The Indian Garden is an authentic Indian restaurant in Chicago. You'll find a warm and friendly team that is eager to serve up a delicious lunch or dinner, which reflects our passion for good Indian food. The large menu at The Indian Garden features dishes from India and Pakistan. The menu also includes several tandoor specialties, including marinated lobster and lamb chops. Kadhai gosht, a mildly spiced dish of boneless lamb cooked in an iron wok with tomatoes, onions and garlic, is a house specialty, as is the raan-e-khyber, a whole leg of lamb marinated in almond paste, yogurt and saffron and roasted in the tandoor. There are several vegetarian options to choose from at The Indian Garden, like the tandoor sabzi, a combination platter of marinated vegetables that are roasted in the tandoor oven. The Indian Garden serves the best quality Indian foods at affordable prices.

The Scene
If you're not familiar with Devon Avenue dining, Indian Garden is a good place to start. With four locations around the city, they're used to dealing with non-natives, and service is friendly and patient. The room is narrow and bright, with yellow walls and exotic prints and paintings. The crowd is a subdued mix of locals and visitors craving curry.

The Food
Indian Garden's extensive menu abounds with classics for vegetarians and carnivores alike--hearty, filling samosas stuffed with potatoes and green peas; vegetable fritter pakora; and lamb, chicken and seafood specialties whose flavors range from subtle to seriously hot. Chicken tikka masala is pleasantly mild, chunks of chicken folded into a creamy tomato sauce. Like spicy? Try the lamb or chicken vindaloo, but beware--the menu calls its sauce "fiery," and that's an understatement. Cool off your mouth not with water, but with a big hunk of naan.

Not a good experience

by JasonBright

I have traveled around the country and have been a great fan of the Indian cuisine, I have tried the food at the Indian Garden and was greatly disappointed. The food has no flavor just full of cream and a bland taste and the servers were pushy and very aggressive. If you want a good meal without people hassling you please don't try this place.

Best on Devon Avenue

by jdlachowicz

The tasteful decor, the excellent service, and especially the FOOD make Indian Garden one of my favorite restaurants for a long, conversational lunch or a romantic dinner. The samosas are the best anywhere, and every dish I've ever tried has become my favorite. It might be difficult to choose between the many restaurants on Devon, but Indian Garden stands out for its friendliness, consistency, and quality.

i came from london to chicago and love inidan food so tried indian garden on devon. the food and service was amazing. i hadnt tried anything like it before. it changed my thoughts on what food is good. the new owners have done a great job with decorating the place and now it is spectacular. i will surely come back to indian garden again to be dazzled with more of their authentic indian food. if you havent been to indian garden on devon you havent tried proper indian food!

Pros: fast service, friendly and polite staff, great food

Worth the traffic

by southsidemark

This place had gone downhill under the old owners. However, new ownership took over in September of 2007. And what a difference they're making.
The new owner, Maria, had been the longtime manager of the Indian Garden on Ontario (downtown). She and Alex (bartender/manager) have worked hard to make this the place to stop on Devon. We've been there 4 times since the new ownership has taken over and it gets better every time. Give Maria and Alex a couple more months and this will be the place to stop on Devon.
