Chicago has a lot of excellent, women-owned restaurants. But we compiled a list of our favorite spots that opened in the past year. From a tea house, pasta shop, thali meal delivery, and Filipino food, these are the new women-owned spots in the city you should know about.
All restaurants on The Infatuation are selected by our editorial team. 12 New Women-Owned Restaurants To Check Out In Chicago is presented by Run The World, premiering Sunday May 16th on Starz and the Starz app. Check out the trailer here.
Tasting India
The delivery-only spot Tasting India is not about instant gratification – getting the food from here requires a little planning. It’s a one-woman operation, and she’s making thali meals that highlight a different region of India each week. Menus are announced on Saturdays at 6pm on Instagram, and then you’ll need to fill out an order form, wait for a confirmation, and you’ll receive your meal the following Saturday between 11am-5pm. One week might be churpi, thukpa, and gundkruk from Sikkim, and another might have vadouvan seafood stew and other specialties from Puducherry. Everything will be packaged in little boxes and tins.
