...Anyway, I loved the food. It is so delicious AND it's unique in the sense that it is the only Indian restaurant in Wisconsin that does not offer a buffet. Fancy pants!

I am not going to claim to be an expert on Indian food but I do really enjoy it. I love everything from the standard chicken tikka masala and samosas to less traditional options like my favorite dish, malai kofta. I have reviewed a couple other Indian restaurants in the Madison area, but Dhaba is by fay my favorite. It opened in 2012, and doesn't offer a buffet.
