About this business

Madras Mahal is the first Indian Restaurant on the Lexington Avenue. It is also the uniquely first one to promote KOSHER Indian Vegetarian food. For almost 20 years it has maintained its quality of food for better taste and has provided a delightful experience of dinning at an Indian Restaurant. NY Press has awarded us for our Excellency in making "Dosai" in 1996. We understand that saying is not enough unless you experience it by your self. We would like to welcome you at Madras Mahal to enjoy the variety of food from North... read more

Roach found in Sambar !!! Disgusting! – Absolutely revolting experience. I found a roach leg in my sambar in a delivery. I immediately called the restaurant to complain and they hung up on me. I have reported the restaurant to the NY Department of Health. Avoid this place at all costs. If I found a roach leg in my sambar, there's no telling what else you might find! Sesh

Bad Business – The food was not bad. But the management argued over of their own groupon promotion. He was unwilling to honor the customer even with the promotion shown in published writing.

Extremely bad experience for Students. – Extremely bad experience at Madral Mahal. They worked w/ Groupon to advertise a deal, that we purchased and got us into the restaurant but didn't honor it when we were done w/ our meals. My roommate and I first found out of about the place through the website called Groupon/Now where they had a deal that said spend $8 and get $15 dollars worth of food. We both purchased a deal each and decided to pay for our own meals. We had used Groupon several times at several restaurants before an... read more

Kosher & Interesting – Madras Mahal is a kosher vegetarian restaurant, that not forgotten that the main purpose of restaurant is to serve good interesting food. Most of the items offered at Madras are standard fare for New York Indian restaurants; although all are kosher and non meat (some are dairy), but there are much larger selection of vegetarian dishes. While the food is good, there is one item that stands out the Dosai. These are very large (over 24”) fried thin double layered pastries, rolled and filled with a large v... read more

FANTASTIC VEGETARIAN FOOD!!! – I'm a Vegetarian, and it's extremely difficult to find an authentic Indian vegetarian restaurant. Majority of restaurants have bland taste with little or NO spice, even though I tell them to make it spicy. Madras Mahal was amazing. The food was FRESH, TASTY, and everything was made ON TIME! Friendly service and the knowledgable. I went there to try South Indian cuisines, and it was excellent! The second time I went, I tried North - Gujarati foods, and it was also amazing. I later realized that ... read more

The Best Indian Restaurant in NYC – I'm a long time client of Madras Mahal. I have been going there for the last 20 years. And Indian restaurants in NYC come and go, but Madras Mahal has stayed....well there is a reason for that, they are #1 in their South Indian dishes. AUTHENTIC WITH THEIR PERSONAL TOUCHES! You tell them how to make it, and it's done! I truly think it's a great experience for anybody that loves Indian Food. Thank you Madras Mahal for all years of Dosa Service to NYC!
