Remember the pulled pork vindaloo tacos we served at Inland Curry every Thursday at Feast World Kitchen? Well they sparked a whole new restaurant concept that we are excited to share with you!
We are excited to announce our new restaurant, INDICANA coming to South Perry street this spring/summer, where we’ll be celebrating the flavors of India X Mexico. You won’t find typical Indian curries that we were serving at Inland Curry or traditional Mexican tacos, but your taste buds will be tantalized with combinations of the vibrant flavors from both of these incredible cuisines. What you will also find the team of friendly faces behind Inland Curry that you have grown to love in a new permanent location.
Think chipotle roasted sweet potato enchiladas with a creamy butter masala sauce, or tamarind-ginger-maple glazed pork ribs with tangy apple slaw and crispy patatas bravas tossed with an Indian spice twist. Or tender pork vindaloo with tandoori-spiced cabbage on warm Naan taco with melted gooey cheese, with a classic Caesar salad with toasted Naan croutons, topped with grilled chicken tikka masala. We’ll have several options for every dietary need, from gluten free to vegetarian to Vegan to meat lovers (and a kids menu designed by parents who understand that children are not always wanting to try something new).
Each dish celebrates the cuisines of India X Mexico, and every bite is meant to WOW your taste buds.
Our location is 1020 South Perry St, just across the street from South Perry Pizza and Perry Street Brewery and a half block south of The Lantern, in a building that has been vacant for over 10 years (the old Hai’s Market, for those of you who knew Perry St ‘back then’). We have a ton of work to do on the building, but we’ve got an amazing team helping us create the perfect landing place for our restaurant. This cozy spot will seat 55 indoors with a full bar, and there’s an additional 1,200 sq ft patio that is adjacent to Grant Park where we’re creating a beautiful outdoor dining experience for the 5-6 warm months of the year.
Indicana is a collaboration between Chef Noreen Hiskey of Inland Curry and Chip Overstreet, former CEO of Spiceology (who has also been a long time customer and supporter of Inland Curry). We’ve been concepting Indicana since Feb 2023 and we had our first concept and menu tasting last April, but we’ve been patiently waiting for the right place to host this innovative food experience.
And we are hiring! First and foremost, we’re looking for an experienced front-of-the-house manager and/or general manager, a position that offers the potential for ownership in Indicana for the right person. If you’ve got experience and a passion for creating and operating a special restaurant experience, or if you know someone who is, please visit our website (www.IndicanaEats.com) and submit your information.
