kama bistro

must trykamaindian bistro.kamais just plain fantastic! i was never a huge indian food fan butkamahas converted me. the array of flavors, the spices, the atmosphere all make for a wonderful, fulfilling experience. we had a group of 6 and were promptly greeted and seated by the hostess who took the extra time to explain the different indian dishes and described how each was prepared. our waitress was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. she answered our questions, asked about our tastes and made some wonderful dish and wine recommendations. for appetizers, we had the pei mussels, chili crispy potatoes and the pakora platter. the mussels cooked in coconut milk and tamarind were great! they would make a fantastic main dish. the chili fries and pakora platter of lightly breaded and fried vegetables were also very good. we ordered the kandai marsala lamb, vindaloo lamb, malai kofta potato & paneer dumplings w/raisins, tandoori seafood platter.. we passed dishes around so everyone could try everything and no one was disappointed. the dishes were extremely flavorful with plenty of spice. the vindaloo lamb brings plenty of heat but not overly so and is a great dish..
poll from the table is that service was a solid 5 and food rated between 4.5 and 5. guaranteed we will be back!

finally. my family and i moved to la grange less than two years old and were disappointed there were no indian restaurants here at the time. it's our favorite cuisine, so whenkamaopened, we were excited but a little afraid to get our hopes up.

fortunately, we weren't at all let down. in fact, this is some of the best indian food we've ever had. the ambiance is nice--not formal but not overly casual either. we brought our children and didn't feel out of place. the menu selection is excellent, and the portion sizes are good, which is important since the food is delicious. our only complaint is that the service, while friendly, is a little slow, but this could be a result of just starting out and trying to keep up with the pace of business.
