We got the butter chicken with garlic naan for takeout. This butter chicken was genuinely amazing. I LOVE that it was cut more into "strips" with strips of onion for a nice crunch and consistent texture. This is a perfect portion size for 2 people for dinner. The naan was perfect as well. My boyfriend went in to pick it up and said the staff was extremely kind as well. We will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Madras Grill - Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Chelmsford, Massachusetts

Came here for their street food night. Both the price and food were unbelievable. The servers were very friendly and the service was great. The only not great thing was the amount of patrons. This place deserves more customers. The pani puri was fantastic. All the specials on the buffet that night were great as well. Constantly hearing people say you cant eat out for less than 80 bucks for 2 people. We ate til we were stuffed tried multitudes of dishes and left with a check for less than 50 including 20% tip. read more

We are super picky when it comes to all food, but especially Indian, and had low expectations. We were skeptical but needed a place to accommodate six Indian food loving people coming from different parts of the state. We decided to give it a shot and so glad we did because every single person in our group absolutely LOVED it! Don't judge a book by it's cover! First, we had two vegans in our group and they were super accommodating to their needs. Even if our waiter didn't know the answer, he would go check and get back to us. The dosa was perfectly thin and super flavorful. The veggie pakoras were crispy and not done in the fritter style that some places do that can often be doughy. The garlic naan was thin and crispy, not dense at all. All of the dishes had tons of flavor and spice with thick, luxurious sauces. Although everything was excellent, our hands down favorite dish was the eggplant with a hint of peanut in the sauce. I've never had an Indian dish like this before and would return just for this alone. Everyone in our group raved about it. Although I don't live in the area, I will definitely go out of my way to return to Madras Grill! read more

Madaras Grill was on the way when we were heading home after a trip to Northern MA. We looked at the positive Yelp Reviews of the restaurant and decided to give it a try and we're not disappointed. We ordered takeout with Fish Koliwada for appetizers, Goat pepper fry for entree with tandoori roti and naan bread. The pickup was ready on time and the server was friendly. The Fish Koliwada is a Bombay style masala battered fried fish (boneless tilapia here). We ordered the spicy version and liked the level of heat. The Goat pepper fry was a chettinad style, succulent goat meat (bone-in) cubes cooked in a south Indian style peppercorn sauce. Although delicious, it was a bit too oily for our liking and extremely spicy although we specifically ordered medium spice level. The cooler near the pickup counter displayed Meetha Paan which was tempting to resist, especially since one does not usually see them in most restaurants. We got a few pieces and they were refreshing. Overall Madaras Grill offers a decently good option for Indian food and I would definitely come back to explore rest of the menu. read more

I used to get take out from here a lot when I worked down the street from there, but this was the first time I dined in. I'm not sure what I was waiting for to actually dine in! The food was freshly prepared and delicious. There are restaurants where, when spicy is requested, they don't believe you and bring it medium. But not here, my son likes his food spicy and they delivered. My son tried ours, which were medium, and he said there was a difference. The portions are generous. The bar itself is beautiful and ornate. Everyone working was friendly and helpful. The only I will say, and it was not uncomfortable enough to complain about, was the dining room temperature. It fluctuated between blowing nice warm air and cold air. When the cold air was blowing it would become a little uncomfortable, but then the warm air kicked back on. It was 14 degrees outside so if you go on a cold night like that wear or a bring a layer or two. Otherwise I highly recommend enjoying a nice warm meal from Madras Grill! read more

The buffet on the weekend is out of this planet, spicy Indian food! Highly recommend.

Went here for the special dinner buffet last month and WOW! I hope they do them more often. It is absolutely delicious and fun and a fabulous deal at $17.95!!! Particularly good for people: - no allergies/restrictions (very minimal signage). - happy to try food without knowing what it is. - likes spicy food. It's not overpowering but it is quite spicy. - not expecting "typical" dishes - no chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, etc. - not in a hurry - they seem a little flustered and some people seem eager to get the check, and they now have a wait for larger parties. The bathrooms are not gender-neutral but they are individual in the same hallway, and look accessible. The food is amazing and I'm very glad I went!! They are also bring out more food constantly, it's not sitting around. read more

Great Ambience, staff, and food! No wonder why so many people are leaving great reviews to this place. Right from the moment they seat you at a table to the ambience, the food and the service is just impressive. Highly recommend dishes- Chicken 65, chicken biryani, Mutton Biryani, Butter Chicken, Goat Biryani, Cut mirchi... P.S- Owner confirmed that the Mutton/Chicken is Halal. read more

There is a new waiter, Suraj, who makes a great Spicy Gimlet! I highly suggest trying one of his drinks.

