" Madras Mantra generally has good food, but unfortunately, I experienced some delays with service on my last visit. It appeared they were understaffed, as it took a while for our orders to arrive. The food was delicious when it did come, especially the bisi bele bath, which was comforting and wholesome. I love that they maintain a vegetarian-only policy, but a more attentive service experience would elevate the restaurant significantly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Madras Mantra! Every time I visit, I'm blown away by the extensive selection of dosas and the flavors they pack. The service is usually friendly, and I appreciated how the staff encouraged me to try different chutneys with my meal. My favorite is the Mysore masala dosa, and I highly recommend indulging in their thali for both variety and authenticity. Definitely one of the best vegetarian spots in Atlanta! Visiting again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Madras Mantra for the first time recently, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant's vibe felt authentically Indian, with colorful decor and fragrant spices in the air. I was impressed by the freshness of the vegetable dishes and the big portions. The waiter was attentive, taking time to explain different dishes to a novice like me. I especially enjoyed the vada sambhar and their sweet desserts. Can’t wait to come back and explore more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was highly impressed by the variety at the buffet and the flavors were all spot on. Madras Mantra has a great reputation for a reason, and I cannot stress enough how enjoyable the food was. The waitstaff were friendly, and I appreciated their willingness to make sure we had everything we needed. The only drawback was the temperature in the restaurant; it was quite warm during our lunchtime visit, otherwise, it was a fantastic experience. I will be back regularly. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has always been a go-to for me and my family for vegetarian South Indian cuisine. There’s just something about the dosas that bring nostalgia. But lately, I had an experience where the service felt a little bit less attentive during busy lunch hours. Despite that, the food quality never disappoints. Each dish tasted fresh and authentic. I will continue to recommend it to others for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" It saddens me to say, but my expectations were not met at Madras Mantra. After hearing rave reviews, I found the buffet rather lacking in variety. The couple of items I tried didn’t wow me, especially the desserts which felt stale. I had a great experience with the seating and ambiance, which was inviting. Just wish the food lived up to the hype. Maybe I caught them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been visiting Madras Mantra for several years, and it never fails to impress. Their consistency in quality and presentation is remarkable. From the dosa varieties to the thali, each dish is packed with flavor. I particularly love how they cater to dietary needs, including Jain options. The interior is colorful yet cozy, making it a relaxing dining experience. It feels good to support a place that genuinely cares about authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)
