Indian Lunch Buffet in Madison, WI
17.95 per person, every day we're open. The buffet changes daily with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, while the staples our regulars come for — chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken — stay on the line. Naan isn't sitting out on the buffet on purpose: we bake it fresh to order in the tandoor, and plain naan is included free with every buffet.
How the buffet works
Indian lunch buffet — 17.95 per person
Dine in between 11am and 3pm, help yourself as many times as you like, and let us bring the naan hot out of the tandoor.
Veg & non-veg
Vegetarian and vegan dishes always on the buffet alongside chicken and lamb — nobody at the table gets left out.
Staples stay
Chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken are always there, plus rotating chef's picks from our North Indian kitchen.
Fresh naan included
Plain naan is free with the buffet and baked to order in the clay oven, which is why you won't see it sitting out.