Horrible food and pathetic service. Spicy level is extreme. Children cannot eat anything at this place. Refill food takes so much that you will get frustrated and will try to pay and leave. Please don't waste your money and try some good place. read more

Had one of my favorite lunches, a Tandoori mixed grill and Samosas. The mixed grill was very good and a huge serving. The samosas were very good and hot. Both obviously served just after they were cooked. read more

I came here with my significant because a friend (who is Indian descendant herself) talked very highly of Madras. The atmosphere is warm, which draws a lot of families in the restaurant. My bf had a lot of questions about certain beers and dishes and the waiters were very helpful and very attentive. The chicken tasted amazing and the Naan bread. My bf is obsessed with garlic Naan and he loved this one. I am a big fan of the sweet Naan bread and this one didn't taste artificial like at other Indian restaurants that I've been to. We will definitely come back here again for lunch/dinner. The flavors and spices worked so well together. I wish they offered different sizes for draft beers and that the vegetable samosa was more than 2 piece, but overall, very good food and quick service! read more

Madras Grill - Yummy! - Indian Near Me - Chelmsford, Massachusetts

Authentic South Indian food! Staff were courteous and the spread was quite elaborate. Highly recommended

The food is authentic and awesome! Tried 4 dishes and was very pleased with the entire experience. The wait staff was attentive and prompt. I'll definitely be back! read more

We tried lunch buffet on Sunday and it is not worth the price. Taste is somewhat ok, but spread is less. As the name suggests, it caters to South Indian population, so it is understandable that there won't be too many North Indian choices. But it is not serving even south Indian popular dishes - no dosa, no idli, no vada ... Won't try again read more

Lot of vegetarian choices. Fresh juice and cumin tea on weekend. Good service, Lots of food!!!!! read more

Deep disappointment today after ordering just idlis after a family member recovered from flu. the idlis were so hard and not fresh. Upon calling the restaurant the associate proudly said that they never make fresh and these were made in the morning. I knew it was not even made in the morning but yesterday or even before. read more

Food just not good compared to other Indian restaurants. Pakora in little shreds. Not correctly done.

Great food and service. Came 3rd time with family for dinner and everything was great as usual. This time, we tried Pakora & Sambhar in appetizer, chicken65, Masala Dosa, & lamb for main course, followed by Madrass Coffee to top it off... that hit the spot :) Highly recommended read more

We ordered the Chicken Biryani and it was stale with chicken smelling a little off. The rice was broken from being reheated. Never ordering from here again read more

Bad & rude customer service. We we're trying to add one more small thing to the order and they said no

Great food and service. Must try shrimp rasam and sambar vadai. Not well known beyond regulars.

Stopped here for a dinner with family and friends and I was impressed. Service was quick and we didn't have to wait long to get our food even though it was a busy Saturday night. I tried 3 different types of soups (mutton nenjelumbu, nattu kozhi rasam and hot and sour chicken soup) and I liked the mutton soup the most. It was one of the best I have had. I also tried fish fry, kothu paratha, chicken vindaloo and karaikudi lamb. I liked all of them. I usually prefer chicken more but in this instance I liked the lamb dishes more and kothu paratha was definitely my favorite followed by the lamb dish. Planning to come back here again! read more

AVOID THIS PLACE!! We went here yesterday and all 4 of us have been sick ever since and ended up rushing to the urgent care with stomach flu(gas and vomiting) Our server cleaned the tables with the dirtiest possible cloth and then served us without washing his hands! read more

