Chefs kiss supreme value for money. And though it’s a buffet, it maintains good quality of food. Nice variety and the fruit custard is AWESOOOOME.

As a frequent meat eater, this vegetarian only Indian restaurant is one of my favorite go-tos - the food is so tasty, I never miss meat. I’ve been here for both dinner and their lunch buffet and had amazing experiences. I recommend the vegetable biriyani, the Manchurian baby corn veggie, and any of the masalas - you cannot go wrong with any of their dishes!

One of the best Indian restaurants in the area or rather one of the best south Indian cuisine restaurant here I had the very best onion rava masala dosa here at this restaurant the filter coffee is amazing. The staff is very polite, courteous and helpful with any questions. The place is super clean. The bathroom could do a little bit of work, but it’s not In super bad, I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant and enjoying his dishes and I’ll be back for more

One of the only authentic vegetarian Indian restaurants in the Atlanta area. You cannot go wrong on any of the dishes*. The tomato soup is a must have. The onion and spinach, pakora and Bombay Bhel appetizers are extraordinary. Any Dosai is a winner. The House Special Thali is a great way to experience the unique Indian cuisine. *One recent phenomenon is that the food is so much spicier (hot) that recent years. Unfortunately the servers and staff are unapologetic about the increased spiciness. We have a pretty high spicy threshold and Madras has exceeded it. We still eat there because we love it but have limited our orders to the mildest menu items we can find. Recommended with a caution.

We have been to Madras Mantra many times and have never left disappointed. Dosas were flavorful and the sambar, chutneys and curries were equally good. Vegetable pbiriyani was also tasty and had the right amount of spices. Badam halwa, Rasamalai, Kulfi, and Lassi were also delicious and the rasamalai was a kids favorite. The portion sizes are huge and the staffs are always friendly. This place is a must if you crave for authentic South Indian food!

I've dined in and ordered take out. The take out has been consistent. As long as you get there by the noted pick up time your food will be hot and it's packaged very well to avoid spills. As for the dine in, I've had both their buffet and dinner. The buffet is very delicious with a variety of food options all freshly made. The dinner options are good too. The service can be a bit better in the sense that maybe check up more than a couple of times. Offer refills There's plenty of free parking

Great authentic South Indian food options. The buffet is great on weekends but I feel little over priced. Have been a regular customer for years taste and quality is great

The well known vegetarian Indian restaurant located in a small plaza with plenty of parking. Their dishes were all excellent with tons of flavors and fresh ingredients. Service was great, at the time that we went there were a lot of staff walking around checking if we need anything throughout. Portions were generous. The food came out quite quickly. Definitely have to revisit for trying more dishes. So far everything we had was excellent.
