Customer's reviews

I recently visited Serai Café & Deli and was seriously impressed. The mocktails deserve real praise — they’re thoughtfully crafted, well-balanced, and genuinely enjoyable. Not just “nice for a non-alcoholic option,” but actually something you’d come back for. And the sandwiches? All hits, no misses. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and flavors that clearly weren’t rushed. Whether you’re in the mood for something classic or a little more elevated, everything we tried was solid across the board. On top of that, the space is warm and welcoming, and the staff is friendly without hovering. Serai feels like a new neighborhood gem in the making — the kind of place you casually stop into once and then keep thinking about. I’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to see this place take off. ~ Saleem K
I had the absolute best experience at Serai Cafe. It’s officially my new favorite spot!!! The service was top notch, and everything I tried was absolutely delicious 😋 Here’s what I tried 👇🏻 🍔 The Thinker Serai Burger 🥪 Reuben Sandwich 🥪 Turkey Pesto Panini 🥪 Chicken Pesto Panini 🥪 Caprese Panini (Veggie) ☕️ Iced Macchiato 🌸 Lavender Mint Mocktail 🥭 Mango Refresher Every item was bursting with flavor. You can truly taste the freshness and quality in every bite. I honestly loved all of their food items and oh my gosh don’t get me started on their drinks. The lavendar mint mocktail is just the best mocktail I’ve ever had! I really loved their iced macchiato too. This spot is definitely a must visit for anyone in or visiting Chicago and the best part is that it’s halal!! ~ Sehrish
I received excellent customer service at Serai. The entire team was very welcoming. Serai burgers were made with just the right amount of sauce and juicy patties. I also tried chicken panini that had a unique recipe and a distinct taste. I couldn’t resist their freshly brewed coffee with a smooth and rich texture. I have been to a lot of burger places but honestly , this place has quickly taken the number one rank on my list. Excitingly, they also deliver via Uber Eats, as well via Toast making it very convenient to order my food especially after a long and hard day’s work. The word is that they have had a soft opening recently. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish for the grand opening to occur and more exciting options on the menu! ~ Masuma K
