Madras Cafe

A Madras Cafe that lives up to its name! Dropped by for lunch one afternoon. This place is a real hidden gem. Probably the only South Indian joint on Colaba Causeway. The Madras moniker is used to represent a pan-South Indian cuisine. Dishes served are mostly Bangalore based. We tried the Ghee Podi Idli, Mysore Masala Dosa and the Veg cutlet. Flavour wise, absolutely top notch, very reminiscent of Ramashraya in Matunga. The highlight of the meal, though was the Filter coffee which was brewed to perfection in true Tamil Style. Reminded me of the Kumbakonam degree filter coffee, of which, I’m a regular consumer. Service is fast and waiting staff are very polite and courteous, especially the one who served us. Overall, it was great eating experience! Highly recommended! Would definitely return if ever in the town area just for the Filter coffee!

I don't know if I can judge on the basis of one dish I ate. But if I were to, then for me it was 50-50 kind of experience. They offered two sitting AC and Non AC. First of all AC one was very quiet and peaceful to have your food, but then suddenly it got crowded and some people were acting like it's their house, talking and chatting so loudly that one would be irritated within a minute. Now on food, I ordered idli wada and dosa. I only like wada and sambar, idli, chutney and dosa were not that good. I also had watermelon juice, it was like every other watermelon juice. Service was quick, and food was served hot and fresh. Prices are reasonable too.
