This comfortable Indian restaurant fits into the neighborhood's upscale scene with white tablecloths and waiters in formal attire. The traditional menu lists a whopping 145 items, but most lunchtime diners don't even peek--they're here for the buffet.

Another example of how Chicago fails in Indian cuisine
by jimbrewer2221 at Citysearch
Chicago is one of the worst cities in the U.S., I am convinced for Indian food. And India House is just another example to illustrate the point. This is boring, uninspired cuisine that lacks depth of flavor. I strongly urge the owners of India house to buy round trip tickets to New Delhi, India, and visit Swagath Restaurant in Defense Colony. This is Indian cuisine executed at its finest. It's time for Indian restaurant owners to break away from the typical, overdone, and simplistic versions of Indian food served all over Chicago. Do something different and give Indian food the respect it deserves! Visit Swagath, I beg you... and you will see how far you fall short of greatness.
- Pros: nice space
- Cons: Average, uninventive cuisine
