Our Review
Probably the oldest Assyrian Iraqi restaurant in Chicago, Albany Park's 24-hour George's Grill Kabab serves a polyglot male-and-female clientele who come at all hours for the mezes, kebabs, shawarma, and kubba Mosul. No one I asked seems to know who the original George was, but the restaurant has passed through many hands over some 30 years, and at least two former owners answered to that name. It's currently operated by Basma Jajou and her family, in partnership with an older owner, Hermiz Koril, who has a hand in a few other restaurants, and whose grinning, framed portrait still hangs on the back wall. Among Jajou's Assyrian specialties is pacha, stuffed sheep stomach, which drew a visit from Andrew Zimmern of Bizarre Foods on his trip to town.
