Indienne delivers a refined and thoughtfully executed vegetarian tasting menu that feels intentional from start to finish, making it an excellent choice for a special-occasion dinner in Chicago.
We opted for the vegetarian tasting menu, and honestly, every course was well executed and thoughtfully presented. The progression from playful, modern interpretations of Indian street food to richer, more comforting mains felt cohesive and well paced.
If there was one standout that truly won us over, it was the mushroom galouti éclair. It was beautifully balanced, deeply flavorful, and easily the most memorable bite of the evening. That said, the pani puri, chaat-style courses, lentil course with naan, paneer preparation, and desserts all held their own and contributed to a consistently strong experience.
What stood out most was how complete and confident the vegetarian menu felt. It didn’t come across as an afterthought but as a fully realized tasting menu built around Indian flavors, technique, and balance. While personal preferences always vary, the overall quality across courses was impressive.
Service was calm, attentive, and well paced, and the ambience felt modern and polished without being overly formal.
Overall, Indienne is a solid 4.5-star destination for vegetarians looking for a modern Indian fine-dining tasting menu in Chicago—especially for celebrations or meaningful nights out.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at this elevated Michelin-starred Indian restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable culinary experience. From start to finish, the evening showcased the perfect balance of creativity, sophistication, and genuine hospitality.
The tasting menu is an extraordinary journey through modern Indian flavors, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options that are equally exceptional. The highlights of the evening included a delicate and flavorful mushroom éclair, perfectly seared scallops with a subtle spice kick, and a playful take on pani puri that bursts with freshness. The vada was a comforting nod to tradition, while the chicken makhini offered a rich, velvety finish that was simply divine.
The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, with each course expertly explained and timed to perfection. The dining area itself is serene and modern, offering a quiet, intimate ambiance that allows the food to truly shine.
This restaurant is a rare gem, elevating Indian cuisine to new heights while honoring its roots. Whether you choose the vegetarian or non-vegetarian tasting menu, you can expect a memorable evening filled with vibrant flavors, masterful technique, and flawless service. A must-visit for any food lover looking for an extraordinary dining experience.

I went there in December for a holiday dinner. It was very expensive, but if you’re a foodie, I feel it’s something you should experience at least once. It’s a one-time experience for me. I personally don’t feel the need to go again because I wouldn’t want to spend that kind of money on the same food. They don’t change the entire menu, only a few options periodically, so the overall experience remains mostly the same.
That said, if you have a special occasion, if you’re a foodie, or if you enjoy splurging once in a while on good food and a good experience, I would say you should go. The taste was amazing, the presentation was excellent, and overall the experience felt great.
The only thing I didn’t like was the cost. It could have been a little lower. Also, if you opt for a drinks package or have drinks with the food, the bill adds up quickly. We ordered just one cocktail along with the tasting menu, and it came to around $250–$270 per head.
If you ask for my recommendation, I’d say it’s worth trying once.

Absolutely loved this place. I can’t believe it took me this long to go! Every dish was interesting and a flavor bomb in my both. My favorite was the goat cheese/mushroom/truffle bite, the scallop dish, and YES you must add on the lobster dish! You can split it with your partner if you want, instead of both getting it.
Service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was a moody, colorful, perfect date night. The dessert was not my cup of tea, but I did get a cup of tea to end the night!

Sometimes food is culinary art. A meal so beautiful and elevated it should be framed. That is the cuisine of Indienne, The menu is simply amazing, with the most important element being that it’s incredibly delicious! The Indian flavors are so unique, you close your eyes with delight as you savor each bite. Indienne deserves its Michelin Star and the price tag accompanying this progressive dining experience. Perfect for a holiday or special event, each dish is a stand out. The lamb Kebab, Lobster Ghee roast, Scallop Cafreal, Chicken Makhani and Sea Bass Curry (if you choose the Pescatarian Tasting) are dishes that will visit your dreams. The service is top notch, the environment lovely, the cocktails and wine list exceptional. So if Indian food is your love, or you simply desire something incredible, visit this upscale reimagining. You will not be disappointed.

