Kama offers fresh, bold modern Indian cuisine in downtown La Grange.

The father and son team of Manmohan and Vikram Singh have created a unique menu comprising of dishes from various regions of India and Indian inspired Americana.

This place was rated my wife and I’s #1 restaurant ever. It is unfortunate when places change their recipes and ingredients. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a good place to eat and their drinks are amazing, but it’s not what it was a year ago. Something changed. The ambience is still great and the service is great. It’s the food. Something changed.

I am not a fan of Indian food in general, but I always find something at Kama Bistro that is quite tasty. Not too spicy (they let you choose!) and not too strong in spices.
