About

Setting up shop in Wicker Park in October 2021, Wazwan was soon named one of the “10 Hottest Restaurants in Chicago” by Chicago Magazine. Here, Executive Chef/Owner Zubair Mohajir, nominated for a Jean Banchet Award, celebrates South Asian cuisine. Among the specialties offered are momos, delicate bite-sized dumplings that feature prominently in Tibetan and Nepalese food traditions. The mushroom korma with cashew butter and black truffle also has a following, as does the inaloban, a fish stew with clams and bok choi in a turmeric coconut broth. Chef Mohajir has worked as a sous chef at The Pumproom by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, at Thomas Keller’s Michelin-starred Restaurant Bouchon in California, and did an apprenticeship at Gaggan in Bangkok, which was ranked #1 among Asia’s restaurants and seventh overall in rankings of the world’s best restaurants.
