Luckily I work in Madison, otherwise I'd be driving over an hour once a week just to eat here. Amazing ever single time. Best Naan you'll ever have. And there's a lunch buffet, need I say more?

Update: 6 months later and it's still amazing every single time.
Don't work in Madison anymore but still drive up from IL just to eat here. It's literally never less than amazing.
We've tried about a dozen other Indian restaurants looking for chicken tikka masala that's half as good as here and no where comes close.

I always recommend the Friday lunch buffet, it is little pricey but it will give you opportunity to try different kinds of food! Been going there for so long!

I’m disappointed w/ the amount I got. I got the butter chicken. I feel like for the price I paid I should’ve gotten the larger container size. The flavors were amazing. I’m traveling through town so I’m not that hurt. I would recommend if you want good flavor but don’t need much haha.

Great food and attentive service. Main dining room was busy but not too loud to have a regular conversation at our table. Wide variety of menu options. We ate in the dining room and it was busy with take out orders at the counter. We had the sesame nan and the cheese nan along with Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka. Medium spice level was just right for us.

The food here is 10/10. Everything we've had here has been delicious. I highly recommend trying the weekend buffet as it is reasonably priced and let's you try a little bit of everything they have.

Best Indian food on the East Side, hands down. Flavors are amazing, you can’t go wrong! Their chai and mango lassi are excellent. I used to live close to Little India in Chicago (Roger’s Park) so I’m quite picky about my Indian food and praise doesn’t come lightly.

My only complaint is the chicken tikka masala has dry chicken. My “hack” is to get masala paneer and chicken biryani since that chicken is more tender/moist.

Hands down THE BEST Indian food I've ever had. In fact, Swad is my favorite restaurant. Excellent service as well. And, they actually will make food ultra spicy upon request whereas other restaurants say they will and don't. Alex runs a solid business!

We arrived for dinner at 8:40PM on a Saturday night. The rude person at the front was not welcoming and said they close at 9:30 sharp and we'd better be done by then. Wow excuse me for coming into your establishment! These guys need a lesson in hospitality. Food was undercooked, portions were VERY small and not tasty, probably because the cook was rushing the order to get out of there. If you have to have the lights out at 9:30 then just advertise a closing time of 9. Poor way to run a business. We won't be back!

Today was my first time ordering from this restaurant. I used Uber Eats and asked for the food to be mild and not spicy. However, when it arrived, it was very, very spicy.
