text: Dined at Bunkys last week while visiting a friend in Madison prior to a Badger basketball game The name Bunkys does not even begin to describe the foodwe were expecting a cafe with a great sandwiches and to be in and out quicklyWE could not have been more wrongbut that was okaynnThe place was very eclectic and is a true sit down restaurant probably inspired by cafes in the Middle EastEurasia The menu was just as eclectic with kabobs pasta pizza and plenty of hummus nnThey also serve something that I think was called table spaghetti or something like thatanyway we saw a table of served this the menu says person minimum and it was quite interesting Essentially they cover the table with some kind of protective cover it looked like a piece of marble with a beveled moat around the borderto protect from wayward juices and then proceeded to dump a huge stainless steel bowl of spaghetti and another of marinaragravy directly onto the table It was interesting to watch these people dig in sans platesyes that is righteveryone sort of eats in front of themselves without a plate A very different take on familystyle dining for surennAnyway back to our experiencethe three of us ordered the chicken kabob dinner lamb kabob dinner and some type of penne pasta The kabob dinners come with rice hummus and a couple grilled veggiesI subbed in couscous for riceit was tasty but for the lamb dinner seems a bit of a stretch for what I got All of us enjoyed our food and the time there We will definitely go back
