Went last night party of 6. When we lived in the area we went here often. But boy has it changed. My friend and I shared 3 vegetables options at $18 a piece. That's $60 for a few pieces of cauliflower and a ton of peas and corn. Corn? So much corn? Cheap fillers peas and corn. More peas and corn. Where were the veggies for $18 an entree? This is hyped as UPSCALE? If you like peas and corn this place is for you! Peas and corn!! read more

Food is awesome. Environment is warm and cozy. Pitas are a bit pricey for what you get. We had reservations for 4 on a Saturday evening. We had a great meal with friends. Server dropped off the check, and then we waited for about ten minutes for them to come back and run the card. About 30 seconds after that we were asked how much longer we needed the table as there were people waiting. Was an interesting topper to a great meal and experience. Not really a great sendoff. read more

Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Tip: If you sit close to their windows, you'll walk out a bit less smelly lol read more

The food presentation,spices, and lounge environment was spot on! Highly recommend folks to visits! read more

Went here with my hubby last night for date night and we were initially thrown by how hard it is to find parking, it was almost like being in Chicago. They do have valet service though, but we aren't fans of using valet. When we entered we were greeted warmly by the hostesses and promptly seated. The restaurant smelled of Indian spices!! Ambiance is nice, almost city-like - modern/contemporary. It's not a typical Indian restaurant with beige walls and elephant decor everywhere. Our waitress was friendly, almost talked too much, but she was knowledgeable. All the staff was very efficient, plates were cleared right away, drinks were refilled without asking. In a restaurant like this, I always expect it to be "americanized" not quite authentic, but still close enough. I would rate this as upscale slightly "americanized" Indian food. I say this because this is the first time that I have been to an Indian restaurant that served Sockeye Salmon with roasted potatoes and mango chutney .... see my point? We ordered the Samosas, the green sauce made it very tasty. My husband ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala spicy. He liked it, they have a rating system and went for a 7 on spicy but he could have gone 8 or 9 easily. My salmon was great, eat the skin as fast as possible when it's crispy otherwise it gets mushy and gross. We also ordered a side of garlic naan. It was good, I've just has better... We also ordered the yogurt parfait for dessert and that was a lovely light ending to a pretty delicious meal. Overall, I would come back ... I would bring friends here who want to try Indian Food for the first time slowly get them into loving the spices that they use for their food. read more

One star for the incredibly made gin sour, even though it was insanely overpriced, this ain't New York yo, you're in an ugly suburb. Saag Paneer was one of the worst I've ever had, watery without flavor, sans spice of any kind. Rude combative big girl waitress. Wouldn't come back, even though it had a nice decor. read more

I want to thank Kama Bistro, especially Anand and Daveed, for taking good care of our large group. The food was excellent! Anand helped me craft the menu for our group. The Chicken Lemon Tadka and the mussels were his recommendations and they were delicious and were great additions to what we already ordered. Daveed was attentive throughout our dinner. We highly recommend and we'll be coming back for more. Thank you. read more

Food was absolutely amazing. Full of flavor. Our server David was the best! Very hospitable and gave excellent food recommendations.

Everything is excellent. I was so happy with the food quality and service. Such a great ambience here as well.

Food was terrific. Service was prompt, attentive, but never overbearing. Drinks were delicious. Highly recommend the chicken tikka masala.

Amazing food. Spice level adjusted per your need. Highlights: paneer chili appetizer the best I have had in states. All other vegetables were great. Really good food, it's a little on the expensive side but worth the quality. read more

Kama - From left to right, kadai paneer, malai kofta, dal makhani, panned and aloo stuffed naan, wheat roti - Indian Near Me - La Grange, Illinois

