Cafe 53

Went there with a few friends. We had the world famous lol Sumac chicken sandwich on two different breads, french baguette, and dutch bread and they were both good but I liked the dutch bread better. We also had pistachio latte and some dessert and everything was good and clean and made with attention. Would definitely come back again!

Nice chill vibe here I'm digging. The place has a large sandwich menu and serves breakfast sandwiches all day too which is dope. You can dine in too place is not too small but it is not a big place either for seating. They also have some dessert as here as well that looks very good too. I went with the Garlic Chicken Sandwich 8.5. This a solid sandwich didn't taste the garlic thou as much as would have liked to but still was good. For dessert I got the carrot cake 8.9 which was very good ngl..and the Caramel Apple Cheesecake 9.1 this smacked was impressed by this one here. Absolutely delicious. But, overall the spot is super chill with some swanky music in the back while you eat.

As someone who appreciates great vegan options, I was delighted by the variety and creativity of the menu. Every dish was fresh and flavorful. The vegan options were not just an afterthought but a highlight of the menu. The service was equally outstanding—fast, friendly, and attentive. Even during peak hours, the staff ensured everything ran smoothly, making the dining experience relaxed and enjoyable. The ambiance of the place was warm and inviting, perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out. This place is a must-visit! I'll definitely be coming back. I had a Vegan Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich and my partner had a BBQ Lettuce Chicken Wrap.

Wow! I'm so glad I discovered this place. If you're in Hyde Park or near the Museum of Science and Industry, you have to check it out. It's a Zabiha Halal café. We tried the turkey avocado on French bread and the beef pastrami on Dutch bread—both were fantastic. Personally, I preferred the French bread; the Dutch bread was more like a giant biscuit. The sandwiches are huge! The secret patio in the back is a whole different vibe.

Perfect local spot with saucy sandwiches brimming with flavor! Reasonable sandwich prices and a variety of flavors. The sumac chicken was fantastic. I was prepared to give a tip and the waiter clicked past, saying “if you like it come back” which made me want to tip way more than the obligatory “couple questions for you”
