As someone who loves indo-chinese cuisine, I was definitely excited to try this place. I came here for my birthday dinner. The restaurant is cute, the servers were super attentive, and it wasn't crazy busy. It was really easy to get a large table reservation. For drinks, the caipirinha was good, the pani puri marg tasted just like actually pani and was delicious, the bombay drink was nice and spicy, and the mango mojito was a group fave. The masala fries were delicious. I got the gobi manchurian, while not the best I've had, definitely hit my craving. We also got the masala fried rice which was good but tasted like regular fried rice. My friends got the wedding banquet which they enjoyed, heads up, it takes about an hour to make. Others got the whats your beef, hakka chicken, fried rice, and the soup. Overall, nice place with decent food. My company probably made it better but would definitely come back the next time I'm craving indo-chinese. read more

I was extremely skeptical after reading Yelp reviews of this place but I'm happy to report I had a great time here. Service was extremely attentive and the food overall was delicious. It's strange that the menu online was different from the restaurant though. My favorite bites were the pani puri and steak. The entree portions were a bit small for the price but i had a gift card which helped to offset the cost a bit. It was also weirdly humid inside- like no air ventilation or AC, so had to dock some brownie points for that. Overall food was delicious but definitely on the pricier side. read more

Came here on a Tuesday evening for a reservation at 5:30pm, right when it opened. Ambiance is darker inside, we were one of two tables of guests during our time there. I loved that they had good non-alcoholic options, offering mango and lychee just like the alcoholic drinks. They brought us fries on the house and we ordered the Kolkata Streets chat, both which came in the unique car / bike serving items. read more

The food was really great (I'd been craving indochinese food and this hit the spot!) I loved that they offered complimentary masala fries in the beginning--they were the highlight! The place had a fancy ambiance with quick service and great food, however, it's definitely on the pricier end. While the food is good, it doesn't necessarily feel worth it for the price thought it could be a fun experience! read more

This restaurant is interesting to say the least. I was surprised because it presents itself like it's a hot place but when my friend and I walked in, there was no one. They do require reservations and you have to put your card down. Canceling less than 24 hours also results in being charged per person, and that seems unnecessary considering it was empty on a Friday evening. The service was nice, except that we were told it was happy hour and drinks/apps were half off but they were full price on the bill. I ordered a mango mint mojito fizz mocktail and my friend got an alcoholic beverage he said was good. Kinda weird they don't have just like classic mango lassi? For apps, we shared the Kolkata streets which was a chaat and it was really flavorful and with a great kick. If you don't eat spicy food, don't get this. The masala fries were good too. The presentation on the apps is very cute. For entrees, my friend got the Manchurian Gobi and I got the Hakka chili chicken. For whatever reason I assumed it came with noodles but it didn't. The server did recommend steamed rice so we got that to go with our entrees. The food was good., I think portion size was good for one person but not necessarily good if you're sharing. We didn't try the dessert but it seemed like it would be really good. All the names of the menu items were funny. The draw to coming here was the indochinese fusion because my friend and I love that. Also, it had good vegan options available which was good because my friend is vegan and it's surprisingly hard to find good mixed restaurants here in Chicago. Overall, it was really pricey though, considering what we got, and because they weren't entirely honest about their happy hour or lack thereof. Also it seemed like the restaurant was very try hard and just..stuffy? I liked the music though -- solid playlist. Food: 4/5 Knocked down 1 star because of the pricing inconsistencies and weird vibes read more

