Elegant Indian Dining on Devon Ave

  • Daily Lunch Buffet
  • Exquisite Catering Menu
  • Authentic Indian Cuisine

The large menu features dishes from India and Pakistan, with several tandoor specialties, including marinated lobster and lamb chops. Kadhai gosht, a mildly spiced dish of boneless lamb cooked in an iron wok with tomatoes, onions and garlic, is a house specialty, as is the raan-e-khyber , a whole leg of lamb marinated in almond paste, yogurt and saffron and roasted in the tandoor. There are several vegetarian options, including the tandoor sabzi, which is a combination platter of marinated vegetables that are roasted in the tandoor oven.

Editorial Review for The Indian Garden – by J.P. Anderson

The Scene
If you're not familiar with Devon Avenue dining, Indian Garden is a good place to start. With four locations around the city, they're used to dealing with non-natives, and service is friendly and patient. The room is narrow and bright, with yellow walls and exotic prints and paintings. The crowd is a subdued mix of locals and visitors craving curry.

The Food
Indian Garden's extensive menu abounds with classics for vegetarians and carnivores alike--hearty, filling samosas stuffed with potatoes and green peas; vegetable fritter pakora; and lamb, chicken and seafood specialties whose flavors range from subtle to seriously hot. Chicken tikka masala is pleasantly mild, chunks of chicken folded into a creamy tomato sauce. Like spicy? Try the lamb or chicken vindaloo, but beware--the menu calls its sauce "fiery," and that's an understatement. Cool off your mouth not with water, but with a big hunk of naan.

The tasteful decor, the excellent service, and especially the FOOD make Indian Garden one of my favorite restaurants for a long, conversational lunch or a romantic dinner. The samosas are the best anywhere, and every dish I've ever tried has become my favorite. It might be difficult to choose between the many restaurants on Devon, but Indian Garden stands out for its friendliness, consistency, and quality.
