I have visited this restaurant already twice definitely repeat eatery. Food i had was tandoori mixed lamb grill which has lamb chops and lamb sheek kabab which were amazing. The meat was sooo tender and juicy. Here tandoori items are must try they taste so good. Drinks always surprises. Cocktails here are must try. Service here is very good as always, surprisingly waiter remembered us. Always ambiance pulls us to come here once again. read more

Kama - Tandoori Mixed Lamb Grill - Indian Near Me - La Grange, Illinois

If you're looking for a good Indian spot in LaGrange, look no further. The chicken and lamb appetizers are packed with flavor. The naan is perfectly warm and buttery. The only gripe I had was the music- a bit loud for my taste. A bit on the pricier side here. Aside from that, I know I'll be back here again! read more

It's one of the best Indian restaurants I've been. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. The service is awesome and ambiance is perfect. All of us shared our dishes and they were all amazing. The sea bass was one of our favorites, also the prime rib. read more

It was our first time trying the restaurant. From start to finish we had a delightful experience. Highly recommend the delicious cocktails! The food was outstanding - we had the Chicken Lemon Tadka (the sauce was incredible), goat cheese and beet salad (divine), Tikki Masala with lamb (wanted to lick the plate clean, the lamb was tender and delicious). Perfection. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Had perfect recommendations. The ambiance was perfectly matched with the style of food. Beautiful and first class all the way. We will be back and will bring friends! Fantastic job! read more

I started coming to this place when it first opened up in lagrange and loved it. Havent gone back in awhile and decided to revisit after about 7 years. The ambiance is great. Warm and inviting. The dance/modern/hiphop Indian music creates a nice vibe but it was a touch too loud. The service was great as well. Now heres the rub. There was no tandoori chicken on the menu. An indian restaurant with no tandoori chicken on the menu is almost sacrilege. Ordered the assorted chicken plate instead which was good. The butter chicken was as well but not as buttery as i would have liked. Personal taste. I ordered two orders of the buttered naan bread. One came slathered with butter and the one piece lying under it did not come with butter on it. I made a comment to the waiter and he stated that it was on there, i just couldnt see it because it tends to disappear really quickly. Smh. This isnt my first rodeo. I just grinned and shrugged it off. Regardless, the naan was pretty dry and not as good as i remembered it to be compared to the last time i was there. The samosas were ok. They seemed to be baked and not fried so the exterior was not as crunchy but very dry. The red and green chutney to go with them was good. Now, when it came to boxing the leftovers, i requested extra sauce for a leftover samosa but he wanted to charge me extra for that which i said was fine. But here is the problem i had with this. I ordered TWO orders of samosas, which meant i got 4 total but they only brought out one serving of red and green chutney. Get my drift? I should have gotten the second serving of chutney for my takeaway somosa as part of my order that was never given. I will attribute this to the waiters lapse of memory or math not being his best subject but it still did not sit well with me and shadowed my overall assessment of this restaurant experience. read more

Went to Kama for the Restaurant Week menu and it was excellent. Great service- great food.

Very good recipes & atmosphere. The quality of food was amazing. Clean bathrooms. Modern aesthetic on the inside. Owner also said hello, she was very friendly. Had: Mussels, Garlic Naan, Samosa, Lamb Chop Masal, & a Lemon Butter Chicken Masala. We also took a lemon butter chicken masala & Garlic Naan home for togo. (Our bill was maybe $160+) It was all phenomenal! read more

Fantastic restaurant. The wait staff are always friendly and helpful explaining items on their menu. The lobster bisque is to die for. Also, for a main entrée their shrimp or lobster Molly is wonderful. Lastly, they are now open on Mondays!!! That's a big deal in LaGrange, as most restaurants are closed on Mondays. read more

food is soo deliciou. the service and drinks from Kelly and Johnny were awesome. I will definitely be back. the ambianc was so nice!

Very good Indian food. They go for a bit more of an upscale vibe with prices to match, so don't expect all the same dishes you'd get on Devon in Chicago. Certainly not the prices. But for a special occasion, their foo is delicious and they do have several traditional menu items if that's more your speed. read more

In the heart of "downtown" La Grange, Kama represents all things wonderful. You want inventive craft cocktails? Got em. You want above average quality food? Generally yes. Good service? Absolutely. A few misses on food but overall a cozy, intimate and very popular place. I found samosas, naan, and their spinach paneer rather lackluster. I've had much better elsewhere and paid less for it. I actually would NOT recommend any of these dishes. The highlights were the lamb and chicken curries - probably some of the best I've ever had. The real winner was their side of okra. I know, who would've thought? Kama does an amazing job with this dish. We were talking about their okra even the next day. It's that memorable. You wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it but the flavor is fantastic. read more

The food and cocktails are delicious! My husband and I shared the lamb chops (fantastic), paneer tikka masala (good sauce), and garlic naan (soft, light, flavorful), and we enjoyed every dish. The cocktails are on par with some of the better cocktail bars in the city. Our server was super friendly and informative, and the room is nicely decorated, comfortable, and cozy. I can't wait to come back and try some more dishes and drinks! read more

