About Íla's
A Place Where Everyone Belongs
Rooted in Heritage. Built on Heart. Made to Share.
Ila’s is more than a restaurant - it’s a living tribute to resilience, warmth, and hospitality...
It begins with my mother, who came to America from India in 1971. With determination and compassion, she worked tirelessly to give her children a meaningful life, welcoming anyone lucky enough to sit at her table.
That same spirit lives in every corner of Ila’s. From the kitchen to the dining room, our team of small business owners, designers, and service professionals built this space with grit, generosity, and purpose. We believe that life’s challenges are easier to face – and its joys more meaningful – when shared over food, drink, and genuine connection.
In the heart of Chicago’s River North, Ila’s brings together bold global flavors and comforting familiarity. Every dish is crafted with care, every cocktail thoughtfully mixed, and every detail – from the lighting to the playlists – curated to make you feel at home.
Whether you’re gathering with friends, celebrating a milestone, or enjoying a simple night out, Ila’s is a place where you’ll always be welcomed with heart. Come for the flavors, stay for the feeling, and return for the community – we’ll be here, ready to welcome you.
Inspired by Íla
Íla is the heart of every gathering — a mother, a cook, and the inspiration behind it all. Her spirit shines through in every plate we serve and every warm welcome we offer.
Comfort with a Twist
Our menu blends familiar comfort food with global flavors, inspired by home-cooked meals and faraway kitchens. Every dish is made to feel both new and nostalgic.
A Place to Stay Awhile
At Íla’s, there’s no rush. We’ve created a space where you can relax, take your time, and truly enjoy the food — and the people around you.
