    Was excited to find that they have a Madras Cafe in the East Bay but disappointed because it didn't taste like the Sunnyvale location. Located inside a grocery store. Pros: *easy parking *no line. Wasn't busy. Food came out fairly quickly. The menu seems to be exactly like the one in Sunnyvale. But keep in mind I went on a Tuesday evening and I'm not sure how busy they get on the weekends. Cons: *taste wasn't the same to me. I ordered the onion rava masala and kothu paratta. The masala inside the dosa tasted bland, not a lot of flavor or spice. Fairly clean tables, though the silverware didn't seem clean. Some spoons had leftover food stuck on. Overall it was just average.

    They have the best Dosa so far compared to other places. I like that the dosa is perfect golden brown & cruchy. This place is a bit less busy compared to Sunnyvale location. The foods quality is the same as Sunnyvale. Highly recommend to try this place.

    This place is finally open! The perfect place for your South Indian food like idli, Dosa, Vada etc. They have their soft opening now and plan to open full fledge over time. If you have visited their Sunnyvale location, the chutney, masala, sambar etc are just as good! Currently they have a limited menu that consists of Idli, Vada, Masala Dosa, Plain Dosa, Chole Bhature and Chai. The taste of the food is amazing, the service quick and place pretty clean. They have a small section within Madras Groceries to sit down and a kitchen. With I'm just a few places serving good South Indian food in the area, this is a definite winner. Will go back once they have more items added to the menu!

    Madras Cafe is our go-to spot, especially since we live nearby. Every time I visit Madras Groceries, we make it a point to order from there for a quick snack or dinner. They never disappoint! We're big fans of their sambar and the three varieties of chutney--they're always delicious. It's our regular place for a reason, and we always leave satisfied

    This restaurant is inside an Indian grocery store, and there is plenty of seating. It can get a little loud because people are grocery shopping, they are playing music, and the kitchen is near the seating. Depending on the rush, food takes roughly 5-20 minutes to be served. My friends and I came in for dinner the other day, and the food was amazing. I got the Podi Dosa, and it was crispy, spicy, and all the sauces were freshly made. I'll definitely be going back to try the other dosa options.

    The Rava Dosa here is out of this world. Delicious. The best I have had in the Bay Area.

    I went with high expectations but disappointed. The Idli and Dosas were dry and the side dishes very not flavorful. Very average food.

    Bad food and rude staff. An advice to the business, better not to serve a dish if you can't cook it rather than cheating your customers.

    Been getting take out 2/3 times a month from here since they opened. And it never occurred that I…read moreshould review them. Until tonight that is , when I went to dine in with a couple friends. If you walk into a place on a Wednesday night, and all the tables are taken, that's a sign. You walk in and it smells incredible, that's a sign. You see people laughing and chatting while partaking from varied dishes, then that's a sign! We ordered the Naga special chicken curry, the brinjal curry and the shrimp mango curry( that comes with rice), and roti and naan. Portions are ample , place is clean and service is satisfactory. Our sever Gopal took care of us in a timely and friendly fashion. The food itself, I mean , the flavors are all there. Each dish tastes unique and you get a sense you are eating out. No home style simple cooking here, the spices are intense and each dish has a bite. Isn't that why you go out to eat? Prices are really good, if you consider what other places charge for entrees. And everything comes out piping hot and fresh. So don't wait till the weekend to try it out, go today!

    Shout out to my Yelp bud, Sid, for the recommendation! Went with my dad who enjoys Indian food…read more The SERVICE is spectacular. Never quite experienced an Indian restaurant with so much attentiveness and kindness. Server kept asking how our food is and if everything is alright :) We ORDERED the special goat curry, butter naan and butter roti (we went to another restaurant before this haha). I appreciate how descriptive their MENU is as they do list the ingredients. The goat was tender, juicy and delicious. Server warned us that medium is super spicy so we went with mild which we did not think it was spicy at all. Naan and roti were good. Roti is a bit more dry than the naan. Would order the naan again. VIBEZ: Lots of take out orders. Lots of different cultures and ages dining in. Love the modern and clean decor. Located in a plaza with tight parking. Would I come back? Yes! Why the 4 stars? I wish they'd leave a tray of napkins on the table instead of the need to repeatedly ask for more napkins (because some of us/some cultures can't stand the oiliness on their hands...). I also wish there was more variety on their menu especially regarding the veggie curries... what happened to palak paneer? :( ...also found it to be strange that their online menu was different especially regarding the apps portion. Plus I always order rice and when I saw multiple tables ordering rice, it was just a bowl of white basmati rice...wished they'd flavor it like multiple other establishments.

We go for the spicy one but, regular for kids..& my kids love it too! Introduction of Vada Pav was for sure a hit.. usually go for the Szechwan one but the chura that comes with it is amazing. Great set up with city names from India & some pictures.. casual vibes! We've also got a catering order for a birthday party.. timely & great with packaging and handwritten notes thanking for the order were much appreciated. Almost all the guests older and younger asked about the Pav bhaji being so good.. Recently, placed a doordash order but it seemed that one Vada pav of the two was missing. I called the owner who promptly said that he'll reimburse me with a coupon for next time. He went above and beyond with checking his camera footage & identified the danger May have tampered. He even blocked him from taking orders from the restaurant & even reported him. 100% professional & great business ethics, props to the owner!