Vermilion - KOLKATA STREETS, Mango Mint Mojito Fizz, and Masala Fries - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My friend and I came here tonight for restaurant week 2022. We both have never been here, heard of Vermilion and wanted to knock it off our to go list. So what better way than restaurant week, right?! They open at 5:30pm and we came at 5:22 and the nice gentleman seated us. We were given water immediately and menus were already there. He was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We order our prefix meals - I got the Indian inspirers vegetarian plate and my friend got the Latin inspired seafood plate. The wait was short but that's also because we were the first ones there. Lol Chaat canteen tiffin - this is a 4 dish meal. One of the menu items isn't on the regular menu so that was a plus! It felt exclusive. The okra veggie patty was super small and dry. The kale salad was salty unfortunately. It was kale chips and not fresh kale so too much of it was over powering. The white liquid dish was dessert and I was not a fan of it. For the presentation, it was alright but with the poor season quality of the food, they could've done a better job. Latin cantina seafood platter - my friend stated that the best part of the dish were the shrimp. Which I could imagine. The mussels and broth were amazinggggg. As a tip, add in the rice - super filling. The flan was a nice twist on a dessert item. We ordered two drinks. I got the mock tail version of her mango drink and it was like drinking an Aha or Bubly. Nothing to wow about. I was surprised they didn't have mango lassi on the menu though. Viewing the menu, it's interesting that they pride themselves on a Latin/ Indian cuisine because there aren't meat dishes that are blended. Rather, the menu is kind of split in half (more Indian dishes but still). Would I return? Maybe... but the prices for the meals do not match that of quantity or quality. I would need more and different. read more

Very disappointing and way overpriced! We went there for dinner but there was barely anyone else. To start off, we ordered Pani puri margarita - it was too bitter and strong and seemed to have a lot of different flavors. Next, we ordered kolkata streets, an appetizer that was too spicy. We also ordered Hakka Chowmein with chicken as the mains. The chicken seemed a bit stale and smelly. Service was prompt and we were able to redeem our check-in offer of a free dessert- mango flan. Overall experience was not pleasant. Note- 20% gratuity is added by default for everyone dining in, including party of 1 read more

Delicious! Lots of vegan options! Highly recommend!! The food is incredible and the employees are great!

Had a great experience at Vermilion. We arrived earlier on a Friday and it was empty, however it quickly filled up. The gobi Manchurian was very flavorful and some of the best that I have had. Would have appreciated a few more cocktail choices, something unique to the restaurant, not mojitos and margs. Lobster dish was good but hard to take out of shell. Looked at the low reviews, restaurant week reviews should be ignored as non standard people come and the menu and quality are altered. In addition, I didn't notice any credit card service fees. read more

I came here during restaurant week and the way it was set up between multiple people didn't really make sense to me. You pay $49 a person for the menu but they say they portion it by party size but I'm unsure how true that is. The food was decent. I don't think I would come here if it wasn't discounted. Also, the sangria was disgusting. Some of the worst I have ever had. read more

I would like to start off by saying that I post honest reviews and I try not to come off harsh because I know how much the pandemic has affected businesses. I never ever want to hurt a business, but the food here was nothing to write home about. My girlfriend and I came here after making a reservation pretty early in advance. Upon walking in, we were the only other party in the restaurant, there was another table of four people. We were seated on the far left side by the booths. We were able to order our food in a pretty timely manner, but service was slow. We were given the empanadas, which were just OK, nothing particularly spectacular. The masala fries on the other hand, were phenomenal! I really love the dipping sauce that it came with. The panipuri was a let down because it was so soggy sitting in the sauce. Lastly the crispy kale chaat was unremarkable. They did give us a free dessert, which I really appreciate, but overall I do not see myself returning. I am Indian and I understand that this is a fusion restaurant, but the food was very mediocre. read more

Very disappointed in how expensive and lacking in ambiance this place was. The interior was very very casual indian restaurant vibes. Dishes were very very pricy and small portions- albeit very tasty. Things like lighting, tiles, lack of meaningful decor really made the ambience tasteless. Now, they charge 20% tip for parties of more than 1! That's basically every party. On such an overpriced menu, this was the cherry on top. It was lacking restaurant etiquette frankly. I'm very against the display of distrust by restaurants. A tip is a tip and it isn't anyone's birthright. Management, Your items are so pricey, you can afford a liveable wage if you want to enforce something. Service was good otherwise. The chefs signature dessert on Yelp is a flan they premade and packaged in a plastic container. It's not a menu item. It's not fresh. And it's definitely not chef's special. Won't be returning, sorry. read more

