Big Things are Happening at RONI’S BLUE STAR TAVERNA By Suzanne Wallace - Sun Times
Roni Mualem, the new owner of Blue Star Taverna not only added his name but he’s also created a new menu and a music inspired decor to the popular night spot. It’s an exciting restaurant and night club located at 2221 North Federal Highway (two blocks south of Sheridan Street on the East side of Federal) serving Kosher Rubashkin Mediterranean cuisine made with the freshest, highest quality ingredients. The large dining room seats 150 guests at tables topped by crisp white cloths. Musical Instruments are framed around the walls, several guitars and instruments from stringed around the world, some drums and tambourines most signed by famous International musicians. The decor reflects Roni’s musical background and collection of musical memorabilia. He is a singer and musician. In fact Roni has worn many hats and still does...he’s the owner, chef, and joins the entertainers on the stage. His recipes are featured on the menu with several of his signature dishes. Roni’s famous Kabobs are marinated in various fruit juices and grilled on a hardwood charcoal grill. His chicken wings done dry with spices on the grill are mouthwatering. Mediterranean and Middle East dishes along with several Indian dishes will introduce some guests to new tastes, while others will delight in the opportunity to again, eat some of their country’s cuisine. You can pick on a hot or cold appetizer while waiting for your meal. Roni’s Hummus is really tasty. Maybe you would like to try the Baba Ghanoush (eggplant is the main ingredient) or Sambousak (a vegetarian empanada), or the Grilled Sweet Potato. Then for dinner you might like to order an Indian dish of Chicken or Lamb Curry (Mild or Spicy), Chicken Tandoori (Mild or Spicy), or one of Roni’s Signature Kebab dishes prepared on a hardwood charcoal grill and there’s 6 different kinds of rice to give the best flavor to each dish. The Grilled Tilapia Iraqi Style is made with Tomatoes, Onions, and a Special Sauce. Roni’s Famous Salmon in Special Sauce is so exquisite he suggests you call in
advance to order as it takes about an hour to prepare. You will be served fresh, alkaline water with your meal and there’s Baklava or Kunafa for dessert. Roni is featuring a Grand Opening Dinner for Two consisting of a Mixed Grill Dinner for two, featuring Kebabs, grilled tomatoes and hot peppers on a bed of rice, appetizers and salad and a bottle of wine all for $49.00. Roni’s Blue Star Taverna is open 6days a week (closed on Fridays) 5:00 PM until when ever the party is over or before 4:00 AM. Tuesday night is Ladies Night with a DJ and free drinks for the ladies from 10:00 PM to Midnight. There’s a lovely curved bar for seating and a raised stage in a corner. Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays there’s live music starting around 9:00 PM, provided by Roni and various International Stars. Roni plays many instruments from Arabic drums and guitars to the Oud which is a beautiful type of stringed instrument with a round shaped body much like a tortoise shell and a curved neck. As part of the International flavor of Roni’s Blue Star Taverna there’s a Hookah Lounge out back on the patio to be enjoyed. If you are looking for a new dining and entertainment experience Roni’s Blue Star Taverna is certainly enjoyable. Roni thinks of his patrons as family to be entertained and served his wonderful food.
