" The vegetarian buffet at Madras Mantra was a revelation! I enjoyed the plethora of choices available, from sambar to various types of dosas. However, I felt that some items, like the chutneys, could use a bit more spice. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a family brunch. The service started off strong but became a little slow when the restaurant got busy. Overall, a delightful experience that I’m likely to repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Madras Mantra is a gem! The authentic South Indian flavors are unparalleled in this area. The lunch buffet is a great deal, providing an impressive variety of dishes that change frequently. Everything is freshly prepared, especially the mini idlis and medu vadas. My friends enjoyed the medu vada with chutney while I couldn't get enough of the curd rice. The service was excellent, making sure our table was always attended to. Great spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience at Madras Mantra this time. The food was somewhat fresh, but I found a few items lacking in flavor. The dosa I had was unevenly cooked, which was disappointing. The waitstaff seemed overwhelmed and slow in their service during lunch hours. I had heard good things, but it felt mixed this visit. Hoping for better consistency next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I came across Madras Mantra’s great reputation and visited optimistically, I found it somewhat underwhelming. The food was alright but didn't stand out to me as particularly authentic. Portions felt small, especially for the price point, and I didn't enjoy my experience with the staff too much as they seemed disengaged. I am unsure if I would revisit based on my first experience. Hoping it was an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Madras Mantra and was so pleased! The kitchen was busy, but the staff was still very attentive. I particularly loved the masala dosa and their special chutneys. Everything tasted fresh, and the atmosphere was lively yet comfortable. The price for the buffet is also very reasonable, giving you a chance to explore a wide array of flavors without breaking the bank. I will definitely be coming back! " (*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*)
