The Madras Cafe

Social Profile:

The Madras Cafe was born when we realized that with all the restaurants serving a variety of food from all over the world in Dr. Phillips, the restaurant row was missing an all vegan and vegetarian restaurant. Bringing mother’s recipes of vegan and vegetarian food while capturing the essence of the traditional South Indian and some Indo-Chinese cuisine as well, we the team at the Madras Cafe has crafted an ample number of dishes.

Laid-back eatery with cool decor preparing a vegan & vegetarian menu of Indian & Indo-Chinese food.

Best South Indian unlimited thali had in a while. Awesome and tasty big puri with channa masala and masala dosa that too unlimited comes along with thaali. Samosa rasam papad , veggie ,diff veg curries , curd and dessert all were awesome. Must try – filter coffee . Don’t miss it. Customer Service was awesome (Anthony great job) . One of the best authentic South Indian thaali in Orlando . Must visit

Was excited about thali
Which is why we came
No thali
So
We order Dahi puri it was ok no green chutney just tamarind
The butter dosa we order was dry and almost empty of filling
No tomato chutney just watery sambar and tasteless coconut chutney?
We also had rasam no spice but it was hot and tangy
My husband had beer
Food came out to fifty dollars a little high
We left full
I was slightly dissatisfied not desi flavor or fresh
But filling
My husband (he is American) didn’t know the difference and thought it was great
Chole batura for $20
Wow
Very expensive
Thumbs up $8
I don’t recall a chai but if I did it might have been $8 as much as a starter almost
Would I go back no
For me no

They do not have vegan mango lassi or any other vegan yogurt/milk desert. However, they do have great appetizers and main meals. They were attentive to change the sauces to vegan once I requested the main meal be the vegan one. I got Palak paneer (I used to love that dish as a teen) but as the vegan palak tofu. The appitizer fried onions were good and its sauces were good with the dinner. I noted them not having a vegan Lassi 1st because I saw another review that mentioned a vegan mango lassi. I confirmed by phone and the waiter that they sadly didn’t have a vegan mango lassi.

The restaurant’s name suggests an authentic South Indian experience, but the reality was a major disappointment. While the dosa texture was good and the North Indian dishes (chapathi and paneer) were decent, the South Indian staples were a total letdown. The sambar and rasam lacked any depth of flavor and tasted like they were made from instant “ready-to-eat” mixes.
To make matters worse, the pricing is exorbitant. Since they don’t offer thalis on holidays, we ordered rice, sambar, rasam, and yogurt individually—only to be charged $8 per item. Paying that much for “miserable” tasting food feels like a total rip-off. We ended up paying over $200 for a family of 4 adults and three children. To top it off, an 18% gratuity was automatically added; given the poor food quality, I truly hope that money actually went to the hard-working waiters rather than the management. It seems the kitchen understands North Indian cooking but is totally lost when it comes to South Indian cuisine.

Paid ~$45 for filter coffee, Gobi Manchuria, and an onion dosa, and honestly, it felt overpriced.

Filter coffee at $8 didn’t feel special enough to justify the price.
Gobi Manchuria was okay but served in a plastic bowl—if this place considers itself fine dining, the presentation should match the pricing.
Onion dosa was average; the sambar was very thin (almost rasam) and the chutney was cold.

I will stick with old friend, woodlands

Genuine question guys,: Is it just me, or does this place feel way too expensive for what you get? Almost like a rip-off?

Absolutely delicious! We ordered five menu items to split, all as vegan and 10/10 would get each one again
Our server was Anthony, he was friendly, service was quick, and our water was always filled.
We will definitely come back!

Ordered Mysore Masala Dosa and Chilli Garlic Noodles. The dosa tasted good but wasn’t hot enough, same with the noodles.
I understand the restaurant was short-staffed and dine-in was closed early. However, it’s better to say no upfront than serve food with long wait times or compromised quality.
We also ordered two Kathi rolls to go. Waited 30–40 minutes, which was fine since they informed us. But the rolls were very disappointing — extremely small portions, $16 each is not justified, and they were not properly stuffed.
Overall, poor value for money. Quality and portion size need improvement.

For a restaurant with the name of “madras cafe”, south Indian food was not great. Rasam was not tasty, rawa dosa was not crispy despite special request and was too salty. Monchow soup was good and so was tikki chaat.

The food seriously hit the spot — everything tasted insanely fresh and flavorful (the paneer rava dosa was crispy perfection and the pani puri + cutlet had me scraping the plate), but the real MVP was Anthony, our server, who made the whole meal 10x better with his funny recommendations and awesome energy. The vibe is super laid-back and welcoming Would definitely come back again
