Amazing food and service! My arms were pumping as I was eating it because it was so tasty. Huge menu so I’m glad I researched it ahead of time or I would have been overwhelmed. Large portions but I knew I’d be bringing some home so no complaints there. The aloo tikka had a bit of kick that I didn’t expect but it was very good, especially with the mint sauce and whatever the chunky red one was. Didn’t care for the syrup brown one and I’m not sure what it was (wasn’t explained on the menu and I didn’t ask). Also ordered the butter paratha, chicken kabob (level 2 spice which is nice to have the option, chicken was very tender), and pistachio kulfi for dessert. The servers were very attentive as well. Excellent all around!

I spent a week in Middleton for business and wanted to check out a different restaurant each night. I ate at five, all in a similar price range, and Dhaba was by far my favorite!
I went in knowing I wanted the Shrimp Tandoori and some Lassi. The tandoori was incredible, served with jumbo shrimp, peppers, onions, rice and raita. I loved the mango lassi, as well. They have a sliding scale for spiciness, and being cautious I chose a 3, but found it a bit mild. Next time Ill be trying a 4 or 5 for some real heat!
Service was amazing. I often feel ignored as a single eater while on trips, but both the server and host (who I assume is also the owner) were very warm and inviting. I was checked in on frequently.
The atmosphere is warm and intimate, but still feels upscale.
As other posters have said, they offered a 10% discount for cash, which I took advantage of.
Definitely suggest anybody in the area check out out, even ud it’s your first Indian experience!

Our first try of their take out, it was very busy on the new years eve, our naan and poppadom were both burned and the paneer was quite cold and hard (we fixed it with 8 mins in an air fryer). The lamb curry was delicious. Would be open to try it again on a less busy day.

Excellent Indian dishes. I’m pretty basic but have a good base to compare and the chicken tikka masala was delicious. Along with the saag, I ask for no paneer and it was delicious too. All the condiments with the papadums made this a perfect start to my meal. The service was perfect too. Sometimes I find service can be slow at Indian restaurants, not here they were on top of everything. Will definitely be returning.

The food was very good but portions were small we felt. Except that One of the best ambiance and excellent customer service. The owner served us himself. Very polite and respectful person. Plenty of Plaza parking available. 10% Off is provided if you pay cash. The owner was very generous (Cannot disclose the reason, might affect his business) & helped us in time of need. Thanks so much

Classic flavors, excellent food. I haven’t had Indian food this good in a while. I had the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Both were on point. Actually that naan was something special on its own. I’d recommend this place on the naan alone, but the main dish was also excellent.

I have dined in twice and had the same exceptional experience. The atmosphere is nice while also being relaxed. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick. There are many options of beverages and food. Most important the food is delicious. For less adventurous people the dishes can be made without spice. I highly recommend eating here for any occasion.

I have been to 49/50 states and 37 countries, so far this is the best Indian food I have had anywhere in the world. It is always difficult to find a good mango chicken option since many restaurants do not make it, I was delighted to find not just chicken but lamb, shrimp and vegetable mango options as well. As a fan of extremely spicy food I elected for “6/6” and it did not disappoint, it was the perfect level of serious burn but not overwhelming with a solid build rather than an instant burn. My wife’s butter chicken (3/3 spice) was also excellent and perfectly balanced for the level she ordered. Every single thing we tried from the menu was absolutely delicious. I even came back the next day to try the salmon tikka and it was also fantastic. Samosas, mango chutney, garlic naan, (Wisconsin) cheese naan, lamb vindaloo, mango lassi, pistachio kulfi and kheer; every single thing we ate was truly amazing and I hope to make it back to the area to try more stuff off the menu.
The service was also excellent, the man who I assume is the owner was delightful and obviously very passionate about the restaurant and the experience that guests have while eating there. He made solid recommendations, checked in frequently and had short but fun genuinely interesting conversations with us both times we ate there. While the quality of the food is all the reason you need to come here, this place is the full package and there is honestly not a single thing I would change about it.

I cannot express how much we all enjoyed Dhaba’s delicious food and exemplary service. As always, the service was impeccable, the food delightful and the ambiance perfect for a catch up with dear friends. Best of all, the servers remembered comments I made while ordering (I love their mint chutney) and packed up a serving for me to take home. Despite the generous portions, I am sorry to report my kids ate all my leftovers immediately so there goes my next day lunch. 10/10!

Wonderful, the spice was perfect I like the 6+ but you may not. It was spicy enough for a pepper junky with out hurting him. Honestly the Korma is wonderful little pieces of cashew pepper the sauce and when combined with the perfect spiced rice, pow what a great finish. The garlic naan was so fresh, right out of the Tandoor what a great finish to a wonderful day.
