Part of Lilac Tiger and The Coach House

Lilac Tiger is Chicago's newest collaboration amongst three of the hospitality industry's major players, actively striving for new and invigorating dining opportunities in the city. Zubair Mohajir (Wazwan, Coach House), Ty Fujimura (Arami, Small Bar, Entente), and Won Kim (Kimski) have come together to curate an intimate South Asian dining experience that is matched with bold and vibrant cocktails, spirits, and beers, curated by Beverage Director David Mor (TRUCE, Cindy's, Robert et Fils).

In the space formerly known as Wazwan, Lilac Tiger is taking life and building its own identity as a thoughtfully-curated cocktail bar and dining spot. For those who have frequented Wazwan in the past couple of years, rest assured that the house favorites are staying, including the Wazwan team! Dishes like the THC Sando, Wazwanimal Burger, and Chettinad Chicken Masala will be joined by collaborative dishes by Chefs Zubair and Won, offering up a melding of Korean and Indian flavors and ingredients. From Duck Fried Rice to Whole Fish and Indian/Korean Pickle Plates, this new menu is packed with a punch of flavors and spices throughout.
