They need to better manage our communicate it to the customers. After a long wait the food has arrived but was way too greasy, chicken was pinkish (color?) and taste was subpar. Maybe it was an off day for them. But def not an exp that made us want to go back. The staff was friendly and that's the only positive experience on our visit.

Service is phenomenal. They are so friendly and nice. They came to check on us multiple times throughout our meal to make sure everything tasted good. The inside is clean and welcoming. There are enough tables to host a big party. We came in for lunch on a Wednesday around 12:20. Everyone was getting the lunchbox so we decided to try the non-veg lunchbox ($9.99), it came with two sides, rice, naan, chicken wing, and Gobi. It was so much food and delicious. What a deal. Definitely recommend. We also got the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Wow, the tikka was amazing. The chicken was very tender, not dry at all and the flavor was perfect, it wasn't too sweet like a lot of other places which I love. The naan was so fresh. The prices are more affordable than other Indian restaurants in the area. I'm so excited this place opened up next to us. The best Indian food hands down. Will recommend them to everyone.

Service options available with all you can eat, private dining room and vegan options too. Madras Chettinad is easily one of the most satisfying Indian buffet spots around. Their lunch spread is a true celebration of both South Indian and North Indian flavors, offering an impressive variety of vegetarian and non‑vegetarian starters and main courses. There is wide variety of selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods. From crispy appetizers to rich curries and aromatic rice dishes, every item feels thoughtfully prepared and full of authentic taste. Though it's operated by a Punjabi owner, the kitchen team serves very authentic South Indian flavors, and the ambience also leans South Indian--simple, warm, and family-friendly. My favorite is their fruit custard. I do not have sweet tooth but I always get multiple servings of their fruit custard. In the veg, their daal is always a hit and sambaar is close. Non-veg, their chicken and lamb flare well. If you're looking for a delicious, diverse, and satisfying Indian buffet with great customer service, Madras Chettinad is absolutely worth a visit. Plenty of free parking available in front of the restaurant. I would definetely recommend this place to anyone to give a try if you are in and aroud the area.

Hands down to the most amazing South Indian food serving Vegetarian restaurant here in Georgia…read more Have been visiting since their opening in Summer of 2025, and their consistency is just fabulous irrespective of the day and time you visit. Food quality is great and their service, ambience is totally worth it! THE FOOD: This is one Vegetarian restaurant probably on the lines of offering some very unique dishes more specific to Tamil Nadu style at a reasonable price. Some of them seem expensive, but still would say it's really worth it. I have tried almost everything ranging from their South Indian tiffin items to Dosa to Thali to North Indian Curries and Fried rice. My best and most favorite would be their Dosa varieties. There are spicy dishes which they usually let us know ahead as we eat with Kids, and we try to avoid them. If there's a requirement for mild spice they genuinely try to honor it 10/10 times till now. They do have a very nice non alcoholic drink menu which has a lot of refreshing drinks and they are so good. The Paneer Sizzler tikka was amazing along with the Mint chutney. The North Indian curries seemed a bit on the spicy side but still good. The Maha Thali was incredibly good. It has a great variety of items and nicely presented and it varies by week. The only and the main concern I have is the Sambar. While everything here is so similar to what we get in Madras/ Tamil Nadu, Sambar is probably the only item that looks totally off. I really wish they look into this and address it ASAP. Also the recent experience of having Idiyappam with Kurma was kind of disappointing as the Kurma masala was over the top. The Paneer fried rice I once had was kind of okay and dry. Tomato Soup & Desserts were damn good. The quality is usually good and sits well on your tummy. SERVICE & AMBIENCE: A very crowded restaurant on the weekends and wait time can go unto 40 mins to 1 hour during peak hours of Lunch and Dinner. The ambience is so perfect with ample lighting and refreshing as we walk in. The seating arrangements are good and nicely spaced out. The staffs here are extremely courteous and well mannered. They are truly helpful especially the lady with the glasses and the guy Dhayanidhi (I guess that was his name). They sincerely consider the feedback from our end every time we go there and they are outright apologetic if they got things wrong or anything happens. Highly compassionate and friendly people working in here. BOTTOMLINE: Such a lovely Veg restaurant with enormous varieties and great quality and quantity of food at a very optimal pricing. I hope they consider their Sambar recipe to align with Madras/ TN style than being so generic. Extremely friendly and courteous staffs. I have been taking my friends and relatives here and will definitely continue to visit this place. MY PICKS FOR YOU: Paneer Tikka, Tomato Soup, Paneer Kurchan, Srirangam Chef Spl Dosa, Rush Tiffin

