My favorite Indian restaurant in Madison. It's always a good sign when an Indian restaurant does not have an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet!
The food is fresh and authentic. One of my Indian friends who dines with us frequently here always requests small changes to a dish, and they always accommodate her.
The owner and chef is Punjabi, so definitely try the butter chicken. Other favorites of mine are the paneer masala, bhindi (seasoned orca), and any of the biryanis. If you like lassi, both the mango and classic lassi are great.
This is a casual restaurant with a quieter than normal atmosphere. Service is efficient and friendly. We never seem to need a reservation - we typically just walk in and are seated immediately.
