Vermilion 10 West Hubbard Street, Chicago, IL 60654

"We had a fairly good experience at Vermilion. Very creative menu with nice cocktails. The presentation was very neat and creative. We ordered the Kolkata street chaat, the paneer wok appetizer - both were great. The gobi Manchurian entree was ok. None of the items stood out as extraordinary but were good. The ambiance was a little off putting. The lighting was too bright, floors were weird looking and music was a little too loud. Nice spot to try some creative Indian menu. They have a mandatory service charge for parties more than one."

"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."

"I visited this restaurant during the restaurant week and was disappointed with the food and service. The menu advertised a price of $59 per person, but it was not clear that the dishes would be served family-style. My party of two ordered fries, wild mushrooms, jackfruit spring rolls, and pompano fish. The food was not great, and the fish was particularly bad. It was drenched in soy sauce and extremely salty. We only took one bite, but we were still charged for the entire dish. The total bill came out to $180, which was unreasonable for the quality of the food and service. After complaining about the taste, the restaurant reduced the bill to $140. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant to others."

"Celebrated a friend’s birthday here and had an amazing experience! The food and cocktails are creative, interesting, and delicious - so nice to see a restaurant that puts a lot of thought into what they serve and deliver great quality. (I got the “What’s Your Beef? and it was yummy and a huge portion! Additionally, the staff was so helpful, kind, and welcoming. Overall, highly recommend Vermillion for the delicious Indo-Chinese cuisine and excellent service."

"This is a sort of hidden gem indian restaurant. From outside does not bring much vibes, but interior is seemingly fresh. Food taste good. For an Indian guy the food is completely on milder side though the dishes I tried says medium to high spice. Food presentation is unique and charming. Food is on an expensive end. The music is surprisingly not outdated (another reason to enjoy "Bollywood Item Number"). Please do not try Pani Puri Margarita. It looks good but taste really bad. Not a good cocktail. The day I visited restaurant it was only myself and no one else. Later few guests joined but I wonder why restaurant was so empty. Seemingly they closed on Friday due to kitchen related upgrades they working on. Overall it seems owner and chef are in this business just for their passion to serve good food. Cheers!"
