Have been here twice, once for buffet and once for the regular menu. Both times was excellent! Off the menu i got palak paneer and garlic Naan, both were great and also great as leftovers. I also shared samosas with friends and everyone I was with enjoyed their meals. We came for a Sunday lunch buffet and I found it to be a great spread. There were some dishes I was familiar with and some not, a great variety and plenty to eat especially if you're not super picky and like trying new things. I loved the mushroom 65. The buffet also had mango Lassi (milkshake) and coffee, which you don't usually see and was a great touch. There were a couple dessert options which I really enjoyed too.

The food and the service were outstanding! Really appreciated the portions and the prices!! I can't wait to go back. The butter chicken was on point! And I highly recommend the garlic naan bread.

Food here is delicious!!! Will be one of my regular stops! I had the chicken Korma & was able to do a side by side comparison of another well known establishment & Madras was much more tender & flavorful.

Service: very attentive staff. Manager explained the house special and what region it is from in India. Really kind and friendly. Food: fresh and flavorful! Many dishes I've never had so it was fun trying some new dishes.

The food here is so flavorful and spicy! They have a veggie side and a meat side, and often have fresh pressed juice and chai or hot milk in a carafe, all homemade. Service is great and the food is fresh and hot. I love how they offer a variety of meats, not just the usual butter chicken and Tikka masala. They usually have goat and fish options in addition to chicken and veg.

Very unique flavors and authentic. Indian food. The chef is the owner! Service was great!

We'd been wanting to check this place out and we finally did on mother's day, so it was a little busier than normal - but not a problem. They offer an impressive line-up of Indian dishes that were constantly being replenished. So many dishes to try, and thankfully unlimited plates to fill. They post their buffet menu daily so you know what's being served and can truly try all their amazing dishes. A favorite of mine was surprisingly a vegetarian dish - paneer matar masala - but learning it's made with cottage cheese made sense - I love cheese! It tasted delicious with both rice and their buttered naan (which was another big favorite of ours,) Ken was a big fan of their nellai chicken kolambu. Service was very nice and quick.

I WILL be coming back to Madras. The food was seriously incredible. I couldn't believe the unique options to choose from on this menu and was delighted with every single item we ordered. The dosa was so much bigger than I expected and came with 4 unique and delicious sauces (dips?). The parantha was an incredible layered experience. I even enjoyed the chilly chicken my friend ordered (it had a little spice that resonated on the back end but for someone that doesn't like spicy food I throughly enjoyed it ). As for atmosphere, it was a very tasteful interior. The only downside was the parking lot construction-- we almost left thinking they were closed. THANKFULLY, we checked and were able to sit down because we would have missed out on a new favorite place. Looking forward to my next visit!

Their food has bold Indian food flavors which we love! We LOVE their Chicken lollipop...Very flavorful! Lunch buffet was excellent as well! Only one thing Madras is missing is the lamb chops unfortunately..Hopefully they add lamb chops soon!

As a Bangladeshi here in Grand Rapids, I am always on the lookout for South Asian restaurants in town! Madras is a new Indian spot that my parents (the ultimate South Asian food critics) have been raving about since they opened - so I finally had the chance to try it out myself! I was so satisfied by this meal. I thought everything we got was full of flavor, and you can tell that the food is being freshly made. We started out with the Masala Dosa, Gobi Manchurian, and the Chicken Pakoda. Soo good! The dosa had the perfect crispiness, my mouth is watering as I write about it And the spice level was also perfect! For entrees we got paratha with the butter chicken and kadai chicken. Altogether, this was more than enough food for the four of us. The chai and the carrot halwa were also the perfect combination to end the meal. The restaurant is clean and the service was extremely attentive and efficient. I look forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!
