Madras Café - (Near Sunnyvale, CA)

4 /5 Patrick Densmore: Very good vegetarian food and helpful advice when ordering if you’re not familiar with some of the menu items. We have been here for dinner as well as lunch multiple times. This place always seems busy, which is a good sign.

3 /5 Info Source: Established and serving South Indian vegetarian food for a long time. Overall it’s a decent place, however they can improve taste and service better. Chutneys are very bland and so are other items except for Sambar. Sambar Vada is good, Dahi Vada is ok on the bland side otherwise ok. Asked for Onion Ravva dosa with special request not make it toooo crispy, they served under done dosa with plenty of onions :( Quality wise pretty decent and not oily :) service could be better, place order and pay, they bring your food to the table instead of taking order while seated. They have grocery store with food court with a shared kitchen. For pickups order from food court for faster service and they may have additional items and snacks.

3 /5 Raj Arcot: The price in Madras cafe is lower than most other Indian restaurants in bay area. The South Indian food quality esp meal is also good. The coffee is good The interiors and service are below average. Overall reasonable Indian option in south bay if one is looking quality South Indian food.

2 /5 Vijay J: I’ve been here twice. My first experience was ok, but this time it was bad. Service is bad and can be improved. The guy at the billing counter was super rude and not paying attention at all. Our order came late - he forgot one item and said “we’re running late” with a straight face. The waiters on the other hand were good. I wouldn’t blame them. Food on the other hand was average. The Vada and sambar were good, apart from that everything was subpar. The chutneys were horrible. Filter coffee was too bad. Tasted sour and no trace of coffee decoction. I liked the open seating outside, it was a good vibe. But food and service are more important to me. I don’t see myself coming back here for more.
