  • Neighborhood gem

Inspired by one of the earliest civilizations in ancient history, the Indus Valley, the Indian fine dining concept will honor creating food for pleasure rather than simply sustenance, as the Indus people pioneered by being one of the first to blend and combine spices for flavoring.

    Wonderful elevated Indian food. It started with an amusee bouche of spicy tomato soup with crispy chickpeas. We had the eggplant mousse--order some extra naan to go with-- and the avocado chaat appetizers--both delicious. Entrees: The banana leaf wrapped fish and vegetable biryani . We will definitely go back!

    If you want a more upscale experience with Indian cuisine this is the place for you. Servers are polite, efficient and very helpful with menu choices. The menu itself offers a wide variety of choices, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, that are expertly prepared and presented.

    The unique menu items caught our eye, and we were not disappointed when we came here to try them. The food is excellent, and well presented. The pork vindaloo was an innovative deconstruction, and the sauce on the side was a whole other level higher from typical vindaloo dishes in America. The biryani was very flavorful. The staff and proprietor were all really friendly, and the place has a nice overall ambience. We will definitely go back to try some more dishes.

    We went for brunch and the food was great! The Delhi club sandwich is a must-try off the brunch menu. We also got the coffee cream shake to pair with it. Also recommend trying the crab dosa and fried chicken. Customer service is fabulous and management makes you feel like you’re one of their own. Definitely a quality restaurant!

    Indus Progressive Indian is a fantastic lunch spot on a chilly Chicago afternoon or any time of the day. The Chetinaad Chicken Dosa was crisp and flavorful, the India-style Fried Chicken perfectly spiced, and the Delhi-style Coffee Shake and Masala Tea warm and indulgent. Service was attentive, the ambience modern yet cozy, and everything spotless. The heavy red curtain at the entrance feels unwelcoming—replacing it would improve the first impression. Otherwise, an excellent experience worth revisiting!
