Excellent service and food. Many items to choose from mild, medium and spicy. Have tried many items on menu and many more to try. All good and no favorites yet as all have been very good. Portions are plenty and usually taking some home. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food is pretty standard Indian and the service is fine. I thinkt their prices are very high. The ambiance is not good (the yellow walls are unnerving) and the last two times we've been there a staff member has been polishing silverware, for some reason they do this in the dining room. It is SO LOUD as they toss each piece into the bin with other utensils and it goes on and on. It's a pretty unpleasant and avoidable irritant. Last time, we arrived at 1:40 and the buffet closes at 2:30. We paid $20 each for the buffet and they never replenished any of the vegetarian options for the entire 45 minutes (except rice and naan as we were going through at 1:45). The restaurant was packed when we arrived so there were plenty of people eating from the buffet; keeping the food available was certainly warranted but there were a couple dishes that we never got to try, and the others all ran out quickly. I'm not sure if we'd go back for those prices. We told the host/cashier and he gave us a mango lassi to go.

Best INDIAN food in Madison hands down! My mom told me about this place and I was skeptical at first because I am not a fan of trying new foods but it was DEFINITELY WORTH EVERY PENNY! only thing I didn’t like was it took over 20 minutes for us to be served otherwise food was delicious Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chicken Tikka Masala

Fantastic service and even better food. We were in from out of town and, when traveling, it can be hard to find truly good Indian food. The goat curry (hot) was filled with flavor, and the meat was so delightfully tender that it fell off of the bone. Everyone in our party had plenty to eat, and everything was delicious. If you are in the area, this is the place you have been looking for. Vegetarian options: As one would expect, there are extensive vegetarian options.
