentive. The entire experience was wonderful! This is going to be one of our go-to restaurants going forward. Whether you are vegan or not, this is a must-try! We loved it!

The wait person was topnotch. The food for the most part was very good. The vegetable sides uninspiring. One fish entree overcooked however the other 3 were on spot. Service was impeccable and timely. Noise level loud but tolerable. Overall very nice.

Everything was fantastic! Service was perfect and the food was outstanding. Brought our 2 year old and they were extremely accomodating and welcoming

Great menu, good food and good value. Service is variable
