The Epicurian Hungarian in Hillside is a great spot for Hungarian food. And they do have gypsy music from time to time. Also, Cafe LaGuardia in Wicker Park is a good bet for Cuban--great food and great mojitos! I know it’s a little off the beaten path, and don’t be put off by its American “banquest hall” exterior.

The Riverside restaurant in North Riverside is generally acknowledged as the best Slovak food in Chicagoland. The owners were friends of my grandmother. They make an amazing breaded pork tenderloin with gravy. Try it with sauerkraut, liver dumpling soup, and bread dumplings for the real effect. But watch out, they are cash only. There are many other Czech/Slovak restaurants in the Chicagoland area. Klas or Czech Plaza in Berwyn are great Czech restaurants. The Bohemian Crystal in Westmont is Czech/Slovak but has amazing sauerkraut. Try their Moravian platter for more fall-off-the-bone meat than you can handle. The nice thing about Czech/Slovak restaurants is that they are all very affordable, approx. $10-15 a plate. And a "plate" could feed two. Most of the food names have been translated into english based on ingredients, like Beef w/ dill gravy. Also, don't be afraid to try the dishes that have foreign sounding names like halushky, svichkova, & segedinski goulash. They are all wonderful. I am Slovak and ethnic bohemian food is a necessity.
