About Us

Indie Cafe has become an Edgewater hotspot and a true Chicago original gaining acclaim from food magazines and satisfying palates. Indie's logo is an octopus, the many legs embodying the diverse influences and techniques brought to the cooking. The food stands as a dynamic combination of savory Thai and simple Japanese cuisines presented with artistic elegance. Boundaries are stretched to develop dishes that defy all rules while holding true to the roots of both cuisines. The approach is to amplify or subdue the spices and main ingredients of classic fare then mix influences from different cooking styles until the dishes are something completely new. Iggy and Gui hope that you will find Indie Cafe innovative, fun, and your new favorite neighborhood eatery.
