My husband and I came here over the weekend for an impromptu date night and were so impressed. Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Service: 10/10 We ordered the goat belly samosa, chicken inferno, lamb shank rogan josh, kachumbar salad, garlic naan, and lasuni palak. Every dish--except the salad--was spot on: authentic, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The chicken inferno was especially memorable, and the portions were generous. My only suggestion would be for the kachumbar salad to have more vibrant colors and fresher flavors--perhaps beets and carrots instead of the very chewy purple cabbage. I didn't try any of the cocktails, but I did have a glass of cava brut, which was served in a white wine glass and was a very generous pour. This place is truly a gem, and I hope they continue to keep the same recipes and portions because they've got something special here. We will definitely be back! read more

This is a nice, upscale restaurant. There is a small bar area with a TV above it which can easily be avoided. They have lunch specials, a happy hour, and tea (!) from 2-5, veg or non-veg options, which I'm definitely checking out. If you're vegetarian, items that can be made vegan are clearly marked, and there are more vegan items on the website than I saw on the menu, so I would ask. Most of the French touches appear to be on dishes with meat, though there are flatbreads and a spinach dip, and of course dessert; there is a lot more paneer on the menu than I'm used to, which might be a gesture towards the French love of cheese. Vegans would do best ordering the soya chaap or from the Accompaniments section, which includes classic Indian items (aloo gobi, dal). Overall there are about 8 vegetarian entrees / accompaniments, plus appetizer options. Restaurant serves wine, beer and cocktails in addition to the usual mango lassi, chai and soft drinks. We got a ginger mojito; mango lassi; the corn fritters; the fig/pistachio/paneer flatbread; garlic naan; rice; the soya chaap and a cardamom creme brulee. In general, food had a blend of spices but was mild, which makes sense given the French influence. The corn fritters were nicely spiced with good texture and a tasty sauce. The garlic naan is quite impressive with lots of herbs and garlic. Unless you love soy cutlets, I don't recommend the soya chaap (soy/wheat cutlets in coconut curry sauce); it's fine for what it is - the gravy was delicious and rich - but it's not for me. The flatbread was interesting; the pistachios didn't overwhelm at all but I would have liked more fig to stand up to the paneer. The spouse was impressed with the mojito; the lassi was OK but wasn't as fruity as I like. The cardamom creme brulee is served in a wide ramekin, maximizing the surface area of the sugar crust and making it easily sharable. Instead of permeating the cream, the cardamom seeds provided little bursts of flavor, which was nice but not what I expected. Service was a bit slow but solicitous - we were there on a quiet Sunday night. Copious parking; easy hours; I'll definitely check out the lunch specials and tea when I'm in the mood for local Indian food, heavy on the paneer. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed lunch today. We'd never been in but previously had a bit of leftovers from our kids... and knew we had to try it. For $50, we each had plenty of food and some amazing tea. The food was plenty flavorful and not nearly as spicy as their name implies. I'm not big on spicy heat and had no issues with their spice levels. Their service was attentive and they handled our dietary needs well. We were there before noon and it was a bit quiet. It is a well decorated and we look forward to going back! read more

Thoughtful and creative food choices. The short rib we ordered was delicious but the rest didn't stand out. Service was nice but really slow - it took 45 minutes for all the food to arrive and the restaurant was not even busy. The customer sitting next to us fell asleep while waiting. read more

Curry A La Flambe - Scallop Curry, Paneer Tikka, Butter Chicken, Garlic Cilantro Naan - Indian Near Me - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Dined at this new addition to the Glen Ellyn restaurant scene. Strongly recommend. We were the only diners on Thursday at 6:30 pm. Service was excellent and punctual. Decor mixes new elements with some of the staples that have previously occupied this space. Ok let's talk food. It is billed as French and Indian fusion. The menu is Indian forward but with French flairs. They do a nice job and flavors are well done. We ordered a lot so we can provide a thorough review. Appetizers: Chicken Vol au Vent - little bite sized pastries with a "chicken pot pie" filling. 8/10 Lamb Sliders - small ground lamb patties with a rich mint chutney, spicy chili pepper on a pillowy bun 9/10 Entrees: Chicken Tikka - moist flavorful and my favorite thing we got 9.5/10 Scallop Flambé: 4 scallops on a bed on spinach puree set ablaze table side with a liquor 8/10 Saag Paneer: Creamy, velvety spinach blended with spices and large pieces of cheese 9/10 Garlic Naan: just get it 10/10 Would definitely return to try more from the expansive menu! read more

Beautiful, intimate restaurant right off the train stop in Glen Ellyn. Plenty of free parking after commuter time. Service was attentive (but we were the only ones there at the time.) The food was SO GOOD. The corn fritters were slightly spiced and so light. Still dreaming of them. We got 3 other dishes for the 4 of us and still took some home. The scallops were beautifully presented but I felt the spinach (saag) was too heavy for them. But since they sat on the saag, you could easily eat them separately. The single beef rib provided lots of fall off the bone meat. The sauce was rich and tasty. We also got chicken tikka masala, also very good. You need to order rice and bread. The naan was fresh and delicious. The wine pour was very generous IMO. Would love to eat here again. read more

Delicious. My favorite is the fried cauliflower which is addicting and the fish and chips. Everyone liked the other dishes too. The restaurant is very clean and well decorated and has a nice atmosphere. Parking in front, or in back. read more

Awesome food and drinks! The flambé dishes are stunning and so tasty! Their smoked old fashioned too.

