India House

I feel like India House can be somewhat hit or miss. Sometimes when we come here we’re thoroughly pleased (and always stuffed), but sometimes, like tonite, not quite as much. I’m still stuffed, but I wasn’t that satisified with my dishes – they just seemed like food and weren’t anything special. Perhaps the menu is too diverse and I’m just missing the good dishes. It’s funny because even though it’s a little pricey and we aren’t always consistently happy with all the dishes, we keep coming back…weird. I guess there just aren’t many other Indian places we know downtown.

Ahh, Indian lunch buffet, the destroyer of well-intentioned eating habits. I hadn’t had Indian buffet for a while, so after a particularly active morning we decided to stop in and “indulge” ourselves. Indian buffets have got to be one of the few places where you can enter dying to eat, and leave dying to purge. :)

We got there a bit late for lunch (1:45pm or so), but there was still plenty of food out. They’ve remodeled a bit since the last time I was there, to good effect: the tables by the buffet tables are better lit now. Service was good, especially for a buffet – our waiter was apparently a water-pouring master, showing off all kinds of crazy long-distance water refill techniques.

There were lots of different tasty dishes to enjoy, and buffet includes a complementary plate of Tandoori chicken too.

All in all, India House provides a great atmosphere for tasty Indian dining, in a nicely decorated and spacious atmosphere.

This place is very good

My follow-up review for this restaurant. Read my previous review for this restaurant here

One of the best indian restaurants in the chicago area.

It’s not the best Indian restaurant ever, but the buffet is cheap, and the busboys clear the dishes away insanely quickly.