We went to Kama Bistro in La Grange at referral of a friend who is was trained in Indian cuisine and has very good palate for knowing what is GREAT Indian food - and boy, was my friend right with this one. My husband and I enjoyed a terrific Valentine's Day meal of Lobster Bisque, Samosas, grilled Halibut, and stewed Lobster Tail. Our favorite was the Halibut and Bisque - but we really delighted in the robust, hand ground spices the kitchen used. We will definitely go back to Kama Bistro - and will surely try the new restaurant of same name in Wicker Park, as it is closer to our house, so wanted to see how the new place compares to La Grange next. I wish my birthday was sooner, as this will be high on my list for my big day in June! read more

The service is exceptional. The waiter was professional, warm, knowledgeable, attentive. It was fantastic service. The food was also fresh, hot, tasty, and we were not rushed thru our meal or conversation. I had lamb tikka masala. The lamb was tender but retained its flavor. I would definitely go back to this restaurant. The Naan was also perfect, tender but crispy. read more

Food is great. Loved the preparations and presentation. Took a star away because we had a reservation and they took 15 min to seat us. Then server asked us if we hav been here before? We said that it's our first time. She said that ok she will back with menu She never came back. After 20 min of waiting and trying to get attention of any other server, finally one guy came and helped us through. He was great. But that female Indian server looked at our table many times but never came back to our table or even to apologize. read more

I treated my mother, sister and niece here on Mother's Day. They had a brunch menu option which was $55 per person, but we opted out. Because we were so hungry I forgot to get pics of everything we ate, ugh. Next time. However, there will be a next time. The food was so flavorful! Everyone enjoyed their dishes. They forgot about my sister's lamb tacos, but once she got them she wasn't disappointed. The service was good given how busy they were. Besides what's pictured we also ordered Vindaloo Chicken, Malai Kofta, Black Pepper Masala with spicy prawns, and Garlic Naan. For drinks: mango martini, mango lassi, smokin' berry. I know I slipped big time on the photos ‍. Just know everything was great. read more

Love this place! Flavors are great and the spice levels get wicked if you're into that. Can't wait to go back!

I ordered chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and pudding for dessert. The food was pretty good. They have spice levels 1 thru 5. I did like the pudding. It tastes really good. The service was great! The atmosphere is beautiful and has a romantic feel to it. Reasonable prices with quick service. The chef is excellent and the menu is varied. Nice place for a smart casual sit-down dinner. read more

We love Kama! The service is always great, the food and drinks are fantastic. Will continue to return.

One of the best dining experiences I've experienced since the much chagrined closing of Wesley's Diner, nee of Crawford Avenue in east Skokie, years ago, and here is why. My beloved friend and colleague, Gulshan Swaminathan Seth, M.B. FRCP (C) was coming to town for a visit and, as much as I love and admire the guy, his epicurian selections are far too exotic for me under most circumstances. It was with great trepidation that I asked him what he wished to eat this time and he opted for Indian food. Lest the reader somehow deem me xenophobic, ethnocentric, or any one of the seemingly infinite adjectives that manifest daily from the Barnard College sociology department, my disdain of this caloric genre stems from a 1988 visit I unwittingly made to Viceroy of India on West Devon Avenue in Chicago from which the pervasive elixir of muscatel, ubathed human being, curry and necrotic tissue emanated and, as if this was not bad enough, a water bug the size of my Labrador puppy crawling up the adjacent booth did little to excite my tastebuds for anything whatsoever. The entire experience back when was as disgusting as it was surreal and I vowed never to enter such an establishment if ever I had a choice to refrain, which I did until last Saturday evening. My wife found this place and it was incredible. The milieu was beautiful, more, say, like the Black Forest or Carpathians than the Ganges or Patel Brothers Convenience Store, and the food was incredible. The service was also beyond reproach, proffered by a team of knowledge, efficient, thoughtful and kind individuals. Our waitress was articulate, thoughtful, responsive and amazingly beautiful and, although I cannot say for certain, I believe that my beloved Gulshan, after seeing this lovely young woman, scorned the day he both met, and cosummated, his relationship with his endeared Deepak, somewhere in Carmel (not Indiana), two or three years ago. The virtues of this amazing establishment can neither be overstated nor exhaustively rendered and has restored my hope in Indian cuisine, though, I am told, this "fusion" variant is what truly made the difference. While indeed the mere thought of driving past the Viceroy leaves me both terror filled and physically ill, suffice to say that, the next time I am obliged or maybe even before, I will certainly pay a visit to this amazingly wonderful establish read more

Love this place awesome I will come back with my family and friends. Good place to go fest service. Good service food was great.

The food, service and ambiance are almost always as good as you can get in the western suburbs. It's not cheap but it's worth it.

