Great experience overall! The restaurant has a really nice upscale ambiance, but still feels comfortable and welcoming. It was pretty busy when we visited, and there were at least 10 takeout orders going out while we were there, which says a lot about how popular it is. The service was good and the staff kept things moving despite the crowd. The menu has lots of curry options, so it took a little time to decide because everything sounded good. I ordered my dish medium spice, and it definitely had some heat--enough to make my nose run a bit, but still very flavorful! If you like spice, medium might be perfect. It's also in a convenient location right across from Bowlero and just a minute off the freeway, which makes it an easy stop whether you're local or passing through. Overall, a great spot for flavorful Indian food in the area. I'd definitely go back and try more of the curries. read more

Food was delicious! Ordered the Non-vegetable appetizer platter and the vegetable appetizer platter and Non-vegetable dinner for 2. It was delivered hot and the deliveryman was very polite but order came without the Lamb Curry which was supposed to be on the Non-vegetable dinner for 2. That said there was plenty of food for our party of 3 and we didn't lack for quantity, but I was really looking forward to the Lamb Curry. I will probably try this restaurant again but inside and not delivered to insure we get all we expected.. read more

Ordered to go, everything came packed up super nice even wrapped in foil to ensure no spilling while transporting. Everything was really good! Portion sizes are great this amount easily feeds 3-4 people! read more

We came to India Garden after reading Yelp Reviews. We had the lunch buffet which was "An All You Can Eat" deal for about $20 each. Lots to choose from. I'm typically not a Buffet gal but it was fun to be able to taste a variety of different dishes,some of which we've never had before. Some were better than others. Tiki Marsala was good. Not fond of eating chicken on the bone which was the case in 1 of the dishes. Attentive waiter. Very busy dining room at lunch. read more

Delicious for take out - next time will visit! Excited to have a take out place for Indian nearby with lots of tasty options. Ordered the palak paneer and garlic naan, came with plenty of rice. Good spice level (medium). Wish the garlic naan had some fresh cilantro/parsley. read more

Paneer so good n the roti, chicken good too. pretty restaurant i love the booths lighting is cute feels rich

This restaurant is worth trying if you are a fan of Indian food. The potato samosa was 5/5. The papdi chat although the presentation was a little different than other restaurants I've tried, but the flavor was 5/5. My favorite thing to eat is chicken tikka masala. The flavor was good and the sauce was pleasant. It is not the best flavor I've had and would give it a 4/5. Lots of reviews rave about the tikka masala flavor so maybe it's just my pallet or preference. The service was excellent, attentive and kind! All in all a good Indian spot read more

India Garden - Inside - Indian Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

A group of us went to India Garden yesterday for the lunch buffet. They had prepared a private room for us, which was great. The waiters were efficient, yet unobtrusive, as they poured water, cleared plates, etc. As for the lunch buffet, it was ample, well labeled, had something for everyone. As a vegetarian, I enjoyed a variety of choices. As the names of the dishes were Indian, I cannot indicate which were my favorites. One slight criticism is a few of the dishes were not as hot as I would have liked. But our group was accommodated very well! You might want to check the health score though. I wish I had checked earlier. read more

Went for my birthday dinner and the food was terrific! The waiters even brought me icecream. We chose a wide spread selection for our entree and they were all delicious. We were the only ones there on a Saturday night so it was quiet. The service was great and everyone was so nice! Def returning. read more

Ambiance was great. Service was spot on. The food was great. I like my Naan a bit more crispy, this garlic naan lacked garlic and was limp. The rice was perfect for my Saag Chicken. The chicken pieces were premium, the Saag was a little lack luster for an ask of medium spice. I'd certainly go back though. read more

We chose this restaurant for a Sunday lunch buffet recently because we were in the area, looking for a place to stop for lunch and decided to try it out. And I've just found my favorite Indian buffet in the area. This is the kind of buffet I used to eat in Atlanta and I've just not been able to find something like this. Until now. Now, granted, I haven't tried EVERY single Indian restaurant or buffet in town - but I'm making my way to do just that. And still, and so far, thsi one is excellent. The restaurant ambience is great - and comfortable. It was full of patrons. The buffet is fuller on weekends than weekdays, so if you're looking to sample more items, choose a weekend buffet. The food was outstanding. I can't pick a favorite, but so many of my favorites were on the menu. North Indian as well as South Indian dishes are represented. The buffet line is tucked away in a corner toward the back - it looks small - but it wasn't small. The selection was great. The desserts (a number to choose from) was located in the front near the bar. As you can see from the photos, some of the buffet items include: pani pure, saag paneer, tandoori chicken, naan, and many other vegetable and meat curries. The service was also good, with plenty of staff. We were a party of four- and we all LOVED it. The Indian food is what I crave when I want Indian food. I am already planning when I can return and take friends. If you're looking for a good Indian buffet in the Milwaukee area, this is a great option to satisfy that craving for delicious and flavorful Indian food. read more

