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.

Always a Pleasure – This is our 500000 visit to Madras, I used to come with my family when I was 14 years old and is always a pleasure and good time to eat here. If I know anything about Indian food is all because of Madras Mahal. They cook good, they serve well and they know how to make a customer feel right at home. At least that's how my family feels, they have catered to my sister's wedding and it was excellent. I take many of my Indian friends and they all enjoy and are now regular at madras Mahal. Lady Host is excellen... read more

subpar experience – We were 17 people dining that night. Not even one was satisfied. The service was Ok, but the manager/owner was very rude and nasty, who made my 4 year old daughter step out in bitter cold because she had a small left over slice of pizza, which she wanted to take bite from. Not only that ,the food is not even close to what it should taste like. Uttapams were not properly cooked.Rasam was tasteless. Dosas were not good.

Best of Best .. – I had the best time at the "Madras Mahal". A bunch of us friends wanted to celebrate a birthday in NYC and we wanted to have a really nice, authentic, exotic, dinner. Madras Mahal introduced us to a harmony of Eastern flavor and Western aura. The atmosphere was so serene and welcoming. The food was the best in its class. The Dosa was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside... golden to perfection. The chef had made it with the exact level of spice that my tasatebuds were looking for. The service was i... read more

Excellent South Indian Food. – I had Onion Rava masala dosa and I loved it. It was right crisp with authentic sambar (lentil soup). I am very impressed by dishes I had ordered but dosa was exceptional.

Great Indian Vegan with outstanding service – I am a vegan and was searching for a decent vegetarian place one of my neighbours recommended Madras Mahal and I went with my cousin not sure what to expect and I asked for help in suggesting something less spicy and vegan. There was this lady hostess who was good help as she mostly place an order for all the items. I had channa masala (chik peas) and my cusin had beigan bharta(rosted eggplant) with paratha. ..Oh and for starters we had delicious samosa. I and my cousin both had ... read more

It was ok. – I tried this place after reading these reviews here, but unfortunately, maybe it was'nt a good day, my experience was not as good as others have mentioned here. Maybe my expectations were too high.
