NADU

I went to Chicago Gourmet’s brand-new Asian Night Market at the Zhou B Art Center in Bridgeport — year one of this event, hosted by @thai_dang_ and @chefbeverlykim . $99 gets you bites from cuisines across Asia, cocktails, and live dance performances in a neon-lit market. @chicago_gourmet My verdict: honestly, yes — go next year. Full take’s in the reel. Chicago Gourmet runs through Sunday, Sept 27 — tickets via the link in bio. #chicagogourmet #asiannightmarket #chicagofood #chicagoevents #chicagoeats

NADU is the perfect place to go with a group because the $60 tasting menu basically lets you build your own Indian feast 🤤 You start with papad + chutneys and dahi bhalla, then choose a small plate, large plate, side, AND dessert, so obviously the move is to go with 3 friends and order different things so you can try everything 👀 NADU focuses on regional Indian cuisine from across India, and this is such a fun way to experience a little bit of everything without having to commit to just one dish. 📍NADU — Lincoln Park 💰 $60/person for the tasting menu #chicagofood #visitchicago #chicagocontentcreator #lincolnpark #chicagofoodie

Why aren’t we talking about this Indian restaurant enough??? Went back to Nadu and it hits just as hard — if not more. Ordered the Prawn Ghee Roast, Thatte Idli, Chilli Fish, Mawa Cake— and honestly, every single one delivered. Bold flavors, beautifully done, and meant to share. For cocktails don’t miss their Aam and Til. Follow for more chicago recs! #chicagofood #chicagoeats #chicagorestaurants #indianfood #chicagofoodie

🔥One of my favorite things about Chicago Restaurant Week is using it as an excuse to finally try restaurants that have been sitting on my list. From January 23 - February 8, restaurants across the city are offering special prix-fixe menus for brunch, lunch, and dinner, making it such a good time to explore somewhere new or revisit a spot you’ve been curious about. This visit to @restaurantnadu seriously delivered. So many standout dishes, and it’s also from the same team behind @indiennechicago, which made it even more exciting to finally try. SAVE this for #ChicagoRestaurantWeek. #ChooseChicago #ChicagoRestaurantWeek #NeverOutdoneChi #SherrieSavorsTheCity

Nadu in Chicago is a true celebration of regional Indian cuisine — spotlighting the flavors, ingredients, and stories that make each part of India so unique. From buttery Benne Dosas inspired by Karnataka’s street stalls to fragrant coastal curries, tangy chutneys, and homestyle comfort dishes, every plate feels like a journey across India’s diverse culinary map. 🍛🌾 It’s not your typical Indian restaurant — it’s a thoughtful exploration of regional traditions reimagined with authenticity and heart. The food is soulful, flavorful, and beautifully plated — a reminder that Indian cuisine is far more than butter chicken or naan. If you’re in Chicago and love discovering places with depth, warmth, and storytelling through food, Nadu is a must-visit. ✨ #NaduChicago #RegionalIndianCuisine #ChicagoEats #FoodieFinds #HiddenGems #IndianFoodCulture #FoodExploration

This is such an incredible dinner spot in the city. I loved their version of butter chicken, rice & naan. The perfect date night idea! . . . #sophinchicago #chicago #chicagogram #chi #chicagobar #chicagofood #chicagofoodauthority #chicagoeats #chicagofoodie #chicagolife #choosechicago #eaterchicago #chicagostyle #downtownchicago #chicagorestaurant #foodie #chicagobucketlist #explorechicago #chitown #chicagofoodscene #312chicago

A very mid experience 🤷🏽‍♀️ I was so excited to try out this new Indian restaurant by a very popular chef, but unfortunately just didn’t enjoy the food. Now I know and I will definitely be sticking to my go to spots.

One month alcohol-free and feeling amazing! Non-alcoholic options like Gulab and Kokum at @restaurantnadu in Chicago made it even better—so delicious and refreshing. Better sleep, more energy, and a clearer mind—loving this journey! Cheers to zero-proof drinks and feeling my best! #feelinggood❤️ #MindfulLiving
