I dined at OM for the first time today for lunch. We were immediately greeted and seated by the friendly hostess. The restaurant is very clean which I noticed and appreciated right away. It has an open feel to it, especially with the partially open kitchen where you can watch the cooks prepare the food. The kitchen too gave a clean impression. Instead of standard plates and cups they have more traditional serving ware which allow plenty of space for food and sauces. The standard Indian buffet staples of tikka masala and mango chutney were curiously missing from the buffet. I am not sure whether that is intentional or if those items just weren't offered today. Aside from wishing I had some mango chutney for dipping sauce I didn't miss those items being offered because the remainder of the selection made up for it - especially the peanut/coconut chutney. The mushroom curry and cashew curry were my two favorites, as well as the Dal. I appreciated that the curries weren't completely mild and had some spice to them. The hot chai was outstanding as was the Gulab Jamun. The best I have had in Madison. Service was friendly and fast. I also enjoyed the Indian music in the background. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
