    This is a great place for conversation and great food. The wait staff senses when you need time to talk and is not at all pushy. Nice music and not too loud. Very reasonable for downtown prices. Highly recommend.

    Great food! Service was a bit slow but they were dealing with a slew of take out orders. Would definitely go again!

    Everything was excellent. However, my friend and I are old and didn't know there was an elevator, so we both walked up (bad knees). I asked the host who told me someone had to unlock the door to get to the elevator and to wait. We waited and waited and waited. It was like we became invisible. After about 15 minutes we finally asked for more help. Five minutes later they finally unlocked the door. Also, the valet parking is across the street with very poor signage. Other than that, this restaurant is really good.

    We've eaten at this restaurant for more than ten years now whenever we're in Chicago (which is 3-4 times a year). I feel that the Indian Garden has really deteriorated in quality over the last year+. I traditionally order a lamb dish, and in the lamb I had last night in the saag was VERY fatty...repulsively so. I've resolved after 2 quite bad experiences in a row at this restaurant that I am done patronizing it. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in Chicago, and I feel it's time to move on from the Indian Garden.
