Ragadan? More like Raga-dank!
Came for the burger, but would actually come back for the Falafel . The pocket was loaded and flavors were unique from anything else you’ll find in the city. Very well might be the best falafel I’ve tried. Burger was juicy, melty and certainly high quality, but just a bit rich for my liking.
Small counter service spot with a handful of sears inside. Could dine in for small groups. Food came out real quick!

For the last two years since I first stepped into Ragadan, it has been the #1 place I recommend to people looking for incredible (perhaps underrated / hidden gem) restaurants in Chicago. I have worked my way through most of the menu and everything is so fresh, flavorful, and the best in its category. From the burgers, falafel, salads, and milkshakes… They’re literally all the best you’ll find of any of those things in the city. Recommendations: falafel in any form, Ragadan salad, soups, and the burgers are all must tries ASAP. The milkshakes are the best I’ve had in my adult life and are thick and decadent with unique flavors (e.g. pistachio, baklava). Since it’s located on Broadway close to the Salvation Army, I like to sometimes combine the two as a treat 🙂 11/10 stars!

Had the Oklahoma onion burger. Heard about them on Food network. It was very good. The onion rings they put I believe some Turkish seasoning on and they were tasty. Also the Baklava was fresh and good. The owner was very nice as well. The other stuff looked good too

It was a long day at work so I decided to stop by Ragadan and I can easily say this is one of my favorite spots in the city. I love it so much it felt like it was time to sit down and sing the praises of a place that means so much to me. The food is soo good, I swear I can taste the love it in it! Today I had the Patty Melt X Ka’ak which bold, flavorful and comforting in a way that only Ragadan can do it and french fries are crispy warm and always on point. The service is also warm in a subtle way that you feel taken care of but not in a overbearing way. I am seriously so grateful for this spot and all that Dan and his team has brought to Uptown. Thank you all for what you do. Seriously much appreciated.

We loved their stuffed falafel pocket and chicken kaak sandwich! Delicious and savory. Good price. This place is a neighborhood gem

Absolutely amazing, the patty melt is one of the best burgers in Chicago. Also some of the best falafel I’ve had in Chicago. Fast, tasty, and reasonably priced.

The Oklahoma onion burger is a no-nonsense quintessential American burger with a Jordanian twist. The patty was smashed thin and fried on the griddle until it was crispy at the edges yet still juicy within. Thinly sliced onions piled on top, sweet and soft from caramelizing in the burger’s fat. A slice of American cheese, soft sesame bun, and herbaceous zatr mayo tied it all together. Fries were battered and fried to golden crispy perfection. Their hummus was smooth, nutty, and went so well with the garlicky green chili sauce. Falafel was underwhelming compared to the rest.

Great food, glad to know its made fresh and its very flavorful. We got the Falafel ka’ak and chicken ka’ak with onion rings and sauces. Good portions. Will definitely come back to try the burgers and other items.

We ordered a beef kefta in a pita and the Oklahoma burger. Everything was delicious!! And some of the best fries I’ve had in Chicago. Great sauce options as well. Will definitely be going back.
