food and drink
The bar scene abates just south of Fullerton on Clark which I think is the reason for this simple civilized Indian restaurant's existence in a theoretically unsexy area.
We tried it last night and my husband, Angie Mills and I agreed that the food was very good. The ambiance is 
soothingly quiet with soft Indian music as an accompaniment. Photos of India on the walls and tables with white cloths (and a de rigeur red carnation) added a pleasant touch to the simple decor. No TV or it wouldn't make it to chicagoTips.
Mixed vegetable curry, chicken saag (fresh spinach and chicken cooked with ground spices) and rogan josh (tender lamb with herbs and spices in gravy) were the dishes we shared along with delicious fresh naan. Nine different breads are offered along with a wide variety of meat, chicken, vegetable and shrimp dishes.
Dinner prices are reasonable, mostly from about $10 -$13. Indian Grill is open every day. Lunch is also served except for Monday and Tuesday. A carry-out menu and delivery are also available. The restaurant is two years old. We far preferred it to Hema's, just north of Fullerton.
Indian Grill, 2258 N. Clark. 773.477.8000. It's also BYOB.
