Madras Coffee House

Nice cozy and comfortable cafe. Being situated in an area where already many famous cafes are around, it has really created a niche for them. Be it their range of south Indian snacks options or perfectly brewed filter coffee. Taste is awesome, people are nice, prices are reasonable and location is cool. What else you want for a good comfy morning breakfast or a snack break from hectic office work. They have got few South Indian thali options also if you are looking for a quick lunch options. Overall good experience.

One of the good place to try south indian food. We tried Dosa and Vada. I liked all the deep chatni available with dosa. Seating : Nice comfortable cafe look. They also have seating at top. Service: Instant and nice Quality of food : Everything we order is nice. Loved the Ginger tea on ending note. Bill : Pocket friendly

That authentic taste of sambar, I missed for like a decade, since been to South India, put a smile on my face. First time I had been there with my wife and her spirits were lifted instantly by the beautiful aroma of the coffee. Yes, it's the same loved fumes of coffee in the air as you enter which is served in the typical steel glass-katori style of South India. The ambiance is not overdone but nothing left to expect. The staff is nice and definitely not late or loud like some typical south Indian cafes. The food has the authenticity sprinkled all over it and with lovable home like combos. I love it and it will be one of my favourite places to taste the sambar.

We go here regularly for the filter coffee, and it is one of the best in a radius of around 5 km. The food is very good, and if you want good south Indian, do yourself a favour and come here. There's also another place that's opened jus down the street from here, but this one is much better. The sambar is thick, coconut chutney is crunchy, and the dosa is perfect as per your order. We've also had the mini meals, and that too is delicious. Another pleasant surprise was the 'onion pakoda', which is the normal Kanda-Bhaji.

From the looks of the place, modern and cafe like, my expectations was the food might not be authentic type etc. Though the menu firstly got my attention as it has some dishes which are very typical to a authentic south indian restaurants; Rasam Idli, Podi Idli; Bisebhelebhaat; Guntur Idli. So I thought to try something little first and then decide if it was worth the taste. So, I ordered Rasam Idli - Idli dipped in rasam instead of the much known sambhar. The rasam was thicker as per me and could have been more watered down, though the spices in rasam was great, much like the south indian rasam. Next ordered, guntur Idli and it was well made with Idli dipped in ghee and coated with Podi powder. The Podi was good balance of chillies and pulses and with ample of ghee the idli was great. I was expecting atleast 2 chutneys or chutney and sambhar, as this Idli is dry to eat on its own. Lastly ordered plain Dosa and wasn't expecting such huge dosa, for the price they have put dosa on menu. But it was pleasant surprise to see such huge dosa and two chutneys and sambar. Dosa should have been more crispier that it was but taste wise again it was good. Overall a great place to try south indian food with some varities that is not available generally in so called south indian restaurants.