I went here with my husband and we both agree that this is the best place to dine. The ambience was beautiful and the food options were great. Bar menu was absolutely amazing. Had the pani puri cocktail. Mussels were too good and the lemon rice was yummy. We got to speak to the chef who was very friendly and shared few things with us about the concept of the restaurant and how it was inspired from a Tody bar in South India. A must try for those who love fusion since it's Indian + Latin read more

So I booked this place two weeks in advance. Hadn't been here in years, and was really looking forward to going back! My daughter was uncooperative with sleepy time (she's three, it happens from time to time...and of course on a night we have dinner plans). I called and explained the situation to Brittany, who stated there would be a cancellation fee. I asked if there was any way she would be able to waive the cancellation fee in light of my appreciation for my prior experience from years ago that prompted me to want to go back, and that I was very open and honest about the reason we wouldn't be able to make it (I told her about my daughter not sleeping, and didn't try to make up some story about traffic, etc.). She said she would ask her manager, put me on hold for a few minutes, and then returned to say "unfortunately, we won't be able to waive the fee. It's $15/head." When I tried to explain that I would be willing to take a different day/time, she interrupted to say "Yeah, it says that on there." She had such a terrible attitude about her that I lost it on the phone. I understand all the "policy" stuff, but there are times and reasons to make an exception...thanks for nothing Brittany and the Ghost Manager. read more

BEWARE if you don't have an impeccable spice tolerance! The crazy hot Asians soup was quite delicious and had a great depth of flavor but it was SPICY! Don't even get me started on the ancient wisdom salad which somehow lacked flavor but was also insanely spicy at the same time. I'm someone who has a good spice tolerance, and even I was sweating more than when I run! Surprisingly the Hakka noodles and Gobi Manchurian weren't spicy at all, they were delicious! I'd suggest sticking to the main and skipping the colds and soups. To reiterate, the only piece of advice I have is to wash your hands, don't touch your eyes and pray that you'll survive the spice. read more

Vermilion - SPICY chaat - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had a delightful experience at Vermillion last week with a colleague. The restaurant is conveniently located on Hubbard Street in River North. The place is dimly lit, cosy & relatively quiet, which feels as if you've discovered a hidden gem tucked between the clubs & lounges that line the busy street. The menu is divided into cool, crisp, mains & side kicks, with each item having a fun, cheekyl title and delivered in playful dishes such as our fries coming out in a rolling bicycle. We ordered items from several categories, which were all easy to share. The "Kolkata Streets" consisted of tangra crisp noodle chaat, jhal muri, mango, cilantro & Chinese chili sauce. It was sweet & tangy, with quite a kick (warning to those who don't like spicy), with an enjoyable crunch from the noodles. A great way to start the meal, but also a great side to accompany other dishes. We also started with the Wok of Life Shrimp, which was one of my favorites of the night. Cantonese shrimp with sweet, charred tandoor pineapple on a toasted lobster roll bun. The ambrosia dipping sauce added bright, light & creamy acidity to balance out the savory shrimp. For mains, I decided to go for a classic - Hakka Chow Mein with chicken & eggs, which definitely hit the spot. My colleague ordered Squid Games, partly because he loved the description with "lethal black squid ink rice noodles" and also because he is Italian, so he loves squid ink pasta. It included shrimp, squid, black mushrooms & squid ink sauce. I tasted this as well and it was delicious. He finished the plate quite quickly, even though it was a substantial portion, so it was clear he loved it. We also enjoyed a side of fries with a special sauce that was a nice change from ketchup. For dessert, we had the Regal Shahi Tukra which was a dense nut cake resting in a pool of creamy saffron milk. I ordered the Bollywood Item Number cocktail with voka, pear, green chili & lime. A touch of fruit, spice and acid perfectly complimented the food. Our server was friendly, attentive & provided great recommendations! I would highly recommend Vermillion to anyone wanting to discover new flavor combinations of Indian and Chinese origin and who is looking for an atmosphere that is warm and inviting, yet fun and surprising! read more

