You can’t go wrong with this place. Every bite has the charm of love and wisdom. The owner and staff are attentive, caring, and very grounded, making the space feel like a hearth, a home I can relax in. I’m always surprised and delighted by their specials as well as their most classic favorites. This is the only place I know that can truly make incredible food from all across the globe in such a small environment. I always leave feeling stuffed to the brim as I try to finish every last drop of the curries and every last grain of rice. My reverence and respect for the establishment and its people always motivates me to lick my plate clean.

Food was amazing, the service was great the people are so nice, and despite the small space, The Globe feels very cozy and welcoming. Weather was nice so I ate outside, highly recommended.

This place has delicious tic tac curry and Afghan korma! Very flavorful and full of spices. I highly recommend this place. If you have low spice tolerance, try sticking with a 1 (mild). FYI: if you come during peak lunch and dinner hours, it may be difficult to find a table as there are only 5 tables inside.

A ton of 5-star reviews for this place with a recent uptake in 1-star. Here to put it back on the good list because, as a first-timer, I was thoroughly impressed. Took a guest i was hosting per his request in wanting to try it out. Definitely cozy- (less than 20 capacity so I’d be mindful of timing your visit). That said, with it being about 75% full. Our food was ordered and out in less than 10 minutes. Additionally, server checked in multiple times to make sure we were okay. Food was wonderful! Also, multiple options that can be veganized. Not a complaint, just an observation- when they say they go spicy, they mean it. I tolerate heat very well, ordered a 3 out of 5 and it packed a punch lol. Both dishes were delicious and I’m very excited to take this place for many more spins. Thanks for a great visit!

Delicious and diverse menu will be sure to satisfy everybody craving world cuisine. Tibetan, Thai, Korean, etc. They do it all well! Level 5 spicy is mouth watering and flavorful. I highly recommend 4 or 5 for spice hounds like myself. Friendly folks and convenient location. Try it today

A cozy spot with truly amazing fusion food. We’re obsessed with the tikka masala tacos, the fried dumplings, and the Mediterranean falafel sandwich. And the fries? Absolutely out of this world—perfectly crisp and seasoned with a spice mix that takes them to the next level. I’ve been here more times than I can count, and it never disappoints.

We stopped in for a late lunch and OMG SO glad we did. Ordered several dishes so we could share and try. Everything was fantastic!!!! The level of spice and flavor explosions - Yum We can't wait to come back and try more dishes. The spot is small so seating limited for sure.

The skepticism of being a fusion place dissipated immediately upon walking in. In fact, its curry dish was possibly one of the best in Midwest. Tiny little dining area only adds to the charm with friendly service. Run by family with generations of connection to Madison. Highly highly recommended.