Stopped in around 4pm on a Saturday. The place was nearly empty since it was between Norma meal times. We started with a beer, cardamom cappuccino and masala chai. The cappuccino and chai weren't as hot as we would've liked. The beer was perfectly chilled, but served in a mason jar too large for the 12oz bottle they poured into it. We started with the corn fritters, Punjabi samosas and then we got the mango habanero paneer flambé. The fritters were tasty, but the my stuck to your teeth. The samosa didn't have the typical Punjabi flavor, but the crust was very crispy and flakey. The paneer flambé was absolutely delicious, but did not taste like mango or habanero. Mostly a tomato flavor, but we loved it nonetheless. The service was pretty good as well. read more

Excellent addition of an upscale Indian-French restaurant in Glen Ellyn. Worth dining in for the creative cocktails and flambé entrees (set aflame table side). Service was attentive but not overly so. read more

My fiance and I wanted to try a new to us restaurant in Glen Ellyn, so we decided to try here. It did not disappoint! My fiance got an old fashioned and it was the smoothest old fashioned I've ever tasted and I'm not much of a drinker and thought it was great! We got the Mango Habanero Paneer and the Pudina Chicken and we probably finished them in record time! It was cool watching the server flambe them, too! We finished off with a coffee and a tea and it was the perfect evening. It's a small, cozy and lovely atmosphere. The food is tasty and delicious, too! We were very happy and we can't wait to return! read more

I was there on the Glen Ellyn "Taco" Crawl. Various fillings from many participating Glen Ellyn restaurants which were not solely Mexican. I love Indian Food. My group had various fillings for our "tacos" from Curry a La Flambé- Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer. Everyone thought their "tacos" were great. I had Palak paneer; it was great. Our food wasn't super spicy, but I know every Indian restaurant can typically make any of their dishes more spicy if that is what you like. Their typical menu has many other Indian specialities. My favorite Indian foods are great Naan, curries, Palak Paneer, and Rogan Josh. I am looking forward to trying all of them. The reviews of everything in this restaurant are great so I know my "taco" experience is not just a one-off. Great service. Nice bright atmosphere, and good location with plenty of parking near. read more

Wow, what an incredible find! I just moved to the area and honestly couldn't ask for anything better to have close by. The ambiance was so relaxing, the food was delicious, and the staff were all so friendly and attentive. They had a 3-course lunch special going on for Glen Ellyn's food week and it ended up being the perfect amount for the price. I also saw some of the food the other guests had and I'm so excited to try it on my next visit! I hope this place gets all the love and attention it deserves! read more

Excellent food from start to finish! Everything we ordered was outstanding! For appetizers, we had incredible Crab Croquettes, Goat Belly Samosas, and Punjabi Samosas. Our entrées included the Achari Shortribs, Chicken Makhani Inferno, Pudina Chicken, and Chicken Tikka. Each dish was unique and packed with distinct, bold flavors. Nothing tasted the same, yet everything was equally delicious. The flambé presentation was such a fun touch and added to the whole experience! The naan, masala tea, and rice pudding were delicious too. I wasn't very confident ordering Indian food but everything exceeded my expectations and nothing was too spicy for me. We will definitely be back! read more

Very nice new Indian restaurant within walking distance of downtown Glen Ellyn. Their tagline is "Where Indian spice meets French elegance", which is an apt description of the restaurant. Tucked away in the corner of a strip mall just east of downtown, the restaurant is comfortable and quiet. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The Garlic Cilantro Naan was the best naan I have ever had. The Flambéed Scallops, Chicken Tikka and Chicken Makhani Inferno were all very nicely done, and the Flambé done at the table just adds to the experience! If you're looking for a good Indian restaurant in the western suburbs with a unique twist, this is the place for you. read more

My husband and I have been waiting for an Indian spot to open in downtown Glen Ellyn since we moved here in 2021. We were thrilled when we learned this spot was opening. And it delivered! Menu and flavors are on point! Lots of traditional items but also unique things to try. The space is really cute and well decorated/comfortable. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back often to try more things and bring my family and friends here! It is brand new so wasn't super busy when we went but they do have high chairs and look very family friendly. What a fantastic addition to our amazing downtown! read more

The food is excellent, and the service is good and very helpful. If you're not accustomed to Indian cuisine your server is more than helpful and explaining what goes into the food. read more

My nephew took me to dinner or I may have never tried this place. It is absolutely fabulous! The service is quick and friendly. The place is cute and very clean. But the food is the amazing. We had goat meat samosas and chicken vol au vent appetizers, both delicious. I had vindaloo short ribs and my nephew had flambé chicken both with just the right amount of spice and so flavorful. They do a lunch service I can't wait to try! If you like Indian food or are looking to try it for this first time this is the place. read more

