" I went to Madurai Modern Cafe last week and was pleasantly surprised. The idlis were fresh and steamed to perfection. The dosa had a delightful crispness to it that I enjoyed! I feel the prices are reasonable for the generous portions. The place had a simple decor that fits well with the vibe. The staff could be friendlier, but overall, it was a positive dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was great, just like home. I took my family here and we all found something we liked on the menu! From the Medu Vadas to the Uttapams, everything tasted fresh and mouthwatering. Although the service was a bit disorganised, the staff was friendly and made sure we had what we needed. Will surely be returning for more delightful family meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my experience at Madurai Modern Cafe! The ambiance is clean and resonates with typical Tamil Nadu eateries. The quality of the food is undeniably good, especially the idlis. They melt in your mouth! However, the service was a bit slow during busy hours, which is something they could enhance. Still, I find myself coming back for the flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Madurai Modern Cafe was an interesting find. The service was a bit slower than expected, but the food quality made up for it. I tried their Medu Vada and it was crispy on the outside and soft inside—simply delightful! The chutneys were also flavor-packed and really complemented the vada. Despite a few hiccups with the waitstaff not being particularly attentive, I would definitely return for another dose of authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Madurai Modern Cafe serves the best filter coffee in the area. Coming from a Tamil family, I appreciate how authentic their food tastes. Everything from their ID original idlis to the peppy sambhar takes me back home. Although I faced slow service on my last visit, the food quality was too good for me to hold it against them. So pleased with my visits here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the masala dosa and was left wanting more. The dosa was crispy, but the filling was lacking in flavor. However, the sambhar was a solid accompaniment. The portion sizes seemed generous, which is a plus, but the service left much to be desired as we had to wait too long to place our orders. If they can step up their service game, it would be much better! " (*Curated Review*)

" Somewhat average experience at Madurai Modern Cafe. The food was decent but nothing stood out as extraordinary. The portions were generous for the price, and I appreciated that, but the service was a bit haphazard. The staff seemed overwhelmed with requests, leading to longer waits than I would have liked. I might give it another shot just to see if it improves. " (*Curated Review*)