Nope avoid. The place was empty of a Friday night and with good reason. We sat outside and there's a smoke shop next door that made breathing difficult. Food is overpriced and not really as good to taste. Except the kale chaat. 10/10 for that dish Drinks are fine but food lacked salt or some sort of flavor. read more

Made a reservation for restaurant week and waited 30 minutes for a table. The drinks were amazing, but the food was disappointing. Pozole had decent flavor but was overly salted. Chili chicken was overly spicy. The masala fries with chutney were the best thing we ate, and the lobster Portuguese was good but underwhelming. Overall, the flavors seemed very unbalanced in each dish. read more

Nevertheless we'll be back. Recommended. read more

Vermilion - Light and smoke show - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Recommended by a family member to try this restaurant. I was intrigued when I was told it is Indian and Latin fusion cuisine. The restaurant is massive, fancy, modern and stunning. Our host/ server was the same person. He was very amiable, and extremely helpful. Since we were not super hungry; we decided to order 4 appetizer to share as tapas style. We received a complementary from the chef, it was mashed vege fritters with mango salsa and tamarind drizzle. Rating: B+ From our orders: Pani Puri Chat with margarita sauce. Rating: A- Coconut toasted shrimps with chimichurri sauce, Rating: A+ Tamarind marinated Paneer Cheese, Rating: B Octopus sautéed with red peppers and onions, fajita style, Rating A By my ratings, it's obvious, I simply enjoyed this place immensely. As it was recommended to me, so I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Poor food, limited choices. Below avg ambience. The restaurant was empty on a Friday evening of a long weekend. We had an upset stomach the next day. read more

I agree with the rest of the negative reviews. We should have realized it when, the restaurant had only 3 other group dining on a busy Saturday evening while the Hubbard street restaurants bustling with people. Their Pani puri was stale and poorly made. The lamb chops had marinade which lacked any flavor Their garlic naan was palatable but you cant go wrong the bread. The only thing we loved was the dessert of shahi tukra which was 10/10. Our server was really helpful though. What was more disturbing was mandating a credit card transaction fee for all credit card transactions. They would not accept cash, in order to avoid the credit card transaction fee. The manager made it sound it's the norm and advised me not to come back if I don't agree with their rules. It just made us feel like we were at a dinghy convenient store ready, instead of a fine dine restaurant in river north. I feel, this all came from their owners, as their servers and their manager seemed to be reporting to their superiors. read more

the reason for 1 star is because we gave this restaurant two attempts, one during Chicago restaurant week and 2nd during My husbands and I's most recent visit. And both time they ended up disappointing us. this restaurant used to be very special for my husband and I, because we had a special wedding day dinner here during the pandemic when we decided to get married in 2020. but after that, this restaurant went spiraling down. I already have a review on how bad their service was during Chicago restaurant week in 2021 where we waited for more than an hour to get our appetizers , forget about main course. And food came cold. The chef literally came outside and apologized to us. this review is mainly focused on our recent visit from Dec 2021. after the bill came it had a 3% credit card processing fee which was never communicated in advance. when my husband asked, do you take cash, they said no they don't take cash and there is no option to avoid the credit card fee, this means that want to force people to pay using credit card and make extra money on it. I happily paid the 3% up charge, but when I asked the restaurant manager why are they not giving an option to people to pay with cash and why they are not notifying in advance. The response I got was we could easily increase the price of our food to cover credit card processing fee and people wont know. We want to be honest with our customers hence we didn't increase the food price. first off lets get to food, your food is already overpriced and honestly it's no special than any other Indian restaurants in the neighborhood. so you already know that increasing the price of your mediocre food won't do good for your business. 2nd: if you Want to be honest to your customers tell them in advance to expect a 3% credit card fee so they are not caught by surprise at the end of their meal. This will save you ton's of uncomfortable conversations with your customer. 3rd: By forcing people to pay with credit cards and then charge then a 3% credit card processing fee and not giving them alternative means to pay (example: cash) is literally scamming people and stealing money. example: a party of 10 people have say a $1000 bill will end up paying extra $30 for no reason. $30 can literally cover someone's one time meal at some other restaurant. OVERALLL I gave you two attempts and I am extremely disappointed. You won't be getting business for us and our friends and family going forward. read more

