Mirra — Bucktown

Mirra’s Indian-Mexican menu is useful for a shared dinner built around lamb barbacoa biryani. The restaurant specifies that the dish serves two or three, giving a pair a clearer starting point than an unexplained small-plates list. Roti quesadillas and mezze offer different additions. Choose it when the table wants the same centerpiece, with the dinner timing and the cost of extra plates settled before booking.

Tuk Tuk Thai Isan — Wicker Park

Tuk Tuk’s Wicker Park branch adds a whole-fish option to a Thai dinner shortlist otherwise built around individual bowls. The official menu lists a fried snapper in the rice-included signature section, while charcoal-grilled chicken quarters let a pair add a different dish. Choose this format when both diners want to share the main order. Use 1500 West Division Street and the Wicker Park booking link: the restaurant also operates in Lakeview, and much citywide coverage describes that other location.

On The Menu
Plaa rad prik: whole fried snapper with sweet-spicy sauce USD 32 in the signature section marked served with rice. Kai yang: charcoal-grilled chicken quarters with Jaew sauce USD 16. Two dishes total USD 48 food; portion needs vary.
Good For
A Whole Fish To Share
Plan Ahead
Use the Wicker Park reservation route at 1500 W Division. Official BYOB limit: one 750 ml wine bottle or six-pack of beer per two guests, USD 2 per glass; no hard liquor. Confirm the current branch terms for your date. Weekday service pauses from 3 to 4:30 p.m.; no availability or wait time promised.

USD 48 food for the stated snapper-and-chicken order, before tax, tip, drinks and additions. BYOB terms separately list USD 2 per glass; two charged glasses would add USD 4, excluding the cost of your bottle. Checked October 17, 2026.

Silom12 — Bucktown

Silom12 is a useful Bucktown choice when you want a curry with the rice already accounted for. The printed menu separates protein tiers and explicitly includes steamed jasmine rice with curries and stir-fries. That makes it easier to build two individual dinners than to guess how many extras a shared order needs. Chicken green curry and shrimp red curry provide one concrete comparison; vegetarian-labelled dishes occupy a separate section with their own prices. Confirm group charges directly when planning beyond a pair.

On The Menu
Current linked printed menu: chicken green curry USD 15.95 and shrimp red curry USD 17.95, each with jasmine rice. Chicken or tofu pad Thai USD 13.95 in the main noodle section. The separately listed vegetarian curries are USD 16.95; do not conflate the sections.
Good For
Two Curries With Rice Included
Plan Ahead
Telephone 773-489-1212 to reserve. The menu posts an 18% group gratuity but conflicting party-size thresholds; ask which terms apply to your group. This profile makes no availability promise.

Chicken green curry USD 15.95 plus shrimp red curry USD 17.95 totals USD 33.90 food with the included jasmine rice. Before tax, tip, drinks and additions; checked October 17, 2026. Printed menu is subject to change.

Silli Kori — Wicker Park

Silli Kori gives a Wicker Park dinner a straightforward starting point: a curry-and-rice bowl or a noodle soup ordered for yourself. Its dinner listings include Massaman with braised beef and jasmine rice, alongside kao soi with egg noodles. The spending figures here come from the restaurant’s own pickup menu, so they help plan an order without pretending to be a confirmed dine-in bill. Weekend opening at 4 p.m. matters if you had lunch in mind; weekdays start earlier.

On The Menu
Dinner pickup menu: Massaman curry USD 15, with braised chuck roll, cumin, pearl onion, potato confit and jasmine rice; kao soi USD 15 with beef or chicken, curry, egg noodles, pickled mustard greens and garlic. Other proteins and modifications may change prices.
Good For
A Curry Or Noodle Bowl Of Your Own
Plan Ahead
Call 773-384-5352 for dine-in arrangements and confirm current prices and terms. The site offers pickup and a reservation page; no available table or finished booking is implied.

One listed Massaman and one listed kao soi total USD 30 for food on the official pickup menu, checked October 17, 2026. Tax, tip, drinks and extras excluded. Dine-in price parity was not established.