An impeccable introduction to Indian fine dining.
To me, Indian food in the U.S. has felt stuck in the same loop. Either the chicken and curry combos you find at neighborhood spots or the frozen packs at grocery stores. Even in cities like NYC, the choices are usually traditional or hyper-regional rather than pushing into the domain of fine dining. Compared to what I’ve heard about the contemporary restaurant scene in India, the Indian food scene here feels monotone.
Indienne felt like a meaningful shift. Chef Sarkar blends Indian flavors with French technique, and while the dishes still felt familiar, they opened up an entirely new flavor spectrum for me.
They offer both vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus, and we all chose the latter. Because Indian spices can overpower easily, the kitchen held back a bit, and even on the non-veg side, the proteins were relatively conservative. But there was still plenty that felt new.
The first four bites were especially memorable. Instead of the usual savory amuse-bouche, everything leaned sweet. The dhokla might’ve been the most interesting first bite I’ve had in a fine dining setting. Almost like frozen cornbread in texture with a gentle sweetness spiced up with curry leaf and mustard. The avocado bhel was sweet and aromatic, and the yogurt chaat had this interesting temperature play that made it fun to eat.
For the later protein dishes, I found myself wanting a bit more Indian identity. Something beyond “French dish with a smear of Indian spice.” It reminded me of some contemporary Dutch restaurants that use Indian spices as accents. Good food, but not quite what I expected from an Indian tasting menu. Still, one dish blew everyone away.
The Chicken Makhni. Essentially butter chicken reimagined. Chicken mousse shaped into a breast, spiced, and cooked so the texture stayed incredibly soft while absorbing the sauce like a sponge. The result was an almost explosive umami you don’t get from traditional butter chicken. And the naan it came with was unreal. Rich, buttery, and perfect for soaking up that spicy red pepper makhni.
Desserts were the weakest section, but honestly, given the price, the meal felt more than worth it. If you’re looking to expand your sense of what Indian food can be, Indienne is absolutely worth a visit.

I went to Indienne with friends to celebrate 50th birthdays. The experience did not disappoint. Indienne delivered an exceptional dining experience with its tasting menu. The food was truly phenomenal—beautifully presented, thoughtful, and layered with bold yet refined flavors that felt both creative and rooted in tradition. Each course was memorable with different takes on recognizable dishes. While the drinks were just okay and didn’t quite rise to the same level as the food, they also didn’t detract from the overall experience. The tasting menu alone makes Indienne well worth the visit, especially for anyone who appreciates inventive, high-quality cuisine.

Party of 2 went for a celebratory meal on a Thursday evening in July. Got there around 6:30pm and we had a prior reservation for the non-vegetarian tasting menus. Friend had wine pairings with a couple of the offerings. I had some other drinks, one with vodka, and another tequila. Everything was great! I especially liked the yogurt chaat with its crisp flakes, and the dal makhni, plus the very fluffy naan that came with it. They offer you to take your bags at the counter and store them for you. The presentation is all fantastic, and they take care to explain all the meals and ingredients to you, plus are always happy to offer recommendations for drinks.

Absolutely incredible meal and service tonight at Indienne. My husband and I opted for the vegetarian tasting menu (even though we’re not vegetarians) and were completely blown away. Every course was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and packed with bold, layered flavors that surprised us in the best way.
Our server was a fantastic guide throughout the experience, explaining each dish with care and making the evening feel both elevated and approachable. The entire staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and exceptionally well taken care of.
I can’t recommend Indienne highly enough. If you’re looking for a memorable, transportive dining experience that feels like a true culinary adventure, this is it.

I dined at Indienne in Chicago and was impressed by its elegant presentation and refined Indian-French fusion approach. The tasting menu featured dishes like passion fruit pani puri and lamb chop with beautifully layered sauces—many bites were bright, inventive, and delicious. A few courses felt a bit overly delicate or lacked memorable depth compared to the standouts, but overall the flavors shone through. The experience felt special and worth the trip
