Every time I browse here, I can feel their eyes on me ... the last time was no exception. Sorry, but schlepping around the city on a 92 degree day with my daughter who was visiting from NYC, comfort was more important than style. I was wearing an Eddie Bauer sleeveless polo and casual jean shorts, and boy did I look and feel like a shrek. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed browsing the outrageous, funky selection at Ikram. The staff would be shocked to discover I bought my daughter two pieces at the old location about a decade ago.
I love the way they displayed vintage pieces under little glass globes and the display cases are stunning. Most of the clothing and jewelry is rather flamboyant, as is the dominantly red space. In general, Ikram definitely stocks far flashier merchandise than Blake - which is more minimalist. These days I cannot afford any of this, but it sure is fun to ogle.

An amazing place, an experience if you consider fashion as art. There is no way to put in words what you can see here, cashmere sweaters with art prints and Pom poms, leather netted capes and dresses, silk chiffons and tunics, fur boleros sewn in checkered layers, skirts that hold concealed taffeta and lace surprises, collars with shearling and floral appliqué, and designer clothing of the staid, classic bent and of the avant-garde. I hope you will enter this place with a sense of wide awake anticipation and an appreciation for the fine display of this collection. Can’t imagine anything like it anywhere else. Enjoy!

I am so happy I found this online boutique! They have the most beautiful trendy clothes that come in multiple sizes. They ship out right away, and I get my packages so fast! I get compliments all the time. Plus, they get in new styles almost every day! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

The retail store is basically sublime. Great selection of top designers but what makes it even cooler is the the way the merchandise ranges from whimsical to haute couture. It is like a fully subversive fashion experience. Then after I wore myself out exclaiming at the wonder of the cool things (and buying a couple of items), I went to the cafe upstairs and it was exceptional. Healthy and fancy (which is not easy to accomplish) and without breaking the bank

Ikram cafe is with out any question is
In the top 3% of the best restaurants
II've had the pleasure of dining at in Chicago.
Ikram is a compleat dining experience.
From the opulent room too the extremely creative chefs tied together with very professional wait staff.
Not only do I enjoy dining there. It is the only one that I leave my lunch order completely in the hands of these master chefs an never be disappointed.
In truth, they continually surprise in some of the most spectacular ways.
Those who know me, know I never give praise that's not totally earned.
Outstanding!

i like every single thing about the café. i would only add chauferred delivery !!
the seating is comfortable; one can sit and talk and feel perfectly at ease. the tables are far enough apart for privacy
the decor is wonderful ! warm and bright reds, well appointed tables and now, it is time for the food.... and wine. the menu choices are made carefully to appeal to and satisfy small or large appetites. the choices are always super fresh and well seasoned with interesting herbs fruit and vegetable pairings
the wine list is impressive and the service really is service. no waiting for too long, all meals at the table arrive at the same time. no missing conversation to hail a missing waiter. ikram's uncompromising eye and standards completely present at all times. a treat to dress up and have one's look appreciated; or, be casual and the shredded jeans next table may belong to someone with a private jet on standby. never dull
