Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Madison

Todd M. • November 22, 2014The key to eating Indian food is going to buffets. This one is top-notch. It has all the standards, plus a lot of other solid choices. Multiple breads, including two naans! Reasonably priced as well.

Taiowa W. • December 27, 2022Excellent pastries and bread. I recommend grabbing a croissant and coffee and sitting down in the cafe. Then grab a loaf of sourdough on your way out. There are also excellent sandwhiches.

Nick R. • January 31, 2015Pork abd beans with the salmon at Sunday brunch are fantastic! Great bloody Mary's. All around best brunch I've found in Madison.

Raja S. • July 28, 2015Pan cakes and omlets, but best part is watching the small jets take off and land. Kids will enjoy !!
