"You could walk down every sidewalk in Wicker Park and never find Coach House. That’s because this BYOB tasting menu spot is completely secluded, hiding in the courtyard behind their not-very-secret sister restaurant, Lilac Tiger. It’s one of the only South Asian tasting menu spots in the city, serving a $190 eight-course meal in an informal atmosphere. Expect vivid stories about each dish from the chef, with a few stop-and-chats sprinkled in between bites of pani puri or momos, and (possibly), a complementary round or two of shots." - john ringor
