Cultura Steaks — Local services in Niles Township

kay, hold onto your hats, carnivores, because I'm about to preach. No fancy Michelin-starred joints or stuffy white tablecloths can hold a candle to this family-owned steakhouse. We're talking culinary miracles served on sizzling platters, like Jesus himself grabbed his diploma from heavenly culinary school and landed his first gig right here. I’m Jamaican and I have to give it up to this chef.

Let's start with the New York strip. Forget about "medium-rare" – this was poetry on a plate. The sear was a symphony of caramelized perfection, a crust so deep and rich it could make a choir sing hallelujah. Inside, it was a blushing pink wonderland, each bite melting on my tongue like a celestial butter cloud. I'm not exaggerating, I swear I saw angels weeping for joy with every chew.

Then there was the burger. Oh, that burger. A tower of juicy, beefy bliss, a monument to culinary genius built on a foundation of perfectly toasted brioche. Each layer – the melty cheese, the crispy bacon, the tangy pickles – was like a divine chorus singing backup to the main act: the patty. It was an all-American masterpiece, so good I could hear whispers of "Amen" floating in the air.

But this place isn't just about the food, which, let's be honest, is enough to make you sprout actual wings. It's about the family behind it. They treat you like a long-lost cousin, the servers glide around like seasoned archangels, and the whole place buzzes with genuine, heart-warming joy. You can practically taste the love (and maybe a dash of some seriously heavenly secret spices) in every dish.

So, if you're looking for a meal that's more than just calories, an experience that will have you questioning your earthly limitations, this is your holy grail. It's a portal to culinary heaven, where every bite is a blessing and the bill should come with a direct line to the Big Guy himself. Five stars? Psh, I'm giving them five halos and a lifetime membership to the heavenly choir.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a personal appointment with a glass of holy water. Call it post-steak protocol. Trust me, you'll understand after one bite. You might even start speaking in tongues. Don't say I...

FOOD QUALITY: 10/10

MEJILLONES SALTEADOS - I’m so in love with this! It has full of flavors! The sauce was really flavorful. You can also dip the cheese breadsticks in the sauce and the mussels was sooooo good 🤤 I can definitely eat that with rice lol and the best part and the reason I almost finished the whole bowl of mussels is because it doesn’t have after taste.

ECUADORIAN STYLE EMPANADAS - 10/10 A MUST TRY 🙌🏻 They have a choice of Beef, Chicken and Cheese. I tried their Beef and Chicken and it’s crispy, savory and juicy. They used plantains to cover the meat and it balance and add more flavors.

CALAMARI APANADOS - a very good choice of starter. It’s not just Calamari but it has mix of sweet potato and carrot chips!

FETTUCCINE PASTA - they really have big servings! Really worth it for its price.

MAR Y TIERRA - 100/10 🔥 it’s a 10oz filet mignon with three jumbo shrimp and sides of mashed potatoes and sautéed broccolini. Steak was seasoned very well, tender and juicy. It comes with three jumbo shrimp that was also seasoned very well. Their mashed potatoes was BOMB! It’s creamy and mouthwatering. 🤤 And I really don’t like vegetables if I can skip eating one, I will. But their sautéed broccolini was a game changer. It’s well seasoned and I really enjoyed it!

CARROT CAKE - 10/10 Soft, moist cake and it was not too sweet.

SERVING & PRICE:

SERVING - they have big servings.

PRICE - reasonable pricing for its quality and amount of servings. Worth the price!

OVERALL EXPERIENCE: EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!! From appetizers to entrees to desserts 🙌🏻🔥 Staff was very accommodating and friendly too.

I don't recommend this restaurant, supposedly everything is halal, now I don't believe the service, food and facilities are a disaster since I found out that the main chef left, I knew it wouldn't be the same. I met the three partners now there is only one left who doesn't know anything about cooking. I met them. Fabian Kaleel and Jose Luis, who was the one who knew about cooking, from there I tried to return but it wasn't worth it, they should close and the one who stayed should continue in business but the restaurant doesn't know, has no idea, worse to see people who do know how to cook, how bad it is They have separated but I can imagine why all the food is terrible, the flavors are the worst I have ever tasted, all the food except for when the owner was there, he did know what he was doing;; I hope those who gave the restaurant a halal certificate will inspect everything and as a member of the Arab and Indian community we should not play with people, they already said that now the current owner was never able to have a restaurant and it shows….. What's worse, that restaurant no longer has anything from Latin America or Ecuador or Argentina and they continue to promote on their networks something that is no longer seen, I tried to give them a chance and it wasn't worth it. The chicken shawarma seemed to be damaged, it's not what it is anymore. The same as that restaurant was when the chef himself was there, like Jose Luis, the owner, and Fabian, who was also very friendly ,,,,,,was there to...
