Indienne

Go to Indienne. Now. Sujan Sarkar has created a masterpiece that delivers a truly unique Indian dining experience in Chicago and is going to create waves in the months (and years) to come. Indienne raises the bar on innovation, fusing European techniques with Indian cuisine to create dishes such as the Mushroom Galauti, the Chicken Terrine, and the Rasmalai Anglaise. However, it remains faithful to its roots by serving authentic Dal Makhni (one of the best I've had in the US). The experimentation will always be subject to differing opinions and some criticism - all dishes may not find fancy with everyone. Nonetheless, the experience will still wow you with its meticulous attention to detail and marvellous plating of dishes. The presentation was top class, the ambience was perfect, the service was excellent, the cocktails were fantastic. We did the tasting menu, and i really enjoyed the Passion Fruit Pani Puri, the Yogurt Chat, Chicken Malai Tikka, and the Black Dairy Dal. But it was the Rasmalai Air that totally blew my mind - the foam was so unique but somehow still captured the core experience of having Rasmalai. In my opinion, Indian Accent was always in a league when it came to creating a unique Indian dining experience. With Indienne, i believe we have a real formidable peer (dare i say equal?) that shows potential to be the star of Chicago's Indian dining scene. Highly recommend!

Celebrating my birthday at Indienne in Chicago, particularly during their Diwali dinner special, was an experience I'll cherish. The restaurant's ambiance was both sophisticated and welcoming, setting a delightful stage for the evening. The special event was marked by a six-course non-vegetarian tasting menu, each dish more impressive than the last. The standout for me was the Chicken Tikka Terrine - a dish that masterfully reinvented a classic with its unique flavors and textures, making it my favorite of the night. The service at Indienne was exceptional. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness added a personal touch to my birthday celebration, making me feel truly special. Their knowledge about each dish enhanced our dining experience, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of the meal. Each course was not just a dish but a work of culinary art, presented with care and finesse. This attention to detail in both food and service made my birthday dinner memorable. In conclusion, dining at Indienne for my birthday was a remarkable experience. The combination of delicious food, particularly the Chicken Tikka Terrine, and the excellent service, made it an ideal choice for celebrating a special occasion. I highly recommend Indienne to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Chicago.

Wow, just wow. I was truly surprised how incredible the tasting menu was. Chef Sarkar found a way to preserve authentic flavors of India and transform them into beautiful French packages. The service was perfect and the cocktails were tasty and unique. A rare gem in Chicago.