we headed to the Indian restaurant located in a trip mall in Chelmsford. Parking was easy and the restaurant was quite empty when we arrived at noon. We were quickly seated by a booth near the buffet stations. The decor was modern and the ambiance is great. There were Indian adorning but not as intricate and overwhelming as other restaurants that boasts purple and gold paintings on walls that sometimes can appear cheesy. The food area was very clean and the menu items were well labeled. It was definitely a step up than what we were accustomed to in our Lowell restaurant. There were the usual staple dishes that the Mo loves such as chicken tiki masala and chicken biryani rice dish. My favorite dish was the fish koliwada, which is a Bombay style masala fried fish garnished with fresh herbs and lemon. I've never had it in any of my other Indian buffet experiences, usually just the tandoori chicken is served. I also liked the egg curry which is a whole hard boiled egg in a curry. It was something different that I've never seen or had before, (and we have had many different Indian buffets in our lifetime.) I was slightly disappointed that there were no korma dishes but there were a variety of vegetarian dishes with eggplants, okra and lentils to satisfy many customers. Service was a bit slow as we had plates of dishes piled on our table and our water glasses were empty for most of the time. The waiter brought us over dosa crepes sans the usual potato filling we were used to. I'm not sure if that is part of their usual buffet because no one else received the dosas. (Although dosas are standard at the Pongal in Billerica.) I'm usually too stuffed to try any Indian desserts and I'm not a fan of the usual offerings of Indian rice pudding or gulab jam, fried cheese balls soaked in syrup. One thing that did catch my eye were the frozen orange kulfi, homemade ice-cream made with condensed and evaporated milk. The orange kulfis were beautifully presented in an intact orange shell with just the top missing. The creamy dessert was a great ending to a delicious meal. As we were leaving, the restaurant quickly filled up with other Indian families. At one of the table, some of the teenagers were wearing Exeter hoodies, one can assume they traveled quite a bit to dine at this establishment. Pricing for the buffet is a bit more than the surrounding areas at $14.99 a person + tax. Overall, I would definitely visit again. It was a great meal.

One of the best Indian restaurants around. Been there only once for the lunch buffet. Food was delicious, with several vegetarian options. Would definitely go back. Recommended. Some alternatives ? Priya in Chelmsford. Their lunch buffet is also usually good. read more

This place deserves the lowest possible rating ever. When I called to check if they have dosa, they said yes. They apparently do ala carte during weekends when there is a buffet too. But when my family got there, that was not the case. They were forced to eat at the pricey, poor tasting food in an unhygienic environment. People were taking second helpings using dirty hands. Save your $18 for any other Indian place than this. My worst experience at an Indian restaurant by far. read more

This is really different unexpected delivery south indian food. Returning from the new hindu temple- we stopped by for Dinner. Real good food. Ordered the sweet corn soup, rasam soup, vada (was awesome) veg hakka noodles (had tomato ketchup so was a little sweet) spring dosa, plain dosa- all good. Chutneys were nice too. Dont try the ice cream- not good at all. read more

We went there on Nov. 26th 2020 for their weekend buffet. We were shocked to see the bill. They charged us $24.95 per person. Outrageous! The food was definitely not worth the price. What made me mad was, the online menu does not show any prices. I feel we were tricked. They also charged us default tax of 7.002%. I have to find out what this tax is. I will never go there again. read more

We stopped here during our drive to New York and oh boy! Such amazing food! We devoured every bite! Best malai kofta I've ever had! & the biryani uffff! Every grain had flavor and the scent of saffron was divine. Flavor, flavor & flavor along with freshness! The owner/manager also gave us some sweets (Mysore Pak), that was also yummy & different, since it was our first time trying it. Also, we had there chai, that also hit the spot, it was similar to Irani chai Great service, staff was soo sweet and took such nice care of us. Thank you Team Madras Grill! read more

Food was okay. But the place is a mess, unclean, torn chairs and booths. The service was terrible and the staff were not dressed well. Terrible experience and will not go back again. read more

I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer for takeout. They were super quick and COIVD-conscious, leaving it by the door for pickup. The actual food was ok. The chicken had a strange consistency and the sauce was a bit too sweet. It was a lot of food though, so they definitely don't rip you off with that. read more

Mother's Day was very crowded! Many Indian families here. The buffet line was enormous so we ordered off the menu. Despite this the service was good, with allowance for the overwhelming crowds. I had the Gongura Chicken. It's quite spicy, it has no stars but should show two. The Andrha Eggplant was very good--hubby scarfed it down! We will come back another day for sure. read more

Truly outstanding South Indian food. We lived in Bangalore for a year and Delhi another six months and are desperate for good South Indian food. Very hard to find in the US After explaining where we lived and what we liked we accepted the recommendations. I got the Koda mutton and my wife the Andra peppers. They were actually Hatch which we will try at home All outstanding. We will be back! read more

It was about 8:00pm on Sunday I went for quick snack to go. We were greeted by a gentleman , even though I was ordering take out he sat me on the bar and served water which was really touchy. I ordered Samosa and garlic naan. Samosa could be better but garlic Naan was very good and fresh, they informed us they have buffet everyday. I will be back for buffet whenever I am around. read more