This was the single worst dining experience we've ever had anywhere. The food fell short in every way and the service was even worse. We were sat outside and 30 mins went by before our server greeted us. It was around the 40 min mark that we finally got our drinks. We quickly put in our order for 2 apps and 2 entrees so as not to have to wait on our server again. About an hour after we first arrived did the first app arrive (lamb chops). The thing is they were brought to the wrong table. The second plate of lamb chops came out soon after and went to that same table that arrived after us. That table said they only ordered one app and so we spoke up and said we think those go to this table. The lamb chops were overcooked after ordering medium rare and the sear on all three cuts fell off. I don't know how that is possible but, like a scab, the sear fell off the chop. About another 30 mins went by until we got our 2 entrees. The butter chicken tasted good but we got about half a chicken's breast worth of meat. The sirloin steak that we ordered medium rare came back uncooked. We sent it back to get cooked and when it came back it was well done. After 2 hours of "dining" our server asked if we would like the check. We told him we never got the other appetizer. He told us we never ordered it. Not to argue and to end a miserable dinner we said, no worries. I told him if the order was in go ahead and bring it but if the order was not put in, just bring the check. The server comes back to tell us that he just put the order in... Shaking our heads out of pure frustration at this point we just said - great. Please bring the check. 15 mins went by and the server never came back to grab our card so I took the check back inside and gave my card to the first person I saw to pay it. All of this happening with the restaurant at what looked like 25% capacity since their air conditioning was broken. Luckily for the staff, the owner decided to have gratuity built into the check. read more

**Vegetarian Friendly** I would have never guessed this place served Indian food - and was it fantastic!! This is a fusion restaurant with traditional Indian options. They are well known for their pani puri margarita. It's a unique taste but definitely worth having once. I had the dosa and the vegetarian thali. The dosa was not as crisp as a traditional indian restaurant - it was a cross of a dosa and uttapam. It was also much smaller in size (roughly the size of a tortilla). The fun part of the dosa was you're able to mix and match your filling with your chutney. It's a great way to try a combination of sweet/savory flavors. The vermilion thali is the best value for your dollar. You get three servings of a curry plus rice and naan. The best part? It comes served in a tiffin!! Such a fun experience. PS: Check in on Yelp and get a free dessert with a purchase of an entree. The default dessert for this coupon is the Mango Flan. It's not your typical flan texture - it's more firm and similar to a gulab jamun. read more

3.5 stars overall... food was 4 stars, service 3 stars. After 2 years, not much as changed. It's kinda odd that it's well located and has a posh space but it isn't busy on a Saturday night. The 4 of us came here to catch up dinner with friends. The great thing is that you can actually have a conversation since the place is only half full. Overall, my friends liked the food. We were pleasantly surprised by the Crisp Kale Bhel. The Juhu pani puri was very meh...not enough pani and the filling was scarce. The artichoke pakora was decent -can't go wrong with fried vegetable right. My friends liked the entrees of palak paneer, eggplant entree, and cauliflower entree. the hubby thought his steak was fine but not stellar. i liked my anaari shrimp. With a yelp check in, we got a free flan, which honestly was not that great. However, the shashi turka (wrong spelling) was pretty good. it's a like a milk cake...similar to tres leches in some cream sauce. The service is friendly but spotty which could be due to that fact they do not don't expect a full house of clients. There was a party going on in a side section. read more

