Located in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood and slated to open in Summer 2026, Muhājir is a chef-driven restaurant inspired by migration, movement, and the historic spice routes—tracing East-to-West culinary connections through fire, flavor, and tradition. The menu is rooted in migrant cuisine, where techniques and spices evolve naturally through travel and cultural exchange rather than forced fusion. Led by Chef Zubair Mohajir and Jacob Dela Cruz, with a beverage program by David Mor and Richard Beltzer, Muhājir explores the layered stories of diaspora through live-fire cooking and bold, globally influenced flavors. The menu reflects the movement of ingredients, people, and ideas across borders, bringing together spices, techniques, and traditions that have shaped cuisines for generations. Live-fire cooking anchors the experience, with food leading the narrative and service carrying it forward.