Came here after seeing that other Yelpers tend to recommend this place. They're not wrong. Parking is available in front (inclined parking), though there aren't too many spaces. The interior is quite cozy, and would make a great date place. The tables aren't too large, so I would recommend no more than 4-5 people in your group. Aloo gobi - nice and neutral tasting (other places normally make this too salty). You can really taste the cauliflower and subtle flavourings, though there was a bit too much oil. Other than that, it was beautiful. Lamb curry - a bit too salty, but nothing a bit of basmati rice couldn't fix. Meat was also a bit dry (overcooked?) Vegetable curry - this is the one thing that Indian cooking always gets right. You really don't miss the meat at all. For drinks, i had the chai tea and lassi. The chai was decent, but there wasn't enough of a kick (other places I've been to normally included some ginger). Also, the cup was medium sized but could be a bit bigger, and it wasn't served hot enough at all. If you're the owner, please see if you can change these things. The lassi was excellent. Just the right amount of sweetness, and you really can taste the natural mango. Decent fine Indian dining is definitely a bit tough to find, but this place gets my praise. Recommended. read more

My dinner was delicious. I ordered carry out because I was the only one eating. my eyes were bigger than my stomach, but I was so happy with my choices. the paneer tikka masala was so yummy with just the right amount of spice. I ordered medium. the garlic naan had a wonderful chew. I'll have to eat my samosas with chutney tomorrow. I'm so full. thank you for such a fantastic dinner. mmmmmm read more

One of my favorite restaurants, I've ordered from this restaurant more times than any other throughout the pandemic. I really enjoy the Malai Kofta (vegetarian potato/paneer balls in a cashew cream curry) and the lemon tadka paneer app. I love the lemon tadka app so much, I've tried to figure out how to make it myself - and I'm still scratching my head! It's SOOOO good, it wows everyone who tries it. Recently, I tried the coconut curry (I'm a huge thai fan as well, and I have thai coconut curries often), and again - baller AF. I luck out as my husband tells me to order for him "whatever I think he will like" so I've pretty much now crafted my ideal menu that I could sustain on for the rest of my life. A lot of restaurants in the area, I judge as "good for this area" - not good compared to Chicago restaurants. Kama Bistro is good Indian food, exclamation mark. read more

Whenever I'm in town, I make a point of dining at Kama. The food is really, really good.

The food is awesome and they have wonderful rewards program. It is our favorite Indian restaurant!

We came here for dinner tonight for my mother's 70th birthday celebration and I am sorry to say it was one of the worst experiences we have ever had at a restaurant. The food was incorrect recipes and service was poor and we had missing items. Terrible. I'm sorry to say we have sent a bunch of friends here and we will never be returning. read more

so amazing!! we loved everything. the black pepper dishes were our favorite but the drinks also really stood out. a really good guava mocktail read more

Overrated, food made me sick, it's the butter they use, Always take a smell and a small taste before hitting it hard. Basically all the remodeling goes back to the consumers. Honeymooners love it. Sit at the bar, drink Jameison and Beer and you will be straight. Drinks are great, food is well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, subpar.... Truth and that's my story....,,. read more

It's our favorite Indian restaurant. We love the atmosphere and the food is fantastic! We have been back several times and will continue to return. read more

This is our go to place for great Indian food! The ambiance is great! The service is awesome, great welcoming atmosphere!

The best Indian food I have had in Illinois. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. This place is top notch! read more

Extremely disappointing food. Ordered on UberEATS - a very simple order of pudhina paratha, garlic naan, kadai paneer and raita. Paneer was raw, oily and flavorless. Both breads were undercooked. Raita was extremely tart. Food was so bad, we had to discard after a few bites. Had been to this joint in-person a year ago and had a much better experience. Very disappointed with this experience. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Excellent food, great service ordered: -Mixed chicken grill -Tikka Masala-Chicken -Vindaloo "delicious" -Rice and garlic Naan Enjoyed experience, bit pricey on the drinks. read more

One of my favorite restaurants! Absolutely gorgeous restaurant and amazing drinks. Service is 10/10 on point with everything. Thank you KAMA

