Took some people to Darbar Indian today on the west side of Wisconsin Avenue (between Mason and Badger on the south side of the road, next to Mr. Cinder's). Amazing! I've been there for dinner a couple of times and love the place, but the buffer really shines as far as lunch options go. Very large number of dishes to choose from, and they were fabulous. The chili chicken was amazing, and the chicken makhani, a favorite of many people, was superb. Very nice mix of chicken and vegetarian dishes, delightful mango ice cream, fresh naan bread, and a variety of richly flavored dishes that will make you want to come back. Service is also very professional and helpful.

As of today, Indian Danbar is my vote for the best lunch in Appleton. Will that title last? We have so many great restaurants in town, but Indian Darbar is soooo good - is there a better place? I'm accepting nominations - and guest passes (why not?).