The vibe when you walk in is lovely. I appreciate the tall booths that give a little more privacy. This is my go-to for Indian cuisine because they always get it right. I love the lunch buffet with naan, dessert and great staff! read more

First time having Indian Garden and I wasn't sure what to order so I asked the kind gentleman-Prakash to help. I asked for spicy chicken and he suggested the perfect meal. (I should've written it down). I came along with rice and he tossed in a sweet desert that was close to donut holes but way softer and sweeter. They were amazing! This place and the kind of staff they have here is amazing and they go above and beyond to accommodate and answer any questions. This is a must if you have a pallet for mild to spicy food with a ton of flavor! read more

We had dinner here on Christmas day, and the restaurant was extremely busy. Fortunately, we had reservation for the time of its opening, and the staff ran the place very efficiently. The appetizers were served very quickly, but we had to wait for a while for our main dishes probably because the kitchen had to serve a large number of carryout orders as well. We ordered three appetizers (Samosa Chat, Gobhi Manchurian, and Mixed Non-Vegetarian Platter) and three main dishes (Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Bhunna, and Palak Paneer). Given the large volume of food the restaurant serves for both in-person dining and carryout, the dishes were evidently prepared in a relatively simple and highly efficient manner. They all tasted good and seemed to use fresh ingredients, but none had complex or superb flavors that wowed us. The prices are quite reasonable, so we consider the restaurant to be of good value. read more

Always good! Fast service for my to go order. Food quality is consistently good. We order from India Garden often.

Loved stopping here for lunch! I was seated immediately in a private booth perfect for my group of 3. The seating was comfortable and spacious. They have the buffet tucked in the back and had so many options. Butter chicken, veggie manchurian, and plenty of sauce options among other things. Great flavors and the group agreed it tasted authentic. The service was impeccable. Any time we needed something, we were helped immediately. Plenty of water, drinks and naan delivered to the table. Can't wait to go back. It smells heavenly when you enter and I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Amazing tikka sauce. We got lamb and chicken and both meats were tender and delicious. Took a flyer on a random desert (falooda) and it was a little different, but tasty nonetheless. I probably wouldn't order it again but glad we tried it. read more

Excellent service. Fresh, exceptionally good food. Nice atmosphere. Visited several times and plan to several more! Oh yeah, the water is really really good! read more

Got the Mix Combo Dinner for 2 and was not disappointed. Very tasty and very filling, with leftovers for another meal. Picked the Kulfi and Gajar Halwa as our desserts. Maybe it's because it was our first time having Gajar Halwa, but it was incredible. Never thought grated carrots could be a dessert, but it was delicious. read more

I recently visited Indian Garden Restaurant twice within the past few days, and I have mixed feelings about the experience. First, the food is absolutely amazing. The palak paneer was outstanding, and all the curries were rich, flavorful, and well-prepared. Their mango ice cream is also a must-try--creamy, refreshing, and delicious. If you're going purely for the food, it's definitely worth it. However, the customer service needs improvement. During our first visit for the lunch buffet, my friend and I requested an extra order of naan. They said they would bring it, but then continued refilling naan for other tables while completely ignoring ours. On our second visit--also for the buffet--a similar situation happened. As soon as we finished our first plate, they brought our bill right away, even though we were still eating and hadn't asked for it. Other tables were allowed to finish their meals comfortably before receiving theirs. I also requested a to-go cup for my drink, but the waiter never brought it. Overall, I highly recommend the food, but the service made us feel rushed and overlooked. I hope they work on the customer service, because I'd love to come back without feeling pressured to leave before I'm even done eating. read more

I've had good food here. The service is friendly. It's never been busy. The food has been good. They have a large menu. I get the chicken tikka masala (mild) with a garlic naan. Their papadums and sauce are very good. I've tried some of the other food friends have ordered -- seafood platter and fried rice. Everything has been very tasty. There is ample parking and some outdoor seating if you want that. I come here anytime the group wants to eat here. read more

The food here is always fantastic. Though I usually order online when I stop in for pickup the staff is always very nice. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great Indian place. read more

Great all around!!! Lunch food is good, staff is friendly and you feel relaxed which is great on a work day

My husband and I chose India Garden for our wedding anniversary dinner because of the ambiance, the excellent food, decent prices, and the good wait staff. We arrived at 5:30 pm and were immediately ushered to a table. A young man came a few minutes later to present us with the normal appetizer of two chutney-style condiments and a sweet-spicy sauce to apply on thin crispy crackers. All were good, and proved an excellent compliment as I decided what to eat from the extensive menu. Our drinks arrived: my husband ordered Masala spice tea with milk, which was delicious, and I discovered the Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon, a rich, full-bodied red having dark berry flavors with a hint of vanilla and a very long finish. I finally chose Lamb Pasanda, tender lamb chunks cooked with cashews and red wine. My husband had ordered Pishawari Naan, our favorite: stuffed with cashews and spices then baked in the tandoor, this naan is warm and flavorful. My husband ordered Lamb Biryani, chunks of lamb served with chopped vegetables and spices. The naan came just before our dishes were served, warm and redolent of spices. The Biryani was impressive, heaped high in a bowl. My Pasanda was beautifully presented in an elongated dish with delicately flavored basmati rice on the side. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and ordered Gajar Halwa, slightly sweetened shredded carrots cooked in milk, for dessert. We were surprised when the server also brought a dish of Hulfi ice cream with chocolate drizzle and a candle to help our celebration. We took home two bags of leftovers, and enjoyed them for several meals after our dining experience. With good service and quality food and drink, it's no wonder India Garden has become our first choice for Indian cuisine. read more

