Akilia Cosina — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

I feel it' necessary to give credit where credit is due. I had an event here yesterday and I must say, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Im sorry that I am so bad with names but from the time I spoke on the phone with one of the owners, to setting up and meeting the staff at the front door, everything was EXCEPTIONAL. The server who helped me decorate (sorry I forgot your name, aaahhhhh) was AMAZING!!!! I know drinks and stuff may be a little on the pricier side but if u want to have a great time where the entire staff is one of a kind, Akilia Cosina is the place. I literally need to go back and tip everyone indivually for a job well done!!! I hope this business continues to prosper. I've never had an experience like this where everyone made sure my entire party was happy and satisfied!! I will definitely be back again!!!! I can literally write an essay about this place, especially for those who love to read. Thank You to everyone who made sure we had the best time and experience ever. It was such a vibe!!!!!! On top of that, they came in clutch because the venue I previously booked for this surprise birthday party had to cancel 2 days before my event due to failing an inspection. AKILIA COSINA 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾 YA'LL did yall BIG ONE yesterday!!!!! Thank You,...

Staff was great! Bartenders were friendly and efficient. Space just felt a bit lonely and empty.

I would recommend a better dj area or seating arrangement - something has to be changes to give a fuller appearance.

Los K-Broz were scheduled to perform, and they did - at 0800pm - when the place was pretty empty. Promoters should've done a better job at announcing show time, as most times groups wont play until midnight, once the location is more full. Needs to improve their marketing.

The location itself was cute, until I entered the bathroom. The main bathroom by dance floor is poorly lit, and was not stocked with TP. It's a club I get it, but also, it's the little things, and it was NOT busy at all. Just seemed like they didn't have a maintenance person. The bathroom in front of club appeared to be staff locker - very tight area, very messy, so rude for employees if this is where they store their personal items - do better for...

I ordered a hookah, and was served a large vaporizer instead (Which is essentially a vape). When I asked the manager for a refund, he was dismissive and quickly said "No there's no refunds" despite the fact that they falsely advertised.

So, not only did they overcharge us ($100), they also falsely advertised and sold us a vape under the guise of "hookah".

They are very money hungry. I do not recommend this place. And will not...
