I asked for mild but they sent very spicy food. Both the butter chicken and the taki masala were extremely oily.

The south side of Chicago is a bit of a food desert for high quality ethnic food or even good…read morerestaurants. I visit family a few times a year and have struggled to find reliable places (or really any), especially for Thai and Indian. Well, this new restaurant changes all of that. The food is delicious, and very fresh. It has some unique flavor profiles but they are more complex than expected. I got the Lamb Vindaloo and it had a more rich and interesting mix of ingredients than I have found elsewhere. One good test too is if you feel good afterwards as some places use oils instead of onions for the base. This place passes on all fronts. The rice and naan were decent as well. I was told that the spice index was (2=mild, 5=medium, 7=hot). I ordered a 6 and it was pleasantly spicy/hot. I have a feeling that 7 is "white guy hot" and if you really like it spicy and can handle ethnic levels of spice, 8-10 is probably there for you if requested. The place was basically empty and other reviewers have mentioned how quiet it is. I came on Monday night and it had been raining, so I wasn't expecting much of a crowd. A few takeout drivers came in. The service was excellent and friendly and informative. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. It is very basic/functional with a little bit of decoration. Lots of seating. The south side doesn't have a lot of great buildings with character and many are more "strip mall" like, and I can appreciate that it would be a bit hard to make it look that great. Overall a definite 5 stars and I will come back again in the future.

Very friendly and welcoming staff and took a lot of time explaining the various food options and…read moregood pairings. A very laid back family atmosphere with plenty of seating. The food was so fresh and flavorful and the portions were large enough to share and take home leftovers. I will definitely return.

Listen to me, I've driven by this place so many times and wondered what's really good to eat here…read more Most of the time I was intimidated by the traffic here, and how cramped it can seem - but let me tell you, the food is WORTH IT, man! Just the bowl of lamb broth pre-meal is worth an hour of wait. I DREAM OF THAT BROTH, it was that good. I wanted to seek out the chef, and kiss his/her hands, but I don't have bail money, so I didn't. Their grilled fish was also to die for; booked through perfectly, and juicy, with a bunch of beautifully caramelized seasoning giving it a scrumptious yet delicate flavor. Baba Ghanoush can be had as a main, versus a side, the portion is aplenty, and the flavor is top notch; I prefer my ghanoush more chunky, but this is creamy and satisfying too! Overall, thoroughly satisfied, this is the kind of meal that will have you hating yourself for not getting here sooner! Go try it now..... it's not just about Yemeni Coffee, the food is amazing too!

Small place run as a new startup by amateurs. Need to be run more professional. Very bare…read morefurnished, though food prices are comparable with a good Restraunt. Yemani Adni tea was good, but unfortunately was pre mixed with sugar - no other choice was possible. Appetizer of a breaded chicken Sandwitch was OK, the hummus left a lot to be desired. Only Lamb Mandi was good. Chicken Biryani was too oily. Could not understand the freshly made dessert of dates, cream and others. Service was with a smile. Staff was accommodating. I will give it another try after they have run the place for a few months and hopefully improved.

The hail and wind raged around me as the flood waters rose. I had already picked up the order and…read moredriven to the customer's neighborhood. It was flooded and still flooding. There was no way I was going to be able to find a way through. I was on the phone with support when I dipped into a gully so deep that the water splashed over my moon roof. The chatbot spoke again, "I understand that you are having difficulties with a drop-off. Please describe your situation so that I can get you to the right department?" Just then, the customer cancelled. Whew! I had spent over half an hour in the extreme weather just trying to access their street. An easy forty minutes before that driving from the restaurant... then the thirty on the phone with support while searching for high ground. The order was undeliverable. Long story short (I know...it's too late for that): 1. I made it home 2. The butter chicken is excellent

Within a couple minutes they provided a complimentary mango lassi for our toddler because he was on and off fussy, which was very kind of them! We ordered the following: - Hakka noodles with chicken - 4/5, noodles should be thicker imo - Chicken kadai - 5/5 great flavor - Rogan Josh - 5/5, probably my favorite in the burbs so far - Tandoori chicken - 5/5 great flavor - Chicken tikka - 5/5, in general not my favorite fish but my toddler was destroying these - Chicken kebab - 5/5, I think it was chicken but not positive. Either way one of my fav dishes in general - daal makhani - 4/5, tasted good but normally not a fan Most of the above came with the chefs dinner special, I forgot what it was called - but it cost $28 for 1 person and it was a good spread! Fed two people more like it. Nice decor and ambiance, I would recommend you eat here!

This is our second time coming to Kama, and yes, it's still as incredible as the first time... The…read moredim lighting, intimate atmosphere, and cozy feel already had me knowing I was in for another great experience. The place was packed, and our server was amazing and walked us through the menu. We ordered the Chicken Makhani, The Mixed Lamb Grill and garlic naan. When the food came out it looked beautiful and it smelled even better. But the first bite is what got me. The sauce of the Makhani was rich, creamy and with this deep tomato flavor. I tasted the fenugreek and that warm garam masala right away. It has a steady heat that lingered in the best way. Sweet and a little smoky all at once. The chicken was super tender and juicy with that char on the edges that adds so much flavor and cuts through the creaminess of the sauce. We also had the Mixed Lamb Grill, and the lamb chops were probably my favorite part. They were incredibly tender and juicy, with a good amount of fat around the edges that practically melted in my mouth. The lamb had a rich flavor along with a smoky char from the grill. The outside had a little bit of that grilled crust while the inside stayed soft. The melted fat gave it this buttery richness that made every bite even better. This was my second time here, and now I remember exactly why I wanted to come back. I'll definitely be returning again!

Unfortunately, Kama was not a favorite for North Indian cuisine. Pickup was relatively fast and was…read morewell packed! Pindi chana - spice had a kick with lots of garam masala added, slightly oily Paneer tikka masala - tasted very tomato-y and gravy was thinner than usual, paneer cubes were large Paneer tikka masala - grilled but tasted quite burnt and did not see any yogurt, green chutney helped nominally but was looking for a mix of more vegetables also Rice portion was substantial! May have just ordered the wrong dishes.
