About Dhanteraz Indian Fusion
Named after Dhanteras, the Hindu festival that opens the Diwali celebrations, Dhanteraz is a Roscoe Village restaurant that mixes classic Indian cooking with openly playful fusion. You can order a straight chicken tikka masala here, but the more interesting dishes are the ones that cross borders.
What to order
Claypot dum biryani: the house special, layered basmati rice with chicken, lamb, shrimp or vegetables, cooked and served in a clay pot
Butter masala or tikka masala pasta: Indian-Italian fusion, and a hit with anyone who's cautious about spice
Saffron coffee: the signature drink
House special cake: a dessert that changes every week
Good to know
A relaxed neighbourhood room that takes table bookings.
Good for mixed groups, with classic curries for traditionalists and fusion for everyone else.