The family went last night for my birthday. IT WAS AWESOME! Wasn't sure if they kids would enjoy and they all loved it. Kids had the Butter Chicken meal as well as the Sea Bass. ZMy wife the Paneer Tikka (hadn't heard of this before) and it was great. And I went with the traditional Tikka Masala as well as keeping the bread baskets coming! We will be returning many times. Would go again today. read more

This was our first time here and it's probably my new favorite Indian restaurant. Very nice inside and definitely an upscale vibe, but prices are very reasonable. Service was excellent and the food was delicious! We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Red Snapper Curry, nan and rice. The sauces were wonderful and proteins cooked perfectly. We don't live nearby but would definitely go out of our way to return. read more

Food was delicious and the staff was very welcoming and kind. We will definitely be returning.

Loved our food! Flavor was spot on. They did an awesome job with the look of the interior. Would definitely come back.

This new spot in Glen Ellyn is a "must go" if you are a fan of experiencing a unique Indian/French cuisine. I have visited many Indian restaurants in the area, and Curry A La Flambé offered a combination of food and tastes that I hadn't experienced before. We started with an order of the Goat Belly Samosas (2 per order) and garlic naan (plenty for two people) and we were NOT disappointed. We decided to also try the Masala Crab Croquettes, and I have to admit, this is one of the BEST appetizers I have ever had ANYWHERE. The combinations of fish, meat and sauces was second-to-none. For our main dishes, we decided to go with Flambéed Tiger Shrimp and Butter Chicken (please don't put my reliability into question due to my "basic" order lol). The shrimp were literally seared (lit on fire) at our table. The order came with 8 very large shrimp that were well seasoned and absolutely delicious. Again, the sauce that was served to complement the shrimp was also delightful. The Butter Chicken dish was a large enough portion, especially when I used my garlic naan to soak up some of the extra sauce! Delicious! The restaurant is big enough to entertain larger parties but also has a living room feel. The decor is attractive and the service was outstanding. Prices were fair, especially when compared to other restaurants of similar quality in the area. Parking was easy as there are plenty of spots both in front of the restaurant and in the back (just west of Park Blvd.) Taking everything into consideration, I very deliberately give Curry A La Flambé a 5-star review and I look forward to going back soon! read more

I tried Curry a la Flambe today. It was excellent. If you are new to Indian food, what my wife and myself ordered was a good starting point. Here's what we tried: 1. Cauliflower Pakora - Came with mint and tamarind chutney 2. Butter Chicken - A generous portion of chicken, lots of sauce, excellent and tasty. 3. Chicken Tikka Grill - Moist Chicken, nicely seasoned, and the grilled vegetables alongside it were also great. 4. Naan - really great bread, excellent for dipping into any sauce or chutney. I will be back, and I encourage you to go to. The butter chicken will leave you wanting more. read more

Lovely evening with friends. Ringing in 2026 with great food at this amazing new spot!

Food was very good and service was very nice but a bit slow. Could benefit from a door to keep kitchen pots and pans noise out of the dining area. Over all very happy to have this restaurant in town. read more

Delicious dishes, lovely ambiance and great service. Menu has a variety of eclectic dishes to choose from.

Great service and amazing food! Don't walk, run here!! The pakora were so flavorful and crispy (not greasy). The chutneys were bright and added another level of umami to these!! The flambéed paneer and shrimp were delicious and who doesn't love a flambé?! Sweet ending with cardamom brûlée and such a rich, delicious chocolate tart! We will be back!! read more

I'm so glad we tried this place tonight! Quiet, intimate restaurant with a really interesting Indian/French menu. Chicken MakhanI Inferno flambe was delicious, and my husband loved the lamb shank. We also enjoyed the garlic cilantro naan and the cardamom creme brulee. Our server was gracious and patient as we navigated the menu and asked questions. There are so many things we can't wait to try next time. Great addition to Glen Ellyn! read more

Perfect in every way! The restaurant week lunch of chicken tikka masala with a cup of tomato soup and a jackfruit croquette with rice pudding for dessert was delicious. I am still savoring the memory. The mango haberno paneer was set aflame at the table and the only thing more stunning than the presentation was the taste. We have found our new favorite restaurant! Nevil was our server and you couldn't ask for a more delightful and helpful waiter. read more

This place is such a gem!! A very charming atmosphere making for a cozy date night. The food was absolutely incredible. We got the cauliflower app, paneer masala, and the scallops. They were all great! We will definitely be returning very soon! I'm so excited to have this addition to Glen Ellyn. Can't recommend enough read more

Very excited about this new French/Indian fusion restaurant. My friend and I split the Crab Croquettes and the Spinach Dip w/mini naan - we devoured all 4 of the croquettes but only had room for about half the dip so plenty to share. We both enjoyed our entrees - Beef Vindaloo for her - a nice zing but not so spicy your lips tingle - and the Chicken Mahkani Flamé for me. We both took leftovers home so you could easily share an entree. I was surprised that you had to order rice separately but overall the prices weren't outrageous. Definitely will be back to try other items. If you like Indian food this is a must try! read more
