Kama - West Loop offers a modern take on Indian cuisine in a fun and energetic atmosphere. The ambience is beautiful and vibrant, though the music can become quite loud as the space fills, making conversation a challenge. It is considered a great choice for both date nights and larger groups.
Reviews of the food present a mix of strong praise and some disappointment. Many find the food delicious and next-level amazing, calling it the best Indian food in Chicago. Specific highlights include the soft and delicious naan, tasty cheese kulcha, flavorful appetizer tacos, juicy barbacoa, amazing butter chicken, insanely flavorful chaat, and loved saag. The soft, pillowy ravioli in a creamy sauce also receives top marks. However, some dishes receive criticism: the saag burrata is noted as a huge disappointment for being salty with weird spices, the lamb shank can be a bit too salty, the masala chai tiramisu misses the mark, and the fried potato app is deemed not worth the price. The menu is described as very heavy overall, with a wish for lighter options and for richer dishes to automatically include rice.
The service is frequently described as impeccable, excellent, friendly, attentive, and kind, with staff members noted for making the experience memorable. The cocktail selection is good and the drinks are fantastic and cute. While some find the experience amazing and highly recommend the restaurant, others feel the food can be inconsistent, with some items just "meh" compared to high expectations. The restaurant is also recommended for vegetarians, offering plenty of options.
