I've been looking but have had little success. There is an Afghan place on Main Street in Evanston, between Hinman and Chicago, named La Rosa and also Afghan Fine Cuisine. It started as a storefront pizza shop, but when the space next to it opened the owner, who is Afghani and a very nice man, expanded and put Afghan dishes on the menu. It is a sit-down place, but you can also do takeout. It is mostly Kebabs, but you can get other dishes. The scallion dumplings and pumpkin side dish are particularly good. I believe it is the only Afghan place in the Chicago area, and has been reviewed by both the Trib and the Sun Times. 502 Main Street, Evanston 847-328-7800 1.5 blocks from Main Street Metra and CTA stops Trib Reviews: http://www.metromix.com/top/1,1419,,00.html http://www.metromix.com/top/1,1419,,00.html Can't find the Sun-Times on on line
