Indienne resides in 217 W Huron st. in Chicago's River North district. Our space is a renovated 19th-century printing warehouse that has been home to several historic Chicago restaurants. We are excited to bring life to the space again.
Chef Sujan Sarkar, natively from Kolkata, honed his culinary skills in London's most intense, iconic Michelin-starred kitchens, growing his affinity for French cuisine. He has spent the last several years defining, and redefining the limitless potential of Indian cuisine, and Indienne brings together Indian flavors and French technique.
We offer a tasting menu for Vegetarian, Vegan, and Pescatarian diners as well as those who eat all proteins and ingredients (which we refer to as 'Non-Vegetarian'). Each menu changes seasonally.
Indienne was awarded its first Michelin Star in the fall of 2023 and retained it for 2024.
Our team will guide you through both a nourishing and artistic culinary experience with warmth and hospitality.
