I stop by this place whenever I’m in the mood for something different, and it’s never been a disappointment. The food is consistently flavorful and a bit outside the usual routine — my go-tos are the Lemon Rice and the Ghee Cone Masala. Both dishes have great balance and taste fresh every time.
That said, the portions run on the smaller side, and the prices feel a bit steep for what you get. The interior is very plain and utilitarian — clean, but it has more of a cafeteria vibe than a spot where you’d want to linger. A bit more character or warmth in the atmosphere would go a long way.
Still, for something tasty and out of the ordinary, it’s a solid option. I’ll keep it in rotation when I want a quick, interesting meal.

The food here is great! The idlis are super soft, the vadai is really crispy (a bit oily though), the chapathi and kurma are so homely and nice, sambar and chutney taste great (sambar could be thicker though).
The only issue here is the wait time for food- it’s SO slow. I’ve usually seen only 1 person taking orders as well as preparing the food. So it’s a good 20 minutes post ordering to receive your food. They could use more staffing to help offer quicker service.

One of the best South Indian restaurants in the Bay area.
I loved the taste of chutneys and sambhar, which is the major USP of any South Indian restaurant. Dosa textures and softness of idlis was also amazing.
We tried Kara Dosa, Spring Dosa, Idlis and Medu Wadas.
All recommended !
The service is quick and they do have some outdoor seating along with indoors.
Enough parking in the complex.

I’m not a great judge of Indian cuisine, but the food I had was good. My only criticism is that portion sizes seem a tad bit on the smaller side. The dosa felt kinda empty and I wouldn’t mind paying more for larger/more idlies if I’d have known. Also got a couple uthappams and a dessert to go, which were good.

One of the authentic and underrated Tamil vegetarian restaurants in the Bay area. Ghee onion Rava Dosa was crispy and pongal with medu vada was amazing. Poori with kurma was tasty too. The sambar and chutneys they serve are truly special. Idly here is very fluffy. But paneer bhurjee dosa was too dry and average.
Coffee didn’t meet my expectations.

Madurai Modern Cafe is a fantastic spot for quality South Indian food. We got masala vada to start, dosas for entrees, and the classic filter coffee to top it off. The vadas (3) were crispy and chutneys were great. I got the Chennai special dosa which was plenty and the filling was delicious! My friend got the Mysore masala dosa which was also quite good. Sambar and chutneys (coconut, orange, and coriander) all were flavorful and not spicy. The filter coffees were fantastic, not too sweet or bland, just right. There’s ample parking in this plaza and they have a pretty good amount of indoor/outdoor seating. Service was great, we didn’t wait too long for our orders and got each order (appetizers, entrees, coffees) one after another which was nice. Highly recommend!

Pure vegetarian restaurant. The taste was good. It’s beside the 7-11 store. They had outdoor seating as well. Idly Sambar and Vada Sambar was good. We can visit multiple times and try out other dishes as well.
We have to order the food at the counter and they will serve to the table. Water, spoons are self serve.

One of the best restaurants serving authentic South Indian delicacies.
Have been here more times than I can remember and have tried almost all items on the menu. Not once have I been disappointed.
Idli-vada-pongal combo is my favorite go-to dish along with the aromatic filter coffee!