I've been wanting to try this place out for some time now and I'm so glad I did. I went with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday. We were greeted at the entrance and seated immediately after confirming our reservation. There was a good amount of people dining there. The music they played there was down tempo genre. I enjoyed listening to it whilst waiting for our waitress. The menu has a decent amount of food options. For starters we both shared the chicken malai in creamy lemon sauce. We truly loved it! For my entree I ordered the Chicken Makhani / Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Ginger Turmeric Roots Lemonade with Fresh Mint. My boyfriend ordered the same thing plus Nutella Naan. Our waitress made sure to ask how spicy we wanted our entree. She paid great attention to the details! We both loved our meals. The sauces they use are flavorful and mouth watering! We truly loved our lemonade. The flavor was very refreshing. The Nutella Naan was to die for! It can be eaten as dessert, in my opinion. Overall, we enjoyed our visit there. We definitely plan to go again! read more

This is a wonderful place to eat with friends or a romantic date. The service is decent but the food makes up for it. It is Indian fusion but the taste is delicious. The environment is warm and dimly lit providing an excellent experience. read more

I was really excited to try this place. Being from brownland, any fusion of Indian cuisine really interests me and I'm always pumped to experience new flavors. Came here with a friend. We started with the Mussels Curry and the Chicken Tikka. The Mussels Curry was especially unique. I can say I have never tasted something quite like it before. Really tasty and the naan when dipped into the broth was amazing. The Chicken Tikka was cooked to absolute perfection. Really wish there was an entree version of this with many more pieces like we have in Pakistan. For mains, we ordered the Goat Dum Biryanj, Lamb Chops Masala and the Seafood Mixed Grill. The biryani was one of the better ones I've had in America, though I felt the goat could have been seasoned a bit better. The Lamb Chops were tender but a bit underwhelming flavor wise. The seafood however was spectacular. It was a mixture of Halibut, Seabass and the one of the most incredible prices of tiger Prawn I have ever tasted. Really floored me. We both had salt lassis to drink, no complaints there. For desert we had kulfi which was also pretty good but can't say blew my mind. Overall another excellent Indian fusion restaurant - with some exceptional dishes but nothing really that won this brown boy's heart for good. read more

First time here and everything was excellent! The ambience and decor is perfect and the food was outstanding. Spend the extra money on the Halibut Kerala curry, it's phenomenal! Highly recommend. read more

I don't really like to rate a restaurant on the first visit, but I've been eating Indian food for many years and the Vindaloo I ordered was a major disappointment, so bad, that I will never order from this restaurant again, what kind of an Indian restaurant doesn't know how to make vindaloo? In addition to being the worst vindaloo I've ever had, it was pretty expensive for the very small container that I received. read more

I walked in there with my gorgeous girlfriend . We were then seated next to each other shoulder to shoulder . We then waited 20 minutes and were ignored by multiple waiters, not even getting water . The last straw was another couple walking in and getting instantly served . They totally discriminated me and my girlfriend . read more

We ordered the lamb shank vindaloo, the tandoori fish, and the chicken lemon tadka, plus some naan. Each of these plates was incredible with very different and bold flavors. We already have plans to go back for some of the specials they have, like tandoori Tuesday. The tadka was especially good, and I could have it for every meal. We went during restaurant week, so service was a bit slow, but not bad. The drinks were also very good and were very unique. They do have more traditional dishes, but seem to be known for more experimental and modern takes on traditional Indian food. The restaurant and music were very fun, and the bar is a cool place to hang out. If you are looking for a twist on your favorite Indian dishes, definitely try Kama. read more

