" I had a delightful evening at Madras Cafe, and I cannot recommend it enough! The menu is thoughtfully crafted, offering a range of traditional South Indian dishes that are both flavorful and tempting. The service was nothing short of exemplary; our server Fernandes was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. I tried the dosa, which exceeded my expectations—crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The atmosphere was warm and calming, perfect for a meal with family or friends. This has become my favorite place for Indian food, and I plan to return to explore more of the menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Madras Cafe is my new favorite Indian restaurant in Orlando! The extensive vegetarian menu is impressive, and the food is genuinely good. I loved everything I tried—the dosas were simply perfect, crispy, and delicious. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating to my dietary requirements. Our server Ronald went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome. The atmosphere is lovely, although it can get a bit loud during peak times. However, the food quality makes up for it! I highly recommend anyone in the area to visit for an authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just went to Madras Cafe for the first time, and what a treat it was! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to unwind. The menu is extensive, and I opted for the bhel puri to start—it was fresh and tangy. The main course, masala dosa, was incredible! The staff, especially Fernandes, were knowledgeable and made great recommendations. Only downside was a slight delay in getting the food, but it was so worth the wait. Five stars all around. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Madras Cafe! Their menu showcases authentic South Indian dishes that never fail to impress. The highlight was the cheese dosa, filled generously. Our server Fernandes was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed for a great meal. The only downside was the wait time during peak hours, but they made our time there fun by engaging with us. I'll certainly be back to sample more of their great dishes—already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Madras Cafe continues to impress! This was my fourth visit, and the food only gets better. The staff is friendly, and they truly care about ensuring guests are happy. I went for a classic masala dosa and a filter coffee that were soul-soothing! But the service this time felt just a bit rushed due to the crowd. I couldn't relish my meal as much as I would have liked. Still, I believe they care deeply about their customers, and I'll be back for more next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Madras Cafe was an absolute delight! The flavors are authentic and remind me of my visits to South India. The menu has a lovely variety of dishes, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff is impressive—they really know how to make you feel welcome. I will say the portions are generous, and I left feeling fulfilled. We ordered multiple sharing plates, and each was delicious, but the paneer tikka was a standout. My only note is that the bathrooms could use a little more attention. However, the overall experience is one I would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic South Indian cuisine, look no further than Madras Cafe! I went with a large group and we ordered almost everything on the vegetarian menu. Each dish was prepared with care and showcased a delightful balance of spices. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the butter masala dosa—rich and buttery, it practically melted in my mouth. Our server Ronald was not only friendly but provided excellent recommendations based on our preferences. The atmosphere was inviting, although it got a bit crowded, which was expected for a weekend night. This restaurant has definitely earned a spot on my must-visit list for Indian food!
