In Short
The simple decor, held over from a former Mexican restaurant, won't win any prizes. But the friendly and attentive waitstaff, excellent presentation of dishes and soothing smell of burning incense all go a long way toward making this a pleasant dining experience. South Indian specialties like onion masala dosai will pique your curiosity. Curries include avial, with potatoes, carrots and green bananas stewed in a tangy coconut-yogurt curry.

We went to this place for the first time. We were seated promptly but the waitress sounded very rude and very unattentive. Medhu vada tasted like made out of kerosene. We waited for 25 minutes to get the noodles for our kid. South Indian Thali was below average. Sambar is just ok. But the noodle tasted good. I was waiting for my desert and coffee to come for ever. Finally I have to ask her to bring my dessert and coffee which is part of my Madras Pavilion special meal. Talking about coffee - it is a big cheating because I was able to see waitress making the coffee by boiling the milk in the microwave in the corner and adding some instant coffee mix. PLEASE do not call this as original madras coffee. Please do not insult madras coffee. We are not planning on going back again.

I've been there twice and both times the food was very tasty and freshly made. The dosai was fantastic. Much better than any other Indian restaurant I've tried in Austin. This was recommended to me by my Indian friends, and I can see why. Try it for yourself!!

I go here for their lunch buffet about once a month. It is always wonderful, but I highly recommend Tuesdays, as that is the day that they have this amazing cauliflower dish (I do NOT know the name of it, nor have I been able to duplicate it at home). It is always very crowded at lunch, so I recommend going early if you can swing it. It's definitely worth it though! And don't forget about the dosa that is incluced with the lunch buffet price! TASTY!
