Eating at Indienne. BEST Indian Restaurant in America?
I eat at and review the original Chicago location of Indienne, which is located in the city’s River North neighborhood. Indienne serves progressive Indian cuisine and is one of only four Indian restaurants in the US with a Michelin Star. Indienne is helmed by Chef Sujan Sarkar, who is originally from Kolkata. The restaurant offers multiple tasting menus with reasonable prices for a starred establishment.

Having dinner with my son (and daughter) is always one of my favorite things. Beautiful dinner!
I loved this video. ❤ I am glad you truly enjoyed yourself as far as the menu, but I really love you again brought your dad. What a special memory!!
Great video James you never see Lobster in a India Restaurant there used to be a great India Restaurant in Pittsburgh PA called Star Of India they had this huge prawn roasted IT was almost like a small Carribean lobster tail but they closed the owner went back to India Have You seen movieThe Hundred Foot Journey about an India cook who workshis way for a Michelin Star excellent movie
I will Be going to Chicago in July for work Will try Indienne looks really good!
The deserts looked really good beyond Gular and rice puddingon Some on Michelin star restaurants
Thanks for another great video!
The best part, was that you had another opportunity to spend time withyour dad.
the bread supplement is probably difficult to produce. That's my guess, anyway.
I still Bungalow seem😅better
Glad that you were able to visit your parents and it is always to see Dad. Well done! Pricy splurge on a special dinner. 🎉
At those prices I'll stick to my local $16 Indian lunch buffet.
Excellent video. Your appetite in beyond compare. I always love that you show us the empty plates after each item.
Good Lord – $500 for Indian food for two? I get that it's a Michelin star, but seriously. If you want authentic Indian food, there's probably other options and for way less. No thanks.
No matter how expensive it was, the moment you had with your dad is priceless.
One of the most expensive meals I’ve seen you share! Agree with the bread comment! Hopefully they change that!
What a cool thing to do with your Dad and you Both deserve a $540 night out!!!
Precious memories ❤️
Food looks Amazing!
One of the few cuisines where we in the UK have a marked advantage over the US, at least in terms of numbers. 8 in London alone (7 1* and 1 2*), though for my birthday I'm opting for the other 2* here, Opheem in Birmingham (which I've wanted to go to since it got its first star). Indian restaurants do vegetarian tremendously well, given its prevalence back home. Looked good, but I'd probably opt for another type of cuisine when visiting the US as it's so well represented back home.
They just opened in nyc as well
Nice Seiko SNK809 u got there..u got good taste in watches too.
Video starts at 2:35
Sorry to say, but you had French food with Indian flavours. Even the name "Indienne" is French feminine word for indian (masculine: Indien, feminine: Indienne).
love your videos man! can't wait for you to try Brazilian cuisine and our michelin restaurants
Great review, James,
Thank you for your time and work!!
Glad you had a great meal with your Dad!
Watching this after eating a cookie, slices of parm, and a bowl of strawberries for lunch 😆
Nice watch close up! I always appreciate that. Is that a new Seiko, maybe purchased in Vietnam?
Jesus $489 that’s just plain rediculous
I really enjoyed this video!
"I tried so hard and got so far
But Indienne, it doesn't even matter"
Just an FYI. The name is actually pronounced Shor-Car. There is no S sound in Bengali, the language of Kolkata, and I have the same last name. Reading his name my assumption its said shoo-jahn shorkar. Also the Pescatarian menu is interesting. Bengal region is well known for consumption of fresh water fish.
That's ridiculously expensive for that meal, hard pass
Bro your parents live in Naperville?
One of the most unique lobster dishes I’ve ever seen. Glad you guys had a great day.
I’d like a meet tasting experience.
Another amazing video but holy smokes that's a crazy amount to pay for an afternoon meal. Read the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers to get an idea of The Rich people v the poor… just saying
Feel like HARRY PORTER fine dine of INDIAN food.. Food looks like FANTASY bro…. ALL Assorted cuisines from India… from all interstates.. FINE TUNED Like a FERRARI and BENTLEIGH
That is ridiculously expensive!
Charging extra for the Kulcha bothered me too. It comes off as trying to nickel and dime you, which takes away from the dish and the overall experience. But, it all looked beautiful. I hope your Dad is doing well… Well, both parents lol.

Voice-overs show respect for one's fellow diners.
We need more vloggers like you, James!