We chose this place after our original dinner plans got canceled. It was very close to our hotel, looked nice and had outdoor seating. When we walked in, we noticed a sign that said "credit card payments only" or something to that effect. My boyfriend asked if we could tip in cash and the Host said absolutely. We sat outside and our server, Tony, came right away. He was very nice, jovial and helpful. At one point, it started to rain so all the patrons eating outside had to move inside. It was a little hectic, and the staff seemed frazzled, trying to seat everyone even though the restaurant was by no means crowded. We both ordered the skirt steak. I ordered the garlic naan and my boyfriend got the lemon rice. Everything was delicious. We were pleasantly surprised! The issue came when the bill came. For food that only cost $80, the final bill ended up being $105. Now, Chicago taxes aside, this seemed egregious. In looking at the fees, we noticed that the tip was included (that's fine) but also the restaurant charged the credit card surcharge to the customers. This seems very low class, especially for the standard of restaurant this establishment purports to be. Not to mention, they force you to use credit cards! I could have paid in cash and avoided this additional fee if not for their rule. There was something very "scammy" about the whole thing, and I won't be coming back - regardless of how good the food is. read more

- Hours of operation says 11.30 pm and server keeps on bothering that they need to close at 9.30 and even the bar. Then why the hell you have mentioned open till 11.30 pm on a Friday night - Shitty cocktails: one of them only had lime juice (tangy as hell) and other one only coconut milk. Marketing Pictures on google and yelp are totally deceptive. - 'Not so KFC' chicken is actually microwave heated KFC chicken which they serve in 5 mins upon order and it is stale. Attached is a picture and totally deceptive from the marketing picture which is also attached - Hakka Masterpiece which is $26 is shit, it has the same chicken used in the appetizer. - I saw the bartender/server taking the garbage bin to the backdoor kitchen right through the middle of the restaurant where people are eating. Then same guy comes with our food 2 mins back. What kind of restaurant brings garbage bin to the eating area ? What kind of hygiene is this ? - Spent $140 for 2 people for crap at this restaurant. - This restaurant won Best new restaurant travel and leisure, is this a joke ? - This place doesn't even deserve one star - It's a disgrace on the name of Indo--Chinese food, please go and learn from other cities like NYC, cities in California or in India. - To the owner: Don't dare to say 'please come back to the restaurant and extras on us' like you have mentioned in the google reviews. First admit that it is a poor management and misrepresentation, and fix the problems. Don't take pride in this kind of work. read more

Vermilion - 'Not So KFC' dish comparison of the real food served and picture marketed - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We were visiting Chicago over Labor day weekend and of all the restaurants in Chicago we ended up having dinner here twice during our 1 week visit! We remembered coming to this restaurant over 5 years ago on our last visit to Chicago, so were pleased to see that it was still in business. We are Indian ourselves so we have Indian food a lot, but this place is very unique with the Latin inspired Indian dishes. The Latin twist really makes their food more interesting and tasty. We had to order the typical Indian dish Chicken Tikka Masala- it was one of the best we've ever had. I really enjoyed the plantain crusted fish and also the tandoori steak. The decor is modern chic and very elegant. We'll definitely recommend this place to any friends visiting Chicago. Oh and don't forget about the free dessert with the yelp check-in! The first time they let us choose any dessert off the menu, but the next visit they said we could only get the mango flan which was delicious anyways so we were happy :) read more

Vermilion - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Is Rohini Dey involved in this restaurant anymore? It is an embarrassment now. We have been big fans of Vermilion for years (but we do not live in Chicago), so we do not visit often. We also loved At Vermilion in NYC when it existed. The renovation of the Chicago restaurant is awful. They took what was a dark and cool environment and turned it into what looks like a fast casual restaurant. We went on a Thursday night and were one of two tables that had customers. I can see why. Full-credit, the cocktails were excellent. There was nothing special about the food. They used to have steaks with a spicy sauce, an amazing fish stew, and excellent ceviche. None of those things are on the menu anymore. Now it is much more basic Indian, and nothing special. They actually have butter chicken on the menu now; that is how said it has become. It is way too expensive for basic Indian food. Also, they make patrons pay the credit card fee. Breaks my heart to see a place go downhill like this. read more
