Utterly fantastic across the board. Sam, and everyone else in the front, was on point and I appreciated the detailed explanations of dishes and drinks. The food itself was almost humorous in its twists. I'm generally not a fan of Indian food in restaurants as I'm internally comparing to home cooking; this was sublime though and I'm sure I'll be back. In particular, the Morel Manti, see the photo, was the single meatiest vegetarian dish I've ever had.

Food was interesting. Service was very technical, and I can understand how that style could be compelling for some people, but it was a little off for me.

Really cool concept with a fully vegan menu option. I loved how they added creative twists to traditional Indian dishes — everything felt refined and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is super fancy and definitely great for a special occasion. I also did the non-alcoholic pairing with each course, which was really well thought out and complemented the flavors perfectly. Highly recommend booking the vegan tasting menu if you want a unique fine-dining experience in Chicago.

Food was excellent, but all in all quite lackluster compared to other one Michelin star restaurants in Chicago. Particularly when accounting for price, I would say this is the least impressive and worst value Michelin starred restaurant I have visited in Chicago. Wait staff was very polite, but there was a clear degree of confusion and disorganization you would not expect at a restaurant of this caliber. Similarly, there was a coldness at the host/hostess counter that you would not expect at a restaurant like this.

I rarely leave reviews for restaurants, but I can't pass the chance to express my appreciation for how incredible Indienne is. I am still on a high from my dinner! This was the best dining experience of my life. The food was innovative and bursting with flavor. The service was top notch. My sister in law is pregnant and our server proactively went through the menu in detail to ensure she was okay with the ingredients. We walked away very full and happy. The manager also obliged our request for pictures. This is fine dining done perfectly! Run don't walk!

Michelin Star Indian inspired vegan or vegetarian (or meat) tasting menu, in Chicago! If you don't know what a tasting menu is, it is where you have a bunch of small courses and spend a long time. It is not cheap, or fast. Typically you'll see interesting ingredients and some cutting edge techniques. I would have appreciated more of an explanation about the courses, both about ingredients and techniques from the servers, I think it heightens the meal and this isn't eating out as part of an evening, this is dinner as THE EVENT. Some tasting menus I've had were like 12-14 courses, this one was about half that, although I haven't done very many tasting menus. For us it is for a very special occasion, but expect to spend a couple of hours and at least a couple hundred dollars (before tip) per person.
We went with the vegetarian menu with the wine pairing (not the fancy wine pairing) and went for the two plus ups. I haven't experienced a tasting menu with plus ups (aka an extra course for an additional price) but I'm no expert. Consistent with other tasting menus, some things were mind blowingly awesome and I wanted more and some things... well... no regrets. The two plus ups were probably the standouts, so I'm glad we did them but that did add $ to the meal.
I don't know if we set the pace wrong, but we were often still finishing the wine from one course when the next course would arrive, which led to us drinking faster than normal, and feeling it. I don't know if this is because we had an early seating and they wanted to make sure our table was free, or maybe it was on us. So my advice is to not let yourself feel rushed.
Would I do it again, yes. Soon, no. Pretty sure the bill was over $600 for two people. For my budget this is like a once every other year kind of meal. Overall not a revelation, but a very good meal and great experience.

Truly amazing experience - if one word to say it also, flavor ... each dish bursting with flavor in a rational progression with surprises and delights along the way. The wine service was spectacular as well.

Very unique dishes were served and the presentation is top notch. The servers were all very friendly and the drink recommendations they made were on par. I really enjoyed the drinks. I prefer to have some spice with my food so this was an okay place for me. I had the non-vegetarian tasting menu. I enjoyed the appetizers on the menu. Great place to celebrate a milestone!

Lobster ghee roast and scallops were fire. Dal was amazing. Great masala chai. This spot snapped
Amazing food and service. I'm the type of person who typically orders Chicken Tikka Masala every single time I get Indian food but I was so impressed by the range and variety and complexity of flavors here. Really interesting interpretations of Indian food, beautiful presentations. Service is fun and friendly while also being helpful and professional. Cocktails are especially innovative and interesting while still being delicious. Would go back any day

What a fantastic experience. Great Indian food served in style. Preserving all of the authentic flavors while blending it with excellent presentation and brilliant wine pairing makes it worthy of its Michelín rating .

One of the few Michelin star restaurants I've gone back to within a year of going the first time. The food is incredible, but what really stands out is the service. This staff is just above and beyond in terms of how warmly they engage with you while also providing elite execution. I will continue to tell all my friends to go here if they haven't been yet -- it makes a special occasion feel that much more special.
