About Indienne
Chef Sujan Sarkar applies fine-dining technique to regional Indian cooking across four parallel tasting menus, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian and non-vegetarian, so a mixed table can move through the same number of courses without compromise. Pani puri, yogurt chaat, a lobster course, lamb chops, butter chicken and a slow-cooked dal makhani are the dishes reviewers name most, and the chili cheese kulcha has its own following. A sommelier runs a well-regarded wine pairing, and the fine, thin-stemmed glassware gets its own compliments. The pale, quiet dining room sits in a brick loft building on Huron Street, while the bar serves an à la carte menu to walk-ins, which makes a few drinks and plates an easy alternative. Dinner runs Monday to Saturday from 5 PM, until 9 on weekdays and 9:30 on Friday and Saturday, with bookings on SevenRooms. The rating sits at 4.6 from 865 Google reviews, though a few recent diners found dishes uneven.
