Kama sits on Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park, one of three locations for this Chicago-based Indian restaurant group, alongside spots in West Loop and La Grange. The kitchen works Indian spicing into cross-cultural dishes — curried lamb tacos, crispy chilli potatoes with spiced Kama ketchup, ghee roasted cauliflower with goat cheese and mint chimichurri, and a from-scratch ravioli alla makhani built on paneer, mozzarella, ricotta, and a vodka-spiked makhani sauce. The regular menu is built to flex around vegan, gluten-free, and spice-customizable requests.
For a longer sit-down version, Kama offers Ameri-Kama, a six-course experience by request that moves through dishes like 48-hour sous vide tamarind-glazed short rib and a bourbon-spiked gulab jamun for dessert.
The room has a following for its ambience, and regulars point to the naan and samosas as standouts on the menu.
