High-end cuisine in a snap
Mirani’s At Home
offers restaurant
quality food for
busy eaters

Another busy day at the
office. Hours spent chauffeuring
the kids back and
forth. Laundry, errands and
doctor appointments.
Let’s face it, we all find
ourselves in these dilemmas
— never having
enough time in the day to
finish a day’s work and
then relax, let alone worry
about what’s for dinner.
For North Shore residents
who find themselves
in a jam when it comes to
preparing a delicious and
unique menu for dinner,
Winnetka couple Kaveh
and Madeleine Mirani have
just the perfect solution — a
dining concept that concocts
fine restaurant quality food
for either deliver or pickup.
The Miranis, who have
owned and operated eateries
in Winnetka for the past
three decades, recently introduced
their newest venture,
Mirani’s At Home, in
an effort to tap into a dining
market they say exists too
far and few between.
Mirani’s At Home officially
opened on Jan. 16,
offering a combination of
French, Italian and other
Mediterranean cuisines.
Additionally, the Miranis
ensure hints of their Persian
and Dutch ethnic foods are
also present on the menu.
Diners can choose from a
variety of a la carte chicken,
seafood, pasta, rice and

The chicken Parmigiano
($12), which includes
breaded chicken breast and
spaghetti with marinara
sauce, is a staple Italian dish
that’s good for adults and
kids alike. The spaghetti is
lightly sauced and the thin
chicken slices are not heavily
breaded, lending to both
great noodle texture and appropriate
meat portion.
The mustard crusted
salmon ($15), one of the
restaurant’s staple dishes,
features a breaded salmon
with mustard sauce served
over French lentils and
fresh vegetables. The outside
of the fish is crunchy
but lends a soft and firm inside,
and the dish undoubtedly
stands out for it’s mustard
flavoring that’s not too
strong or overwhelming for
the natural flavoring of a
well-cooked salmon.
The Northbrook Tower
Editor Matt Yan’s favorite
dish was the Mediterranean
chicken kebab ($11), which
includes diced chicken
marinated in olive oil and
signature Mirani’s spices
and served with grilled
vegetables. Sour cherry
saffron rice can also be
added to the plate for $6.
The chicken’s light grilling
lends great balance to the
uniquely cooked grains.
“We’ve had comments
from our customers already
that said, ‘I might as well
have been in a restaurant, it
was so amazing,’ and that’s
exactly what we want,”
Madeleine said.