We have been here twice, both times with family and friends. The ambience is great, it is good for day or night, summer or winter. The first time we went, the group was mostly vegetarian, so that is what we ordered and we all got different cocktails on the menu. The food was very flavorful and the drinks tasted great too. Our second experience was even better. Kama bistro is known for their meat and fish dishes and we decided to try that out this time. We ordered the tandoori chicken harissa, lemon paneer tikka, paneer roganjosh and braised lamb vindaloo. All the food was simply amazing, chicken, lamb and paneer all cooked to perfection - tender and juicy and full of flavor. It was so satisfying. We ordered ajwain mirchi naan, garlic nan, butter naan and also a veggie pulav to go with out curries and all of them were on point. The servers were great both times, got our order correctly even with a large group of people and were very friendly and were giving us good suggestions too. We did order the dessert platter with gulab jamun, rasmalai and croissant ginger bread pudding, except the pudding which was a little too sweet for our taste, the desserts were delicious too. Overall, an amazing experience, and a must visit if you are in the area. read more

Very clean restaurant that seems to be taking Covid precautions. All parties were seated far apart. All employees were masked too. Food was delicious. We had the vindaloo with veggies (spicy but worth it!!), black pepper Masala and the dal makhani. The food was so flavorful. The dal may have been my favorite! Samosas- highly recommended! Service was good and the restaurant was very accommodating of a food allergy in our party and very knowledgeable of ingredients in their food. Will be back! read more

Food was delicious, no doubt. Lamb Chops had that delicious char/grilled taste to them and the masala complimented them wonderfully. I had only gotten the spiciness level to a mid-spicy level, but honestly I sense no spiciness at all. If there is a next time in the future, maximum spiciness will be added. The samosa's were big and tasty, they come 2 samosas per order. The chicken tikka was delicious as well, the sauce to pour over it complimented it very well. We also order the crunchy potato (forgot full name and no pic), but it had a "kama ketchup" which was like a spicy ketchup mix that really made the flavor pop. Also had a side of Naan stuffed with potato's and paneer. This with the masala was . Very delectable. Our waitress was a little spaced out, never brought us water refills or boxes for the take away (other waitresses assisted us with this). Otherwise a great meal. The atmosphere is nice, good lighting with real candles sticks at the tables. Music was enjoyable as well. All in all it was enjoyable. read more

My wife and I, individually, called multiple times to TRY making a dinner reservation for 6 for a Saturday night 2 weeks out. We're hosting 2 couples that live in Oak Park and Logan Square. Really embarrassing to advise our friends and offer an alternative restaurant. No one answers the phone, instead go straight to automated answering and eventually get disconnected. So, we made reservations at Turasi in Westmont. read more

Divine. I have been here a few times before, but last night my husband and I came for the Valentine's Day Special menu and we were seriously impressed! I knew it wold be fabulous, but my husband, the "Indian Food Skeptic", announced that Kama Bistro is now in his top five favorite restaurants ever! The ambiance is cozy and romantic, with deep tones and textures, and plenty of booth seating. The lighting sets a great tone for the perfect date night! The service has always been remarkable, whether it's lunch, grabbing a drink and appetizer, or Valentine's Day, like we experienced last night. Our server was Miles, and he was spot on. Carefully and enthusiastically explaining the menu, but not being overbearing. We went with the special Valentines menu and couldn't have made a better choice. The scallops were delicious as was the tuna ceviche for the appetizers. I had the braised short ribs which were lovely. I didn't try my husbands rack of lamb, but he said it melted in his mouth. The desserts were unique and just the right size. I had a lovely prosecco and my husband enjoyed his Indian beer. If you need a great date spot for dinner and cocktails, with easy parking, you can't go wrong with Kama bistro. (I will include some pictures, but don't judge my skills. Although the lighting is great for ambiance, it's not so great for food photography ;) ) read more

Honest review: ambiance is cute n really trendy. The service sucked just reminded me of bar service. Food: didnt like it reminded me of americanized indian food nothing was flavorful or conplex n things werent properly done lamb shank was the only thing that was alright but it was really tough the chocolate martini was also good Samosa: didnt like. It was greasy and extremely dry inside. The filling wasn't flavorful n the two sauces werent anything special they lacked flavor Sweet potato chat: didnt lkke that it was gonna be like a somosa chat but its sweet poatoe that is deep fried with tamarind nothing special had like a burnt bitter taste/ acidic flavor Garlic naan: this was not good was kore like a flat bread.

The food is delicious but the prices are kind of high . No buffet only ordering from the menu. I definitely recommend it.

My favorite Indian restaurant. Food always good, delivery or in restaurant. Honestly I never remember exactly what I eat, "chicken with amazing sauce"and some amazing rice and naam is probably the best description I can give. Oh, and the samosas are great too! read more

Fresh. Scratch. Creative. Unique experience. Delicious...EVERYTHING! I never thought Indian fusion was a thing, much less something that'd work, but here it makes complete sense! Samosas and taco trio was our delectable first course. Then lamb and prawn tikka masala for entree (prawn dish was the Very Best I've tasted in Life)! Indian bread pudding dessert is both unique twist, tasty and memorable. We'll be back soon! read more
