Great Indian restaurant.

Great Indian restaurant.

We went on a very busy saturday night after freezing our a$$s off and walking from Woodfield mall.

After being told that the wait is over 1/2 hours for the main dining room, we thought it would be even better to sit in the bar area where we could watch the Indian Tv to some smooth beats. But after 10 mins of wait we miraculously got a table.

Service was great, very attentive and not too distracting. The food is amazing. The Chicken Tikka masala and the Tandoori Shrimps were very fresh and flavorful. Decor is romantic with dimmed lights . Not to expensive either, appetizer, drinks and 2 entrees came up to less than $70.

I love love love love love this place. I've been here for dinner and lunch and am never disappointed. I dont know what they put in the food that makes it taste so good. EXCELLENT! Dessert is good too!

Gaylord among Chicago's Best Indian, But that doesn't Mean It's Very Good

by Juwalanth at Citysearch

It is a well known fact that Chicago is one of the worst big cities for Indian Cuisine. Typical, uninventive, north indian fare is recycled in restaurant after restaurant, with too much oil and not enough flavor. Compared to D.C. or L.A., chicago ranks quite poorly in terms of sophistication and artistry in representation of Indian Cuisine. Consider a real gem, Swagath in New Delhi's Defense Colony, and you will realize that Indian cuisine can be truly remarkable and brilliant. Swagath recently received a 5 star review by the New York Times for the amazing indian cuisine of Jayaram Banan. Every dish we ordered was exemplary when we visited last year. I wish Chicago had great Indian cuisine like Swagath. Gaylord is one of the better Indian restaurants in Chicago, maybe (in my estimation, the best). But it is nothing compared to the Indian fare you receive in other areas of this country. I highly recomment the owners of Gaylord buy a ticket to Delhi and try Swagath. Do yourselves a favor, and see how far you fall short of greatness.

• Pros: Best Indian restaurant in Chicago, but that is not saying much
• Cons: Far from extraordinary