I like the way the inside is decorated, it feels very open and clean. The seating choice (orange ones) are a little low to the ground. We ordered a lot of items to share: 1. Paneer Dragon ($14) - I really liked this. It tasted like a classic chilli paneer, but the veggies were a good touch. 2. Banana Bajji ($13) - This was really good. Not something you see very often and came with a chutney. The outside coating was crunchy and it has a subtle flavor. 3. Rava Dosa ($14) - So crunchy and fulfilling. You can never go wrong with a rava dosa. 4. Malai Kofta ($16) - Was pretty standard. It comes with like 2/3 big balls of Kofta. I preferred the other dishes but this is good too. (also a little bit on the sweeter side). 5. Paneer Kulchan ($16) - This was really good. They suggested this as a spicy dish (it wasn't that spicy tbh) The veggies were really yum. My whole family enjoyed this dish. 6. Dal Tadka ($14) - A good classic Dal Tadka. Was yummy and exactly what you would expect. 7. Plain Naan ($4) - Standard naan. 8. Onion Kulcha ($7) - This took so long to come out and was doughy. I would NOT recommend this. Maybe it just needed more time to cook. 9. Gulab Jamun Ice Cream ($10) - Standard. Also, it took forever to get their attention here. The onion kulcha I ordered was taking so long to come, that I just ate my meal with the naan and rice & was full my the time it came. We couldn't get their attention to ask about it or even ask for more water. We also ordered a filter coffee with the dessert, and it was taking so long. I know that they were busy, but they should have warned us about the wait time for certain items. Overall, good food, high prices, good quantity, & subpar service.

The dish had some good flavors, so it's a bit difficult to describe exactly where it fell short--but much of the disappointment came from the eating experience itself. I ordered the goat biryani. While the goat was bone-in, it was overwhelmingly bone rather than meat. There were five pieces total; three were mostly bone with very little meat--perhaps a single bite combined--and the remaining two were largely fat. Although the fat was rendered well, the actual goat meat was nearly nonexistent. The spice profile showed promise, but many of the whole spices used--such as bay leaves, whole peppers, and spice pods--were inedible and abundant. Accidentally biting into them made for an unpleasant experience, and avoiding them required constant effort. I understand that whole spices are traditional in Indian cooking, but the quantity and execution here detracted from the dish. Additionally, the flavor leaned quite floral, which made the overall taste a bit unusual and not especially balanced for me. I also didn't care for the raita. It was very thin and lacked the cool, creamy yogurt flavor that typically brings contrast and refreshment to biryani. Instead, it tasted more bitter and sour. That said, the restaurant was packed, and I was the only white customer there, which speaks to its authenticity and strong local following. While this meal wasn't for me, it's clearly a place many people enjoy and trust.

We ordered 5 curries at a medium spice level and 1 biriyani. For a bunch of non-Indians this was great, especially because we got help with the menu from the server. He was very helpful! Curry Ranking: 1. Malai Kofta - creamy and smooth with a generous amount of kofta 2. Chicken Karaikudi - nice aromatic smoky roasted flavors, comes with a good amount of protein 3. Chicken Vindaloo - a good tangy kick 4. Palak Paneer - not as flavorful as expected 5. Veggie Soya - kinda tasted American almost The garlic and plain naan were great and I appreciate that all the curries come with rice! The mango lassi was super thick and creamy and not too sweet. The Irani Tea was nutty and rich. I'd definitely come back.

I was greeted by a kind young lady that took the time to explain the different drinks that were included with the buffet along with items and sauces that I might not be familiar with. I'm a white guy but Indian is my favorite food and I eat a ton of it, but I still welcomed her suggestions. I loved how large the vegetarian section was that included four soups, Pani Puri and many entrees. Probably the most entrees I've ever seen on a buffet. I sampled many of the vegetarian items and there wasn't a single one that I didn't find enjoyable. I believe that every single employee greeted me and asked how my food was. I was asked for my honest opinion towards the end of my meal and asked what they could do better. Honestly, I couldn't find anything in my opinion that needed improvement. I thanked them for having so many items, especially vegetarian and for having an all day buffet. I can't wait to bring my wife back. The price for the weekday buffet was $14.99, which I find very reasonable, for all that was offered. Great food, great selection, great service and an attractive dining room/buffet. I'm told that it goes up $4 on weekends, but more is offered, which I look forward to experiencing. Don't pass this place up, check it out!