Ordered take out from here for dinner on a Friday night. Order was prompt and ready when I arrived. Ordered the following for 2 people, and had plenty of leftovers. Butter chicken, Lamb Vindaloo Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Cheese Naan. Everything was tasty and nothing was overly spicy. We did get the chicken tikka masala very hot, and wish it was hotter, but that was a non issue. The two different kinds of naan were fantastic! Each good in their own way. The favorite dish of the night was the lamb vindaloo with the cheese naan. For all the entrees you get a side of basmati rice. Definitely had leftovers for a few meals. If you're looking for great comforting Indian food, definitely won't be disappointed here! read more

This place is great! The food is authentic and delicious! My wife and I went out in a date night and decided to give this place a try after seeing all the great reviews. The food was delicious and did not disappoint. Our waiter was attentive and always ensure we were taken care of but he did not overly interrupt which is what I liked. We ordered a few appetizers and the dinner for two which had different options to choose from. I loved the chicken tikka Marsala. The seared chicken. The Nan bread was fresh and aromatic. I haven't had much Indian food in Milwaukee so this is the best I've had so far! The desserts were interesting and the flavor is something to explore. Would love to come back and try other entrees again. There was plenty of food left for take home. The waiter packed our food and even gave us extra rice seeing that we still have plenty of curry. That was very generous! Next time your in the mood for some Indian food give this place a try! read more

Ordered takeout from India garden and the food was great, the way they packed it up as well the naan didn't get soggy which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend the butter chicken and all the flavors of naan. I did order the shrimp curry and the shrimp was slightly overcooked which was disappointing but I could imagine that's hard to get perfect for a takeout order that may have been sitting. Overall have been back a few times and it's been great! read more

Great selection on the buffet, especially vegetarian options. We were able to enjoy some common favorites, as well as less commonly found options. The flavor for the soups was also spot-on (e.g., rasam, sambar). Hands down the best Indian food we have had in Wisconsin. read more

India Garden, great to-go location for me when I have a craving but a little hefty on the wallet. A dinner time order of chicken tikka masala will set you back over $17 which is a little steep, IMO. Plus, one order of gulab jamun for the SO was nearly $5 for 2 pieces. Maybe these are the going rates with rising food costs and inflation *shrug* but it's a bit lighter/different for lunch menu. Anyway, delicious and fragrant food--tasty samosas, love the chutneys, all the dishes have good flavor, hearty servings of rice, garlic naan on point, etc. All in all, it's a good go to for takeout or a craving fix. read more

Awesome buffet! Great service! Wonderful restaurant. Highly recommend it. Great booths and ambiance.

Food and service was fantastic, definitely will be going back when we are in town again.

Food is decent but service is not great, especially when they get busy. During buffet, same issue - service and food quality suffers when they get busy. They need to have better staffing during peak hours. read more

Fast and affordable, attentive service. The menu doesn't end, awesome variety. Go-to Indian dining in Wauwatosa. Highly recommend!

India Garden is truly a hidden gem of Indian food in Milwaukee. It has time and again impressed me by its service, quality of food and affordability. I called them randomly today and said what foods they would recommend to boost my mood on a gloomy, rainy day and they were all over it with recommendations for uplifting flavors. I have pretty much tried most vegetarian and non vegetarian items on their menu. Today I ordered the warm daal makahani, matar paneer and chai with rice. It really hit the spot and reminded me of the flavors of home. The staff is super sweet and very efficient. Although it is mostly take out nowadays, I am hoping to go back when they open up for indoor seating. 100% recommend! read more

Super solid Indian food. This review is based on a Christmas Day buffet visit. We got there at 2 and they stop serving the lunch buffet at 3. It was packed. The directions to get there seemed weird, but were spot on. They have a big parking lot. BF and I were determined to have Indian for Christmas and wanted to try a new place. So we decided to try India Garden. To be fair, I've ordered carryout from them once before, but that's hardly a fair test. The number of servers and bussers was impressive - almost too much staff. It felt a little like being under a microscope. Everyone was nice, though, and helpful and unobtrusive over all. The buffet should have been slim in the last hour of service. While some dishes were almost gone, food was still being replenished. Why was there a penne dish? There were many vegetarian and vegan options on offer - an embarrassment of riches. There were also a lot chicken dishes, a goat curry and a fish dish. The food was excellent overall. BF enjoyed the goat and many of the veggie dishes. My favorites were the palak, the mixed veggie curry and the paneer. Full bar. Retro-tastic decor. Try it. read more
