Gilt CityDecember 19, 2011This is an upscale restaurant where you won’t find truffle oil or coconut foam—the down-to-earth kitchen eschews molecular gastronomy for more traditional uses of bold Indian and Latin spices.
Tasting menu (Venezuelan arepas duck vindaloo, Mysore lamb chops, artichoke pakoras, cilantro tamarind paneer, grilled Peruvian pulpo octopus)
- Bucket List Pani Puri Margarita (liquid street indian, tequila, tamarind, chili mint infusion, melds india's favorite chaat with mexico's favorite drink)
- Mango Cardamom Flan (coconut foam - fresh mango) with Sorel Jamaica style clove cassia hibiscus ginger
- Curry Leaf Tamarind Paneer (indian cottage cheese, shallot batter, jicama slaw)
- artichoke pakoras (indian fritters, spain's thistle, chili mint chutney) .
- tandoori skirt steak (seared churrasco , indian marinade, garlic spinach)
- Tandoori Skirt Steak (seared churrasco, Indian marinade, garlic spinach)
- kochi lamb chops (keralan marinade, chili mint chutney, pickled onion)
- Kochi Lamb Chops (keralan marinade, chili mint chutney, pickled onion)
- tandoor grilled achari chicken (pickled onion, chili mint chutney)
- "gobi” Portuguese (stewed in a Goan gravy, coconut rice, eggplant chip)
- artichoke pakoras (indian fritters, spain's thistle, chili mint chutney)
Eric RodriguezJanuary 31, 2014Any of the 10 dish menus are great. They give you a wonderful tour of the types of foods they serve here.- Devil in the White City (cardamom saffron liqueur, coconut milk, vanilla)
Shamael Al-SharikhSeptember 1, 2017Fusion food with an Indian flair to it! Central location in Chicago. Very friendly and courteous wait staff.- My Drink My Choice (vermilion cardamom saffron vodka, coconut milk, vanilla, a smooth and sweet tropical essence)
Ariana KaiserOctober 22, 2011The drinks are so different, and DELICIOUS! The food is the best I have ever had, no question. So interesting, I highly recommend it. Worth every penny.
Meghan MartineauJanuary 15, 2012Amazing restaurant. Service was impeccable. Blue corn hearts of palm were my fav. Pear and chili cocktail was to die for. Def come here!!
Kay L.March 5, 2012The flavors are terrific. Try the artichoke pakoras. Or the juhu ki pani puri is fun, with the mint water that you pour into the shell.- Pistachio Kulfi Payasam Jar (Chilled Indian ice cream, keralan payasam)
Corinne SullivanAugust 18, 2012Decent food, but missing a certain je ne sais quoi to bring it to that true gourmet level. Fine dining prices without an attention to detail. Think Ikea does upscale. Scallops are amazing however.
RebeccaOctober 25, 2010Vermillion has two menus, 1 meat and 1 veggie. Worth the visit and the fusion of flavors works. Amazing. try the punjabi chloe from the street fair side of menu.- Bucket List Pani Puri Margarita (tequila, tamarind chili mint infusion)
- caldeirada de peixe (Brazilian seafood stew, Indian seasoning with tomato rice)
- Methi-Kale-Palak Toran (triad of greens, coconut mustard seed nuanced)
- Eric AvnerOctober 18, 2010Menu faves: Tapas - artichoke pakoras; Main - lobster portuguese; dessert - shahi tukra. All out of this world. Waiter Michael C was the perfect menu tour guide.
Christopher DockalApril 29, 2013Lentil soup is spicy and amazing! Gobi and eggplant combo entree was disappointing. Lukewarm and not half amazing as I had hoped. :-(.- Magnificent Mile (sparkling white wine, summer bouquet ice, habanero ginger infusion)
Lx ChenOctober 4, 2015Appetizers and cocktails are great. Devil in the White Citu cocktail was great- Pani Puri Margarita is probably my favorite cocktail here
- Dessert trio (mango cardamom flan, Vermilion hedonism, shahi tukra)
Mark BurkholzDecember 18, 2011I was going to say how awesome the ribs are but now we are killing the goat cheesecake. Truely delicious meal. Don't pass Vermillion by!- #SupportLocalRestaurants#SupportWomenOwnedRestaurants #SupportWomenOwnedBusinesses#ChicagoRestaurants
- Don't miss the lamb chop appetizer and the spicy cocktails.
AkitaDecember 9, 2012The food was good but the service was so slow. We waited for 25 mins just to receive our food and when we did I had to send my plate back. Also the drinks are small and pricey.
Lindsay PomazalFebruary 8, 2013Overrated. The portions left something to be desired. I got the tilapia and was shocked at how small and flat it was. For the price this place is not worth it. However, the flan was superb.
