Description

Freshness is the key for Chicago’s longest running fine dining Indian restaurant and it continues to set them apart from other Indian dining options in the Chicago area. After 36 years in Chicago, Gaylord reinvents itself once more with a move to a larger space in the Gold Coast offering the best fine dining Indian cuisine available in the city.

People in Chicago will seem familiar with Gaylord Indian because of its long-rooted history here – first opening in 1972 as the only original franchise location in the United States. Today, each is individually owned making Gaylord Chicago the area’s only option for Indian fine dining with two locations in the Gold Coast and Schaumburg.

Gaylord was established by two renowned Indian restaurant entrepreneurs in Chicago in 1972, Mr. Gai and Mr. Lamba, and is the oldest Indian restaurants in Chicago. The pair had already opened locations in India and London and they were eager to expand to the U.S. Chicago was chosen as the first location because of its huge ethnic base and the fact that there were no fine dining Indian restaurants in Chicago at the time. Although the restaurant was a franchise in the 1970’s, the owners sold the restaurant in the early 1980’s, and now all Gaylord’s around the world are independently owned and operated.

Gaylord Chicago offers a sophisticated setting and the freshest Indian cuisine available. Each day chefs use the freshest ingredients in their lunch buffet and al a carte menus featuring a variety of regional fare and staple favorites, offering a consistency in freshness not found elsewhere.
