Indian Garden

Description
This is the Devon Avenue spot you take your spice-phobic parents to while still managing to get good grub and throw back an Indian beer or two. With locations in Schaumburg, Westmont and downtown, this place's accessibility is pretty obvious, but thanks to personable service, your requests for various heat levels will be met. Go for the vegetarian thali, a combo platter of mashed, roasted eggplant; creamy spinach; simmered black lentils; rice and nan. Meat-eaters should try the gosht pasanda, a sweetish, creamy, cashew-based gravy dotted with chunks of lamb, or the murg methi chaman, a fenugreek chicken dish bursting with fresh herb flavor.
