There is a small table to sit at other than that, you wouldn’t have to take your food to go. It is a bit pricey
I ordered the kabob bowl 3 times over
First time it came with chicken, jasmine rice, pickled turnip, pickled carrots, shredded carrots ,cucumber, tomatoe. Lettuce
Second time it was rice, chicken cucumber, diced tomatoes, lettuce, shredded carrots. It was still good so I had no complaints. Oh well
But today when I ordered it came with chicken rice cucumber and tomatoes and lettuce. When I contacted them I was basically told the vegetables are to their discretion, which makes the food unreliable to me. The vegetables are what adds the flavor to the dish and to hear that it’s up to them whether or not I get vegetables is disappointing. It takes away from the experience of restraint as you don’t know what you’ll get when you order. I respect and understand that business is small but you shouldnt be unreliable. And this makes the place very unreliable. I’d rather be informed that certain ingredients aren’t available rather than take my money and give me anything. I’d rather know that vegetables are add ons and not apart of the dish. I thought I found a new experience but no. In basically playing Russian roulette with my money due to the fact of “we don’t always have everything, just refund me my money, to me that’s unreliable and greedy for money regardless of customer experience. Again food is good but not reliable. Indgredients are to their discussion and if that’s the case why am I spending 18 for just chicken and rice ? The whole system just disappointed and confused me.
In a neighborhood teeming with culinary options, Milano stands out as a rare gem offering authentic Iraqi cuisine. This newcomer to the Delmar Loop brings flavors that are as bold as they are comforting.
Fair warning: patience is a virtue here. Nearly everything is cooked to order, which might test your restraint during busy hours. But as any food lover knows, you can’t rush perfection – and perfection is what Milano is aiming for.
My culinary journey began with a trio of cold appetizers. The Jajeek (cucumber yogurt) offered a refreshing palate cleanser, though it didn’t exactly rock my world. The hummus stepped up the game with its creamy texture and solid flavor profile. But the undisputed champion of cold starters? The baba ghannosh – a smoky, sultry eggplant masterpiece elevated to new heights with pomegranate and molasses. Vegetarians, rejoice! These three options alone are worth the visit.
Moving to the hot side of things, I sampled the KUBBA – think of it as Iraq’s answer to the Italian arancini. This rice-shelled pocket conceals perfectly seasoned meat inside, distinguishable from traditional kubba by its sunny yellow exterior rather than the typical brown.
Plant-based eaters aren’t relegated to cold appetizers either. The falafel sandwich brings the expected chickpea goodness, but it’s the mshakkal (“mixed”) sandwich that deserves your attention. This handheld feast combines falafel, fried eggplant, and fries with fresh veggies – a study in textural contrasts that somehow works beautifully.
The fasoolia (white beans) transported me straight to someone’s grandmother’s kitchen – comfort food that feels deeply personal. Similarly, the white rice and kabob carry the unmistakable hallmarks of recipes passed down through generations, with an authenticity you can taste in every bite.
Yes, Milano’s physical footprint may be modest, but what they accomplish within those walls is anything but small. If you find yourself wandering the Loop with hunger pangs and a sense of adventure, Milano isn’t just a good option – it’s a necessary detour into Iraq’s rich culinary landscape.
For our drinks, we had the mint lemonade and green juice. Mint lemonade had a perfect balance of sweetness and freshness and green juice was very refreshing.
For our appetizer, we had the hummus and Baba Ganoush with pita breads. Both were great appetizers, but I was very impressed by the Baba Ganoush, which was a very smooth, creamy, and flavorful dip with the pieces of pita bread.
For the entree, we had the Mixed Kabob Platter, featuring 3 skewers of lamb, lamb kofta, and chicken served on top of rice with large variety of vegetables/salad. All of these kabobs were extremely flavorful and tender and were complimented very well by the rice, vegetables, and sauces. I was very impressed by the plating of the platter, despite being inside of a to-go container.
Will definitely be back here again to try out other menu items!
