An exciting exploration of India's culture through its cuisine can be had at The Indian Garden Restaurant and Catering, Chicago, popularly known as 'The IG'. It is hardly surprising that in a nation of such complexity and sheer vastness the definition of a national cuisine is, at best, elusive. The chef's utilize ancient traditional ingredients to anchor the menu; dishes are richly flavoured and are individually created to please distinct tastes.

Enhance your gastronomic horizons with dishes such as jheenga madras or one of the specialties cooked in kadhai - iron work - kadhai gosht. For main course a house favourite will typically include reshami kabab to start with, Murg tikka masala, sizzling tandoori roasted chicken in a rich tomato-kissed sauce and rogan josh, lean long cooked lamb in a sauce spiked with cardamom. The saffron fragrant basmati rice and traditional tandoori naan are welcoming accompaniments.