A recent invite to this restaurant reminded me that I needed to update my review since I no longer support them. As far as food goes, they are one of the best in the burb and service in the restaurant was always tops; however, their customer support leaves something to be desired. Long story short, I won a contest of theirs a few years ago and they never gave me the $25 gift card. They'd posted a contest on their Instagram account and promoted it on Facebook, too. I took the time to submit a thoughtful entry, but I ended up being the only contestant. The deadline passed and I waited patiently to be contacted. When that didn't happen, I reached out to them and they said they'd be announcing the winner soon. That didn't happen and I tried again. They said the same thing, which essentially extended it an additional month. Time passed and nothing happened. I attempted to contact them a few more times but they stopped responding. When they eventually went as far as to remove any mention of the contest from their IG account and took down most posts about it on FB, I knew I'd likely never hear from them again. What makes this especially odd is that back in the day they hosted a Yelp Elite Event and showered us with food and drinks. I even went to a number of UYEs here and gave them business for Yelp Drinks and La Grange Restaurant Week. They've offered a few discount vouchers via Groupon and I remember we often left with complimentary gift cards for future visits, as well. We came in when there weren't any promotions, too. They always went above and beyond for us, which was much appreciated but never expected. I just don't get it. Considering all the times they threw free things our way for practically no reason, I find it strange that they actively avoided paying out on such a small prize and took extra steps to try and cover it up. It's shady. read more

My Friend(Adon) has been bugging me to try this place for quite sometime as she works there. I finally managed to get some company to try the Sunday buffet and wondered why I dint try this place earlier. Not that My friend works here but this place is an AWESOME spot to try Indian Cuisine.Hands Down for the Samosa,Fish Curry,Keema Balls,Ras Malai (Dessert) ,Mango Lassi And Garlic Naan.Rest of the items were pretty tasty except KHEER(Rice Pudding) They have a good cocktail menu too. Tried 2 of them and they were DAMN GOOD. Adon(Tina) is an amazing server and she took time to explain about each dish on the buffet to my friends and made awesome cocktails. Pros: ------ DELICIOUS FOOD Great Ambience(Halloween Theme now) Buffet has Good Spread. Indian Street Food(Samosa,Pani puri & Pakora) Quick Service Free Street Parking Patio Seating(Summer Time) Clean RestRooms 2 min walk from La Grange Metro Station Cons: ------- Nothing I could think of. I would definitely return to this place and try their a al carte . If you are around here and want to try Indian this is THE PLACE.Step In with out a doubt and this would not disappoint read more

The food, service, and ambiance is incredible at Kama. I brought a large group of my students to experience a variety of Indian foods and they served us an incredible meal. Everything was delicious, they accommodated dietary needs, and my students thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you! read more

Delicious. Our waiter was so helpful as to what we should order because we were clueless!

First time trying Indian food. Tikka Masala was so flavorful with the medium heat not being overbearing. Slightly pricey for portion but well worth it. read more

I suggest never ordering from this place. Kama bistro has screwed up our orders numerous times. We decided to try them again on New Year's Eve and when we saw the order was canceled for some reason we called and they would not accommodate a new order over the phone stating they "were too busy". We consider this poor management and poor customer service. read more

I used to love Kama Bistro, for years, before it moved to the new , larger location. Went for an early dinner there yesterday. I don't live in the area any more, so we made a point to drive 1hr from the city and go for dinner at our favorite Indian restaurant in Chicago area. The waitress was rushing us, came multiple times while we were eating, and pushy till the very end .. felt rushed the entire time and the restaurant was empty as it was 5 pm. We ordered 2 things off the menu that we never ordered before - a potato appetizer and a vindaloo. Both so ridiculously hot (spicy) that my husband and I are still hurting today. It burned all my buds and my stomach lining! And there was no warming from the waitstaff. They tried to dilute the sauce, but it was so spicy that nothing helped! My husband eats a whole jalapeño pepper with no problem, but even he couldn't take it! I am not exaggerating- brough some of the leftovers home and added a ton of yogurt sauce and rice - still inedible! I am not sure who would order this, but if it stays on the menu - some serious warnings were needed. And the staff - this is where they should focus on - the food, not coming 5 times to offer more beer and take plates away while we are eating! read more

Went for lunch , the food was very good, the chicken makhani was so moist and flavorful. Enjoyed the aloo gobi and garlic naan. Mocktail was delicious and the ice cream was a treat! Nice vibe. Will definitely go back. read more
